Hey Flea Man, have you ever watched Jiro Watanabe vs Gilberto Roman? I have it on a dvd but haven't seen it and I can't find it.

yeah defo, that would be ****ing brilliant, nice one, I'll watch and score it asap if you could do that. I just can't find it anyhwere, it was part of a great package that Raging B(_)LL sent me like.

 

Aston, I promise that I'll watch it tomorrow evening. I've sorted out my YouTube problem, but it's my last class in college tomorrow so I've had to prepare for that tonight and there's no point in watching it now. Soon as I get back I'll give it a shufty.

Hold me to it.

I'm part way through watching everything available on Ali, thought I'd post about the Jurgen Blin fight as it's the first time I've watched it.

I've not seen Blin before, but by God does he box like a caveman. It seemed he could only move forward in straight lines, like he was on rails, really no match for Ali. Blin kept looking for the left hook, swing wildly and off balance with it for the majority of the fight, then also with the right forearm and elbow once Ali tied him up.

Stating the obvious, but as always Ali showed magnificent balance and footwork, even while under pressure from this mentalist charging at him. Ali made his man look silly.

The right that finished it looked truly conclusive, Blin tried to get to his feet for 10 but had no chance. One of those knockdowns where you can see the mind his willing the body to get up, but it just ain't't happening.
