the what fights did you watch today\scorecard thread.

I knew he was in prison for years, but didn't know about the trial. That's hysterical.

 

Apparently he's still IN prison.

 

Did he kill some dude?

 

Tried to kill his wife I think.

 

He tried to kill his wife but he didn't go to prison for that, apparently. He ended up shooting a cop in 1980 and then went to jail.

There's a thread on him here: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/jose-stable-why-the-overnight-decline.176532/

There's also an excellent article on him at Hannibal Boxing - first result if you Google 'Jose Stable boxer' - which tells the fuller story of what happened to him.

 

That's right. It was the Hannibal article I read.

Sorry, @escudo - did this one back when I told you I watched it, and forgot to post. Unbelievable fight, and glad I re-watched it. God Damn round 7 was good.

Right, not the 'robbery' I've been told about. A 6-4 with a KD in Ward's favour is no robbery, and Ward has a damn good case for winning this fight. However, I imagine the controversy came from Nolan's card. An 8 point disparity for either man here is bonkers. Plain and simply wrong.

Ward threw 101 punches in round one, now that's impressive on its own, but he threw NO JABS. None. This man threw 101 POWER SHOTS!

 

I think I had 7 to 3+KD. Most of the complaints about robberies were because I thought Augustus took it clear FWIW, but the fight was at Foxwoods. About an hour away from Mickey's house, plus the slightly wonky scorecards.

 

Ricky Hatton v Kostya Tszyu

Round 1: 10-9 Hatton
Round 2: 10-9 Hatton
Round 3: 10-9 Hatton
Round 4: 10-9 KT
Round 5: 10-9 Hatton
Round 6: 10-9 KT
Round 7: 10-10 Even
Round 8: 10-9 KT
Round 9: 10-9 Hatton
Round 10: 10-9 Hatton
Round 11: 10-9 Hatton
Tszyu was retired after the 11th round

Total (through 11 completed rounds): 107-103 for Hatton

I'll just say Hatton got away with a lot there and won it on his physicality. That referee Dave Parris reminded me a lot of the WBA's house referee Stanley Christodolou. Caution, caution and caution but never take a point away. Actual scores were 107-102, 106-103 and 105-104 all for Hatton.

 

Ruben Olivares v Bobby Chacon I (California scoring)

Round 1: Chacon
Round 2: Chacon
Round 3: Olivares
Round 4: Olivares
Round 5: Olivares
Round 6: Olivares
Round 7: Even
Round 8: Olivares
Round 9: Olivares (scores a knockdown)
Chacon is retired after 9 rounds

Total (through 9 completed rounds): 7-2 Olivares

Bobby paid the price for running out on his training camp as Ruben zeroed in on his body and had him wilting severely in this scheduled 12 rounder for the NABF title. The knockdown in the 9th is a skull rocker.

 

Decent fight too. I love Olivares, his style is awesome.

 

Ruben put on a clinic in this fight. The master and the pupil.

 

Just watched a fight that I enjoyed immensely. The second fight between Fighting Harada and Jose Medel. It was not a slam-bang affair but two exceptional stylists pitted against one another. But one which was like a taut chess match. I personally loved it. Medel trying to bait Harada on the ropes - he is by far the best counter-puncher off the ropes I have seen - and Harada trying to negate the counters by crowding and work-rate. Anyways, you be the judge.

Harada v Medel II (5 point must)

Round 1: 5-5 Even
Round 2: 5-4 Medel
Round 3: 5-4 Harada
Round 4: 5-4 Medel
Round 5: 5-4 Harada
Round 6: 5-5 Even
Round 7: 5-4 Harada
Round 8: 5-4 Harada
Round 9: 5-4 Medel
Round 10: 4-4 Even (scored it for Medel but the ref deducted a point from Medel for thumbing)
Round 11: 5-4 Harada
Round 12: 5-4 Harada
Round 13: 5-4 Harada
Round 14: 5-4 Medel
Round 15: 5-4 Medel

Total: 69-67 Harada

Actual scores were 74-67, 73-67 and 72-67 by all 3 Asian judges. I should note that I scored the 6th even though Medel really hurt Harada with a counter, but really failed to follow up and Harada came back with his hustle and bustle, which is what won the fight for him on my card. Really loved this one. I should also not how I feel Harada had just about the most impressive title reign IMO. Wins the title from all-time great Jofre, defends against Jofre, then defends against absolute top-notch opposition in Medel, Carraballo, Rudkin and is set to defend against Pimental when Jesus pulls out and is subbed by Rose. You don't see that happen much, if ever. No taking an easy one here and there. just top of the rung opponents.
