Gaspar Ortega vs Carlos Palomino

Yellow, the poetry of battle is that nothing is guaranteed enter flow, enter.... the Chaos

 

Great thought rough, an EX-member of Bronsonville. As you say guaranteed excitement. I say early carnage by Ortega, even through the middle rounds, and a blazing finale by Palomino, but Ortega lasts. Palomino by a close decision.

 

I think you're right, it could go to Ortega merely on the basis that he was the flashier boxer and much more popular in his own time.

You betrayed your class when you changed profile pics.

 

Just don't use the same old "Magnificent Seven" picture you always use. You need some variety.

Definitely, probably 8 of the 10 rounds would be great ones (provided it's a 10-rounder). I think Gaspar is underrated now, but probably one of the most popular fighters of the late 50s & early 60s.

 

Well, I see sir.

I think the fight is not as close going 15 rounds. After all, Ortega never completed 15 rounds and Palomino went 12-15 rounds several times. I think a 15-rounder Palomino would win at least 9-6.

 

Palomino was a very underrated boxer. He beat several good fighters, justifying his vie for the title and then held it with what, six or seven title defenses against top challengers? He was a well-composed boxer possessing pretty good durability yet was still able to go wild in a war.

 

I like Ortega in a tight decision. Good fight though.

 

The man arrives.
