Barrera vs Hamed

You visit a few tourist spots and you come to the conclusion that most Brits 'don't really want it'?

As for Naz, soooooo many things were wrong for him. Even if he was happy with the gloves and his flip over the ring was as amazing as ever, his gameplan and focus wasn't where it was needed to be. Hamed shamefully stopped developing and let himself slowly decline in the latter part of his career, and it was only a matter of time before someone got to him. Even a Augie Sanchez almost did it, before falling victim to his stupendous power.

 

What do they know? There are many nutters over here who definatly DO want it.

As for Hamed, that fight with sanchez was definatly a banana skin which he very nearly slipped on. Iv got that fight on DVD and his Hameds phenomenal power saved his ass bigtime.

Sanchez had to be carried out on a stretcher if i remember rightly

 

He didnt train properly, he didnt improve as much as he easily could of done and he didnt do round winning basics during his fights.

And eventually he would meet somebody who did all these things and was also very talented and there was to be only one winner.

Gotta say i was convinced Hamed was just guna knock Barrera out though.

 

having two trainers and swapping them over half way through teh fight was a wrong idea.

 

That fight was crazy, and the knockout even more so! Yeah, I remember Sanchez being taken on a stretcher with an oxygen mask on.

 

who was naz meant to have fought instead of sanchez? I recall naz saying that sanchez was the bravest to take the fight where few others rejected the offer??

 

Oh the ironing.

FWIW you do realize England is smaller than a great deal of states in the U.S. Why does this matter you ask? Cus we have different accents all over the ****ing country. Before you wanna go and talk about how misinformed or ignorant Americans are, you might want to make sure you don't sound like an ignorant ******* in doing so.

 

Hamed didn't get beat because he got hit with a cup of beer, he got beat because he got hit by Barrera's gloves, repeatedly.

 

MAB's masterpiece..what a beautiful fight this was.

 

I think Naz wanted Barrera or Morales for that date, but for whatever reason it couldn't be made. Wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference though. He was there for the taking and either one of them would have given him his first loss.

 

Plain and ****ing simple.

Beautiful performance by my boy Barrera!! :happy

 

Like most things, it was a culmination of factors, but the only thing that is relative, is that we got a true reflection of who was the greater fighter overall.

Hamed fell in love with his power, but Barrera also went into that fight with the tactic to make Hamed come foward, as he felt Hamed was not as effective on the front foot, infact that he was more hittable, it worked a treat.


You might say Hamed's own self belief is what lost him the fight, cause in some instances, with self belief, comes complacency, beit not putting the work in, in training, not doing your homework on what game plan to employ, but that is on the fighter, fighters who are great, are not just great cause they have great skills, they have great dedication, preparation.

 

Hamed vs Barrera was like Corrales vs Mayweather and Pacquiao vs Morales!

All phyiscally gifted beasts with no discipline fighting fighters with incredible discipline. Hamed, Corrales, and Pacquiao all had incredible power that could be unleashed at weird angles and send opponents home early yet they all relied and their opponents coming forward. The only one who showed they learned was Pacquiao, but I would still like to see him fight more counterpunchers.

Hamed just never had the discipline, in multiple fights he showed he was more interested in his persona and showed awkward clumsiness. If Barrera was dumb he would of lived up to the hype and boxed in his usual manner coming forward and would have been devastated by some awkward punch by Hamed. Instead Barrera showed a discipline he never showed before and outboxed Hamed and made him look like an idiot he had showed himself to be for the past few years.

Hamed never had the discipline period or else he would have found a way to corner Barrera. Instead he relied on the style he relied on his whole career, awkward counters.

 

Do your research and you'll learn that the English accent is newer than the American accent. Received pronunciation is a fad that caught on and got dispersed in the 1800's, your original accent is a lot closer to current American than it is to cockney.
