Create a strategy for Holmes to beat

Get King to pay off the judges.

 

A fight like this will always be hard for Holmes, but if there's one thing that seemed to bother Page, it was pressure. That wasn't really Homes' thing, but I'd have him step forward with the jab and shoot that highly underrated straight right to the body, keeping Page going backward as much as possible. Merely standing at jabbing distance with him all night is a bad ploy.

 

............I could envision some good exchanges too, but only if Holmes dictates the pace. To tire his younger opponent out, he's going to need to apply that pressure and make Page react to him rather than trying to match reflexes with the faster, younger guy.

I see Page getting off to a nice start, but Holmes' measured pressure taking a bit of starch from his legs by the middle rounds, with Holmes eeking out the late rounds with a busier work rate and taking a close decision.

 

Are you kidding me?????
Holmes would beat the **** out of any version of Greg Page.

 

You must be on a combo of crack & reefer:hat :rasta

 

Holmes should have given Page the title shot Scott Frank received with his telephoned challenge of Larry, after Greg decisioned Snipes.

Coming off his overtrained performance against Witherspoon, Holmes was pretty much at the height of his powers, while the Dirigible was about to embark on a two match losing streak.

Larry would have taken this one by a pretty boring UD, in a match that wouldn't have done much to capture public attention. Page was tough enough to go the distance, but he was too wide open (and just plain too wide) a target for Holmes to miss with his harpoons. Page would do better if he was allowed to wear additional protective gear other than his cup-like an underwire. (Then, the network wouldn't have to pixellate his pendulous breasts.)

ps: I know it was me you were baiting JT. I didn't want to let you down.

What other evidence does one need.

 

Page will always be 2nd rate in my book.
I saw Page from the time he was an amature.
