Pulling straight back right after punching won't help him either as he advances in competition level.
I like this kid.. so relaxed in the ring, solid defense, good speed.. needs to work a little on footwork.. but he could go far.
Boom! Like Wilder in the earlier bout, he ended it with a killer, straight right hand. It's beautiful that he did it right after Atlas was droning on about his illusory power. He may have something of a point, but the timing was wonderful nonetheless.
wow. the teddy atlas curse has immediate effects. as soon as he opened his mouth to talk about jacobs lack of power, boom. he needs to channel his strange ability to be wrong consistently into something useful.
'Hello Chewy, welcome to the fight' I hate to be negative once again in this thread, but Alexander doesn't impress me at all. I think Bradley will make short work of him if he keeps his WBC belt.
I'd appreciate it if he would say that I won't ever win Nationals, the Mets won't recover this year, and the Redskins will be terrible next year.
I just don't understand Rafael's logic here: Pacquiao might be overrated because he beat a rather depleted De la Hoya, but because a strong majority expected De la Hoya to win the fight he therefore is not. The prefight expectations are irrelevant as long as we conclude that he beat a substandard De la Hoya (I'm not saying that's the case, but it was presupposed here).
i'm telling you, the guy has a future in this. no ones gonna buy the teddy atlas punching bag, but im sure his bad predictions by this point should start to sway the sports book odds. by the way, he picked hatton.
