the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

Plenty. But In that B+ pack he could claim some scalps IMO.

The likes of Zarate,Pintor and Davila would be a bridge too far. I rate all of them over Chandler. The likes of Jofre, Harada and Olivares would be too much. Venice Bus Station would beat him, obviously.

 

You have to remember, his wins over Moon and Vasquez were very one-sided. Those performances are both outstanding IMO, and Khaokor lacked the dig of his brother.

 

Medel would beat Venice hey

 

Nah. Borkhorsor would stay behind his jab and counter Medel, not walking into his traps. Herrera hurt him and he got back up, if hurt he can come through it IMO.

Borkhorsor steadily brutalises Medel. Decision win :yep

 

Pintor above chandler? Do you think he deserved to beat carlos?

 

Khaokor would have a good shot at Olivares, stylistically.Ruben didn't do too greatly against fighters with the strength, tight straight punching and chin to stand in close with him and beat him to the punch.

Then again maybe olivares would go to his underestimated awkward mobility and win there like the rubbermatch with Castillo and the first ten against Alexis.

 

That's what I'm thinking. If he doesn't stand his ground with Khaokor then the Thai is ****ed in terms of what he brings to the table. And, although he was proven tough, if he and Olivares have a shootout it's Olivares with the bigger power.

Khaokor was adept at turning or spinning off his man and firing off shots when settled, and repeat. This could stunt Olivares' timing and, as you say, let Galaxy get off first.

Olivares has more ways to win IMO.

 

No I thought Zarate got the better of it, but no shame there. But Pintor was an ace boxer-puncher. If Chandler had faced the quality that Guadalupe did he'd have a far spottier record IMO.

 

I really rate Olivares in that mode by the way.

 

It bears repeating too, that the Zarate-Pintor fight was very close. Zarate deserved to win I thought, but I only had him up by a couple points.

A past prime and already injury ravaged Grigorian beats up his limited "typical strawweight challenger" level opponent.

What a waste of a career this guy was.He was a good fighter who could have been right in the mix making interesting fightswith the other lightweight champions and genuinely solid contenders of his day.

Instead he did a 90s calzaghe, but (marco rudolph aside) without even the serviceable domestic talent or past prime names that Joe would defend against.

 

Tough to say. I don't think Chandler's opposition at bantamweight is really that bad and Jeff came through it OK, for the most part. I think they both run the other's list of challengers. Jeff might have struggled with Davila and Owen, but I think he still wins both fights.

 

Yeah chandler is underrated in terms of his opposition quality imo. He did pretty good with who he fought and was largely successful.

 

New pics and newspaper articles of Borkhorsor found! Anyone know someone at Boxrec I can contact to thank/find out where they found them?

 

Just watched a collection of old fights.

Fitz v corbett
Jeffries v sharkey
Burns v o'brien
Burns v squires.

I also saw another corbett fight but I can't remember the name. He was some regional champ.

Fitz genuinely looks world class slipping the left hook and landing the body shot. Really good moves. He's in my top 3 p4p as well btw.

Jeffries v sharkey was recorded through a hidden camera so the quality wasn't the best. Jeffries ring movement was quite impressive though. He was a good ring general. He wasn't this caveman brawler he's made out to be, he was much more of a boxer, seemed to punch at range and clinch in tight. Maybe boxing hasn't progressed that much after all.

The less said about burns o'brien, the better.

Burns looked awesome against squires. The guy reportedly was on a 37 ko streak and had his **** pushed in by really good sharp counters.
