"Mugabi VS. Duane Thomas" of '86.... WTF?

I've got it too (as well as just about anything else Rosario had on film) and have only watched it 15-30 times. If you happen to watch it again holler out the exact time and i'll have a look.

 

Rosario - Bramble had nothing to do with Luck tho. Rosario mugged him all thru and it was always going to be him prevailing.

 

I've got some takes too on this one.

Bramble ans Donald Curry followed eerily similar paths with Curry's carrying a bit more quality.

Both came off a solid foundation before laying some really good wins on the table. Bramble showed real class in beating the pressure type Mancini then backing up not long after to beat the streaking fast boxer type in Crawley.

Both wins (well 3) showed fine form and plenty of substance. On the back of this he was 4-1 fave vs Rosario when he never ever should have been. Many mags had somehow found a way to rate him #3 P4P in the world but even without hindsight we should see that two wins over Mancini and a win over Crawley should not have got him that much milage.

For goodness sake Rosario was coming off one of his best ever performances and many thought he pipped Camacho. Whether one agree's or not doesn't matter, the fact is Rosario had found form. Rosario was the hardest 135 puncher in the world, and could well be the biggest banger ever in the division.

Bramble was a deserved fave but 4-1 is ridiculous.

Anyway both Bramble and Curry once beat never again matched their previous performances unfortunately. I think Bramble was a very good fighter going into the Rosario match, but he was a helluva head case.

I love this fight, Rosario and Davis were my two fave lightweights at the time.

 

Not sure why they thought he was falling after the Macho performance. But yes, they were oh so wrong.

Howard was worried about the scoring and went out and consciously attempted to take the last round. He was unlucky as much as anything, Rosario was such a great puncher and the finish was oh so close.

Yeah Davis was gonski by then and was terrible vs Camacho even earlier. McGirt was a fine fighter tho wasn't he.

 

I can't remember her name, seriously lol. I think the draw did get him the shot. Wouldn't be surprised if he did go into Camacho not on song, he looked terrible.

 

It's sure not Terri Hatcher mate and she's very definitely not porn. She's off TV, whether she's Oz or the USA i can't remember.

 

You say that about every female pic you see in here Bill
