Pretty self explanatory. Which fights feature either your favorite fighter laying down a severe ass beating or a fighter you don't like on the receiving end of an ass beating? In recent memory: MAB over Naseem Hamed. Just great watching that beatdown. Mosley over Margocheato. I was already rooting for the local guy. Hearing the plaster debacle just made it so much sweeter. Tarver over Jones. Was never a big fan of Roy Jones The Mouth. Had a guy at work, real front runner (Yankees, Miami Football, Duke basketball, etc) who talked a lot of trash, loved Roy and had the fight party. The look on his face was classic. Yours?
those are the exact same 3 i thought of before i opened the thread:deal At number 1 I got SSM V Margocheato by a mile
Lewis/Klitschko- How a 37 year old undetrained, fat, overweight, unmotivated, took the match on 2 weeks notice, came off a long layoff Lennox Lewis was able to beat Vitali up so bad they had to stop the match at the end of round 6. Note: Vitali was in his prime Mosley/Cheato
Despite having no action, it was satisfying seeing David Haye falling and rolling to the ground every round against Wladimir. For a less publicized non mega fight, I liked Paul Williams vs. Nobuhiro Ishida. Paul Malignaggi kicking Juan Diaz's ass twice was enjoyable too.
In reality, though, Lennox had been training for another fight while Vitali took the fight on 2 weeks' notice.
i didnt like chisoras attitude, so i liked when haye knocked him down twice. Another one vitali v briggs, i didnt like briggs attitude and antics at the time, so vitali gave him a severe beating, at the time it was good to watch. since reviewing this fight, i think it should have been stopped and i wouldnt like anyone getting such a beating.
Wrong. [url]http://www.upi.com/Sports_News/2003/07/02/Lewis-Klitschko-rematch-likely/UPI-56351057172892/[/url] Vitali had already been training for a Lewis fight months in advanced. They paid off Lewis's opponent. Lewis beat the living **** out of Vitali.
Mosley / Margarito Delahoya / Vargas And this one may bother some people, but I think Mayweather / Gatti is up there also. Not because i think Gatti deserved a beating, like the two others I listed did. But this was pretty much the best "wake the **** up" to alot of casual boxing fans who had been led to believe that Gatti and Floyd were on the same level. And also, I became of huge fan of Gatti because the way he fought and was able to take beatings, so watching him take one more wasn't so bad to me. But this really showed the disparity in skill and talent between the true elite level of this sport, and the next step down.
