"OH!!! O'Grady was HURT!! Now with IRISH FURY he FIGHTS BACK"!!! :: Cossell or any other commentator says that today they get fired, for offending the Irish-American Association Of Hibernian Peaceniks.
If O'Grady could hurt Kenty to the body then the Spadafora that had problems with the likes of that Romania dwarf Dorin would be blown away by O'Grady.
Just read on Wiki that the Kenty vs O'Grady fight was one of the top 10 fights of 1981. Today it would be FOTY. Things change.
Ignorant ass statement. O'Grady wasn't a bad fighter at all. He sure as Hell wasn't Duran, Chavez, or Whitaker, but he was a good lightweight and if he was in his prime today he'd be the best lightweight in the world currently.
O'Grady was very solid indeed... Solid skills, hard puncher, great body puncher... Hilmer Kenty would wipe his ass with Spadafora, too
What is ignorant is to act like o,grady was levels above spadafora. I hated the guy but he was a decent fighter, and he woukd hold his own against an ordinary guy like ogrady
I said it was ignorant to say O'Grady sucked, cause it is ignorant. He wasn't levels above Spaddy, but I do think he was clearly better, and would bust Spaddy up badly. Pillow fisted, relatively slow Dorin fucked Spaddy's face up and realistically beat him. I think on the night he beat Kenty that Sean beats Spaddy by late stoppage.
You're the one who says that pretty much every fighters, bar the very elite, are shit, yet you get on your high horse cause i say that ordinary ogrady sucked ::
Yeah, I just said that Wilder sucks - cause he does. O'Grady was a solid fighter with solid skills, above average handspeed, and good power. This isn't Duran or Carlos Ortiz he's in a Mythical Matchup against - it's Paul fuckin Spadafora. O'Grady should be favored.
Spadafora was decent though. That's the thing. Beat a still decent Mannfredy, and a decent Sosa. He wasn't a total scrub
Manfredy and Sosa O'Grady beat Kenty who was considerably better than either of those scrubs and was well on his way to beating Jim Watt when the proddy cunt headbutted him into oblivion ... Watt was also clearly better than those scrubs Spadafora couldn't keep that feather fisted midget Dorin off of him , O'Grady would be all over him and he's got nothing to deter him with
What is it about "Irish" fighters and the stupid managerial decisions they make or have made for them :dunno:
O'Grady's father was one of the purest, undiluted gobshites to ever manage anybody Let's see... Forgo what would have been easy title defenses, keep the title, continue building your son into the Irish Ray Mancini whom you might also fight for millions.... OR act like Johnny Bigballs to spite the sanctioning body for not giving in to your silly demands, relinquish the title, create your own sanctioning body, and with minimal preparation randomly choose a murderous-punching, fast-starting southpaw to challenge your star son for his made-up title which he promptly loses because Andy Ganigan is exactly the type of fighter that knocks people dead when they fail to take him seriously... Yeah, option 2 is clearly better... WHAT A MORON
