CST80's Random Boxing Scorecards For Modern & Classic Matches Depot/Discussion Thread.

I really do, these are the fights that I watched as a kid growing up that made me fall in love with the sport. If you get the chance you should watch the Arguello vs Escalera II fight I posted post #143, just one of the many exciting Arguello fights. He was a great man, nicest man you'd ever meet, and my favorite boxer ever.

 

You got that right, it was a lot like Canelo vs Triple G in that respect. G was very active, but landed little clean, Canelo was just too slippery for the majority of the fight.

The difference of course was that SRL landed a lot of flashy eye catching lightning fast combinations on Hagler that swung rounds in SRL's favor, whereas Canelo landed more powerful blows on G like those brutal uppercuts, but he didn't overwhelm G like SRL overwhelmed Hagler in many of those rounds. G took more punishment vs Canelo than Hagler took vs SRL, but arguably SRL did have a more clear victory over Hagler due to those combinations and frankly due to Hagler's gameplan. (i.e. Hagler coming out uncharacteristically orthodox for the first 2 rounds)

There are a lot of similarities to the flow of both fights, with how well Canelo started winning the early rounds vs G similar to how SRL won the early rounds vs Hagler, and with both G and Hagler starting to come on in the middle rounds. Though SRL looked to be in more trouble at times vs Hagler than Canelo was vs G, and SRL was clinching a lot whereas Canelo wasn't clinching vs G. But that's understandable given SRL's age and coming off such a long layoff.

 

Yeah, I think I have both Escalera fights on my to watch list. I think I watched the first years ago but didn't really appreciate what was happening. Arguello vs Pryor 1 is probably my favorite fight so I want to give them another chance.

 

He wasn't as flashy as SRL, didn't land as many long combinations as SRL did, but he did land harder more impactful punches on G than SRL landed on Hagler. Of course we're going to disagree on how accurate and effective G was, but I will accept that G did more to claim a victory than Hagler did. Hagler just really fought the wrong fight, especially early on, he came out smiling and just seemed to be too overconfident like this was going to be easy work. Another thing was the round limit had just gone from 15 rounds to 12 rounds and I think that played a role in how both fighters approached the bout as well. That said. SRL did look to be in more trouble in some of those rounds than Canelo did vs G. And you can't ignore the clinching. I mean for all the complaining about Canelo's so-called "running" vs G, he wasn't clinching like SRL needed to vs Hagler.

 

I don't think Canelo knows how to fight out of a clinch.
And GGG is pretty crafty when tied up.
So it makes sense for Canelo not to even try. It would be like fighting fire with fire.

 

A epic fight to be sure, but always hard for me to watch is Arguello vs Pryor 1. As far as Arguello vs Escalera the second fight is much better for action.

Round 3: 10-9 Limon
Round 4: 10-9 Limon
Round 5: 10-9 Chacon

Round 7: TD

My Score: 58-56 Chacon

Official Scores: (60-56 Chacon) (59-56 Chacon) (59-56 Chacon)
Winner: Due to a accidental headbutt causing a cut on Limon by Chacon, and because Chacon was leading at the time of the foul the fight was ruled a Technical Draw.

I never liked Bobby Chacon, I always felt like he received a lot of hometown cooking, I was surprised the CSAC didn't award this fight to Bobby.

again? whats going on in your head?

 

I also felt DLH won but he shouldn't have run the last 3 rounds. Would have forced the idiot judges to give him the win.

Just thought of something: was Adelaide Byrd, or one of relatives , one of the judges?

I don't know what this British commentator is talking about, Watt in't doing bad at all but he lost the first 5 rounds on my card. Pitalua is doing the better work landing a variety of shots besides the jab unlike Watt. The 6th round was the first time I thought Watt's jab and straight left hand was the better work done in the round.
