The best of Myung-Woo Yuh (kind of)

well you said your sending me some and i have the 2 Gamez figths myself

 

nice one i have your disks done just need to send them out

 

Thanks for the video! I've noticed he's good at slipping punches and making people pay. The part starting at 2:52 was a thing of beauty.

 

Nice video man.

Really, really like his counter right hand.

 

Nice to see Yuh finally getting some recognition round here, a long time ago I used to mention his name a lot when talking about Asian or lower weight division fighters but never really got to talking about him much with anyone besides Mante as no one else knew fook all about him really.

Now it seems that that page has finally turned for good and he is starting to get some attention and praise from the masses here at esb classic, and its about damn time if I may say so, but better late than never as the ol` saying goes. Now if I can only find the time to join in on the fun and talk about him and some other fighters a bit more in-depth....

 

RB throw afew names out if you can of guys like Yuh, real underrated lower weights guys?

 

Indeed

 

Well, Alacran Torres from McGrains thread was a damn good fighter in his day, very well schooled and skilled technical boxer he was. Rodolfo Martinez was another guy who is only really remembered for his loss to Zarate, shame really as he was a clever and cagey fighter, not the most flashy but like Yuh he was pretty good at everything without being outstanding in any one area.

Then there are other guys from other weight divisions that never get any ink round here such as Federico Thompson, Gaspar Ortega, Isaac Logart, Joey Giambra, Yama Bahama, etc... These guys weren`t great but they fall into the category of fighters who could and likely would have fared better in less talent stacked eras. But even as it stands they were solid contenders who provided some great fights to us fans, and they ought to be remembered and talked about more often imo.

 

I try and find the time to post, I really do, but most of the time I am just too damn tired to do so. Hell, I`m half asleep while I am typing this, lol.

 

His accuracy, counter punching and combinations were all excellent. Love his left hook as well, are any of his fights on youtube?

 

I have to admit I've never seen any of his fights, but I'm impressed from that video. Definitely going to give them a watch.

 

thanks RB

You mention Gasper Ortega i have some fights on him to me he was just a decent contender in a great era but he was very exciting his fight with Basilio is non-stop punching and the first fight with Griffith catches some fire in the later rounds
