When two talented guys like Tubbs and Page have fought each other seven times in the previous ranks and have a total feel for each other, not much they can do, though it did look like Page floored him in that fight.
give ali a break,sure later in his career he was only fighting some fights for the money.but he also gave us many of our most exciting fights of the last 75 years as well,he ducked nobody.he sure made the 60's much fun for me,his fights all shown free on wide world of sports.
The Tucker fight had plenty of exciting moments, there were a couple of great rounds in there around round 9 as well as the knockdown in rounds 3 and 10. Certainly nothing like the Wlad/Sultan level of a non happening.
Dont do it. There was no competetion between them because they are friends or somethng to that effect. They didnt even try to hurt each other. It was literally a sparring session. Actually a bit worse than that because it was two friends sparring. It was a very friendly fight.
Actually, Jim Braddock vs Max Baer was a real stinker too... If you watch the real fight, not the cinematic version of it in "Cinderella man"
Good picks. Tubbs vs Page, Rhaman vs Ruiz, Harrison vs Williams, Bowe vs Donald, and Holyfield vs Bean should rate. Honestly, Wlad vs Ibragimov was not that bad of a fight. There have been a 100 worse. Wlad landed some brisk shots, used defense, and was robbed of a knockdown.
I'm surprised Briggs vs Liakhovic has only been mentioned once. That one was BAD. Briggs vs Ibragimov wasn't great either, although it did have some good moments with Briggs staggered and hurt in the 9th.
Tyson v Smith was bad.. it was a comedy of dance, hug, outlast, It was a moral victory for Smith for making Mike appear human.. Donald v Bowe was pretty sour.. Tua v Lewis, Akinwande v Welch, Maskaev v Otkhello, Williamson v Byrd, Tubbs v Witherspoon Byrd v Castillo, Holmes v Cobb, Ali v Lubbers, Skelton v Sprott, Harrison v Guinn Lennox v Jean Chanet McCall v Akinwande (Until the drama at the very end..)
LOL, I guess you are one of these super modern fans. I was spoiled; with what happened in the 70s, 80s and early 90s; thus Lewis/Tucker was a suck fest IMO.
