Locche and Pep had freakish reflexes.
Ward's inside game was leagues better than anybody he fought. Above average chin too. Many would have gone out to that Kovalev straight right.
Haven't seen this fight before but Good God how Barley made 160 is anybody's guess. Kalambay looks 2 weights smaller in comparison.
I think it more of a styles makes fights thing. Ruiz built around the 1-2-clinch, Toney built on countering the right hand with a huge speed...
Archie Moore? Not sure if he ever held the belt at middle but he fought there for a long time. I think he would be the only 160lber I'd pick to KO...
More like Carne USADA. Right? Guys?
Somebody call an ambulance he's having a stroke. The hell did I just read?
Bump
I disagree. It was a grey area. A judgement call. Hindsight being 20/20 it's obvious it should have been stopped, but Duk just kept on coming...
Yeah, it makes you question a lot about yourself and the sport.
The fight itself is an absolute instant classic. It's just hard to enjoy knowing what happened.
On Imgur it is one of my highest scoring posts. I'm not suprised the hardcore fans here don't really want to talk about it. It makes us question...
