Terrible Night of Boxing

I like how even the commentators called out the fact that the first "low blow" resulted from Lara pushing Vanes's fist into his own nuts.

 

Trout-Charlo was in no freaking way a robbery. It was a damned close fight that could have gone either way. There were a lot of close rounds (and you yourself admitted it in the thread) and Charlo's harder punches could have carried a number of them. You could get to 116-112 Charlo just about as easily as you could get to 116-112 Trout. It was that kind of fight.

Fight was quite good, too. Really well boxed with a lot of back and forth. I'd say it warrants a rematch.

Lara-Vanes II wasn't amazing, but it was light years better than the first fight. Vanes should have received more credit for the body work he was doing, but he did kind of allow Lara to snag a few of the close rounds by tapering off his attack. 116-111 seemed wide, though.

Plus, we had an interesting case of role reversal in the first fight, where the slugger boxed and the boxer had to turn puncher to defeat him.

It was a pretty decent card, all things considered.

 

Blame it on HayeDay!

1) David Haye was rocking the big baby diaper and fought a complete bum
2) Briggs's opponents literally got off the plane to fight Briggs and basically got paid to get knocked out

 

I don't know what people were expecting...

Lara
Martirosyan
Trout
Jermall
Jermell

None of those fighters are known as must-see TV.

 

Ah well at least it was free.

 

I thought Trout took as well. Haven't rewatched it though. Charlo disappointed me.

 

You have 0 self awareness, which makes sense as you sound like an absolute idiot.

 

:good Decent breakdown.

 

Go eat a ****meat sandwich degenerate. You're used to watching untalented guys brawl and get ktfo. You don't watch boxing for its skill.
