Romeo Anaya vs Enrique Pinder II - 1973-08-18 - WBA World Bantamweight Title

I was busy working down in my fish room for the last few hours and haven't even had the chance to look at the classic front page... how bad is it right now BC? Give it to me honest...

 

Haha!
Well, on the bright side, the biggest contributor to the garbage has been booted ( again ), no idea what for but we still have others posting what can only be described as thread of the decade candidates,lol.

 

I don't even want to look to be honest. I've got this sole window open and I'm biting my nails thinking about some boxing bets I've already made for this weekend. Sigh.

 

Some posters on here can be a pleasure to read, with their knowledge and detailed breakdown of various fantasy matches.
Then on the flip side we get the daily influx of awful grammar & punctuation with the simple question, " 12 rounds,who wins "?
Why, for no other reason than to gain attention.
Sad state of affairs buddy.

 

There's a strong duality. The good is great but man, the bad is indeed pretty bad.

It'll come around and swing more in the favor of "good" in coming time. I think it's going in the right direction, that's the direction I legitimately feel lately.

General on the other hand....

 

So what kind of power tier would this put Anaya among? The very best raw punchers that ever operated at the bantamweight limit? He did turn the trick, twice, against a fighter that seemingly had been thoroughly tested at the highest level by some of the best in the world... and yet he showed fantastical power that was seemingly higher than his respective hard puncher contemporaries...

 

Olivares needed the Jr. Featherwt. division to be in existence when he moved up from Bantam.
He would have set the original Jr. FW standard, now credited to W. Gomez.

 

Anaya was a tremendous puncher.

 

Shame @Russell doesn't post here anymore.

 

Yes...I miss him.

 

We need all the quality posters we can get. Unfortunately, idiots who belong on the general forum are slowly starting to overrun this place.

 

I do recall this match, Romeo Anaya did pack quite a punch. Enrique Pinder was a very good boxer. When Anaya lost his title to Arnold Taylor, it was a surprise, especially all those knockdowns.

 

Amen, you can say that again, too many youngsters.

 

With all due respect, I don't know if it's the age that's the issue, Richard.
