Tyrone Everette

A guy I have only heard fleeting remarks on and a guy quite frankly is forgotten. I'm interested in him at the moment and just want to know abit about him.

I watched his bout with Sammy Goss and he really impressed me. He's a slick southpaw, uses lateral movement behind a very nice jab and looks to counter his opponent behind it.

I loved the way everytime he changed angle he would fire a jab to keep his opponent off-balance and it is an opertune time to hit your man. Really impressive boxing 101 stuff. Another thing that impressed me was his judge of distance in regards to how as his opponent left an opening Everette was able to step in and land with some lovely right uppercuts and right hooks. Very impressive stuff, he could catch his man coming ot him just at the right time with an accurate right uppercut.

His right hand was very educated, his jab was a thing of beauty, as I have mentioned before, he generally used it as a range finder and a tool to keep his opponent off balance but at times it was used to set up combinations and was used excellantly to create openings. That is what I like in a jab, its using it to its best and not making it into a weapon, its letting the openings be there for the power-punches. But thats a different discussion. Back to his right hand. He used the right uppercut as his main countering tool, quickly stepping in and throwing it to the chin to set up his left hand. He also dug it in nicely under the ribs as a surprise shot. I can't stress enough how impressed I was about how cultured his right was.

His left was only really thrown as a straight and as a counter. It was very sharp and effective though. It was sort of like Zapata's in that regard, super accurate, effective and sharp but had a general lacking of power.

The lateral movement was the main line of defence and it was very effective, like I said, he used it to keep Goss off-balance and Goss was unable to really pin him down. In a general stylistic comparison I would say Everette is alike to Zapata, although Zapata had a much more detailed and rounded defence IMO.

Goss looked a fairly tricky customer. He was tough and strong and kept coming forward but it looked like he liked to 'find' somthing before opening up with combos, and with Everette's movement he struggled to find anything. This really stunted him as he had his best sucess when he let his fast hands go in combo's but seemed to be discouraged by missing his first shot and decided not to follow up, which was a massive mistake. He coulda been effective with them real quick combos.

I would very interested in hearing peoples thoughts on the Escalara fight? And indeed any general comment on Everette.

 

I could see his style causing problems for Alexis but Goss had some sucess with his right hand and Arguello was very effective against southpaws with his right hand and left hook. It is a very interesting match up though.

Out of interest, how do you rate Escalara?

He made afew defences but on film to me he dosent look to be one of the best SFW's and he had a gift against Everette.

 

Thanks for that, kind of how I imagined the fight.

I think he is slightly more technically sound than Camacho and uses more boxing ability than athletic ability. He was really a classical boxer in the broadest sense.

As lora says below he is 'disjointed technically', I agree with that he is abitty sloppy at times and looks to make quite afew errors at times. Herky-Jerky and awkward. Do you think Everett had a style that was bad for Escalara or was Everett just better?

I agree 100%.

I'm not his biggest fan either, his fights with Arguello are exciting but I just dont like his style enough to really make it one of my favrouites. One thing though he was a determined wee bugger.

On the film I have it says his name is 'Everette'.

Thanks for that good information on the fight. I will definitly have to watch it.

Again thanks for the info.

 

Probably just copying me.
