the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

I would like to see a score of Ali vs Shavers.

 

watched lewis vs holyfield 1+2.lewis won the first fight so clearly they had to give him might have gotthe 2nd one even though he may well have lost it.if the 1st was the 2nd then holyfield may have got the decision

 

I don't know why anybody would score that fight for Holyfield; he just wasn't active enough to make enough of the rounds close. Even if you give all the close rounds to him, Lewis would still have deserved the D IMO.

However, it was obvious to me at least that Holyfield was completely washed-up at the time. Not a great win by any means.

 

OK i just watched the Arguello-Chacon fight. Im big fans of both, although Chacon in in my top 3 all time favs. Ok i thought Chacons corner stopped this too fast, he didnt like the stoppage either, ive seen hurt much worse in other fights. Although Arguello did hurt him at the end of the last 2 rounds and looked like it was a matter of time however. Chacon was still in his senses and fighting back.

Round 1. Chacon was a little busier landing some pawing left jabs and going to the body, Argullo landing with a couple one twos here and there. Kind of feeling out round but edge to Chacon 10-9

Round 2. Arguello landing some the harder crisper shots hear, although Chacon showing his underrated boxing skills here and his slipping a lot of shots the uneducated eye may not seen. Still Arguello is getting through. Arguello 10-9 Even 19-19

Round 3. I love the way Arguello always looks cool,collected and confident even when he is getting outworked. HE is a fighter that is very confident in knowing that he will come thru. Arguello is showing great ring generalship but Chacon more aggressive and stages rally at the end. close round Chacon. Chacon 10-9 29-28 Chacon

Round 4 Kind of a repeat of the earlier rounds here but i like Arguellos harder shots another close round edge to Arguello 10-9
38-38

Round 5 Good round Chacon landing some beautiful combinations and landing his right hand alot this one not close and most decisive round so far 10-9 Chacon Chacon 48-47

Round 6 This round very good for Arguello looks like a sign of things to come he hurts Chacon at the end Arguello 10-9
Even 57-57

Round 7 Bobby comes back but a little after is caught by a left hand and goes down. Arguello moving in like the cool calculated assasin he is has Chacon hurt . Chacon stages a good comeback rally but Arguello rallys and batters Chacon at the end.


Stopped at the end of 7 the cut didnt look to bad and Chacon wanted to fight. Although Chacon was hurt a few times in the last couple rounds . The big left in the testament to Arguellos great power since Bobby almost always showed a steel chin, he was legitimately hurt after that. Bobby probably would have lasted a couple rounds had they let it go on, although the end looked inevitable, especially knowing Arguello. We know Chacon was the comeback king but that would have been unlikely against Arguello, unless he took some of what Pryors famous concoction:-(

 

McGrain, you seen any Niko Joyi fights?

 

I agree, Flea thinks Joyi is better, but I prefer the more fluid attacks of Gonzalez. I think it would be a greta fight if they did meet up.

 

Why doyou think he struggles with lefties?

I agree on making him miss. Joyi IMO doesnt have that great of defence he is there to be hit, he is a good counterpuncher though.

 

I'll need to check it out.

 

Agreed there on all accounts. I've said for a while he beats Calderon, i actually think Gonzalez is one of the most talented fighters around today.
