I used to like Anthony Dirrel more than his bother Andre. Angulo impressed me for...

this reason. People forget that Angulo has not had that many pro fights. He came back against a guy who could box a little, and Angulo never let him get off the ground. He kept the pressure up, and when he had his quarry hurt, he finished him. I thought it was a punch on the break at first, but after the replay, I saw that Rosado committed the worst sin in boxing. He waited for the ref to separate the two...WITH HIS HANDS DOWN. Dumb!!! Fight until the ref comes in to separate or says somethingbreak the two.


You are not reading this incorrectly. I like Anthony more than Andre, and both are talented. Anthony does need to step up his comp if his eye is ok. I never agree with Atlas, but he made a point. I still think Anthony has more talent than his brother Andre who is world ranked, and Andre has gotten better, and is seen as the better fighter right now. But...

Anthony was knocking guys out impressively before the cancer hit. Most people will probably think the opposite way that I'm thinking when it comes to thse two, but that is just me. I'm not counting last nights fight, nor the one he struggled in his first fight back. I think Anthony can come all the way back to what he was becoming, and that is a pure boxer/puncher. Can both Dirrel btoehrs do what the Marquez brothers have done?... Only time will tell.

 

Did anyone see the African guy come to the ring in a cage with the lion's head over his head. That was funny. The ref was Jay Nady, and guess what lol... The African guy hit the other guy with a temple shot ala Tyson-Berbick, and the guy wobbled around before he fell, got up wobbly, and guess what... Nady LET IT GO ON LOL... He stopped Judah's fight with Kostya, a fight in which the division had not had a unification fight in the last 25 years...and stopped his count at 4 instead of 8, and said Judah was unfit to continue even though Judah was up before 6... but gave this guy who was wobbled badly a second chance lol... Nady counted to 8 and asked him if he was ok, and let HIM fight on lol... Aint dat a blip lol...

 

I hope so...

 

Good posts. I hear both you guys. I don't know if he is a ko waiting to happen, but he does need to tighten up. Guys tend to tighten up more when the comp is elevated. Time will tell.

Why is Angulo being moved so quickly? He is not an olympic schooled fighter like David Reid or Fernando Vargas was, so why is he being moved so fast? He only has like 16 pro fights. Maybe being 26 is why, but in today's fight game, 26 is young imo.

 

He looked good when he was letting his punches go. He looked good overall, but he has to fine tune some things with his defense center ring. But his mistakes (picking off shots center ring)were against a guy who could not reach him.
