Agreed that the two Bute fights probably took a lot out of him. He might've won the first fight in many eyes (just about) but he took a hell of a lot of punishment!! His stalker style is exciting, but he has a habit of blocking with his face a la Ricky Hatton. I think the old Kessler fight prob did the most damage, Libro's been in some real tough fights and it's starting to show! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLKGyXe87MI[/ame]
Consider the source. Freddy should be invalidated from any commentary where a Mexican fighter is concerned.
I'm sure you feel that way; and I'm sure that you did not arrive there through any rational thought but instead a combination of homerism for the Mexican guerro, and not liking the style that Pryor used (who would??). Not illegitimate baseis for opinion, but also decidedly not rational. Objectively speaking, Pryor clearly won. :deal
It's a good thing you're not a judge. That's where real robberies come from; when judges get annoyed at a fighters style. Just because you have an ugly style doesn't change the fact that you won more rounds than your opponent. People seem to forget that Pryor banked the first four rounds of that fight. You shouldn't judge based on your affinity for one man's style, or your disgust for one man's style.
i thought he lost to pryor fair and square. hope he comes back strong but its gonna be tough for him.
Its too bad... Maybe it would be a good Fight If Pavlik and Andrade fought... Pryor Jr is a Top 15 fighter just like Andrade so either or would be good!
