The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Betulio Gonzalez – Guty Espadas

 

Great fight :good

 

Boza Edwards-Arguello. Merciful corner stoppage by Lawless and Duff.

 

That was Boza at his technical peak IMO. The subsequent cut to super feather took something out of his legs.

 

duran v barkley

116-112 duran

duran last great performance

 

I had it 114-113 to Duran. Great fight.

 

Thats how I score it, that left hook Barkley lands would have killed an ordinary man. It spins Duran around but he doesnt go down :yikes

I still get excited & start screaming & shouting when he knocks Barkley down.

Rewatched DeJesus II the other day, probably my favourite Duran fight.

 

****ing brilliant that exchange you're talking about.

Boxing is crazy. Duran gets smashed by Hearns at 155. Barkley surprises Hearns and destroys him in a few rounds at 160. Duran manages to be a better fighter in just about enough rounds and puts a big, strong middle on his arse in the championship rounds. No matter who you score it to, it's another feather in Duran's cap as it's a monster performance. Shows off his defensive reflexes as well, despite being past his best and a solid, but chunky middleweight.

Then Duran & Leonard had one of the worst fights I've ever seen

 

Had to watch some Sal Sanchez. Went for his shootout with "Bazooka", great scrap!

 

Roberto Duran - Sugar Ray Leonard I
Marvin Johnson - Matthew Saad Muhammad II
Alexis Arguello - Royal Kobayashi
Michael Nunn - James Toney
James Toney - Reggie Johnson (Weird seeing Toney get put on his ass like that)

 

Ive got to check this out.

There is the KD.

Toney's first defense of the IBF title he won from Nunn.

 

Just watched Morales Barrerra 1 and scored it, I didnt count the KD in the last round but scored that 10-9 to Barrera anyhow, I had Barrerra the winner of the fight by 1 point.

 

It's not a judges job to do that. :nono

 

Yeah I know, and in that case I had Barrera by an extra point, the judges scoring seemed fishy to me, I thought he dominated the fight.
