Naseem Hamed vs Barrera Documentary Vid ("Little Prince - Big Fight")

You’re using the pre-fight interview as evidence that Naz was still in his prime.....but ignoring what actually happened in the ring against Sanchez?

 

He's a crazy delusional character

 

I think far too many people get all intrinsic about the sport.
None of us will ever earn $$$ tens of millions of dollars yet live by a debilitating profession to earn it. But fans like us see much more importance in Hamed only fighting once more after this fight than we should.
Hamed was living a lifestyle so fast it must have been hard to focus even for 5 minutes. But at no point in his career were his abilities enough to beat any version of Barrera. He had a punchers chance at best, but in boxing terms he was lacking.
The scorecards were about right. Not a schooling by any means, just a better boxer with perfect tactics. Its so easy to call it an ass kicking when its blatantly not, just to rile Hamed fans but the reality is a convincing victory. If the wake up call was too much for him or he really was too distracted (i dnt believe anyone getting in a ring to fight another man is distracted) it really shouldnt provoke the hate brigade or Hamed fans who believe he was better than he was.
The documentary is a great watch and reminded me how good it was having him in the sport.

 

the prince coudnt even walk by a mirrow without been tempting of praising himself,
even if he was a narcisist,egocentrical mofo he got strong family values and i respect that.

 

jesusatsch

lets just face it, Naz wasnt as good as u first believed.

Any version still gets raped by Marco

 

Hamed looked vulnerable, hittable, and mediocre before finding a knockout. Kinda like how he did against the unspectacular Kevin Kelley when he was supposedly in his prime with the messiah in his corner, Brendan Ingle.

It's not a coincidence that Hamed's performances took a dive once the opponents got gradually better. Jesus. Think about it. :bart

 

hyper-delusional Nas fans pretending that he had a shot against MAB.

 

Thanks just watched it !:good

 

Exactly, because Hamed was THAT good, but people couldnt see the decline. Similar to Tyson Douglas, yes Tyson was still knocking people out but the skills were fading comapred to Tyson 88...it took Douglas to expose this. Hameds previous fight against Augie Sanchez should have showed that he was there for the taking.

Secondly what most poeple seem to forget (or hide) is that MAB changed his whole fighting style. Before this fight he had a totally different style. NOBODY expected Barrera to fight like that.

Thirdly ive read soemwhere that some of Hameds training consisted of watching and rewatching the Junior Jones knockout and saying he was gonan do the same to Barerra. Hamed simply underestimated Barrera....

 

That documentary is like a real-life boxing version of This Is Spinal Tap.

 

Watched this 2 or 3 times over the years... good watch

Really does show just how out of touch the Prince had become at this point in his career.

Wasn't training like he should've been and surrounded by yes men. Got what he deserved really.
