The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Difference being that Narvaez actually is shite and has never fought anyone good, one time he did he bottled it :tong :hi:

 

You've managed to contadict yourself and acknowledge it in the space of one sentence.

Congratulations.

 

Come off it ya weirdo I'm only kiddin' anyway.

 

I know you silly man.

Anyways, a PM from me to you a few months ago blatantly says that Narvaez isn't that good, I'm not fo'real regarding him half the time.

 

:deal

Got Chakhiev in my fantasy team. As an inexperienced pro with the fantastic amateur pedigree he has behind him, Cruiserweight is one of the best divisions to be in at the moment as a.l.a Rigondeaux/Shumenov, he should be fasttracked asap.

Been a bit disappointed in his level of opposition thus far but there are plenty of decent gatekeeper type tests for him now to take on now so hopefully he can really progress in the next 12 months :good

 

I know, he was just the quickest way to your heart without cussing one of my favourites (Mijares) :good

Man, Kalule was a wonderful boxer.

 

Whitaker vs De La Hoya (114-112)

Close fight. Scorecards were total crap. No way did De La Hoya win nine rounds. Pernell shouldn't have clowned around as much, but it was quite a good performance from defence - defence was great, that moment at the end of one of the early rounds when he dodged the entire flurry was sick. Interesting to see the WBC point deductions used in a fight of that magnitude. What a crap rule.

 

You should've gone the Acosta route, Omar's probably not even in my top 10.

 

:nono I like Acosta as well.

 

Pac-Marquez III.

117-112 Marquez. How Pac got the decision I'll never ****in know.

Fury-Pakjic ( or whatever the fuchis name is).

Fury is going to get ****in decapitated one of these. He's so open for the the overhand right its ridiculous.

 

Been watching an variety of fights this week:

Juan Manuel Marquez vs Juan Juan Gerardo Cabrera: A young Marquez looked great against a limited but very tough and game fighter. the difference in class between Marquez and the likes of Carbera is like night and day. Marquez has always been a joy to watch when both counter punching and being agressive.


Marco Antonio Barrera vs Maui Diaz: Just a dominant one round knockout against a very outmatched opponent from young Marco.


Ricardo lopez vs Saman Sorjaturong: Great performance from Lopez as he shows his exceptional power against a very good fighter in future world champ Sortajurong. One of the best wins of Lopez's career, all things considered.

Saman Sorjaturong vs Humberto Gonzalez: Amazing fight, Saman showed real heart in getting back after two knockdowns to knock Gonzalez out. Gonzalez was at the end of a long, exceptional career, but Sorjaturong still fought the fight of his life

 

He could easily be on a Rigondeux/Gamboa path in this current crusierweight division.

Fragomeni would be a good next fight for him, or Steve Herelius.

 

Arce v Angkotta this morning, great fight though when is Arce ever in a bore?
