Why do you watch fights you've seen dozens of

Kahn maidana I cus out joe every time!

 

Khan -Madaina, i keep hoping the ref wouldnt blow in round one so Khan could of finished it. On the plus side though, he answered all his critics by taking Madainas punches ,truly a great fight...

 

Short answer: cause they're fun to watch.

I've seen Trinidad-Mayorga, Cotto-Margarito, and Pac-Morales more times than I can remember - and Watched Pac-Hatton more than a sane person should probably admit to..

 

Moarales Barrera 1

Jones Hopkins 1


Dlh Mosley 1

 

Cuz it's fun:good
Pac-cotto -seen couple of times
Pac-Hatton--seen a million of times
Donaire-darchinyan
Donaire-Montiel
Tyson's fights--love watching him KTFO his opponents

I mainly watch fights that ends up in knockouts cuz it's just fun watching the knockout over and over

tszyu-judah is classic:rofl:rofl

 

Hamed - Kelley: the entrance and then the fight all in all is a great way to use up half an hour:good

Theres quite a few fights I've watched over and over; usually ones where the guy I wanted to win owned all e.g. Lewis-Rahman II.

 

i don't know why, but my most watched fights are:

Clay vs Liston about 1000+ times

Ray Leonard vs Thomas Hearns about 100+ times

Taylor vs Chavez about 500+ times

Mayweather vs Gatti about 500+ times

 

Schmeling vs. Baer

 

I seen Ali Frazier 1 many times. Tyson vs douglas has gotten a few sit-throughs from me. I watched Pac-Hatton about a million times, cause its so short and awesome. I seen De La hoya- alot too.

Most fights I see many times are mostly for studying purposes, just when I see a beautiful boxing exhibition, I love watching it over and over to I can get an idea of the fighters skills and style so I can figure out gameplans for opponents.

Corrales-Mayweather- seen it many times, outside boxing 101 IMO. Beatutiful footwork, technique, smarts, gameplan, and speed by a prime Pretty Boy Floyd. I can name every punch in this fight before Floyd throws it, ive seen it that many times.

Barkley-Toney- Inside fighting 101 IMO. Toney is absolutley beautiful in the pocket, using every form of defense possible, combined with a wide variety of punches, combinations and counters. I also know every move in this fight, as a result of many viewings.

Pernell Whitaker vs. Rafael Pineda/Santos Cardona/Jose Luis Ramirez- Seen all many times, as well and many other Sweet Pea fights. I don't get exited watching, I get intrigued by the boxing art and brilliance. I study all of pernells defensive principles, not really his actual moves, as well as how he can punch without putting himself in danger.

Bernard Hopkins vs. Oscar de la hoya/taylor- I simply love technical and tactical chess matches.

James toney vs. Michael Nunn-A rare action fight that i view many times for study, mainly because I disagree that Toney was simply getting his ass kicked and saved himself with a lucky KO. This was the best of James, cause when your fat and you dont let him relax and do his lazy boxing, he has to show all of his heart, stamina, intensity, and he has to jack his defense into overdrive. Toney fought and excellent and defensive 11 rds, using great counters attempting to chase down the southpaw boxer. He looks great making him miss.

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Pac1/Pac2/Juan Diaz/Katsidis: My man JMM shows you how to make an aggressive bull pay for entering his personal space. He has a beautiful left uppercut, technique, and punch variety. He is the true matador.

Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor- The best 12 rds of boxing I have ever seen. Ive seen great high action fights before, but when they get intense, they get sloppy and throw technique out the window. Not this fight, beautiful skilled inside fighting with tight precision from rd one to twelve, beautiful boxing by meldrick in the first half and excellent stalking by Julio Cesar Chavez with underrated defense against the fastest hands ever. I don't even know who to watch and study in this fight both guys are super skilled.

Pacquiao-De la hoya: I watch alot of pac, not for study cause I don't really see too much skill in pac, more just a phys freak IMO, so I mainly just watch cause his fights are good. He never really shows me any skill personally, but with a shot oscar, he looked outstanding. Leaping in with the straight left, and going to the side(usually pacs right), answering back after anything oscar does, keeping the fight in the middle of the ring, and sporting one of the most untelegraphed straight lefts Ive seen. He hides it very well with body movement and feints, so you can never tell when hes gonna slip it through.

Martinez- Williams 1- I would personally hate to find a guy like PW, a tall lanky, far reaching jab, super high workrate and stamina, good chinned fighter. An absolute stylistic nightmare. Thats why i became such a fan of Maravilla who presented not only a great fight but a great demonstration on how to control a taller aggressive fighters with movement and counters. The hands down thing is w/e, but I do study his punch selection and footwork.

Mosley-Margarito- I loved how Mosley just kept chopping and chopping and chopping until he finnaly cut the massive sequoia down. Great show on how to nullify a bigger stronger fighters aggression with clinching and sneaking in your faster powershots in between. Also having belief in your power, knowing that you can hurt this fighter, that hes just a man like you, and not retreating to a pittypat boxing plan after seeing him smile after a few of your best punches. Mosley was a true dragonslayer here.

Also Ive seen Bowe holyfield and barrera morales mad times, just cause they were great fight but not for any studying purposes, they get a little too sloppy.
