He’d hurt Louis in the previous round and his post fight quote of “what’s the point of being Irish if you can’t be stupid” seems to indicate he went for broke.
That's nice. Footage indicates that he was dragging his one foot after the other and was getting trapped into corners and getting combo'd. He finally decides to launch an all out assault against Louis, Louis survives and then intercepts Conn's one-two with a cross between the one two and Conn becomes seriously hurt. He goes up close to nullify Joe's attack but Louis moves back and nails him with several flush uppercuts that snap Billy's head back. Louis then sets him up for a 4 hit combo which puts Billy down for a full count. He said, she said they said blah blah blah, Billy only went for a knockout after escape was evidently impossible. Louis had 3 whole rounds to finish a tired Conn and it would've happened at any point before the end no matter what Conn did.
Jared Anderson taking the Bakole fight this early in his career and on top of that going blow for blow with him. He really impressed me in his losing effort.
I felt like It could be either, Leonard wanted to prove he had balls,or he got rocked so hard he forgot he had a feet.
Duran not throwing ye uppercut vs Hagler more often,when he did use it he was able to actually give Hagler some cuts.
It seemed to surprise even Tyson, he wasn’t doing good with any opening he made but he definitely caught MT off guard for moment, I figure he was hoping Tyson wouldn’t get into the fight and he might, might, MIGHT be able to hurt him whatever he was thinking it was genuinely bad @ss to put it on the line and say **** it insanely outmatched or not, win or lose everyone respects the kind of gentleman who does his genuine best.
Pacquaio fighting Marquez for the fourth time. He had nothing to gain from it. He should have realized that if you continually fight a master counter fighter like Marquez, sooner or later he's going to catch you walking onto a lights out shot. But that fearless confidence is part of the reason we love Pacquaio. He wasn't afraid of anybody and more often than not, he rose up to conquer the challenges he faced.
Inoue last opponent b4 gettin KO lmao Whitaker with da' clownin' only to get knocked down and, in sum cases, straight losin' fights.
