Most Combined Firepower In A Fight

Henry Maske shadowboxing.

There's your elaboration.

 

Also, the shout for Zarate-Zamora, or better still, Gomez-Zarate.


All great shouts.


Great thread subject.

 

Mugabi--Hargrove comes to mind and that's 2 sluggers who simply never jabbed. No way it was going 3 rounds. Hargrove is a guy that has not stood the test of time well, but he was definately a Philly fighter being watched back then.

 

:nonoNo Maskebating here.

 

Be careful what you wish for...

 

In terms of sheer firepower I have Zarate-Zamora>>>Gomez-Zarate.

Obviously Gomez was a phenomenal puncher, but that was more down to his impeccable technique IMO. Zamora was all out pure power

Same opinion.

That Pedroza KO is very impressive.

Zamora definitely had some serious power.

Who in the bantam division can say he punched decidedly harder than Zamora?

 

Darchinyan vs Donaire. Darchinyan had freakish windup power in his shots due to the odd way in which he threw punches, one of the hardest punchers in his division I can recall. Everyone already knows about Donaire. Picture perfect left hand that leaves dents in peoples' faces. Together there was a rather scary level of power in the ring that night.

 

This is the first time I've seen Zamora-Pedroza. (Previously, I'd seen Lujan-Zamora and, like everybody else, Zarate-Zamora.)

Alfonso's been stereotyped as strictly a hooker with two left feet, the old Mexican stereotype (thank you, "Flash" Gordon:finger), but the execution of his right is stunning here, even before the finisher, and he's clearly going with that cross from the outset (much like Cuevas did to Backus).

It's also interesting to me that his posture is very much Olympic regulation despite his lack of height relative to Eusebio, not ducking and weaving below the waist (as Frazier learned to bob and weave after Tokyo), but very much retaining his Silver Medal winning form from Munich (where he won twice on points, something which may surprise some younger fans).

Refreshing to see him in action prior to Zarate. (He looked utterly shot and tired against Lujan.) My other impression is that Pedroza simply wasn't strong enough to carry championship caliber punch resistance at bantamweight, and he rightfully abandoned this division following Zamora. Otherwise, he looks pretty much like El Alacran for as long as it lasts (sans the bolo punch, of course), but it's really a one punch knockout. He might've really gotten hammered if Meyran had let this continue.

Once again, we have footage that shows issboxWRECK ****ing up. They've always recorded this one as a clean knockout win for Alfonso, but Pedroza beats the count to his feet by a significant margin. They need to change this one to a TKO.

 

Thanks for the yt embeds... I'd not seen the Villegas, but I'd seen him vs Zarate and Pedroza. It had been a while since I've seen the Pedroza and forgot how brutal that KO was...

Zamora was a scary puncher, indeed.

 

Lewis has certainly been in a few

Lennox vs Tua
Tyson
Vitali
