The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Ricky Hatton Vs Paul Denton
Joe Calzaghe Vs Rob Reid

 

Naz-Kelly is a great fight, but slightly overrated.

Naz-Sanchez is probaly more entertaining, albeit against a lesser opponent.

Naz-Bungu is as entertaining and Naz gives an absolutely supreme performance.

 

Abraham - Miranda I - An underated and entertaining war. Brutal as hell, high on intensity, low on quality. 7/10.

 

Seen it on high quality gruesome fight. Really should have been stopped Abraham didn't want to continue. His corner and ref forced him to continue. Very good fight must have been agony taking some of those shots with his jaw like that.

 

Yeah, his corner and "people" in general don't really seem to give a **** about his health. But he showed amazing grit and determination to get through it, and win.

There is an uppercut in round 11 (I think) that is replayed at the end, I felt sick watching it land in slo-mo, pushes an already broken jaw up, blood gushes out of the mouth, brutal stuff and a great fight overall.

 

Jones - Sheika......and my mates missus battering him lol

 

Vic Darchinyan - Nonito Donaire: Average fight, spectacular KO, Vic got completely smashed, hope Donaire gets a big fight soon. 6.5/10

Also watched some Mike Perez...definitely got some great skills and power, maybe too small but looking forward to seeing more of him

 

Howard Winstone - Vincente Salvidar II: Great effort from Winstone against the Mexican great, was winning the early rounds of the fight but Salvidar is just a beast in the later rounds oh the fight and took over, considering Winstone had 3 fingers missing from his right hand he did pretty well. Lots of his stuff on Youtube :good 7/10

Also watched a couple Theophane fights, don't really rate him

 

Watched Pacquiao-Morales II&III.
An underrated trilogy IMO. Even if Morales was on the slide, still very exciting fights.

 

Totally agree.

Fight II is awesome. I'm a big Erik fan and it's sad to watch him on the deck but it's such a great performance from Manny and a thrilling fight. Erik loses but he loses like a ****in warrior. Legend.

 

Tito-Vargas. It's been to long since I've seen this fight.

 

Erik Morales - Wayne McCullough: Magnificent effort from the Pocket Rocket against the absolute beast that was prime Morales...the chin on McCullough is frightening :scaredas:....Prime McCullough would smash Dunne :smoke....7/10

Ike Ibeabuchi - David Tua: Bit of an overrated heavyweight fight IMO, big on number of punches, small on drama...still a very entertaining scrap...Ike wasn't all that. 7/10

Alex Arthur - Michael Gomez: In preperation for tomorrow ..ATG Domestic scrap, doubt I could ever get bored of this fight, what a war! 8/10

 

III was probally the most impressed I've been with Pac-Man, he just went through Morales, no messing around.

I think I is up there with Barrera-Morales I, and II & III, are actually probally better than Barrera-Morales II & III.

Great trilogy.

 

ike quarktey vs murray
quarteys a very underrated welter
