Chucho, Herrera & Medel > Marco, Erik & JMM. :hat

 

Yep.

You don't post anything except to bash The Great One. Shame, Flea. Shame.

 

Underrated.

Santos Laciar, LMR at middleweight, Sammy Mandell, Eddie Perkins, Salvatore Burruni, Jorge Lujan, Brian Curvis and true founder of the Yuan dynasty Choi Tsevenpureev.

Overrated.

Gutteridge and Carpenter as commentators, though they were too likeable for it to bother me.

McGuigan and Watt as pundits/commentators. They're not Gary Neville however much they want to be. :bart

 

Good call on Jackson and Tompkins. Tompkins has always been rock solid and down to earth; and Jackson had a way of adding to a fight's drama without going over the top.

Overrated; Bowe/Holyfield 1. I sure don't think it was a great fight but just 1 where one guy hung tough. But it really was not a true back and forth fight and Riddick pretty much had things his way. It was a real good matchup at the time and the first time in a lot of years since Evander had faced a youthful pedigreed fighter.

Underrated; Etienne/Brewster. Rarest match in recent times, 2 undefeated heavy prospects fighting each other. 1 guy from prison and the school of hard knocks and the other guy with a big amateur background. And I liked the work don Turner did with cliff a lot more than I ever liked his work with Grant. But the match itself was kind of like Sergei/Lamon lite. 10 rounds of punishment and both guys getting hurt. Man, that Black Rhino threw about 70 punches a round and 60 of them were hooks. The other 10 were uppercuts and jabs. What a tough back and forth fight and I'm surprised that either guy made it to the final bell.

Ironically just to show how fickle heavies are, Etienne was hot of this win and gets destroyed by Fres. That sneaky right hand of Oquendo really blew out a ton of candles for the Black Rhino. He kept getting up after getting clipped, but you just knew it was going to make for a devastating loss.
