His shots against the ropes weren't looping. That was pure scoring stuff. Oscar was wilin' out for the KO
Magna, I'd be concerned about Bradley after that fight. He couldn't get out of the way of the right hand and he took A LOT of punishment. That's the kinda a fight a guy might not come all the way back from. What do you think?
His instincts are to fight back when hurt there's no doubt about it. Just like the action-packed Graziano. It's that warrior instinct. Had it been Zale he would have been put out of there, just like Graziano.
This is a great thread here, going to bookmark it and go through the fights later, there's a ton I haven't seen yet.
You know whats a great little fight that never gets listed, Johnston vs Manfredy. Its one of those fights that needs to get a mention now and then, because although neither fighter was ever really badly hurt, it had high quality skill levels and loads of leather thrown. Some of the body shots that Manfredy threw were hellacious, it was the heavier hitter in Manfredy versus the superior boxer with the better workrate in Johnston. Johnston just adapts as the fight goes on and teaches Manfredy a lesson in the end.
Johnston's two fights with Castillo and his two tilts with Cesar Bezan were quite a bit of fun. For that matter, so was Castillo's fight with Bezan.

Greg Page - Gerrie Coetzee (Page had tons of natural abillity and showed it when on). Tyrone Everett - Alfredo Escalera (school in session) Michael Spinks - Eddie Mustafa Muhammad Lupe Pintor - Eijiro Murata Lee Roy Murphy - Chisanda Mutti Marvin Johnson - Jean Marie Emebe
If Floyd turned in a performance against an ATG the way Lionel did in that fight, some people would be calling him the greatest of all time.
