Khaosai Galaxy vs. Cristian Mijares, 12 rounds.

Mijares by wide UD. He's the type of fighter needed to beat Galaxy.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Nice thread.

Perhaps freakishly powerful left handed punchers like Darchinyan and Galaxy are a bit underrated?

Sometimes ppl can go OTT on things like style. Mijares had the look of a brilliant boxer, for sure, but had been in real trouble vs face first slugger Kawashima.

 

thats prophetic mante, you proper know your stuff any predictions you can make?

 

Mijares is still young........I think he will bounce back, consider he probably 'should' be 'interim WBA Bantam champ' according to people who thought his last fight was a robbery.

Hasegawa is the best bet for him IMO. Still, Hasegawa himself is very underrated, and thought of as 'feather fisted' :rofl

 

That would be an awesome tactical battle flea.

Two very decent technicians going at it there..The fight itself may well be quite boring but Id be very interested to know who comes out on top.

 

Perhaps Mijares would have leaned right into Galaxy'a uppercuts and straight lefts.

Ppl have gone OTT on Mijares' tidy skills. It's like if a guy is unorthodox & a bit wonky like Galaxy or Darchinyan, then it' assumed they don't have any skills. Galaxy could draw opponents onto his bombs, he threw sneaky power shots, he was great in clinches, was strong enough to shove opponents off when they were getting set to punch. He had deceptive, cute moves - like when he pivoted to get a different angle, he'd keep his jabbing hand on the opponent's shoulder so they couldn't hit him. He had an awesome ring presence, chopped the body and the head well, and was probably the most fearsome fighter ever at super fly.

Galaxy doesn't have the outstanding single wins that Darchinyan has - such as Pacheco, Kirilov, Mijares, Arce - but did beat some good fighters, and his longevity is excellent for such an aggressive fighter. It's amazing how Mijares was already being considered the better fighter than Galaxy.

 

I think Hasegawa points. Fresher.
