Mario Thomás Barrios vs. Gervontaa Davis & Erickson Lubin vs. Jeison Manuel Rosario Bаstardo RBR

No justification needed. Ellerbe confirmed several weeks ago again and when the fight was announced that Tank insisted on Barrios not him.

 

It’s called ring generalship which is what Tank displayed last night. Allied to his power is legit speed, skills and toughness.

 

Davis is a special puncher, not fighter. He has big power, he gets massive torque in his short arms, works everything through the hips, punches straight through the target and knows exactly how good he is at it. He has the confidence to go all out when it matters. He can find them on the front and back-foot, and he can set up almost all of the standard punches from a variety of angles. Hooks, crosses and uppercuts. All of them.

The most intriguing part of his game is how he feints. Canelo-esque. Lots of emphasis on level change and directional feints, which both build power and is probably the most effective, albeit dangerous, type of feint. Starts low and goes high, or vice versa. Easy to counter if you know he's doing it, but if you don't, you're dropping your hands and walking straight into punches. His power only serves to make people more reactive, which then augments the feints, and then people bite them more, augmenting the power. It's a vicious circle for his opponents, which is why he's found everyone so far. His problem is that he has such poor foot speed because he's a fat **** that he can't get in range effectively.

He also has a very good knack for reading people and patterns. Look at him adapt to Santa Cruz before he KOd him. He ate the first cross, parried the second, and threw a very high-level counter. All the while, slowly shifting his lead foot forward into orthodox, making his rear uppercut a lead uppercut. Working with Floyd has clearly improved these sorts of things, even if his all-round game is pretty basic and he's easy to out-box.

 

De la hoya vs Trinidad, a draw? Wow

 

Other hard fights to score were the Pac vs Marquez Trilogy, and Barerrera vs Morales Trilogies. Who do you think won Barrera vs Marquez?

 

5 rounds at best for Trinidad.. i havent watched the fight in a long long time, may need to rewatch it but the last time i watched it, i had De La hoya winning around 7-8 rounds. May need to rewatch it

 

115-112 to barrera was my score. That fight was tough to score for sure.

 

i have the whole De la hoya vs Trinidad ppv card, and im not working tommorow, so i may put it on at 9pm est time and watch it like its, 1999!!!!!!
