it should be on an under-card. i personally enjoyed the fight tremendously, even though i found it frustrating given ODH's stupid performance....
i give PBF a pass on the fact that his responses are "rehearsed," from the stand-point that if they weren't, it would be a disaster for him. he's...
i know you'll cite conventional wisdom as proof that i'm wrong, but in my opinion there was more skill on display in Corrales-Castillo I than...
He had his shades on, no doubt to hide his swollen face. He did a pretty good job I thought. Carried his belt in. Confirmed that he was retiring,...
Given that you're a Floyd groupie and not a real fan of boxing, I wouldn't expect you to.
exactly 2 years after the great fight. just depressing as hell.
ok. added.
Mel Taylor for one. And it's a case against deliberately getting your brains bashed in.
well, i wasn't about to ask. but bring it on.
thanks. i'm pretty happy with how it looks. :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Taylor's too busy fighting welter-weights to bother with guys like Miranda, Pavlik or Abraham.
he wasn't busy enough and he allowed himself to be out-worked at times, but i think "out-boxed" is a little strong. i thought he won the fight...
like i said, if i were Roach, i'd have been frustrated too.
ok. but what about those who predicted a wipe-out domination on the part of PBF? weren't they just as wrong?
Pacquiao/JMM II Vazquez/Raphael þ Calzaghe/Kessler PBF/Mosley Margarito/Williams þ Hatton/Castillo þ Mijares/Castillo Vic/Luis...
there's no way PBF would fight Forrest.
he's referring to Castillo and ODH, and the fact that PBF "beat" Castillo twice.
ok, i give PBF credit. i didn't think he'd be able to deal with ODH's punching power the way he did. and when PBF moved, ODH couldn't touch him....
it was funny - in the first round, ODH did throw and land at least two low-blows.
if i were Freddie, i'd be pissed. seemed like ODH was in his own world in there, not listening to Freddie at all.
Bull-shit. PBF didn't throw one "pull-counter" the whole fight. And if he had, it wouldn't have landed. He can only pull that off against guys...
yes! a lot of people framed the fight as a mismatch going in. most conceded that it would be close, but just answering your question - there were...
he just stopped because in fact, ODH was not hurt. and trading with Oscar was exactly what he needed NOT to do.
maybe. but i don't think there's any way PBF is gonna KO ODH. the only time PBF's offense bothered ODH at all was on the counter, when he got ODH...
so you think both fighters had to exercise restraint? in order not to dominate the other?
yeah. i picked ODH to win. so in that respect, PBF surprised me. he did better than i expected, obviously. so i give him credit.
yeah i was surprised he was able to take some of the punches he did.
just call it like i see it. seems like ODH could've won easily if he'd jabbed. for some reason he didn't. i'll never understand why. and so far...
what if they jabbed though? they'd have to sign a no-jab clause just like ODH apparently did.
