Bodell after beating Joe got a fight with Jerry Quarry, and some thought he stood a chance; the fight did not last a round, but that did not stop 'arry Carpenter asking Jerry post fight if Bodell was 'awkward'? Jerry's response: "He kinda fell awkward!"
Douglas-Monaco was sort of funny. Douglas fights a third rate Tyson impersonator, the first round ends uneventfully, and they return from the commercial to Douglas in his corner trying to regain his senses after being flattened. https://youtu.be/qQh8eU-_zWo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jack Bodell is seen as,something of a laughing stock but he scored some good wins. Joe Bugner (beat Page, jimmy Ellis, Mac Foster, Wepner) Jack OHalloran (beat Manuel Ramos, Cleveland Williams) Jose Roman ( beat ernie Terrell) Billy Walker (beat Thad Spencer) Brian London ( beat zorra Folley, Radmacher, Pastrano) Billy Daniels (,who beat Doug Jones, Tony Alongi and Mike Dejohn) Bob Stallings (who beat ernie shavers)
Corey "T-rex" Sanders tko of Wolfgramm, when he flops down to the canvas in joy, and then realizes the referee hadn't stopped the fight, but then continues fighting and gets the tko win.
Of course you're right Chock! It's just his awkward style plus the stuck out chin, which people didn't seem to be able to miss. You've got to give him big credit for all he achieved in the game.
it glanced off the gloves and hit him one time, one time he legit got himself. wlad's done it too (vs jennings iirc)
Jerry also said: " In the first round, when he threw a punch, his arms went flying out to his side. I just knew this was a guy waiting to get HAD!" Haven't seen much Bodell but I'll guess his 'success' before trying the big boys, was based on sort of a hold and grab tactic( sort of a European Terrell) given his 6'6" frame.
I never laughed so much at a fight in years as I did watching Fury vs Wlad. Hysterical and at the same time very sad how low the hwt scene has become.
