Actually, is it possible that thats just one person who constantly changed his name so he would still get sanctioned fights?
That video isn't bad. Pennelton seems to be a relatively OK fighter. If you look at his record, he fought a lot of positive w/l ratio fighters; obviously brought on because he was going to make the prospects look good. I mean if you have 200 fights, you can fight. Of his 160 some losses, only 33 by KO so he obviously went the distance a lot. In the video he showed some head movement, angles, and even hurt the opponent at one point. So basically..what the **** ever. I'd rather see him fight then some 15-0 who fights guys that are 2-30 every time.
The mighty Joe Grimm, never won a fight, never knocked out, fought the greatest in all weight divisions. In his fight against Jack Johnson, he was knocked down ten times and got up, prompting Jack to declare 'he ai'nt human', 'Philly Jack O'brien' broke hi knuckles on his head, he could not be koyed, he fought a who's who of legends but sadly, never won a fight.
In fairness, Reggie Strickland was a pretty tricky and durable journeyman who was tough enough to last the distance more often than not, even if he rarely won. Definitely doesn't fall into the glass chin category, and he's hardly the worst fighter to have ever stepped into the ring.
I'm referring to the original Reggie Strickland in the above post, who campaigned from lightweight to super-middleweight, btw. The second Reggie Strickland generally campaigned at heavyweight at the same time, so I don't think it's likely that they're the same guy...Though they may well be related.
there should be a rule in the pro's where a fighter that has lost 5-10 in a row shouldn't be allowed to fight anymore.
