I could listen to McGuigan all night, love him (No homo) We saw a whole new side of Watt tonight, he was great. Anyone else think he'd be great doing a Fight Plan type thing like Teddy Atlas does on ESPN?
Imagine it.. Watt on how Barker beats Martinez ''First thing he's gotta do is throw arrrumm punches, got to get them flowing from early on, Don't worry about Martinez slickness. He has to be willing to miss with 1 to land with the other. Let the arrrruuuum punches go in 3's and 4's''.
Watt was class when he was doing the tactics and Nelson is a good foil for that role, that is what his strengths are. McGuigan couldnt cope that Watt trumped his tactics with the more convincing game plan. McGuigan was saying that Haye should hold the centre of the ring. But, Watt dismissed this and I have to agree with him. McGuigan looked like he was raging when Watt was going through his tactical workout in the ring and just had to have the last word:yep
He didnt, he was quite clear how he scored that fight. He was scoring it as he percieved the judges to be scoring it in Germany. And I have to say, I was agreeing with him, I was expecting the judges to go Valuev.
Not just arummmm punches Ian, eez worked harrd in the Gymnasium. These arrr real sickeners. Hutful hutful punches.
I was disapointed with Nelson's impersonation of Wlad though. He was throwing a jab like an Ingle fighter, and his hands were down :-(
Are we going to see shattered glass on par with Hatton-Pac? I think Haye is going to get put to sleep in the first half of this fight.
