The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

nigel benn vs chris eubank 1, first eubank fight ive seen, very good fighter and very good fight.

JCC vs greg haugen, wow a great crushing display by JCC

 

michael moorer vs bert cooper , i had forgot how exciting this fight was and how fragile moorer was

 

Williams vs Martinez
A closer fight than I remember it being but I still scored it to Martinez by a couple. He was landing the cleaner, more powerful shots. I was impressed by Sarmiento's corner work in this fight. Engineering those right hooks from the first bell and then later in the fight telling Sergio to work the body to open up the left hooks, worked a treat.

 

Duran vs Gonzalez

Duran vs Nsubuga

Duran vs Wheatley

Jimenez vs Barrera

 

Magarito vs Martinez
Martinez boxes well early on, doing what he does well, but at the end of the first he takes a heavy straight right from Tony and is knocked through the ropes. After this his game plan seems to go straight out of the window, and he finds himself brawling with Tony. Taking body shot after body shot he eventually slows down to the extent that in the 7th he has nothing left and after some taking some big shots is stopped. Sad to see but I think this fight has helped shape the fighter we see today, although I give a lot of credit to Gabriel Sarmiento his current trainer who he wasn't with at that point.

 

Watched a load of early Ray Leonard fights, some stunning KOs. The ref was a very brave man in the Pete Ranzany fight!!

 

not a fight but i watched latin legends yestoday

good dvd that

 

'I want to live in a society, where everyone loves one another.'

I love the surreal political talk at the end of it.

'Kids, don't do drugs'

 

real class act

 

Never knew he was a utopian socialist.

 

You gotta love Arguello.

 

Calzaghe vs. Jones jr.

It was hard to watch what should've been Jones' swan song. But as I'm getting my loosy goose on thanks to the Carling, I felt an ephinany light bulb moment in that Jones' future will be just fine. In an ironic way, I'm glad that beatdown didn't come at the hands of Hopkins because pride within the set you're from is big down where Roy resides - and Jones can eventually retire knowing he invaded Bernard's "set" 17 years ago and had Hopkins doing his best attempt to win an Oscar in the rematch....for whatever that's worth with those two HOFamers.

Just re-watched Juanma-Penalosa now and Cotto-Abdulaev yesterday. Penalosa was not human in that fight, his capacity for punishment was unreal.
