The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Arguellos great i mean GREAT

i love him hes one of my favourites especially his composure and sportsmanship and his inner warrior and his style or anything he does

if you want to see good fights check out Escalara 1 +2, Boza Edwards, Chacon and Limon and Pryor 1 and his KO of Rooney (not wayne Kevin)

but watching Pryor 2 is so sad for me seeing a hero on the floor it breaks my heart (and i wasnt even alive wen this fight happened)

 

Only 3000 fans there aswell.They looked really packed in,the front row looked like they were almost on the apron

 

i just rewatched JMM vs Juan Diaz

Masterful.

at some point even Lampley stfu for about 15 seconds straight (unbelievable i know but its true.)

 

Ward v Gatti 1

That fight leaves you drained just watching them.

 

For Pryor II he was old, out of his weight and fighting a guy who'd already KO'd him. The first fight was his chance against Pryor, he was never going to win the second.

He was a KO machine at 130, he was still a great fighter but had lost a bit at lightweight but 140 was a step too far against someone like Pryor.

 

yeh its crazy

great fight from a fave of mine JMM

them fights are great the 9th round is WOW

yeh LWW was a step too far but i think Alexis was giving Pryor more problems in the early rounds against Pryor in the early rounds of the 2nd one. Alexis at SFW is almost unbeatable.

the first fight with A.A and Pryor is one of my faves what a workrate by both of them for 14 rounds and that 1st round was amazing

 

De La Hoya - Whitaker

The fight really flew by, I enjoy a good tactical battle and this was definetly a boxing match, not a fight as such.

I thought De La Hoya won by a point or two, with Whitaker giving away too many rounds through clowning and inactivity.

The judges insanely wide scores were a joke though.

 

Cotto-Torres.Awesome back and forth action

Berto-Collazo-great fight to kick 2009 off,had a couple of great fights since aswell

Hatton-Lazcano.Exciting fight,Lazcano has heart.Hatton was reckless,no thought behind his boxing and complete absence of head movement

 

Watched Cotto-Mosley, wasn't bad at all.

Scored it 116-113 for Cotto.

 

Benitez - Leonard

Good battle between these two. Dodgy stoppage imo though, not that it would have changed the end result. Great staredowns at the beginning aswell. I don't think i've seen a fight where the fighters have two staredowns in the ring before the fight. Some great boxing on display.

 

Castillo-Mayweather I

- had it 115-111 for Castillo.

 

i had it 115-111 Whittaker

i think i had Mayweather up by 2

 

I had similar maybe even wider.Surprised so many give that to Castillo

 

same here i thought FMj won it pretty clear IMO. i dont often not see how a fight i dont agree with was one for example Hagler Leonard i thought Hagler won but see how Leonard could have got it but this fight i though FMJ won hands down

 

Agreed.I can't even make a case for JLC.Will score it again at some point
