Yuh was amazing make sure you watch both fights with Demarco specially the first one who i have in my top 100 , the second is pretty good too just not as good as the first but also worth a watch.

This is ACTUALLY that... I don't know anything Demarco aside from a cersery Boxrec. This kid was game as ****. He went straight at Yuh; bobbing, weaving and throwing all but the kitchen sink. Yuh was just adaptive and frequent. He threw whatever worked to get around Demarco's guard and at such a high pace, it worked. His defence was still sublime, but obviously an offensive based fighter is gonna get hit a lot. Wasn't hard to score, since I wasn't really bothered about the card. Moreso the action that was happening. Courtesy of Mr. Hank. Seriously. Everyone should see this. It's 45 minutes of straight war. _______________________ Rd.

This content is protected 1975-05-24, This content is protected Fly Title Jay Edson 147-144 Rafael Cartaya 144-145 Jose Juan Guerra 149-146 _______________________ I once said this was a bull**** SD. No way was it that close. To which I agree, last time I had it 148-137 for Canto, this time I had it exactly the same... And the, again, rounds which González won were close enough to go either way imo, and pondered giving them to Canto. Betulio really got outclassed here. Back then, he was a pressure fighter more than a countering guy and he'd already beat Canto(which I'd love to see film of), however Miguel showed he'd improved since the first fight fight and shut him down. Aside from scarcely landing a left hook, he didn't do much aside from unsuccessfully crowd Canto. Canto was firing on all cylinders here, when González had an opening, Canto'd turn the angle and move. Whenever González got complacent on defence, Canto'd snap a sharp left hook in his face. When González tried to turn it up, Canto jabbed, stayed calm and acted the matador. My favourite part though was watching Canto fight on the inside with González, he made it look easy. His guard and reflexes shot Betulio down whilst letting him mix his left hooks upstairs and down, and work an exquisite, short right uppercut. Masterful job from El Maestro. _______________________ Rd.

This content is protected 1969-12-12, Non Title Fight _______________________ Two brawlers? In a tiny ring? Yeah, of course this was an amazing fight. I'm really warming to Jerry, and I always liked George, so this was a really fun one for me. Quarry, the classier boxer, came out looking to move and counter; box. He tried. He didn't succeed. Chuvalo dragged him into a brawl, and a damn good one! Chuvalo's superior workrate and whiskers are what took this. Y'know what they say; "in a brawl, pick the guy with the better chin". Prime example of the old. cliché. _______________________ Rd. GC : JQ 1. 9 : 10 2. 10 : 9 3. 10 : 9 (29-28) 4. 9 : 10 5. 10 : 9 6. 10 : 10 ( This content is protected ) This content is protected
I'll definitely have to check it out. But today I decided I just wanted to look at a rock-em-sock-em bout and I elected on the bout between Rockin' Robin Blake and Tony 'The Tiger' Baltazar. This is the kind of fight you want to just sit back and enjoy...but of course I ended up scoring it as well. Every punch had mayhem written all over it. Round 1: 10-9 Blake Round 2: 10-9 Blake Round 3: 10-9 Baltazar Round 4: 10-9 Blake Round 5: 10-9 Blake Round 6: 10-9 Blake Round 7: 10-9 Baltazar (Great round) Round 8: 10-8 Blake (scores a knockdown and the ref disallows a KD scored by Baltazar - great round) Round 9: Blake drops Tony twice and fight is stopped Total (through 8 completed rounds): 78-73 Blake Tony is constantly trying to nail Blake with his signature left hook but around the 7th I noticed him starting to use his lead right - the punch to use against a southpaw - and connecting. He should have started that earlier. The severe cut he picked up early in the fight (it was so bad he was bleeding again before leaving his corner) just drained him. And against Blake's rapid combos something had to give. Great fight. I should also mention that the KD disallowed by the ref was BS. That was as legitimate a KD as you will see.

Even so, Stander was not an opponent to look that hittable against. He didn't even look that bad. He looked like an aging fighter, who was overweight... Which is exactly what he was. Made for a fun fight, though. _______________________ Rd. JF : RS 1. 10 : 9 2. 10 : 9 3. 10 : 9 4. 10 : 9 ( This content is protected ) This content is protected

Alan Minter SD15 Vito Antuofermo For starters, I thought they got the wrong winner. It was a close fight, somewhat hard to score, but here's how I had it: 1. Minter 2. Minter 3. Minter 4. Minter 5. Vito 6. Vito 7. Vito 8. Even 9. Vito 10. Minter 11. Vito 12. Vito 13. Minter 14. Vito (10-8, push/knockdown that you had to count) 15. Minter Using the 10-point must system, 143-142 Antuofermo for me. Of note was just how much Vito made Minter miss. Minter had success with his jab but either fell short with his left cross (southpaw) or later had it sail over the top of Vito's head. Vito did what Vito always did, start slowly and bring the ugly as the rounds progressed. I thought it worked enough to get him the decision, though only barely. It's hard to come up with an effective fight plan against a guy like Vito, who throws punches like a swimmer doing a dog-paddle. He's almost offensive to watch he's so artless, but I like him. He makes ugly work, and he's so awkward and so unpredictable that his attack is almost impossible to time and react to in the moment, so you find yourself getting dragged down to his level to a large degree. Even Hagler suffered this fate in their first fight, though he seemed to do a bit better than Minter overall and yet Minter gets the nod where he didn't. Doesn't seem at all fair, but that's boxing.
Sal, we're pretty close on this one. This is how I had it at last viewing and what I wrote: Vito Antuofermo v Alan Minter I Round 1: 10-9 Minter Round 2: 10-9 Minter Round 3: 10-9 Minter Round 4: 10-9 Minter Round 5: 10-9 Vito Round 6: 10-9 Vito Round 7: 10-10 Even Round 8: 10-9 Vito Round 9: 10-9 Minter Round 10: 10-9 Vito Round 11: 10-9 Vito Round 12: 10-9 Vito Round 13: 10-10 Even Round 14: 10-8 Vito (disagreed with the knockdown but the ref counted it) Round 15: 10-9 Vito Total: 145-141 Antuofermo Antuofermo's style can be unappetizing at best. A crowding/mugging style that is lacking in finesse, but nonetheless effective. I felt his mugging style and explosive punches negated Minter's effective jab. The knockdown was dubious. Minter looked like he may have tangled his legs when that punch/push came in. Hard to say. But I do think Antuofermo got robbed here.
