None of the news reports are describing the fight on a blow-by-blow basis. I would really like to know what unfolded in the ring tactically. Did anyone here attend in person? My guess is that Welliver maintained his distance, drew Cooper's lead punches, then countered with speedy rights and lefts. If not that, then Cooper probably bumrushed Welliver all night, only to get tied-up and slapped around. It would be nice to know more about Chauncy's tactics....strengths, weaknesses, etc...as they've been demonstrated in the ring. The only Welliver film available on the net is the Solis fight, which only tells us that Chauncy's got a chin, nice defensive instincts, and -- just maybe -- has the character (fighter's "architecture") necessary to make a run on the world stage. But it would be nice to analyze how Chauncy performs in his tune-ups. It sucks that there aren't films out there.
theres a reason this 4 fight card event wont be leaked . 2 ended in 1 round kos, 1 was a NC , the other contained a 46 year old 312th ranked heavyweight with 23 losses vs a top 15 active fighter
True. I agree. But still I am dying to know what Welliver brings to table in weaponry and tactics. Seeing him in his tune-ups could help answer this riddle.
I saw it. Chauncy came out on his toes, Sugar Ray like. Feet so fast every time I blinked he was on another side of the ring. He pumped the jab, efficient, swift and effective. Stinging and moving, slipping Cooper's powerful punches without need for a guard; lateral movement and bobbing and weaving negated all of his savvy opponets offence... Anyone believing this? :huh:huh
He's been hanging around the ratings for a few years now, and will definitely be involved in a big fight or two. Either we'll see Chauncy against top names on TV (at least once, maybe more), or we'll see him in a few regional belt title fights against lower top-15 names. Either way, he'll be a factor in the ratings. So, I want to know more about him. He's kind of mysterious as a fighter. I found some of his youtube stuff today and was surprised to see that he looked more like a volume-punching brawler than the slap-and-move boxer I always thought he was.
