How many of you guys actually know how to break down a fight?

I do alright ..I'm pretty decent at it but just when I think I know whats up I learn something new ..

 

Hell yeah i picked Peterson over Khan and Alexander over Maidana. Oh and Mares over Agbeko in the rematch. Next predictions are Garcia over Morales. Khan over Peterson in the rematch. Rios over Gamboa by ko. Thats all for now...

 

well to be fair, Alexander dosn't usually fight like that

 

I do alright. In six years I got 7 picks wrong.

 

if its two fighters i know a lot about then i think i can break it down ok, if i only know a lot about 1 fighter my break down may be one sided

 

I can do okay. I can't break down a fight on a scientific level, noting every single subtlety, but I don't just "watch" boxing, either.

mutha ****as say that I'm foolish, all I talk about is jewels, do you fools listen to music, or do you just skim through it?

I picked alexander as well. I jus thought he would stop miadana... Kame klose to droppin him a few times. Idk why he didnt go.to the body more. Especially after he hurt him good there.

one fight I predicted that kinda scared me was prescott alverado(or whatever dudes name is.) I was dead on the bredis would start fast but he tends to tire out. I was at hooters and my girlfriend was talkin **** sayin I was jus hatin on prescott an how hes kickin mikes ass then prescott looks so tired in 8th an 9th round which is when I would, finally gettin stopped kuz he is so gassed. I felt like ms. cleo lol

 

You forgot to mention the greatest quote in ESB:

"DLH will murder PAc by jab alone"

 

I'm ok if i know the fighters well enough, i suppose we all can be.
Some of the posters in the classic are the best at breaking fights down. Real knowledge.

To me, breaking down a fight comes down to analyzing strenghts and weakness and trying to see how a boxer can use his strenghts against the other guy's flaws, without being too much at risk against his opponent's weapons.

I'd say it takes a rationnal person, that have been around boxing for a while and has high interest in the art of the sport. If you are qualified and are able to let your mind think objectively, than, I guess you can speak up on how you see the outcome of a fight.

Some do it better then others, though....

If it makes for a good discussion about boxing, it's all good! :good

 

everybody is forgetting farm boxer and his long detailed analysis of fights

 

good point we had guys like bazooka who were around the sport for a long time but made the stupidest posts and most inaccurate predictions

 

Some people will never get it, I guess they were not blessed with judgement, lost cause...

 

Common sense might occasionally outweight knowledge.
