Fights You Watched Today

Great underrated fights from Saen Sor Ploenchit. Guy had 3 back to back to ward within 6 months. Incredible.

 

Troy Dorsey vs Rudy Zavala. Great fight

 

Games hof snub

 

Watched a bunch of Zavala this week, he's fucking great. Decima, Salud, Mad Max, Coffee and Cargle were all great. This one's next on my list for him.

 

Definitely won’t be disappointed especially when you have those two matched together. I do wish there was a full fight of Zavala vs Mad Max which ended in a draw.

Zavala was crazy exciting win or lose. Imagine how a fight with him against Zaragoza, Vazquez, Jacob would have looked at the time.

 

On the eve of the release of the Prince Naseem biopic, which looks awful, I watched a selection of his fights starting with the Robinson title fight and ending with the Barrera fight. There is no arguing that his resume was padded and his title defences were very much characteristic of how frank allegedly warren operated at the time. However, I forgot how entertaining the Barrera fight was - he always looked dangerous, and Barrera showed so much caution and discipline...it's a shame how bullish he was about a rematch and what was to follow but effectively it was the end of the road, the fire was gone.

 

Muangchai Kittikasem winning his first world title in an underrated Light Flyweight war against Tacy Macalos.

 

Very underrated fight. Good all Mexican scrap.

 

Theres a boxing a channel that just shows random HBO fights all day

Kovalev Agnew on now, I wasn't really watching but when they did the intros they announced one of the sponsors, some vodka brand

The writing was on the wall

 

Very overlooked bantamweight match.

 

Nonito Donaire just fought in Japan this morning against Seiya Tsutsumi in a war.

 

Absolutely fantastic fight.

 

Indeed it was. His other fights with Yakushiji, Bueno, Zaragoza, and Larios were fantastic stuff as well. Almost forgot just how fun the pocket rocket was. Makes me wonder how the Hamed fight turned out to be so dull in comparison.

 

Good ole fashion slugfests.

 

Not sure mcculough won that one.

 

Holmes Norton is a hard 1 to sit thru. If I watch it's just the last 3 rds

 

Anyone else think it could have gone either way, and that there a lot of close rounds?

Seems like most think Holmes was a close but clear winner

 

stephens was a brutal and obscure KO no one mentions.

it could have gone either way from what i remember, like i said, its been so long since i have watched the entire fight.

 

Agree. I thought it was super close.

 

What a damn entertaining fighter Saen Sor Ploenchit was. Sort of reminds me of Masao Ohba.

 

I've watched a few of his fights. His name should be pronounced Plowin' Shit

 

Uncle Roger had one too with Brazier, on the Barkley-Hearns 1 undercard

 

Absolute virtuoso performance

RJJ’s “Cleveland Williams” fight

Gil Clancy with the definitive statement right when the fight ends

 

One of the more overlooked fights from the 80s. 40 years since this fight took place.
