Footage thread

Never noticed that. Boxing is very high on my priorities just now though.

 

Mathebula - Kim!!!!! That's ****in' money!! Great upload.

 

It was a better fight that I remembered it as and Gonzalez performed better than I remembered although he was less dynamic than he had been earlier in his career. For example in the second fight with these two he is much more dynamic with his movements and counterpunching and overall more explosive and aggressive.

If you have not seen the second bout, check it out. Its a really good fight much in the mould of this one. And IMO its a more important match up as both men are closer to their best.

Gonzalez, to me, always looks like he should be a brawler, but he is a very skilled technician. A bit like Santos Lacier in that regard.

Also Shoji Oguma would be a great name for a Glaswegian.

Here is my RBR

1. Feeling out round - Hard right hook by Oguma and some nice counter combinations
2. Good combo's by Oguma - Gonzalez weathering them
3. Ditto - Gonzalez just really plodding forward, feinting looking for shots, although he lands a few good straight right counters.
4. Ditto - Sharp straight left's and right hook counters - Oguma keeping pace/pressure high
5. Oguma slowing down a bit - picks some nice shots - Gonzalez landed some hard counters - very close round
6. Gonzalez landing good straight right counters - Oguma a few good shots - close-ish round
7. Oguma upping the pace a bit again - Gonzalez some sharp counters - But waiting too long
8. Superb straight right leads by Gonzalez - Oguma a bit wary - lots of sparring fro openings by both
9. Very close and action packed - Good exchanges - Gonzalez countering with better shots - Oguma higher workrate - nice straight lefts and body work
10. Close- good exchanges - both quality shots but Oguma getting off first so slight advantage
11. Oguma lots of pressure - good exchanges - Oguma still getting off first
12. Slower round - Gonzalez good movement and straight rights
13. Oguma some nice combo's - Gonzalez countering but waiting too long
14. Hard Oguma combo's
15. Gonzalez great straight right counters - Gonzalez superb movemen - ring general - Oguma very cautious of counters.

McGrain, you summed up Oguma quite well. As his footwork for an upright Boxer-Puncher, like he is, is superb. He sets his feet well but they are always able to move and his feet are deceptively fast.

Oguma: 1,2,3,4,7,10,11,13,14
Gonzalez:5,6,8,9,12,15
Total: 144-141 Oguma (9-6)

 

Anyone got footage of Kim/Ibarra?

 

Just keep an eye on this thread and it`ll be up eventually.

 

If I could put in a request. Luis Manuel Rodriguez vs Joey Giambra is vital seeing for any fan.

 

I'm pretty sure that was the first footage I ever saw of Rodriguez. Hell of a performance. The guy was first class as both a Welter and a Middle.

 

That's good news. Any footage of Ibarra would be appreciated.

 

One of the best performances I have ever seen. Just dominated every second of that fight. I actually think Rodriguez hit harder as a Middle than he did at Welter, I think its to do with the bigger guys being slower and easier to hit. As against the Welters he never really tagged them good but at Middleweight he really hurts some durable guys.

 

I am pretty sure I included his bouts vs Betulio Gonzalez and Juan Herrera as well so they should make their way onto this thread eventually, ask McGrain for confirmation as I don`t recall anymore what I sent him to be upped.


Btw, your all welcome.

 

Who are you? Not Gpater I presume yet the posting style is similar....

 

RB, its GPater here. Good your uploading all this stuff onto Youtube. Some superb fights, that all boxings fans should take a look at IMO.

And thanks for the Griffith and LMR fights, both of them guys are quality.

 

So it is you, what prompted the change for a new account? As for the upping onto youtube it ain`t me doing it personally, I got My2Sense and McGrain to do the work for me as I can`t be bothered to learn how to do it nor do I have the time for that matter either, so its more convenient to have others do the work for me lol.

My2Sense is gonna start uploading some complete fights as well instead of just highlights, I sent him a bunch recently so those will start going up as well in due time. I don`t mind doing this seeing how it generates interest and discussion about fighters that are hardly if ever talked about here let alone known about by casual fight fans, this is one way of expanding their knowledge and I am happy to be able to help in that regard.

Much more to come so lets keep this thread alive and well, I don`t post much anymore but do drop by to read comments and check interesting threads such as the Jack Chase one among others, good to see this forum is still going strong and with some old faces making their way back it might just entice me to post a bit more often too.
