This Han guy....

Just watched that fight on ESPN2 FNF...

The guy wasn't very good, but I have to say he seems to have mastered the art of looking like you are winning a fight when you really are inferior to your opponent.

He seemed to make a lot of flailing punches that had absolutely nothing on them land on Sergio. He seemed to almost aim at his chest and his shoulders for most of the time. Also with Sergio falling all over the place all night, chances were his glove would eventually be on his shoulder/chest on one of those trips. Han actually had decent output and came forward, his speed wasn't actually bad, but this was mainly because he was just flailing his hands in an awkward way.

It's sad to think this guy almost won the USBA title. I mean not that its prestigious or anything, but c'mon that was pitiful.

The problem I'm having is I can't in my right mind actually score it one sided for Sergio. I mean the guy did nothing, he had low output and was putting on a snorefest. He would land decent shots one or two at a time at most, landing the only true clean head shots during a round....

I really think the best way to deal with a guy like Han is to do it like Sergio did, but I think if he had ANY pop what-so-ever (30% ko ratio) this China man Han would have been a CHINA SET on the canvas.

Just was a frustrating fight to watch. I scored it 115 - 112 sergio.

I don't even like the guy, just kinda mad that Han almost won with his **** boxing. I never thought of it much, but if you really didn't have a chance in hell of legit winning the fight, and you flailed like Han and aimed at the chest ( a part of the body boxers aren't used to being punched on) you might be able to fool some judges into giving you rounds.

 

I think he wasn't able to do this against Tapia because he had decent power.

 

I honestly think maybe the reason those hooks landed is because he didn't turn them over. Many boxers read opponents by looking at their shoulders to see how they move/turn to tell what punch is coming. Han threw his punches w/ such poor technique when he was flailing that I don't think sergio could see them as easy.

Had he turned those hooks over Sergio would be used to seeing a punch thrown like that and he would have dodged them. When Han tried to load up it seemed like Sergio had no problemo dodging those shots.
