Dirty Fighting 101

As you might expect, guys like Joel Casamayor, Eusebio Pedroza, Mike Tyson, Andrew Golota, Bernard Hopkins, and Terry Norris make more than just cameo apperances.

Pedroza was simply unreal... he made no attempt to even conceal what he was doing

guys like Hopkins, Duran, Gomez... they were sneaky... Pedroza acted like a low blow or an elbow were perfectly legal tactics, he was totally nonchalant... Sandy Saddler was the same way, he made no attempt to hide what he was doing

 

Riddick Bowe appeared there several times too. He also seemed to foul plenty on purpose and interestingly enough never got penalized even though he should have DQ losses on his record.

Good job with the vid, erratic

 

Very nice job, Erratic. I didn't even look at the video uploader because I just thought you had found a really cool vid to share.

 

When I watched it I was admiring that the creator had to have vast knowledge of the sport

 

Watching that really brought back some memories. Barrera is one of the dirtiest fighters ever and really got away with so much. The foulfest of Hopkins-Echols 2 and Hamed slamming the shit out of Soto.

 

Bowe was dirty as hell. As bad as Golota's low-blows were deemed to be, Bowe's rabbit punches in both those fights were more dangerous and hence more dirty.

 

Yup. There are no protective cups on the back of the head.

 

And when you consider that certain people have more need for their brains than they do for their balls, the point is more extant.

 

Seriously? ::

 

Boxing, does indeed require an enthusiastic spirit for corruption. :crafty:

 

Thanks....Bowe often just committed stupid fouls for the hell of it. For a guy who spent a lot of time on the inside, he was fairly clean there. He did throw his share of low blows (this was at any range), but he was surprisingly clean in his in-fighting. Not like a Mayweather/Hopkins/Pedroza on the inside. He didn't feel the need to bang the top of his head in his opponent's face, or stick his forearm in his opponent's neck. He was good at finding the angles and openings and even showed some defense (yes, Bowe showing defense) here and there. He'd slip a hook and then as a result, get in good position on the inside to work from there.

He wasn't some sneaky guy who used fouls to get ahead, he was just a fucking hothead.

 

Golota, unlike Pedroza, made every effort to be discreet when it came to his fouling.

Trinidad, even with loaded gloves, could find no reason not to hit Vargas in the balls when circumstances called for it.

I wonder if it's some kind of tough-luck resentment towards accomplished amateurs that accounted for Trinidad's willingness to illegally assault the likes of Whitaker, Reid and Vargas.

 

The title of Hopkins' autobiography?

 

Updated.

I'm always adding more to this so any recommendations on some foulfests would be appreciated
tho

 

Another great vid :bears:

It's bizarre - Pac still looks smaller than his opponents at FLYWEIGHT ::

 

Rafael Herrera vs. Venice Borkhorsor

 

1.5 pages and NO mention of Holy?

 

I totally forgot about Bruno and his rabbit punches.

That Roger Mayweather vs. Pazienza fight brought back some memories.

 

Nigel benn was the king of rabbit punches

 

I begrudgingly approve of the way Lewis responded to Bruno's rabbit punches there. I bet he didn't do it again.

 

i havent seen that fight in years but i'm actually pretty sure he did it a few more times

 

Fighting "dirty" means using illegal tactics. Boxers fight "dirty" from time to time.

 

I missed this earlier.

Did L say that Andrew Fucking Golota of all people was discreet?

::

 

It makes me miss him so much seeing that post::

The first word that comes to mind when I think of a guy nicknamed "The Foul Pole" is "Discreet"

 

You may as well say Manute Bol was discreetly tall.

 

Earlier channels got taken down due to copyright complaints from Don King Productions.

I don’t care to upload all the videos again, except for this one, since it took me awhile to edit.

Updated a bit from the previous one, including clips from the utterly ridiculous Luis Lazarus-Ulises Solis 1 and Daisuke Naito-Daiki Kameda fights

 

Subtle scrotum shots

 

Agapito Sanchez and Teddy Reid were disgusting

 

Abner Mares vs Joseph Agbecko 1. Low blows galore.
