Berto Vs Ortiz was the 2011 FOTY? What about this FIGHT

Damn, good find.

I've gotta admit, I was unfamiliar with Kim or Manakane.

 

3rd round!! :shock:

They created a damn uppercut wood-chipper between them.

 

Nope, it might've not even been top 15! That was a great year!

Guevara vs. Rodriguez, Maidana vs. Morales, Chocolatito vs. Chango, Rubio vs. Lemieux, Wolak vs. Rodriguez I, Holt vs. Diaz (short but sweet), John vs. Yordan, Perez vs. Darchinyan - all better than Berto vs. Ortiz, IMO.

 

I'd like to see compubox stats for that round...

Kim:
Jabs Landed: 0 of 0
Power Punches landed 150 of 150

Manakane:
Jabs Landed: 0 of 0
Power Punches landed 150 of 150

 

Japanese commentary sounds so much more epic than English even though I have no idea wtf they're saying.

:roflatsch

 

Korean. :rofl

I've watched a few Starcraft games (Really big in Korea), and commentary for that game was insane there.



Very similar to this.

 

Damn, now that's the type of fight that literally takes years out of one's life. Pure brutality right there. How the hell didn't this get the publicity it rightfully deserves!?

 

Well the fact that it was held in a school gymnasium with like 20 people watching in lawn chairs probably had something to do with it. :yep

 

It's so weird, you see all these guys in suits sitting near the stands. Just really weird to me.

You wouldn't see something like that in the States.

 

...but yeah, safe to say it was all downhill from there for both of them.

Manakane went 3-5 in the remainder of his career, getting knocked out four more times. (he already had been handful of times before Kim, but half of those were to world class guys like Jandaeng, Gorres, and Poonsawat)

Kim meanwhile went completely off rails, losing his very next fight and going 1-4, stopped thrice.

Neither has fought since last February, so I guess they're both done. :conf

 

Right? Almost like PBC attendees transplanted absurdly to a Zelenoff vs. Hartley type venue.

 

ROFL, I can totally see that

And I'm not even going to ask you how the hell you remember the name of Zelenoff's opponent.

Ffs!
