I just got done watching the Bantamweight unification fight between Carlos Zarate and Alfonso Zamora. The fighters had a combined 74-0 record with 73 knockouts. A fan jumps into the ring during the first round of the fight. Decent fight but one sided
I remember those fights well, fighting Cuevas before Hearns was like walking through a minefield,,,, blindfolded. Sooner or later the opponent would misstep and boom, over. What Hearns did to him was so unexpected and shocking . I thought both would land their share of heavy artillery and Cuevas would win because of his more proven chin. Boy was I wrong lol. Cuevas was a great fighter but Hearns was a ATG!
Nikita Tszyu v Aaron Stahl. Caught some HLs on YouTube. Younger brother of Tim of course. Took 6 years off to study architecture - this being his first fight back. Not too bad - looks like he has also been blessed with some Kostya Kapow. Lot of work needed - particularly defense and offense that is perhaps a bit too deliberate but the potential is there if he is serious about the game. Looks more like Mum more than Dad while Tim is an elongated clone of KT. I wonder how the old man KT and his restaurant are doing in Moscow Russia?
I wish I could find Cuevas-Shields. I swear I’ve seen it before on YouTube but it seems to have disappeared.
I wonder what they where thinking when it happened. "Battle of the Z bombers" was such a fun brutal fight.
In Russia Tszyu is making bank, he won't even contact Tim anymore over WhatsApp he has a new family now. I feel as though the younger brother is just trying to follow suit with Timmy and may fall to obscurity. Hope not. Tim is just a slightly bigger Kostya in appearance no doubt. He even wears near identical trunks to make it even better.
I watch whenever there are fights on TV (when I know about them): ESPN, Fox, Showtime, etc. I ordered Canelo-Plant. I wish we got decent undercards like you’d often get in the old days but I enjoyed the main event. EDIT: Also ordered Fury-Wilder III. What a war.
I don't even have all that I fork out too much for streaming services. People say as they want about Don King but he knew how to stack a card, now everyone want's to be the star and the undercards are filled with guys you and I have probably never heard of.
