Harry Joe Yorgey - the comeback!

And that, ladies and gentlemen (mostly gentlemen, but I'm not sure how gentle), is LOVE!

 

I don't think your guy's problem is his ankle - it's a little higher:

Yea, you pretty much hit what I was feeling dead on.

I understand the fact that a messed up ankle, easily causes the obvious, messed up footwork & distractions etc.

I just got a little annoyed, with that being an excuse that I didn't really want to hear, as I felt Yorgey had a good first round against Angulo, but once he got hit hard in the second went to ****, and his ankle started acting up apparently.

Good Post David.

And for the record, good luck in your comeback Yorgey.

 

That is a great outlook and the perfect formula for a fighter on the comeback trail. Personally, I think Yorgey is a well rounded fighter who does a little of everything well, EXCEPT, he is a nice guy, whereas guys like Angulo are natural born savages who come from a completely different world than one Yorgey knows.

Yorgey does everything well, but nothing spectacular. And while he may have the heart to continue on, he does not have the physical attributes and natural talent to do so, not at a world-class level anyway. In short, I believe he lacks a much needed cut throat mentality and killer instinct. It's not something he can learn, it's something he has always had, or has never had, nor will he ever have.

 

You can never measure another man's pain. Only Yorgey knows whether or not he was fit to fight that night. He made his bed.

And I agreee, despite what I said, Yorgey simply does not have what it takes to fend off Angulo, even at 110% with titanium ankles. It was only a matter of time before Angulo closed the distance and did what he does.

Your frustrations are universal among boxing fans. Understood. And thanks for the kudos.

 

:rofl

 

Yorgey is going to get the snot knocked out of him if he fights anything remotely close to the top of the division. Stick fighting regional competition.

 

I hear what you're saying. And enjoy we will. I commend you on the thread and wish you the best in your journey up a steep road.

For Yorgey's sake, please take any negative comments you've read as constructive criticism, rather than people taking blind shots at the guy and kicking him while he's down. I believe this thread may have had a little of both, assuming you don't think EVERYBODY who replied knows dick about boxing. Hopefully you find more of the former than the latter.

 

Damn! I want to see Angulo back in the ring! He may not have the skills of Money or Sweet Pea but he sure can bang!
