Ayala vs. Nunn

Nunn takes him apart with underrated body work, lightning fast shots and a good size advantage.

 

I agree. When Leonard and Hearns fought the second time, neither of them wanted anything to do with Nunn. He had just nearly decapitated a guy in one round whose name I can't remember.

I don't really know who Tony Ayala ever beat to give him such a rep. His brother Mike was a defensive wizard, but Tony just overpowered a list of no-names and then turned into a criminal.

 

Nunn, easy.

Bigger, faster, more proven.

 

Sambu Kalumbay?

 

yes, I think Nunn knocked him cold with one punch. Thanks.

 

This isn't even a match Nunn wins by 3rd round knockout, skill level too deep for Ayala.

 

I always said there is no such thing as a fluke punch, but if there was that was a fluke punch. Kalambay was fighting here late in the evening and it was an odd atmosphere, sort of like Tyson vs. Spinks.

 

Nunn would outbox him easily for 5 or 6 rounds and stop him in about 7. Sort of like the Juan Roldan fight in 1988 when he fought Nunn. He gave Nunn some trouble, but Michael eventually landed some good punches and stopped him in 8.. I think it was round 8.

 

LMAO! This must be a joke.

Ayala wouldn't see the 5th.

Not a competitive fight in the least bit.

 

The knockout of Kalambay was no fluke. that's nuts. I have watched the fight over N over. Tho Kalambay was slicker than Ray Leonard & Wilfred Benitez, Mike was slicker N quicker still

He made Sumbu fight HIS fight, forced him to make mistakes, stick his head up & drop his hands, and then capitalize with a left that made a sickening thud, followed by an even louder thud as Sumbu hit the floor

What bothers me about Mike vs Tony is the height difference. the intangibles: could Tony take Mike's best and still wear down Mike the way Toney did?

keep in mind that Toney was a near novice but had a great chin N drive

could Ayala do the same? I think so

Tony Ayala comes on strong and forces a 10 round stoppage

 

lmao!

 

didnt say it would be easy but Tony packs more of a wallop than just about anyone and that included James who is more of a stand up boxer-puncher

The pressure by Tony was intense and would cause Mike, who I love as a fighter, to wilt. by round 8, he would be in trouble and start to sag. Only his great fighting heart would keep him erect but would eventually be claimed by round ten

 

nothing Tony did proves he could do this. From Nunn's career it is evident that he would probably stop Tony in the late to middle rounds by TKO.

 

Ayala was a midget and a junior middleweight through and through. He would have been nothing at 160. Especially against a HUGE 6'2 southpaw like Nunn, who was one of the most physically gifted middleweights of all time.

Ayala walks into uppercut after uppercut and ends up on his face.

VERY EASY fight for Nunn.
