    I don't get why Vazquez held his hands tucked underneath his chin. He was just asking to get twatted round the face with a hook.

    yeah, it looked like more of a protecting his body thing, he has short arms right? He doesn't have the long arms to defend body and head at the same time like Winky did, it's one or the other for Mr Stumpy Arms

    the plot thickens

    Hmmm, yeah I think he did have some T-rex arms.

    :good:good:good

    If Duran & Whitaker were merged? Unbeatable? you could'nt have a 50/50 as one half would have to sacrifice something as surely no one man could ever be able to have & utilise everything in one form that these 2 fistic titans brought into the ring. Polar opposites in many ways with one excelling at offence juxtaposted with instintive defensive nous & the other excelling at defence also juxtaposed with instinctive & much underated/appreiciated killer instict.

    Juanma's shoulder roll was just comical at times. It seems like the 'in' thing to do at the moment but very few have got it mastered.

    I had to laugh at him when he elbowed Salido by mistake, he was struggling to deal with his own arms :lol:.

    I've had enough of people trying the shoulder roll. It only works for those with ace reflexive qualities, the likes of JuanMa, Broner and :)lol:) Mitchell attempting to implement it haven't been commendable at all, it's laughable.
