The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Floyd Patteron vs Ingamar Johansson 1,2 and 3.

Floyd struggles to get beyond the jab in the first fight. He is kept at bay and finally dropped with one hell of a right hand in the 3rd round. Patterson was dropped 6 more times before the fight was stopped in the 3rd.

The second fight - Patterson successfully gets inside the Ingamar jab, and brutalises his man in the 5th. The Swiss is reportedly unconcious for 5 minutes before being helped onto his stall. Patterson became the first HW to successfully regain the championship. 12 had tried, 12 had failed :yep

The rubber match - Started at a manic pace. Ingamar drops Patterson hard twice in the 1st round, before Floyd knocks Ingamar down in the same round. Patterson went to the body, wearing his man down, before finally knocking him out in the 6th.

 

The 2nd fight is one of the greatest left hook K.Os of all time :deal

 

Brilliant.

 

Fantastic KO.

 

Get on your black and white thread and praise my work :yep

 

:good

Going to watch another fight before I go to bed. Give me some suggestions lads!

 

Rubin Carter SD10 George Benton

 

I love watching Benton, so I'll go with that :good

 

You already seen it? His fights with Allen Thomas and Boyd are on YouTube as well :yep

 

Yeah, I spent 1 day watching only Benton and Locche fights a few weeks ago :yep

 

You seen Cervantes-Dejesus? On YouTube in it's entirety? Or maybe the Salsivar-Winstone fights? All on there in full, one video per fight :good

 

I've saw the Winstone - Salsivar fight. Watched it not long after my trainer was involved with the Winstone film that came out. Apparently, Morales told people there that he was a natural southpaw :blood.

I'll watch Cervantes - DeJesus tomorrow, cheers mate :good

Going to watch Carter - Benton soon before I head to bed

 

Now I never knew that!!!
