    I saw Opetaia being rocked in round 7 last night and looked like a bum. Benavidez blows him into bits.

    For what it's worth. Masagyo probably deserved to eat like one of those spurious knockdowns, just for how consistently he deployed the premeditated "collapse" on the inside. Wouldn't have changed anything though.

    Glad the circus show of Benns career can mostly be put to rest now. Fighting a weight drained average fighter was never enough to put him on world level.

    there was a reason everyone was screaming to fight him and it was because he was easy money. Turki’s latest obsession that would be an easy nights work for anyone that can compete world level.

    Wlad's Chart Grok Analyzed.
    This fighter’s temperament starts with a ram’s initiative and then turns sideways, slippery, and territorial. The Aries Sun wants the fight to begin; the rest of the chart decides how it is actually fought.

    Sun in Aries
    The core drive is to go first. This boxer looks for the opening, steps in, and treats the ring as a contest to be seized rather than waited out. Pride, impatience, and a need to impose will are strong. They do not like feeling second or being made to chase for long. The natural posture is forward.

    Moon in Aquarius
    Emotion stays relatively cool and detached. Personal insults or crowd noise do not hook them the way they would a water-Moon fighter. They can stay mentally above the chaos, fight for their own strange rhythm, and switch tactics without getting sentimental. The Moon here keeps the Aries heat from becoming purely reckless; there is an observer quality even while they are throwing.

    Mercury and Venus in Pisces
    Thought and style dissolve rather than stab. Combinations and footwork are not linear. They change tempo, feint in ways that look almost accidental, and make opponents miss by sliding off-line instead of meeting force with force. The “how” of the fight is watery and hard to read: one moment they look committed, the next they are gone. Venus in Pisces also means they can fight with a kind of aesthetic or feel rather than raw ugliness—until the Cancer Mars takes over.

    Mars in Cancer
    Once the fight is real, the aggression becomes protective and pinching rather than charging. Cancer Mars does not stay in a long-range Aries shootout. It closes, holds, hooks on the inside, and makes the opponent pay for entering their space. Output rises when they feel crowded, hurt, or that something is being taken from them. The style then turns clingy, smothering, and emotionally charged even if the Moon itself stays cool.

    Combined ring temperament
    • Walks forward first (Aries Sun).
    • Stays mentally unhooked and a little unconventional (Aquarius Moon).
    • Moves and thinks in slippery, changing lines (Pisces Mercury/Venus).
    • Turns the actual exchanges into inside, territorial work once contact is made (Cancer Mars).
    The result is an initiator who does not stay a pure slugging ram. They start the action, then become hard to time, then try to make the fight ugly and close when they get in. Confidence comes from being first; effectiveness comes from disappearing and then grabbing. Mood in the ring is less stormy than a Cancer Moon would be, but the physical fight still has that crab quality: approach, absorb or slip, then pinch and not let go.




    GGG's Chart Grok Analyzed.
    This fighter’s temperament is a ram’s mind and identity wrapped around a Libra engine. They want to start the fight and think in straight lines, but they actually fight for balance, timing, and the clean shot rather than chaos.

    Sun and Mercury in Aries
    The surface is impatient and initiating. They look for the first meaningful punch, dislike waiting, and process the ring in short, direct bursts. Pride is involved: they do not want to be second or made to follow. Mentally they are quick to decide and quick to act on the decision. The attitude is “I go first.”

    Moon and Mars in Libra
    The real fighting temperament lives here, and it pulls the other way. Mars in Libra is the warrior who wants the exchange to have form. Aggression is measured, often delayed, and aimed at restoring equilibrium rather than destroying it. They fight best when the rhythm feels fair or when they can land the shot that looks right. Closing the distance and making it ugly does not come naturally; they prefer range, angles, and the counter that settles the argument.The Libra Moon keeps them aware of the opponent as a partner in the dance. They can be thrown off by a fight that feels too one-sided or too crude. Emotional fuel is more “this should be even / this should look good” than raw territorial rage. When they do commit, the output is often stylish and precise rather than smothering.

    Venus in Pisces
    Desire and aesthetics dissolve rather than sharpen. They can fight with feel and illusion—changing the look of an attack, making a punch seem to come from nowhere, or losing interest if the contest becomes only grinding. This placement softens the Aries edge and adds a layer of slipperiness to how they want the fight to appear.

    Combined ring temperament
    • Mentally and ego-wise they want to initiate (Aries Sun/Mercury).
    • Physically and emotionally they wait for the balanced moment and the clean reply (Libra Moon/Mars).
    • Style and values lean toward fluidity and the beautiful shot rather than attrition (Pisces Venus).
    The result is an aggressive starter who often becomes a counter-puncher or a technical boxer once the fight is underway. They can look eager at the opening bell and then strangely composed, choosing quality over volume. Killer instinct is not automatic; it appears when the fight feels like a contest of poise or when someone has broken the unspoken sense of fairness. They are more dangerous when the opponent overcommits than when they themselves try to force a brawl.

    The Monster's Chart Grok Analyzed.


    This fighter’s temperament is a restless ram who thinks in fog and fights like a crab. They want the adventure and the first move, then turn the actual work into close, protective exchanges.

    Sun in Aries
    The identity is to start. They step in, look for the first real punch, and treat hesitation as a kind of loss. Pride and impatience sit at the center. They would rather impose the fight than spend long stretches reacting.

    Moon in Sagittarius
    Emotion is expansive, optimistic, and a little reckless. They do not brood. Pain and difficulty are framed as part of a larger contest or journey rather than a personal wound. This Moon keeps them moving, willing to take the next risk, and harder to discourage for long. Output can rise when the fight feels like a quest or a test of spirit. The downside is overextending—throwing themselves forward because the mood says “why not.”

    Mercury in Pisces
    The mind does not stay linear. They read the ring by feel, change the look of an attack, and can make an opponent miss without a clear feint. Decisions in the moment are intuitive rather than schematic. This softens the Aries directness: they may intend to go straight and then slide off-line instead.

    Venus retrograde in Aries
    Desire for the fight is still fiery, but it turns inward and less straightforward. They can want the contest intensely while expressing that want in delayed, complicated, or self-questioning ways. Style and what they find “worth winning” may feel personal and revisiting rather than cleanly aggressive. In the ring this can look like sudden bursts of pride mixed with moments of withdrawal or second-guessing the ugly work.

    Mars in Cancer
    Once contact is real, the engine is territorial. They close, hold, hook, and make the opponent pay for entering their space. Aggression rises when they feel crowded or that something is being taken. The fight becomes pinching and possessive rather than a long-range Aries shootout.

    Combined ring temperament
    • Walks forward because that is who they are (Aries Sun).
    • Stays emotionally willing and a bit high-risk (Sagittarius Moon).
    • Thinks and disguises in water (Pisces Mercury).
    • Wants the fight with heat that is not entirely simple (Venus Rx Aries).
    • Turns the exchanges into inside, protective work (Cancer Mars).
    They start like a ram and finish like a crab. Early they look eager and adventurous; later they try to smother and not let go. Consistency depends on whether the Sagittarius mood stays lit and whether the Cancer Mars gets the “this is mine to defend” trigger. When both are on, they are a forward-moving fighter who makes the fight personal and close. When the mood dips or the trigger never comes, they can look busy without becoming ugly enough.

    Joe's Chart Grok Analyzed.


    This fighter’s temperament is an impatient ram sitting on a bull’s body, with a crab’s mood underneath. They want to start fast; they actually win by planting, absorbing, and hitting heavy.

    Sun in Aries
    The identity is to go first. They look for the opening bell to mean something, dislike being made to wait, and take pride in imposing the fight. The attitude is forward even when the rest of the chart is not built for constant speed.

    Mercury retrograde in Aries
    The mind still wants direct action, but it turns inward and revisits. Decisions can arrive late, in a burst, or after they have already replayed the last exchange. In the ring this can look like sudden committed attacks mixed with moments of internal delay—intending to be first and then adjusting a half-beat after the fact.

    Moon in Cancer
    Emotion is protective and tide-like. They fight better when they feel the space is theirs or when they have been crowded. Confidence can rise and fall with how safe or exposed they feel. When the mood is on, they become clingy and retaliatory; when it is off, they can retreat into the shell and look hesitant despite the Aries Sun.

    Venus and Mars in Taurus
    This is the real engine. Both desire and aggression are fixed, earthy, and slow to move. Mars in Taurus does not spray punches. It sets the feet, takes a shot if it has to, and looks for the single heavy deposit. Pain threshold and stamina are high. Once they decide the fight is a grind, they become very hard to shift. Venus in Taurus adds the wish to own the physical exchange—to make the opponent feel the weight and stay in the pocket on their terms.

    Combined ring temperament
    • Wants to initiate and look like the aggressor (Aries Sun).
    • Thinks in delayed or internal Aries bursts (Mercury Rx).
    • Needs an emotional sense of territory or safety to fully commit (Cancer Moon).
    • Fights as a stubborn, heavy, accumulating force once planted (Taurus Venus/Mars).
    They start like they want a shootout and then try to turn it into a bullfight. Early rounds can look eager or slightly out of sync; later rounds they get stronger if they have been allowed to set their feet. The dangerous version is the one who feels crowded, stops thinking in circles, and starts walking people down with weight rather than speed. The weaker version is the one whose Cancer mood never settles and whose Taurus engine never gets permission to just lean in and stay there.

    he has a very quick release, as quickly as his mind registers the opening its shooting the shot. but the sequence is not fluid, like bam or shakur for example. although, the shot that did the damage appeared to be set up, so maybe he is starting to incorporate movements into sequences, which improves fluidity.

    If I were a pro boxer, here's my fighting style laid out.

    Can you describe the fighting style of this boxer based on their birth chart?

    CST80
    Sun Aries
    Moon Virgo
    Mercury Pisces
    Venus Taurus
    Mars Leo

    This combination produces a pressure fighter with a technician’s brain and a showman’s finish.

    Aries Sun + Leo Mars is the engine.
    The boxer wants to take the center of the ring immediately, initiate exchanges, and impose their will. Attacks come in waves rather than single shots. Power is real and often theatrical—straight rights, overhand rights, or leaping hooks that look like they belong on a highlight reel. Pride is on the line every round; they fight to look dominant, not just to win on points.

    Virgo Moon keeps the aggression from becoming reckless. Emotionally they need things to be correct: footwork tight, guard high, combinations sequenced properly. They study tape, notice small tells, and make mid-fight adjustments. Body work and targeting the arms or liver often appear because Virgo likes to dismantle rather than simply overwhelm. Defense is active and economical rather than flashy.

    Mercury in Pisces adds the slippery element. The jab and feints are not purely mechanical; they have a deceptive, almost hypnotic quality. Timing can feel off-rhythm to opponents. They change levels or angles in ways that look improvised even when they are planned. This is the placement that produces “he just appeared there” moments.

    Venus in Taurus supplies the chin and the grind. Once they settle into a rhythm they become very hard to move. They can take a shot, clinch when needed, and slowly impose their physicality. Pace control is a strength; they do not panic if the early fireworks do not land.

    Overall picture: an aggressive starter who quickly becomes a calculated pressure fighter. They walk opponents down with purpose, mix crisp combinations with occasional explosive power shots, and stay composed enough to exploit openings that more purely instinctive Aries fighters miss. The style looks exciting but is rarely sloppy. When it works, it looks like a ram that also happens to be a surgeon.


    Sounds about right doesn't it?:sisi1 This is pretty much how most of my public fights on here play out!:lol:

    Well it’s taken Ryan less time than it takes to boil an egg to get rid of Connor Benn there.

    Speed kills, and the speed difference between the two was massive

    Glad I didn't set an alarm for that. I was expecting a hard won battle, rather than a whitewash.

    Garcia looked good, but Benn looked so terrible it's hard to judge Garcia's skills.

    I really though Benn would be stronger and bully Garcia.

    Bit of an anti climax.
