    Well said escudo. I have learnt so much from you and reznick since
    joining this forum. Good to see you both on the same side this
    time.

    Is the verdict on Robinson anything but unanimous?

    Robinson was a gifted fighter and his name will always come
    up forever on the debate on who was the greatest pound for
    pound fighter .

    Incredible work escudo.
    I loved the break down.
    One of my favorites that you've done.

    Lamotta looked much better than I remember him.

    He shows some really refined technique here.
    Jabbing twice while pivoting to his left.
    Jabbing twice while closing the distance.
    Shoulder roll slipping while moving backwards.

    I've lost many friends and family to the Bowe-Carnera Massacre of 2017.

    :clap: Another wonderfully crafted piece. I was looking forward to this one after the clue last week - maybe you should make a habit of including these hints at the end of all your work, keep your audience anticipating the next instalment.

    Robinson is amazing to watch, whether he liked it or not the man displays such a flair for violence in the ring. The video you linked by Reznick was a treat also.

    :bumpFor anyone who hasn't seen this yet.
    Even if you have seen this fight 20 times, this is still worth a viewing, escudos poetic breakdowns of the highlights really capture some great moments from this legendary 'beauty & the beast' clash of styles.:worship2:

    Agreed, I was suprised how defensively responsible Jake was. He was just a bit too slow to get away from Ray. His defense gets underrated because of his incredible chin.
