Your Dream Fight for 2008

What that? An Oscar Victory? The more I think about it though, the more likely it seems it COULD happen, its def not outta the question

 

Yeh, it was brilliant being there, good atmosphere, one too many beers before I went into the stadium though:yep

To be honest, Alex did what he normally does, comes out in the opening rounds like a pensioner. Foster was definetely better than he expected, in terms of his brawling style. He clearly took the opning two rounds. After that though it was plain sailing for Alex (bar that 11th round hiccup:yep ), superior boxing skills, awesome range of punches. Foster is a tough wee nut, pretty dirty though, wouldn't let Arthur get more than three punches in before he hugged him. All in all though, both, arthur took him lightly and Foster was a better wee fighter than expected.

 

That happened to me at JC v Kessler I thought AA would get him out of there quicker, but like you said, a mixture of both. Who is his realistic next opp?

 

I disagree. Floyd was able to deal with Oscars size and power because he was able to slip and roll all of his punches. Cotto gets hit way too much. Don't be fooled by Oscars recent win/loss record. He lost an extremely close fight to Floyd, lost to the current Light Heavy Champ, and lost a very controversial fight to a much fresher Mosley that Cotto just barely beat. Oscar has shown to have problems with two different types of fighters; Fighters that can outspeed him (Mosley and Floyd) and Fighters who are much bigger than him (Hopkins and Sturm). Cotto is neither. Cotto has trouble with two different types of fighters also: Fighters that can take his shots (Mosley) and Slick boxers who are faster than him (Paulie at times, Judah at times, Mosley). Now, in all Fairness Cotto is undefeated, thats why I put "at times". Oscar is tougher and better technically then all formerly mentioned, also hits harder, and has better hand speed then Cotto....although it's close with 'one punch' speed, you will see the difference when both put combinations together, Oscars puts punches together much faster. Also, think about the size disparity. Cotto looked small next to shane, and appeared weaker then him in the ring as he was the one retreating in the end.

No way. :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl Don King better get on his knees :yep

 

Worse thing was the meadowbank stadium where the fight was didnt have a bar, so we ended up downing all our drink before we got in. By the 2nd undercard fight I was swaying like a mother****er.:rofl

Realistic.......I reckon Frank will set him up with the Mitchell - Johanssen winner, and then a big fight at Edinburgh Castle probably against JMM(Only if he loses to Pac). I don't think Alex wins his big fight at the castle if its against a top 4 Super Feather, but it will be some event, and again good for our domestic scene.

Ultimately though, it lies with that snake Frank Warren.

 

I had to stand in a queue for nearly an hour for a beer inside the millennium stadium in cardiff!:twisted: I hope AA gets a big fight, although I share your reservations of can he beat any of the big four:huh
