Fights that are Commonly Misinterpreted

Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye - Haye was not the only fighter in that ring reluctant to trade or make the fight entertaining and nor did he disgrace himself.

 

Bruno V Witherspoon

It seems to be remembered as a flabby Spoon landing a bomb on Bruno's glass chin after getting outboxed. In reality Spoon paced himself well, made the necessary adjustments, and was landing big in the rounds before the stoppage. Bruno took a lot of big right hands before the one that led to the finish.

 

Mayweather Castillo I

 

you ever hear that michael moore quote? "if i would of just ducked one more time we'd be selling michael moore grills instead of george foreman grills." uhh no!!! moore didn't have that charisma and crossover apeal that foreman had in his second career.

 

Taylor vs Pavlik 2......had Taylor winning personally but can see a close Pavlik win but there's no way in hell you could swing more than 7 rounds in Pavliks favour.....People will have you believe Pavlik dominated Taylor twice when in fact they were 2 very close fights, Taylor almost had him in the 1st fight and the 2nd fight was damn near a draw....

 

Pacman vs Morales I. Although Morales handily won the fight, the real reason he did so was because Pacman suffered a bad headbutt in round 5 and was not able to adjust to all the blood in his right eye. For the first 5 rounds, Pacman did not put a lot of pressure on Morales - and even Freddie Roach warned Pacman in his corner not to "Play Around" with Morales. After he got cut, Pacman attempted to put on pressure on Marales in round 6 he just couldn't get the job done.

Pacman vs Morales II. Pacman does not suffer a headbut in round 5 and although the score and the tempo of the fight is the same as it was in the first fight through the first 5 rounds, Pacman applies pressure from round 6 onwards and tears Morales apart. Notice in round 6 that Paman sits down on his punches - you can actually here the punches explode against Morales over the crowd noise. Look at Morales' face as the round comes to a close - the Mexican Champ knows he's in trouble - he now realizes why so many fear Pacmans power.

 

I 100% agree with this!

 

As someone just mentioned, Duran - Leonard 1 is a great example. Leonard fans constantly say 'Ray fought the wrong fight' an completely overlook the fact that maybe, just maybe, Duran was that good to draw Ray into his kind of fight

 

Ray Leonard vs Duran II,

Leonard was winning the fight , but it was very close maybe one round or two not this mesmerising display of speed that I keep hearing. Duran just got annoyed that Ray was clowning around.

Hatton vs Tszyu

Tszyu was as healthy a 35 year old was as say Floyd and Calzaghe, he was not shot. Hatton was just the wrong type of fighter for Tszyu and always will be.

 

I agree 100%. Nevertheless, Marco did expose Hamed as lacking a lot of Boxing skills and laid down the blueprint to fight him effectively. In effect, Marco ended the best part of Hameds career.

 

****s like you are the main reason I still hold hope for the fmj-pac fight, you badly need this wake up call.

 

:deal

 

And...you could just shut up and watch those two fights and see for yourself.

 

He just hates pac, but you should give morales credit for beating him the first time since he just boxed really well, even without the cut he still most likely would have won since morales was the better man that night, there is no shame in that.
Thats the perfect 7-5 type fight with that awesome 12th round making it even greater.

 

Seen them both, Morales was in control of pac before & after the cut, it was his last stand as an elite fighter & no version of pac could have reversed the outcome, even with no cut, his favourite gloves & nice wooly comfortable socks.... he simply lost to the better technical boxer.

2nd fight was more of the same until Morales legs started to go from making 130, pac was a little better in the 2nd fight but Morales was a a lot worse than in the 1st fight. Freddie wouldn`t even let Morales weigh in at 132, the same Morales that was scheduled to fight Raheem at 130, couldn`t make the weight & had to switch the fight to 135 in the previous fight.
