Laurent Boudouani vs Terry Norris

I think it was a bad stoppage , do not know what triggered it .
Each fighter was hurt in d fight a few times , but d moment of d stoppage , was not even 1 of those moments , at least not 1 of d clearer of them .

Quite back and 4th fight with Bouduani retreating more but attacking when d situation asked 4 it , and Norris attacked more and retreated when he had 2 .

There was also a short shootout or 2 during d fight .

This was Bernard's fight to lose, if he would have just pushed the pace a bit more then he was used to, he could have won this fight. As it stood though, he bid his time a bit too much, and waited too often, simply not enough activity on his part. He had Joe locked in all day with that lead right hand, he just didn't use it enough, and he should have followed the lead right with a hook, would have made a world of difference.

Chucho definitely could fight off the ropes.

Raul Cruz would agree with me.

 

Chucho was brilliant at everything.

They robbed glass-chinned Khaokor in South Korea

 

:fire

And nah, not IMO. Never got into the fight especially after such a slow start.

Made amends in the rematch :hey :deal

 

By the way while I agree that Weak Twin looked impressive in the rematch,
Moon, on the other hand, clearly didn't look his usual relentless self.

I seem to recall Lora mentioning trainer's death affecting Moon.
And I've heard rumors of food poisoning too.


Immortal Kalulesai never needed this kind of help to defeat his ATG opponents.:yep

 

Moon's trainer died on the eve of the fight but I don't think the original Korean zombie looked much different.

Either way, what Khaokor did=a Moon beating performance, dontcha think?

 

Hell no!:twisted:

Healthy Moon would have smothered Khaokor's weak offense and crushed him in the rubber match!:bbb

Khaokor was pretty arrogant - the way he occasionally stood with his hands down by his waist and looked at Moon like "Is that all you got, boy?"

They even brushed his hair after the fight


By the way Khaokor probably was twice as fast with his feet/hands as Khaosai.

 

Now you know that isn't true, but the fact it prompted Moon to move down to super fly says it all IMO :yep

Khaokor Broner was damn talented, and yes I agree he was much quicker than Khaosai, Khaosai of course was the harder puncher.

 

Watched a few this past weekend.

W. Klitschko vs Peter 1
Barkley vs Hearns 1
Barkley vs Toney

 

And what did you think of them? All interesting bouts to discuss IMO.

 

Ha ha true enough.
Klitschko vs Peter was great. Thought Wlad was badly treated with the knockdowns by the ref but damn his legs were shaky. Top fight.

Barkley vs Hearns decent I suppose. A lot of people say Hearns isn't frail but I disagree. He gets caught, he gets hurt.

Seen the Toney fight before but love it. Barkley was made for him in the way Nigel Benn would have been. Toney is one of my favourites for sure \0/
