garth wood style

Garth's very much a novice and he fights like one. However, he has been able to compete against guys with much more experience and hasn't been blown out. His three opponents in The Contender had a combined record of 60-12-4. He'd only had five fights going in. Good on him for having a crack. I hope he has some more success.

I hadn't watched any of Choc's fights since Soliman and can't believe how bad he looked the other night. He can't pull the trigger anymore, has no strength and failed to prevent Garth from almost exclusively moving to his right.

How much of a factor in the knockout was Garth's little headbutt as he threw the right to the body in the final combo? Surprised Barry Boy Michael wasn't all over that.

**** ye i just noticed the head butt....i like it...
the 20 punches in the back of the head were great also..

 

heh i just saw it again and again ...the head butt was huge....good work..!

 

JB i slowed it down even more by throwing it in Windows Movie Maker and putting the slow down effect on the clip, when i tried this and watched it again it doesnt look as bad and you get a better picture of what part the headbut played with respect to the knockout, it hits the chin of Mundine but he doesnt look hurt by it, that last punch is what put him to sleep imo, if anything the headbut has setup the following combo but we can only speculate, one would have to ask Mundine if he was hurt by that but to the chin and gauge his response i think.

 

Punters seem happy that Mundine was bashed behind the back of his left ear....typically, this summarises the low level of mentality, lack of knowledge, lack of fairness, and ebullient bull**** that fight fans have these days. If you have watched the replay, you would have to be a blindman not to have seen that the punch that caused the greatest damage to Mundine, was the right cross thrown behind Mundines left ear ( the left hook that followed was superfluous to the outcome.) Boxing knockouts don't have slo mo video for the ref to review and reverse decisions etc..etc. We live with the outcome, unfortunately. The propensity for fighters to throw illegal blows seems to be increasing, and probably based on, "I am unlikely to be disqualified for any illegal blow thrown in the heat of the moment." I think that this creed of behaviour is swallowing up the historic sport of boxing into something that it never was meant to be.

The devestation of this behind the ear blow, was vividly clear as the reason why Mundine was destroyed. In case you have all forgotten, the sport is about the sweet science of boxing, based on the Queensberry rules....not some mongrel backwood set of Deliverance biffs and blows. Woods continually makes a mockery of the Queensberry rules, with his "oops sorry about that", all in his eagerness to gain prowess. He uglifies our sport by regularly stepping over that line, and not obeying the fineline rules...drawing the sport of boxing fastly towards thuggery, or cage fighting.

 

Nevermind Tiger, I watched a few of Mandy's fights last night vs Soon Botes & Rick Thornberry. Mandy was hitting behind the ears, but I guess we dont get too wrapped up hey.... due to it being him.

 

Tiger he turned into the punch, take another look and it was on the side of the head not the back of the head,. right on the ear which is a legal punch, people have been stoped plenty of times from the same punch due to a busted ear drum and loosing equilibrium as a result and subesequently the fight.

 

Nup....it was definitely behind the ear. I bet Mundine never got a broken ear drum from that punch, cause it didnt hit him on the ear.....he was knocked unconscious from the wallop to the area behind the ear....the back side of the head.
Yep...Mundine turned, but the punch was thrown and it hit him behind the left ear.

BobbyDimSim, I don't give a fark about any other punch that Mundine might have thrown ten years ago....I am talking about the illegal punch that put him to sleep a few nights ago..... your mentality about tit for tat is childish

 

Childish?? Dont jump all over the vision available in slo mo. Quit looking for excuses for the loss. Perhaps the ref's view was obscured. Stiff ****.

 

I think the overhand right to the back of the head was the punch that did the most damage. That and the other 50 to the back of the head :admin

 

i slowed it down even more and c the punch your talking about, its before the left rip to the head and hits Anthony on the back of the head, only problem being Anthony put his head there as the combo was being thrown, it wasnt on purpose imo, if you put your head down like that when someones throwing punches of course they are going to hit the back of your head, its his own fault really.

 

Illegal punches - I suppose that's the same as when Mandy has pretty much turned around in a protective stance in his bouts (countless occassions) so his opponents can't hit him or has that convneniently been forgotten.

It is what it is the other night. It's ugly, but to be frank, Choc half left himself there by turning his head away from the right hand, the left was just there to finish the business.

I'm not defending Garth's 'style' either, there ain't one!

 

Ease up Tiger, The Pioneer has turned his back on opponents all his career....a lucky punch was bound to expose the enormous flaw in his defense at some stage.
That particular punch had little more effect than force The Pioneer to further turn away and drop his head into a thunder bolt from Wood flush on the The Pioneers jaw of glass.

 

Ease up Tiger.............

What ease up in order to lay, or abide with the emotional, uneducated boxing farwits?
You got to be jokin?

 

....this creed of boxing is swallowing up the historic sport of boxing..
.... uglifies our sport by regularly stepping over that line..

Seems like the best suited sentences to apply to Team Mundines behaviour regarding-
...weighing in on unofficaial scales, away from the appointed official.
...having a fighter travel half the globe, only to be faced with extra weight, or be sent packing without payment.
...undercard fighters selling tickets to cover their own expenses.
...endless promises of world domination- on par with Dr.Evil.
