My Dvds have arrived.

Gotta hook me up with one of them fister Dvd sets.

God, I've got tears in my eyes from laughing. Again.

 

Hahahaha, glad the classic is bringing laughs, you got the giggles Shake? Haha

 

I'm sure he'll sort you out mate :good

 

I've waited two months for the sets I spoke about earlierI can understand your frustration.

The Napoles one is a real gem; some quality fights on there to add to the ones I already have. He even looks sensational in the Monzon fight, whilst it lasts.

 

First thing I really liked about him was his defence; Left/right hands alternate to the appropriate part on his head and he can counter with his free hand to either head/body. Like it.

Really like it when he digs into the body, and Yuh really digs it in, making the most of his strength. As you have said, he's not a 'puncher' by any means, but a spiteful, accurate and hurtful one IMO:good

 

I really like the way he takes the shots on his gloves. As I say, the way he quickly moved his hands up/down his head to pick off shots really impressed me; he has a good defensive radar, even if he is at times hittable.

As has already been pointed out, he does a lot of things well but not everything perfectly. He does just enough not to make himself deficient in any areas. A real workmanlike attitude to his work:good

 

Think I've got about..........hmmmmm.........6(?) Yuh fights. Not sure if that's one of them.

Might have to get onto RB about getting some more. Got some Giardello (of RBs choice), Gavilan (full Turner fight) and Louis (to complete my collection) on the way. And obviously my Fisting DVDs to watch

One thing I've noticed about Foster is that he doesn't seem to take shots well. Almost seems to freeze, and not just at Heavy.

Lucky he had the timing, accuracy and phenomenal punching power to get his opponents out of there. So phenomenal in fact that I wouldn't even favour Ezzard Charles to beat him 100% (though I feel he'd have the best chance, or maybe Spinks, whose awkwardness, size and own power would cause Foster problems)

 

No you wouldn't. Foster is one of the most fearsome 'stalkers' I've ever seen, always punctuated by his brilliant and consistant jab. Patient, yes. And he doesn't waste much at all. When he throws his shots, they either miss by a whisker or leave you flat on your back.

I've been a fan of his for while, watching everything I've got now to get a full gauge of his strengths(which I know) and weaknesses (which are becoming more apparent as I watch)

He's just an absolute Monster though; He vs Spinks would be a fantastic fight with a chilling ending either way IMO.

 

Anyone wants to do a trade?
