So I was wondering what classic fights involved both boxers being totally aware of the others weapons, and therefore not much action ensued. Not just a boring fight with constant holding, but where the fighters are basically circling each other waiting for an opening that hardly ever appears. Thanks for any suggestions ESB
maybe I should've changed the title of the thread to "Hurry up and hit him already!" There is action in chess matches, I was wondering about fights where each fighter neutralized each others attack plans for most of the fight.
Me too, Leonard´s best performance in my opinion.....Great shout JMM vs Casamayor Whitaker vs McGirt I Hopkins vs Trinidad Max Schmeling vs Joe Louis I
That's a great call. 2 very skilled fighters with excellent reflexes. So many punches missed by centimeters.
If you're into fights where absolutely nothing happens then Carlos "Sugar" De Leon vs Johnny "The Entertainer" Nelson is the one for you! Nelson should've just taken his Herol Graham impersonation a step further and shoulder-tossed De Leon a few times if he wasn't planning on throwing any punches.
Yes, one sided fight, but close in the early rounds to me.....But I picked that because Bernard´s ring intelligence, impressive demonstration of his ability to play "chess".......in my opinion....
