Jesus Chavez was getting lit up at close range... it was gutsy of him that he was even trying as hard as he was... He was quietly taking a terrible beating... Yes, I watched it live and the only surprising thing was that his corner had the decency to retire him, I was sure they'd send him out there to get beat on some more
Carlos Masussa vs Vivian Harris That sh!t was weird, Harris looked fast and strong, Maussa looked sloppy and no power but got the KO after Harris punched himself out.
it's not a question of whether you thought the fight should be stopped - it's a question of whether you expected it to be. and apparently, you did not. and so i'm right! it was a wtf moment. case closed. no more discussion of this. i'm right and everyone else is wrong.
Lederman's card was ridiculous that night. Chavez was getting killed in there, that fight is a testament to both his heart and Floyd's accuracy.
Chavez was BRAVE but Not Much Else...The Fight was an UPHILL Battle that Chavez was CLEARLY Losing & as the Rounds Progressed, he Absorbed More & MORE Punishment... HARDLY a 'WTF" Moment... REEDhno:
guys here said Jirov was ROBBED! Toney was landing clean-as-a-whistle, flush shots every single round
That was weird as hell What is funny is that Starling was sharp as a tack that night, he looked sensational The bell rings, Molinares starts a punch and Starling reacts with one of his own, Molinares' cheap shot gets there first... Starling says he never knew he was knocked out
it's funny cuz Chez and them are like "it caught him high on the forehead" i've seen replays though where it looks more like mike's forearm just grazes his head
Damn right I once sparred with Art Hafey in a gym in Los Angeles back in '73 I was doing great, jabbing the daylights out of him, clowning him really And then, wouldn't you know it? - 17 seconds into the first round he lets loose with an overhand right that caught the frizzy ends of my hair Next thing I know, I am looking up at the locker room ceiling I know this game, Pal
I like when I make you laugh You and I hate each other in boxing terms, but you will always laugh if I make a good joke, I appreciate that::
We are warriors, those of us who have laced 'em up I was eliminated in the Muir Gloves Tournament in Boise, Idaho back in '84... got stopped on a cut by some guy called "Crumble" I know this game
That post-fight interview was classic. I don't think Starling was being a poor sport or anything, the guy just had no recollection of getting knocked cold. "He's not a champion.....When? Was I out" "He didn't hit me" "Do I looked dazed or knocked out?" Larry Merchant: Well you only have to be down for 10 seconds. Marlon: I wasn't knocked down!!!
