The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Sung Kil Moon, in his 2nd pro appearance against game Thau journeyman Singnoi Singkrungthon, who I'm pretty sure I've seen being beaten up by Khaokor Galaxy.

Buoyed by his opponent being open to every shot in the book (and more than willing to take them!) the Thai wings back even when in dire straits. But Moon is simply too good and too offensive, and throws the kitchen sink at him. As always with Moon, no finesse, but barbaric sounding punches and a rock solid chin. Brutal. Moon wins KO3.

 

Fights that I can remember watching recently.

Ward vs Burton - I thought that the latter had won by a point, great fight nevertheless.

Chávez vs Taylor I - Taylor dominated and then Chávez took over for the final three rounds. Fairly good fight though, mainly for the end drama.

Gamboa vs Salido - Salido was beasted.

Gatti vs Mayweather - Gatti was beasted.

Hopkins vs Wright - meh.

Jones vs Woods - Woods was beasted.

 

Never seen that reaction from a knock down before flea, shibata like u say was hurt but to go down again and lay there apparently out cold is strange to say the least

 

That really is strange.

 

yea right, look at the way he falls second time down

 

Some reckon he's been involved in fixes, but every time I've seen him stopped it's by genuinely big shots. He was definitely vulnerable early, but seemed capable of going on at least two of the times I've seen him stopped.

Young Joe winning the British title

 

Ruben Olivares Vs Alexis Aguello

Good fight this, Ruben being the smaller man really takes it to Arguello here and has a couple of big rounds in (i think) 10th and 11th. It was a sweet left hook he walked into in the 13th to put him down but being the game ****er he is decides to get up and trade, which aint the best think to do really and gets put down and counted out.

Ruben Olivares Vs Bobby Chacon II

Short but sweet, Olivares really puts his punches together well here with chacon not really having much to answer back with.

 

Gatti vs Ward I. I thought that Gatti won though.

 

The Brawl in Montreal

 

Ike Ibeabuchi vs David Tua

One of my absolute favourites. What a fight. Total slugfest between 2 top Heavyweight contenders in their prime, and you know it was a great fight because it set a record for most punches thrown in a heavyweight fight. I had it 115-113 Ibeabuchi, but a draw would be the most fair result IMO. There's not much better than seeing 2 fighters batter each other to a standstill in an entertaining fight. Much better than Tyson/Holyfield 1 I reckon!

 

Tyson vs Holyfield I wasn't a great fight though. Decent one, yes.

I watched Moorer vs Cooper yesterday. Quite a good fight.

 

Walter McGowan Vs Chatchai Chionoi 1&2: haven't got time to really post all my thoughts on it, but both were riveting and essential viewing.

 

Jean Piet Bergman vs Zab Judah.

Judah was really exciting to watch in his youth, very good performance from him.

 

Berto Ortiz - Ortiz just walked straight through berto.
