Who Wins This Potentially Explosive Encounter Between Two Fast,powerful But Not The Most Durable Southpaws?
Moorer. Sanders, while tough and power, was sloppy. I think Moorer takes this by a stoppage in the 7th.
I like Sanders by ko, as well. Michael Moorer could get cranked up if you hit him, hurt him, but didn't knock him out. He would just have a hard time finding Sanders in this fight. When southpaws face right handed fighters, whoever has the lead foot on the outside is lined up to land power punches. Whoever has the lead foot on the inside is lined up for the jab. A lot of people don't notice when they are lined up for the jab, because of all the attention on foot placement. All of these things are gone in this fight. Moorer's power punches don't line up to land. These two are lined up like to orthodox fighters would be. Moorer would have problems with Sanders boxing ability, and height.
C“mon guys, damn, how overrated is Sanders now because of his victory over Wladimir, Moorer was one class above Corrie... Moorer TKO 7 Sanders
Moorer by super safety first decision; according to Steward, Moorer hated getting tagged, so it is unlikely he would take too many risks against the South African.
The oft knocked down Michael Moorer would be hit by a fast, hard hitting, big fellow southpaw and would be ko'ed like he was when similarly cracked by Foreman, Tua and Holyfield. Don't be delusional about Moorer..he was a good, not great heavyweight who had a fragile chin, and Corrie Sanders could punch..he even came close to decking Vitali. Moorer's chin was his undoing.
I tried to stick my fingers in my ears and go "blah blah blah" but then I realized that wouldn't work since I was reading what you wrote as opposed to listening to it.
