The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Second to Daniel Jimenez Vs Harold Grier(sp?) like 15 years ago.

If you count the IBU title then Shannon Briggs holds it but it's Jimenez.

Also, Pong-Naito was the quickest in flyweight history, not boxing full stop.

 

Ah i see thanks, Mcclellan-bell was still one quick ****ing fight though

 

Me 1-0 Jpab19

McClellan was a true beast, SOK. One of the best knockout artists of all time IMO.

 

:twisted:

You mean Jpab 7-1 SportsLeader, seeing as this always happens the other way around.


Also, I brought more facts to the table and didn't even research it so :tong.

 

Yeah, a ****ing massive middleweight to go along with it, probably could have been big even at light-heavyweight. Its a case of what might have been with Mclellan. Serious talent.

 

Ricky burns Nicky cook must be up there for shortest world title fight

 

Naz Vs that African was quickest IIRC.

 

Pacquiao vs Clottey (120-108). Mistake watching that fight.

Calderon vs Segura (66-67) - very good fight.

I've watched the first four of Jones Jr. vs Hopkins I and Roy seems to be running away with it. I'll finish that some other time.

 

G-Man was just a Cruiserweight cutting massive amounts of weight. It was his size that enabled him to batter people so.

A near blind Jackson and damaged Mugabi? I'm not convinced.

 

Degale-Groves. I remember adrenaline getting me through watching it live but was pretty hard to watch this time. Round 6 and 8 particularly. Lots of close rounds and quite hard to score but I thought Groves boxed excellently at times. Listening to Colin Hart's commentary was funny as **** tho; think he had Degale winning by as many points as he could count to

R1 - Even 10-10
R2 - Groves 10-9
R3 - Degale 9-10
R4 - Groves 10-9
R5 - Groves 10-9
R6 - Degale 9-10
R7 - Groves 10-9
R8 - Even 10-10
R9 - Degale 9-10
R10 - Groves 10-9
R11 - Groves 10-9
R12 - Degale 9-10

Groves 116 - 114 Degale

 

:good

The guy was crazily flawed technically. Someone like Jones Jr. would've shut him out.

 

Out of interest, do you know what his score was?

It's one of those fights where I think you'll struggle to score it more than 2 points either way. As shown by this post by 'Mo in the scorecards thread a while back:

 

He had it 116-112 Degale in the end. The bit that got me even more was that he had it 6-2 to Degale after 8 which I could not understand at all. Although some rounds were tight, I feel there was enough clear rounds so, as you say, you couldn't have it more than a couple of points either way really.

 

I had it 115-114. I still maintain that Groves won the last two rounds.

I started watching Gamboa vs Salido, I really need to watch more of his stuff. Beast.

 

I had to watch the last round 3 times cos I was conscious of the fact I had already scored 2 even rounds. Degale starts the round well and Groves finishes brilliantly; Degale just sneaks it for me.
