the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

Yuh would break Gushiken down IMO.

Beautiful to watch was Yoko, but seemed shaky to me. That Guzman twatted his afro and had him on giddy knees as well as Flores stopping him. Yuh would be stronger down the stretch IMO.

Lora, did I ask you before how you scored the Poontarat-Watanabe fight? (1st one)

How does everyone see the straight-punching Thai Olympian getting on with Khaosai?

I'd need to watch it again to score round by round.i seem to recall watanabe finished strong, had Poonterat shaking a few times and the decision was just, albeit with a number of close rounds in there.Yet another fight that needs a rewatch i suspect.

Have you seen Poonterat vs Orono? That was another close one. i remember thinking Orono was unlucky to lose despite being past his best.

A good fighter though was Poonterat, he'd give Galaxy a tougher challenge than anyone else he fought, though i'm unsure i'd favour him as he seemed to like a flat footed comfort zone for long stretches.He did show quite good mobility and backfoot countering against Espadas.However, guty was small at the weight and never really recovered from the Chan-Hee Park debacle.

[Flea Man]

I've seen the Espedas and Orono fights, I felt the Thai nicked the Orono fight, although both did well. Orono seemed awkward for the basic (but efficient) Thai, although Poontarat dropped him and won the battle of the jabs I thought.

I had Poontarat winning the 1st Watanabe fight handily, 116-112. I felt Jiro gave away way too many rounds before he actually had any reasonable output. One of his laziest.

I got Greb/Rosenbloom on ebay last week, it was labeled as "old boxing film" and the seller said he just found it in an old tin superman lunchbox. Shit fight. Anyone who said Greb won it easy is a hack. There was a lot of ineffective flurrying from both guys. I only scored the first seven rounds, 4 for Greb, 3 for Maxie, then I shut 'er off and tossed 'em in the trash compactor (An autographed Razor Ruddock compactor, thank you very much). I knew I was never going to watch that shit again. There was more boxing skill on display in this:

Pretty decent brief Gushiken highlight.You would probably like most of his stuff addie.Very good easy on the eye textbook style and good combos.

In a theoretical best vs. best it's hard for me to say, but given a few matches in reality what you say is probably spot on Flea.

Yuh was the more dedicated man and would see the task through to it's completion if they had a series of fights between them.

Then again, Yuh might eat the sushi laid on for him backstage

Just settled down with a bottle of Teachers and some Flyweight fights for me to watch.

First up Chan Hee Park vs Guty Espadas.

Espadas starts really promising, stalking intently with a nice defence of parry's and blocks looking to step into range with some hard mid-range counters, and he does just that with a left hook inside a speedy Park jab that drops the Oriental, whose up straight away.

Park responds well with nice jabs and combinations, where Park's stance looks bad in that hes hunched over his jab (giving up his height advantage) it really benefits his over hand right and left hooks. He starts snapping out speedy jabs with not much on them, hoping for Espadas to step to him then land some counter over hand rights and left hooks. This has sucess as he drops Espadas twice then finishes him off in the second.

Next up, Charlie Magri vs Alfonso Lopez.

I love watching both these guys, for differing reasons. Magri is a fun boxer-puncher with a solid skillset and a devastating offence (for a Flyweight no less) and is always slightly hittable. Lopez on the other hand is mister smooth, hes so lovely to watch in that Panamaniam sort of samba.

Lopez is slightly past it, his feet look heavier and it really damages his footwork, and his reflexes are slightly off. So he sort of resorts to flashes of brilliance, with some lovely right hands followed by a quick slip and pivot away from Magri's right hand, but he just can't sustain it.

Magri on the other hand is looking razor sharp, as he keeps that left jab pumping waiting for the right moments to step in with combinations, which he does extremly well. Early on he picks his spots brilliantly, but as the fight goes on Lopez becomes more aggressive and has more sucess but Magri grits it out late with some hard combo's.

Really nice fight to watch IMO

Alberto Davila vs Chul Swan Seul

What a delight Davila is to watch. I mean probably my favrouite Bantamweight to watch, imagine him vs Rose?

Well this is Davila on the prowl for a title shot as Pintor is moving to SBW and leads to his ill-fated fight with Bejines.

Davila is just quality in this fight his slips and bobs are amazing at long-range as he then steps in with his jabs and lets loose with sharp combinations at mid-range then slides off at an angle.

His left hook is just superb throughout as he doubles it up, body and head, I just love Davila. I mean it. A left hook early in the second stuns the Korean matey, and another one late ron drops him. H gets up but some pin point combos by Davila late in the round drops him again and finishes him.
