The 'what fights did you watch today?' thread

Inspired by a thread on here, I watched Thompson-Haye last night. The ring entrances told a story, Haye danced his way to the ring to some R&B tune, laughing and joking as he went while Thompsons face looked like thunder as he marched into the theme from Rocky.

 

Boring fight didn't you think so?A robbery too

Fernando Vargas-Oscar de la Hoya.Post fight Oscar said how great his conditioning is:-(

 

what do you think of Monzons style do you think its boing

i personally like it it is effective and gets the job doen

 

yeh it is truly effective

yeh your spot on he throws alot of different punches but he can get abit predictable with the 1-2

the straight right hand is wicked but he sometimes pulls it back low (i call it swimming)

dont say anything negative about him Smith might se it

 

mancini vs Deuk Koo Kim

Had never watched the fight fully, but after watching 'Triumph and Tradedy - The Ray Mancini story' it made me watch the fight.

Was a war, which is sadly tainted - like so many other great fights.

 

Yeah it is.

 

its a great fight. Kims bravery is tremendous the gy is a warrior he really is he was weight drained but he still takes that punishment and dishes out the same. a true heart and spirit warrior. He will never be forgotton along with all the other brave fihgters who risk their lives

on the version i have it has the interviews afer the fight and Mancini is heart broken i think it was still when Kim was in a coma and Mancini is crying and his voice is cracking its sad to watch ven thinking about it is sad and the interivew after he dies is just heart breaking

yes it is

 

Hopkins-Vanderpool on a RJJ undercard (mention that because B-Hop is booed throughout).

This is a proper street fight, in fact it may as well have taken place in a prison yard. Hopkins is dirty; constant low blows, head butts, wrestling moves, **** talking, lying to the ref, brilliant stuff.

Extremly scrapy fight, but there is a lot of spike between the two, and definetley worth a watch.

 

im watching Basilio vs Jordan just now

 

Watched two JC Chavez fights today - Martinez and Ruben Castillo.
Two tremendous fights - both guys start off trying to box-and-move but Chavez cuts the ring off well and forces them both to fight.
Both fights have a classic round in them (rd 5 in the Martinez fight and the last round against Castillo) and while they might not be all-time classics, they're both excellent.
