the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

It's quality imo right blend of sweetness.

My flyweight knowledge is next to nothing between the era of wilde and darch

 

Park Vs Espedas is one of my favourite shoot outs. Two very talented Flyweights.

 

I agree Greg, only way to take it, straight!

 

Nah, it's ****. :!:

 

Watching Frazier vs Quarry II. Both great fights, but here they are both noteably dull compared to their first fight.

 

Marlon Starling vs Donald Curry I

Marlon Starling: 1, 5, 8, 9, 11
Donald Curry: 2, 4, 7, 10, 12

5-5-2. Draw.

I really enjoyed this one. Curry always got the better of things when he kept the fight at a distance, whereas I liked Starling's uppercuts on the inside. I think Curry was hurt on two occasions in this one, one occasion from a Starling right hand for sure. Super close. Super competitive.

 

:happy I had first fight a draw. Too much posing from Moochy.

Check out the 2nd, an inside fighting masterclass from both, Curry has come on leaps and bounds and Moochy has to accommodate him.

Starling was an incredible inside technician and for Curry to have the success there that he did impressed me immensely. Countering in close from both is sheer class. Curry opened up in the 15th and had Starlig in more trouble than I've seen him in any round in his career. I had it 10-5 (or 9-6) Curry, both men look ace!

1st Breland fight for you next Addie if you're still intrigued :thumbsup Then Honeyghan.

 

I like Moochy. Perhaps if he had clowned a little less and got more work done on the inside exchanges than he would have done enough in the eyes of the judges. Curry performed at a high level too, but if I was pressed to award anyone the fight than it would have been Starling. He landed the two most decisive punches in the fight in my opinion.

I have the rematch ready to watch, and I've also been on the look out for the first Breland fight but haven't had any luck so far. I've seen the Honeyghan fight, Flea. Very one-sided from what I remember. :think

 

Breland I is on youtube :good

Yes, Moochy lost the first Starling fight IMO, too eager to show off his flamboyant touches (Starling Stomp!) in his first TV fight. Curry was pretty green, and despite being the more lauded prospect of the two learned a lot from it, for most of his career Starling didn't, but when he wanted to up the ante he was a spiteful fighter to be up against.

You'll love the 2nd fight mate :good

 

As for the Honeyghan fight, once Starling found his range and timing Honey was clueless (I gave The Ragamuffin Man the 1st two rounds). A comprehensive win over the undisputed no.1 in the division when Starling was coming straight off the most shocking and controversial moment of his career. Summed up Moochys class IMO.

 

:good I can't wait to watch the rematch, Flea. I'll post my scores when I do.

 

Hiroki Ioka vs Myung Woo Yuh II

Myung Woo Yuh: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Hiroki Ioka: 4

120-109 Yuh

Yuh faces off against the only man to beat him and gives him a schooling. Ioka barely lands a shot of note throughout the 12 rounds, bullied in the exchanges and routinely out-jabbed at a distance. I struggled to give him a single solitary round.

 

I watched Borkhorsor-Salavarria in my head and was thoroughly intimidated.

 

Man, watching Jones outbox and obliterate Barrera in both fights is great. Those right hands are something else. Jones definitely had some wasted talent. He looks great here.

 

Pacquiao-Marquez 1 (bit too mainstream for you fellas but just wanted to go over it again!)
