His timing doesn't have to be great against Pavlik, Pavlik isn't getting out of the way of it. Pavlik's slow and his chin will be in the way of...
I thought we established Kelly Pavlik's defense and ring intelligence aren't close to Hopkins'. :dunno:
We agree on that, I enjoy watching Wright as well. There isn't a high percentage chance for a knockout when he fights, but I don't consider...
:lol: I'm also looking forward to Hopkins-Wright. :dunno:
Yeah, Pavlik-Miranda was exactly the kind of fight Merchant likes. He did "boo" the main event, though.
I was actually looking forward to that fight...I'd still like to see it.
Not without taking a lot more clean punches. Pavlik will be busted up by Taylor's jab.
The talent pool in middleweight division is shallow from top to bottom. There is significantly more talent at 168, which is why it's incredibly...
Well, according to reports last night's telecast may have been his last.
No. Well, judging by the reactions....maybe until he has his next fight.
Don't talk down about what will be the biggest middleweight fight in recent memory.:lol:
Well, I certainly had a laugh when some people started comparing him to Pernell Whitaker following the Mayorga and Judah fights. He's not close...
Anyone can do it? That's a ridicuous statement.
Miranda is at least a couple inches shorter than Taylor, and he fights smaller...and his footwork is poor, he had trouble setting his feet all...
Well, it's better than 111-107.:lol:
Furthermore, where is the progress? Doesn't a fighter actually have to show progress to be a "work in progress"?
I wonder who would make Taylor look that much different. He's just not that highly skilled a fighter, and his technique is so bad he probably...
Plus Judah's much faster than Taylor. Part of Taylor's probem is that he is so stiff and rigid in the ring...he was bound to have a hard time...
Taylor is strong, and he can get some power behind his jab, but his poor technique is part of the reason why he can't generate more power on his...
Watching the fight live, it did look like Miranda spit his mouthpiece out after Smoger finished his count of the knockdown (in the sixth round)....
Taylor isn't that bad. Andy Lee would have a better chance than Duddy...even now. I wonder how those sparring sessions look to Manny Steward.
If you wanted to read his latest, it's here....
He was just loosening up for his victory lap for when the final bell sounded.
Pavlik is flat footed with slow hands. He may throw more punches, but I don't see him landing more.
This is like the boxing version of the movie "Fallen"...after a loss, the hype flows seemlessly from one fighter to the next. Miranda was a...
Yep, and Taylor-Gatti would sell out Boardwalk Hall in AC. Taylor definitely has options.
I think he's related to Robert Guerrero.:dunno:
Taylor was busy enough and sturdy enough to make the fights close and take them the distance, that's different than winning the fights...despite...
I hope this loss at least ends Miranda's sorry bandwagon, he was a terribly flawed fighter living off a fight he lost. Miranda is the 160 pound...
He gave him too much respect, but he still beat him clearly in the rematch.
