Freddie Steele KD'ing Lesnevich

Now this is a thread.
Awesome clip. Never get tired of Steele footage

 

Reminds me a bit of Tyson. I'm sure i've seen him throwing leaping left hooks too, decades before the likes of Roy Jones.

 

What impresses me is the dynamic range of his shoulder snap punching.

He was able to get proper leverage and mechanics after missing and being out of position. Shows he can throw bombs at various ranges. Dynamic power.

 

Great clip again.
The power in that short chopping right hand is crazy. Sort of Mclellan like.

 

Steele's one of my favorite boxer punchers. I'm glad he gets credit from hardcore fans now after flying under the radar for too long. He's a fighter that "pops" on film as a special talent.

Still holding out hope that there's footage of Steele-Overlin out there....

 

Freddie Steele 123-5-11, with 3 losses coming late in Steele's career.

The Mid-30's (& mid-40's) MW & small Lightheavies fighters, always in great shape bad-basses, and would take on anybody. Would have no problem taking on the so-called all-time great MW's ranked by "today's so-called experts".....I wouldn't be surprised at seeing a lot of upsets going the old-timers way.

 

Throws the left hook like Tyson and Jones with Tyson's bad intentions.....jabs and rights over the top, killer instinct, sense of distance and cool assassins control like Monzon one of the middleweight fighters who impresses me most and is in my top 5 if not top 3 and only 5 losses in over 100 fights 3 at the end he had beautiful ring generalship.

 

Never knew much about him until recently. He looks great on film and I wish he was around today. A guy like him would shake up the MW division.

 

Really spectacular, wasn't he? He's one of the most exciting fighters I've ever seen...and most lethal.

 

He ended up basically southpaw after throwing so he simply throws a powerhouse left hook. I've definitely seen Tyson do the exact same thing to great affect as well.

 

Nice thread. Freddie was some fighter, I'd give him a fine shot at defeating any middleweight ever.

 

He could really sock couldn't he!
