The Middleweight Tournament Final

Oh ****inghell i'm excited!

Is this the voting thread little guy?

 

Feel like i'm on a rollercoaster.

 

Good but nervous, you been on the pepsi max greg? it's like i'm on the bit where it's going up really slow, and you know you're going to go down the scary bit, you can hear the ****ing ticking noise. Nar in fact, i might not get on at all (might not vote!), haha.

 

I'm Sonny Liston, I'm Jack Dempsey.............

 

Sorry kiddo, just thought it had been a while since i'd hit you with that one. Back to the thread.

 

Make a vote then GP to start the ball rolling, i'm really interested here and you're ignoring me you little ****. Hurry up and i might vote with more insight, i don't wanna stay online forever tonight really.

Everyone, let's get this voting going.

 

I like Hagler by a very close decision here. Marvin should take the early rounds & would be on the inside landing hard shots. Hagler wouldn't be intimidated by Monzon's power, so he should atacking harder than usual. Monzon wouldn't waver & he should start to come on in the later rounds. But Marvin should have enough rounds in the bank, plus be competitive in a few of the later rounds to escape with a close decision.

 

A lot of people are going to pick Monzon here, because they deem him impossible to beat on the cards at his best. But Hagler, pressing the fight with anyone, 'making them fight', well i believe he bodes well against the vast majority of history's 160 pounders doing that. Still undecided as you can see, and i'm not one to sit on the fence.

 

Escopeta wins this one via close, close UD. He got in the ring with a lot of world elite class fighters, but Marvin would be his hardest fight of course. I've said this before on this fight a while ago, but I see it as a closer Valdez II, Monzon gets rocked a few times by Marvin early on, then starts to claw his way back in and grind down Marvelous to claim back a few rounds. With the way the fight has gone, the crowd are on there feet for a grandstand finish in the last round, with both men showing why they are considered the two best of all time at the weight. In the end Carlos's ice cold brutality wins him the decisive latter rounds, and with the 15th being a dead even draw, Carlos gets the nod. Both men applaud each other knowing they've just created a moment of magic in boxing history, and there is no hard feelings from Marvin or his team. He whispers in Carlos's ear 'we have to fight again, rematch next!', to which the shotgun replies no way jose, thats me, i'm finished, i'm now the best, i'm riding off into the sunset. Marvin grins and both men are joined by there women who hold there mens hands up and the crowd erupts in applause. Marvin leaves the ring and shouts back, 'youre on top of the world Carlos, enjoy it, go have fun, treat that beautiful wife of yours right there well, adios'....Carlos grins.
