Zarate-Pintor
Sanchez-Nelson
Famechon-Harada 2
Arguello-Limon
Chucho Castillo-Ernie de la Cruz.

 

Loved watching both of those, for different reasons. Limon was one of those guys who was so awkward, that it looks like he's getting the bejesus knocked out of him, but you don't seem to notice the damage he's doing to the other guy. He put up surprisingly strong resistance against Arguello I thought.

And Nelson was amazing against Sanchez. Great fight. What a pity there was never a rematch.

 

I was thinking the same thing while watching. That was a great challenge by a pretty green Nelson. Imagine a rematch 18 months later or so. A real tough guy Limon. I would imagine he was pretty awkward to handle in the ring.

 

Patterson-Quarry II. Just got finished watching first fight and it was really good.

 

The Khaokor Galaxy- Sun Kil Moon fights are well worth watching, especially the second one.

 

TF vs W Klitschko (better than a sleeping pil )

 

I'm watching Terry Norris's career.

Norris vs Brown I was totally bizarre. Norris looks like a million dollars offensively yet gets rocked in the last 10 seconds of every round before getting blasted out. Did Norris ever provide a reason for his performance in that bout? Norris dusted himself off and looks completely healed in the rematch. Its strange for a fighter to look completely chinny and shot yet dust themselves off and continue a dominant career like nothing happened.

I also have some of Donald Curry's biggest fights to watch (Starling, McClallum, McCrory, Honeyghan). My initial intention was to criticize posters on this forum who continually portray his 147 run as SRR stuff. I have actually changed my mind. Curry's balance and accuracy are great to watch and learn from. He is very tactical and is able to punch and exploit the smallest weakness. A heck of a fighter. Plus the fighters Curry fought are also very talented.

 

Sometimes a guy had it all for a few years and seems to be legitimately great but then losses it. It happens in other sports to; it doesn't mean those guys weren't great it just means that they weren't as great.

 

Did you agree with the decision?

 

How did you score Zarate-Pintor?

 

First fight I thought Patterson won pretty easily. Great fight. Only thru 5 rounds of rematch so I don't know about that one yet. Just got Floyd's career collection and I gotta say, it is pretty good
