Miguel Cotto has to be the most frustrating guy I have ever rooted for gases as usual in the seventh and stops punching after landing and stops punching when you need him to start fighting. Ive never been screaming and as pissed as watching him vs Margarito,Pac, Mayweather and Trout all fights he could have won but gassed or did stupid ****.
Chacon-Limon IV. Round 15. Kirk Johnson-Oleg Maskaev. Kirk's a fellow Nova Scotian, so I went ballistic when he put down the favored Russian and then knocked him through the ropes to end things.
Met Johnson 'n had a long conversation with him after one of his bouts in California some years ago, D101. Helluva nice unassuming guy. No airs at all.
Mosley vs Margarito has been mentioned, but i was actually speechless watching that. Vasquez vs Marquez III round 12 - as a Marquez fan, i was screaming for him to hold on and just see out the round without getting dropped. Froch vs Taylor round 12 - Huge Froch fan, went comepletely and utterly beserk during that round and had a near heart attack. Corales vs Castillo, no need for any explanation. I was at Froch vs Bute and it was the best atmosphere you can imagine. Absolutely insane! I've got tickets for Froch vs Kessler II and genuinely think that could top it.
Indeed, nothing compares to that for me. Finding out about the loaded gloves before the fight made it far more satisfying. Unforgettable night.
WARD VS KESSLER: the first round was good from Ward, but i knew that Kessler was going to start slow as he always does... then from the second round on, Ward starts with the cheating tactics. i don't think i've ever been as angry as i was with this fight. the cheating started to get worse by the second. that ref should never be allowed to work ever again. criminal!. BROOK VS JONES: the first six were masterclass boxing from brook. then he starts to gas as well as has his nose broken, and the fog horn at full volume came in to play. i had a sore throat for two days afterwards. it was great to see him come through it though. FROCH VS BUTE: it was just me constantly shouting " GET HIM FROCH. GET HIM. BREAK THAT MOTHER****ER!" to see him doing it like that with him being a big underdog was great.
Audley Vs Sprott This was the 'new and improved' version of audley after he destroyed williams. I had this feeling he was going to get KTFO soon so when Sprott hit him and he fell, i just started screaming 'Hes killed him, hes ****ing killed him, Audley is ****ing dead'
Mayweather vs. Ortiz "What the **** was that!" - directed at Ortiz blantantly headbutting Floyd Tyson vs. Lewis "You ***** ass mutha****a!" directed at Lewis constant bearhugging of Tyson in the beginning of the fight
