The Moon-Galaxy Rivalry

I've seen it

 

nice one is it worth it

 

I was a bit disappointed as I thought it might of been from around 73-74 but it is an exhibition match from much later.

 

yeh Jofre looked old but Alexis looked in good shape. Alexis played around and Jofre showed some real fast feet in closing the distance but didnt do much haha

it was a good laugh though i enjoyed it. funny stuff if you expect it to be a laugh.

Alexis obviously had huge respect for Jofre though i noted that.#

As for the KD at the end i think it was a dive

 

Reminds me of the Pep Robinson exhibition

 

yeh it does but that one Ray Robinson is sprinting round the ring around Pep who actually wants to spar so then goes sod it and starts throwing Eubank esque shots all the while Marciano is doing serious commentery

 

Old experienced Jofre of the Saldivar fight versus young inexperienced Arguello of the Marcel fight. Who wins? Only a couple of months between these fights.

 

thats a tough one but i think Jofres experiance would be too much for Arguellos youth. but a very close fight. Just think Jofre could out savvy him and controll the fight better than Alexis could and that would be pivotal, but then again Alexis was bigger and had a hell of a punch

too close to call

 

Close to call, but i might agree.

 

I wouldn't argue with that. One of those that got away.

 

haha i really hedged my bets didnt i.

my pick was Jofre.

I always think Jofre vs Rose prime for prime would be a good fight as i think Rose has slightly more speed but Jofre is more clever and there quite similar boxers. very tough to call that

 

I think it would be very difficult to beat Jofre from long range personally.

 

you worded that wrong it sounds liek youd struggle to beat Jofre at long range

the personally should have gone at the start

i think im failing english at school so i dont know

yeh i agree with taht statement but if anyone can do it the Rose who beat Harada can. Remember my theory about the faster guy winning in a similar fight well Rose could maybe pull it off

 

Nar i meant that in a long range battle, anyone would be hard pressed to beat the GREAT Eder Jofre (haha, on a roll here me). Rose has a brilliant left hand, for both countering and jabbing especially. Jofre can hit a man with all kinds and is crafty as well from that range, i do think he'd take a decision personally. When it goes to close quarters Rose is strong as hell but i think Jofre would be better.

 

i agree Teeto i just think theres a chance Rose can get it a slight one though.

I rate Rose higher than most though and he was alot bigger than Jofre.
