Yes. I was disappointed with this one. After I watched it for the first time,I had to pull out a vid of their their first fight. talk about the sublime to the ridiculous. :think
Kevin Kelley-Bones Adams is not that well known but it sucked,especially when you consider both (Kelley in particular) could put on great fights but just not against each other.
Klitschko/Ibragimov people tend to forget about this one. people saying froch dirrel etc.. this fight was a sad PPV. Wlad was being a ***** and Ibragimov was there for a paycheck and retire. People saying Vitali/Johnson Vit still landing over 250 punches little baby slaps but still. nohting is worst than Klitschko/Ibragimov nothing
Hugo Corro-Vito Antuofermo...It was frustrating to watch the defending champ Corro virtually stop fighting from the 10th round on. I've never found out what was his problem...he wasn't seriously hurt or for that matter hurt at all..in fact I don't think there were a handful of solid punches landed by either man throughout the fight.. Corro started off well, winning the first 4 or 5 rounds, but that even was hard to be sure of..Corro's super cautious, negative type style and Vito's garbage slinging, grappling, mauling style just made for a very bad fight...but this was for the middleweight title...one of the most glamorous titles in the history of boxing, and it was what...the only undisputed title in boxing at the time?
I always mention it, but Julius Francis vs Roman Greenberg. An overweight Francis did the same thing for all 10 (or was it 100? Felt like 100...) rounds. Shuffle forward an inch, stop, shuffle another inch, stop, throw a wide half-speed hook, shuffled backwards an inch, stop, shuffle forwards an inch, repeat. Greenberg for his part could run rings around the near immobile Francis and, instead of fighting, decides he'd rather do that instead. He lets his hands go in furious combinations of ones, winning rounds with about six punches thrown and keeping out of the way in hopes that a cardiac arrest will do Francis in first. Horrible fight. Made Michael Moorer vs Bonecrusher Smith look like Hagler-Hearns. It was like watching an exceptionally lazy wasp try to sting an elephant to death.
this has been rehashed before but ill give my one definite answer when this comes up chris byrd vs davaryll williamson - what pissed me off about this fight is that i was very high on williamson and i was looking forward for him doing his best to win the ibf heavyweight title...instead he goes and blows his only title shot by doing next to nothing...and champ byrd (who he was good friends with) follows suit...so bad that the ref had to threaten both fighters to fight in the mid rounds..the only good thing that came of this was james toney's comments about this fight along with choice insults for chris byrd and his wife which were classic...but seriously **** this fight
Yaa. Johnson looked like a Blue Whale in there, but at least vitali disposed of him in dominating fashion. VK vs Sosnowski was soo bad. One fighter was a hapless bum with nothing but a fighting heart, and the other was a slow old arm punching champion doing very little for 10 rounds, then finally deciding to throw a right hand and knock him out in round 10. He could have spared us 10 rounds of misery had he done that in round 1.
Can't believe we haven't mentioned Skelton-Sprott And Harrison-Wiliams I (can't believe I sat through every second of that crapfest)
