Jones trained behind my back garden for that fight Jones was past in then - on the downward slide he was not living the life anymore Curry was a superior techincal fighter to Jones no question But the longer the fight goes on Jones comes more into his own If the fight had gone past the fourth there was a growing chance Curry would have walked onto something tasty - and he would have been Knocked out with that glass chin of his
As promised... Part One [YT]joUKdR8mjhQ[/YT] Part Two [YT]39HrtumpPKY[/YT] Buddy shows some pretty good speed here, but man, check out the heart on Frankie Warren. Guy was a little beast. Poor man's Henry Armstrong (very poor, but still a good fighter).
Outwith the McCrory fight I like the Jones fight the best because it lasts longer. Probably Curry's best showing IMO.
As well, i actually have a lot of time for his second win over Starling. Starling was right on top of his game and Curry won a competitive but solid decision win. I rate Starling very highly.
Yeah, Starling Curry 2 is a top-notch Welterweight fight, Compare it to thuddingly flat-footed "you punch..then i punch" hackwork like quartey vs Oscar and it's really quite comical.
I have the ESPN superbouts version. Watched some the early rounds earlier this week. Very competitive and great defensive covering up by both fighters. Jones was a very good welterweight, probably on the Sibson level for Hagler.
