The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

I think that helps him with his leverage and setting up of his combinations.

I dont see it, and it would be a lot closer 114-113 to Gonzalez

He is much more fluid IMO he might not be as strong otr hit as hard but IMO he keeps the pressure on better and is quicker.

 

That was a great fight. Might give them both another watch soon

I watched this today. Roy Jones was brilliant, his performance against Toney blew me away at times :thumbsup

 

Everyone should watch Mickey Walker vs Max Schmeling, quality fight, a brawl with skills.

 

Shane Mosley v Antonio Margarito - This fight will never ever get boring and will never ever get less satisfying.....It is a bit worrying that I find such joy and glee in watching Margaritos face get pummled but the beautiful shots of Mosley, but the fact is that the cheater deserved it so its pure bliss.

Joe Calzaghe v Chris Eubank - I always think this is an underrated win for Calzaghe......of course Eubank was well past his sell-by date and had weight issues before the fight etc etc.....but if you forget about the records and concentrate on just what you see from Chris that night you have to commend Joe for the win......He hadnt even dipped his toes in world class territory yet and to produce a dominant win was no easy feat. That version of Eubank would give ANY young world class prospect a majorly tough night.

Muhammed Ali v Sonny Liston - I never really got how this was FOTY for 1964 (there must have been better fights)...but you cant really argue against it being the performance of the year......Ali was just far too quick and far too elusive for the sluggish-looking Liston, who exhibited little of the brutal confidence he had shown in earlier fights, his famous jab could not catch the young Ali......Also watched Liston-Williams I which was a great little slugfest :good

Watched a couple of the fights from Mexico this weekend including Ponce De Leon (just awful awful technique but hes very effective against the lower ranked fighters) and Segura-Tello which as always proved great value, Segura certainly isnt the most skilled of the little guys but will guarantee you a great fight....

 

That Heavyweight fight was what ruined Roy, the demise was always gonna be dramatic for a fighter who relied so much on his athleticism, but putting on that muscle and then stripping it so quickly brought on his demise much faster, He really had no business fighting at heavyweight and in hindsight was a poor move because it really doesn't mean all that much historically as it would've done had be beaten the actual heavyweight champ.

 

Douglas vs Holyfield.

Buster Douglas should of paid Robin royalties on this mega payday he had with Evander -because if it wasn't for Robin making the poor Catskill ******* driving his BMW into a fu***ing tree, Buster wouldn't of won that fight. I don't care about the out of body experience he had with his moms dying earlier in the week, it was Robin who had Mike banging Japanese chickenheads till 2 hours before that fight and drained the Iron Man.

Speaking of, remember Robin G in Boomerang? Damn, after that Slip was all about him some Robin, lol! I always had a thing for that Ms Givens though lol Halle too, but she was too much of a good girl all though in "Monster Ball" she got her cat crawl on lol But Ms Givens looks like the type that shows up in her business suit with her briefcase and then makes you obey her lol she's got that Bitchy persona that's just sexy lol

Megan Fox has inherited that crown, she has the lineage lol just oozes sexiness.

 

hearns vs hill
hearns vs schuler
hagler vs hearns

 

Roberto Duran vs Davey Moore

This was just absolutely brutal, Moore just looked absolutely helpless from about the 5th round onwards. A brilliant performance by Duran, who many thought at the time was finished after the infamous 'No Mas' episode. Watched it in great quality on YouTube with no commentary and the Hispanic crowd truly are something else.

Fights I'm planning to watch later:

Fernando Vargas vs Ike Quartey
Erik Morales vs Jesus Chavez
Erik Morales vs Wayne McCullough
Prince Naseem Hamed vs Kevin Kelley

 

This afternoon I am going to sit down and watch Nigel Benn...:yep

I have promising myself for an age to sort my library out and try and burn them all onto a memory stick or hardrive or something but I am a bit of a novice when it comes to computers...:huh

Any help or advice by PM would be welcomed...:good

 

It is a good fight, I love how Walker after the first 2 knockdowns gets up and sprints at Schmeling, and is amazingly game throughout.

Micky Walker really is a legend.

Depends how much DVDs you have I have about 350 and only about 240 fit onto a 1TB Harddrive

 

Mosley vs DLH 1.

This was Shane's "shining" moment, to switch to southpaw because his back was stiffening up from Oscar's jab. He boxed one of the most perfect fights I've ever witnessed vs DLH, where Shane had video game speed and kept that fight strictly in the center of the ring. I know it was politics just to give DLH 1/3 of the cards because that was not a SD fight. But I'm also a realist and realize that was the Sugar who may have been aided by the BALCO labs' concoction, lol! Shane was so close to the BALCO people with that special "cream" they had that flew under the radar of any doping tests. I'm not an expert, but I would have to say that Shane used the cream a lot more than people think...and I also think Holyfield did some shady stuff after the "alleged" heart incident but I digress oh and of course i gave DLH the rematch.

Shane IMO has the mechanics of a brawler but he is so damn fast he is able to lick shots before his opponent. I call him a fast brawler.

I have about 200+ I think...:think What is a 1TB hardrive...:think

I have tried to play them on my PC but they won't play for some reason...:think I don't know if I have the correct software or not...:think

I have not got a clue, I really want to load them up onto a hardrive or something. Then put the DVDS in a wallet so I can ditch the boxes...:good

Any ideas Greg...:think

 

Just watched Corrales v Freitas. Chico took some big rights in that fight and plugged away. Entertaining scrap.

1TB hardrive is something you can buy for £80 odd. Its worth it though.

Do a google search for 'DVD decrypter' and lcick on the first link and download it. Then you just insert your DVD and follow the instructions and it will save it where you want in a DVD folder.

Nice one Greg...:yep I will try that...:good

May sound a daft question but how do you list what fight are on what DVD...:think

Do you create a seperate word document and start a almanac or something...Does that hardrive plug in seperatly on a USB port...:think

It would be great to have them all stored on a laptop so if I go away I can bring them with me...:good

I have not got a clue how to upload off the other sites what you talk to GazOC about but I will try and suss this out first...:good

I really appreciate that advice and will let you know how I get on...:yep
