Duk KOO KIMS BODY PUNCHES

Easily one of the greatest fights ever fought. Transcendent. Kim is a legend who put it all on the line.

 

Kim was a fantastic body puncher in that fight. I was young when I watched that one live and was a pretty big Mancini fan at the time since he was a midwest guy. It's funny how as an adult I focus more on Kim when I watch that fight since it's pretty much the only fight on film of his that exists.

You don't typically see a lot of southpaw fighters that are great body punchers for some reason. Vassily Jirov is the first guy that comes to mind. He also fought with same mentality as Kim.

 

Interesting point and that would make for a good and possibly unique thread.

 

I honestly can't think about to many southpaws that were good body punchers. Hagler?

 

He didn't overly stand out i reckon. Well, maybe in the southpaw world.

 

Marvin Johnson and a whole host of others who aren't anywhere near as cool as Pops.

 

Saldivar comes to mind

 

Hamsho could dig downstairs too. Limon as well.

 

SHOJI OGUMA

 

RIP. He went out on his shield, with honor, which is what I’m sure he would have wanted if he had to go.
