Umm Holyfield-Moorer, Moorer-Tua, Moorer-Foreman, Pac-Morales, Donaire-Darchinyan, Z Gorres-Montiel, Penalosa-Cho, I can keep going. It's more than just being southpaw, fast, and powerful.
Good win for Santos. I have to say I am a poster that said Santos is not a knockout artist, but then again, how good is Alcine's chin. Santos is to be taken seriously not as a stepping stone. He has gone to many backyards to win and retain his title. I would love to see him get a rematch to avenge his loss of his WBO title. I forgot the champion of the WBO's name.
...and the stock of Sergej "Dzyna" Dzinziruk rises up again - hopefully he is is going to meet Santos again to school him one more time...
Moorer did very well against Holyfield. But Holyfield proved to just be stronger in the rematch. Plus figure in Holyfield''s chin and this is a no brainer. Against Foreman, again Moorer was undersized. Foreman could make mistakes, Moorer obviously couldn't. Moorer was simply a better cruiserweight than he was heavyweight. Darchinyan is just an awful boxer. If it wasn't Donaire someone else would have taken his head off. Can't really comment on the other fights. Of course it is more than just being southpaw, fast and powerful. Read what I wrote. When size and strength are equal the southpaw will almost always get the better of the orthodox boxer. There are of course exceptions to the rule. But it's a rule nonetheless. Reason being that a southpaw throwing his left cross counter will sneak right under your right cross. We saw it with Sanders against Klitschko (both) and tonight with Santos against Alcine. A southpaw who doesn't fight afraid will land that punch in most exchanges.
I think it's better matchup than Williams, Rubio, or Mora.... although I do want to see Mora get knocked out.
In slow mo that was beautiful to watch :yep. Very well timed Left hand counter by Santos. Right on the money and found the sweat spot on Al's chin. The crowds response is priceless to me. You can hear the shock in the Arena once Al hits the deck.
dzinziruk got a gift decision over lukas konecny last time out............you remember konecny?? he was the guy who couldnt even win the euro belt from that 40 year old italian piccirillo. and who did dzinziruk defend his title against since beating santos???? some dude from brazil nobody ever heard of and a guy called alisultan dzinziruk was once a good fighter. but he appears on his way down.
**** ca fait chier moi je trouvais qu'au contraire le combat allait bien pour Alcine pis que malgre que Santos avait une avance de 3-2 sur ma carte j'etais confiant que Alcine allait gagner une grande majorite des rounds de la 2e moitie du combat. C'est plate parcequ'il c'est fait pogner solide mais d'apres moi si ca allait 2 ou 3 rounds de plus y'aurait commencer a dominer un peu plus. Toute la semaine a CKAC on entendait "il va etre meilleur les 6 dernier rounds" mais il s'y est jamais rendu c dommage en passant la soiree etait vraiment nice pis Alcine sera back j'espere qu'il vont le faire rebondir assez rapidement le mettre contre des gars moyen le temps de reprendre sa confiance pis si il est capable de se tailler une place pour un rematch eventuel contre Santos ce serait l'ideal d'apres moi
