    :lol: Yeah, Moore knew he was ****ed early on. Credit to him for trying to man it out though, eh?

    Me too!!! Loved that, Duran showed what a fighting man he was that night. And then experienced a similar resurgance years later with the Barkley win. These are two important wins for him IMO, that showed regardless of weight, Duran was just harder than most men:deal

    Duran is one of the truly complete fighters and freakish fighting forces that our sport has ever seen.

    Froch was getting back into the fight as opposed to be being outboxed like he had been for the first 6 or so rounds.

    I will back down a little on my argument because Taylor gassing in the last few rounds played its part in the KO as well.

    I still see Froch as more than just an accumulation puncher. He has good power in that right hand. Maybe it isn't a one punch KO weapon but like I said a few times already I never said it was.

    Only matey I could think who looks a bit like him is Gael Garcia Bernal.

    Any idea who's starring/directing?

    Nope. Instinctive fighting ability, unreal levels of accuracy, and yet the ability to be slick and see punches coming like most primarily offensive fighters can only dream of.

    Duran. Had. Everything.

    Bernal is playing Duran and Pacino is playing Arcel (I think!).

    Froch is the epitome of accumulation to me because he's heavy handed and not explosive. Look at all the one punch KO punchers. Theres only one exception I can think of at the moment, and that is because he's ****ing massive as well, but most KO artists have explosive quality in their punching. It's vital to ensuring a foe can't prepare by tensing themselves for a blow, and scientifically speed is very important in the overall equation for power. Froch has no speed in his punching to be honest.
