Ray Mancini vs Pernell Whitaker

Mancini KO 13

 

Those 3 extra rounds would kill Pea, Brother.

 

Mancini jabs and moves his way to a wide decision. Whitaker wasn't a 15 round fighter

 

Logic. :bears:

 

:giggle::giggle:

 

Yep. Whitaker would have a huge lead going into the 13th round but then would be promptly knocked out.

 

Not even with a half-dozen pistols and a bandolier.

 

but he fought 15 rounds????!!!!:34:

 

Hed need 50 to get to Whitaker.

 

No way Whitaker can go 15 and be effective, he never trained for it.

 

clearly, you know your boxing, brother:cheer:

 

I'd love to take the credit for that but its really just because I talk to so many boxers. Some of them even know my name.

 

:atu:

Yup...that 13th round was like a mystical wall of lead. These modern fighters couldn't have possibly handled it.

 

Indeed

Whitaker could be up 120-108 after 12, he then would see a round card girl strut by with a sign that says "13" on it and go "whoa, wait, what the fuck???" ... then he'd stand up, the bell would ring and he would approach Mancini, who would then knock him out with one pawing, range-finding jab

 

Exactly, he'd be completely out of his element. Once round 13 starts they may as well switch from boxing to MMA or gymnastics.

 

it's like Bobby Fisher trying to hit a Nolan Ryan fastball... just different worlds

 

You know this game. :bears:

 

I was an Amateur Star with a Bronze Medal in the 1967 Greater Madison County Muir Gloves Tournament, where I squeaked by on a split decision win over Eric Crumble:fightme:in the quarterfinals before being stopped (ON A CUT!!!) in the semi-finals by Peter McNeely

 

Well done.

I fought at the Sakatchewan Games under 12 boxing tournament. I was doing pretty well (4-2) on the evening. However i wasn't able to continue as they disqualified me when they discovered i was 28 years old.

 

I hear ya, man

I was leading Reggie Strickland on the cards when he thumbed me in the eye... I lost on a TKO... it was bullshit

 

Yeah the saying is true, when you fight a guy on his home turf you need a knockout just to earn a draw.

 

:laughing:

I had much the same trouble in the over-70's event. Like you, I was hurtling toward triumph when my real age (27) was uncovered.

"A man cut down in his prime, owing to petty politics."

It's how one writer put the whole debacle, & I intend to duplicate these words on my headstone one day.
