Bonavena vs Ali who was winning going into the 15th?

Bundini hollering "Fight like Sugar Ray".

 

He insults everybody he gets in a debate with (and inevitably loses said debate because he dbsak) then wonders why everyone on this forum takes issue with him. Maturity level of a child. I wouldn't take anything he says to seriously.

 

That fifteenth round was incredible.

 

I acknowledged Ali not stepping back - but, for all intents and purposes Oscar was done after the first KD - Ringo barely scraped up after the first KD - his arms were down by his sides - the ref actually grabbed him by the gloves, to shake off resin I assume, as he did so, Oscar stumbled backward - in other times and players that fight could’ve been stopped right there - after the 3rd KD there was still 57 secs to go - it was already at the point where Ali could’ve gently blown and Oscar would’ve fallen.

 

Yeah, I heard that reviewing the last round - SRR would’ve been proud of the on cue left hook -

 

I had a poster once tell me that I knew f*ck NOTHING about boxing. The audacity. Why, you little…..

After a deep breath, in witty retort, I replied and told him that he was wrong and that in fact I knew f*ck ALL about boxing.

Wait, hang on, that didn’t come out right…..

Bundini was in Sugar Ray's camp before he was in Ali's.

 

I think all combatants on this thread can find common ground in agreeing that I know nothing about boxing.

In fact, I seem to have taken a wrong turn that got me here. I was looking for a science fiction forum...

 

Nah, you know your stuff as much as anyone CT, keep it coming.

I took a wrong turn last week - walked straight into an intense discussion on self flagellation, Cat O’ Nine Tails, all that sort of thing.

No idea on the subject but thought I’d wing it anyway. I mentioned DEVO and they just ignored me. They soon realised that I was clearly out of my depth - they had me whipped so to speak (groan).

Up until the 15th round, my score total was 8-4-2 Ali

Bonavena had some great success in the middle rounds, arguably had some more rounds in there, gave a great effort, but overall Ali was going to be the victor on my card regardless of the 3 knockdown rule.

I actually found this fight quite enjoyable (might also be because I am watching this at 3 am), sometimes seeing Ali not look so dominate is great entertainment, Ali won more rounds but it was very competitive in some. Great watch!

 

Logic isn't your forte. The great Sugar Ray Robinson lost nineteen times.
