If the cut that caused the td in the 8th round had not occurred, would Randall iyo have come back to defeat chavez a second time? Chavez was ahead at that time according to the score card s but still time for frankie to come back. Or would chav have pulled of f this win.?
If i remember correctly the fact that Chavez was ahead was bs. Really dont remember details so tell me if Im wrong
Actually Chavez was not winning that fight. It was a war and very even. That fight was so low as they stole the fight from Randall in despicable fashion and Chavez refused to give him a rubber match till Randall was shot. Despicable.
Randall was ahead in the eyes of most observers. There is a 90% chance Randall would have won if the cut hadn't happened. Randall dominated the 7 th and 8th rounds. Chavez was valiantly trading with him but getting the worst of it. Chavez had tried moving and boxing after being staggered in the 2nd round by a single right hand. His boxing was effective but he started slowing down in the 6th round. He couldn't keep up that strategy for the whole fight. There should have been a 3rd fight as most observers felt Randall was screwed. The fact that D. King never made that match indicates to me that he felt Chavez escaped and wouldn't win a 3rd fight. He steared him clear of Randall and milked Chavez successfully for a few more years - something he probably could not have done if Chavez did not have a world title.
Same here. I thought chavez was officially ahead, so when the fight was stopped he got the td verdict. I'm a fan of chavez but that fight pissed me off because of the way it ended. It should have been ruled a nd and then a immediate rematch.
Spot on there. Randall should have got a rematch. Well he did but fifty years later? But if the fight had gone ahead Randall would have won a decision, if he wasn't robbed.
Frankie was ahead and was beginning to deliver another azz kickin when it ended, Chavez would have been TKO'D
Chavez wouldn't of seen the final bell. No strength left in the 7th, started low blowing Randall bad too ! I think he wanted out
