Admittedly, I've only done it a few rounds at a time, never all in one sitting. Big fan of watching Holmes doing his thang thang period...though he didn't really do it that night. He showed far more mercy for his idol and friend than Marco did for his...but in a way MAB actually would have been disrespecting Johnny had he done the same (or fought a Juarez II type fight). Kicking his ass was the highest compliment he could pay.
Yeah. And he was so strong at that weight. Wish we could have seen more of him there. Any strong feelings on the scoring in the first fight?
Come to think of it, there's a heart in here after all. Pacquiao-Morales III was tough. Would erase the memory of Erik's eye contact with the old man in the corner if possible. Don't need or want to see Whitaker-Bojorquez. Ditto Pryor-Young.
Won't be watching Simpson-Docherty ever again, I actually missed the fatal round but I saw the first few.
Eubank...2,4,5,7,8,9 Watson..3,6,10,11,12 round 1 even. Scored it a few weeks ago actually.Been wataching a lot of Eubank fights recently.Tough fight to score, mostly dominated by very good defensive work from both fighters.It's a very good technical fight imo, some of Eubank's upper-body movement was as smooth as it gets. Had Watson up by four points before the stoppage in the rematch.Adjusted brilliantly by upping the workrate, pressure and ad******g the right-hand to Eubank's defensive style.The uppercut taht turned it around was a real walcott vs Charles moment.
Yeah, that punch was one in a million. If Micheal had got the nod the first time around, I don't think that would ever have happened. The first fight, i've scored it three times, once a draw, and once for each man. I've given up on it.
Ive never watched Trinindad Vs Hopkins. I got Titos career set and even tho i know it was a classy performance by B Hop could never bring myself to watch it even though i understand its not nearly the worst beating a fighter has ever took.
Most of these responses seem to be centered around tragic beatings where a young up and coming fighter pounded an aging icon, ie. Ali-Holmes, etc.... Here is a twist.. As a personal suggestion for a fight NEVER to watch, if sleeping pills won't knock you out for the night, Michael Nunn vs Marlon starling sure as hell will. Arguably one of the very worst fights I've ever had to suffer through from an action standpoint. I've seen pillow fights between college girls where more damage was inflicted.
I saw AngloSaxon-Arran today. I will never ever watch it again. Louis-Schmeling II, Armstrong-Ross, Joppy-Duran and the possible trashing Hopkins may get if he fights on too long are the fights I never watch. Don't like seeing my heroes gettin' trashed :bart
