Benn's bobbing and weaving style from '93 on was extremely awkward. Eubank was able to land 10x as many right hands on Calzaghe than he could Benn. Plus Benn was ducking below knee-height, let alone waist-height (he did the same to get by another huge puncher in Henry Wharton). Calzaghe was squared and tall standing... Anyway, McClellan is taller and a lot rangier... Calzaghe would have to get in-close, of course, but then he risks shipping that snappy sneak hook to body of G-Man that dropped dozens of foes.... I don't see any way Calzaghe can beat him.
Mcclellan KO1 Benn. Seems that all these years you haven't known the rules, yet you're chastising others Going through the ropes, like Benn, doesn't entitle you to a 20 count. I suppose you should stop calling yourself a fan. 9) A boxer shall receive a twenty (20) second count if the boxer is knocked out of the ring and onto the floor [url]http://www.abcboxing.com/unified_boxing_rules.html[/url] Maskaev-Rahman I Liakhovich-Briggs (where he didn't get one, ref waved it off at 7) those are examples where 20 counts are deserved.
calzaghe either really sucks on these boards or would go 100-0 if he kept fighting he either fought the best of his era or fought all bums
I wouldn't bet a dime on this fight. G Man could take Calzaghe out inside 4 rds or he could get badly outboxed.
See 1 min 50 secs: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DclzJW_FnME[/ame] Calzaghe's spectacularly overrated punch resistance failing him against a featherfisted bum like Salem says to me that a proven hellacious puncher like G-Man sends him home in a bodybag.
So technically as he was not on the floor, still on the ring apron and there is nothing in the rules to say he has to be within the ropes he was deemed to be still in the ring when he got up at 8 then? So Benn KO 10. :good
I do, bro. I watched the fight with my father and recall thinking that it seemed like an awfully slow count.
