Dariusz wilted to Rocky Rocchigiani's southpaw left. Need I say any more?
I'm inclined to think Stracey soaks up too much punishment early from the fast-starting Honeyghan and gets stopped in the middle rounds, but I...
I'd favor Johnson to outbox Watson, though perhaps Watson comes on (too) late to make it close.
I'd take Quartey by late stoppage. I think Honeyghan might get off to a fast start and perhaps an early lead, but Quartey shakes off some rocky...
Exactly my thoughts.
I wouldn't rule out that he was shopworn at this time. As it turned out, this fight would be the 5th in an 11-fight losing streak that closed out...
Pernell Whitaker is not generally remembered as an exciting fighter, but he was actually fairly aggressive, and at times even explosive as a LW...
Sammy Angott was so widely derided as a "boring" fighter that he was nicknamed "The Clutch," but he was known to throw caution to the wind and...
Basically the way I saw it. I thought the 6-3-1 scores for Womber should've been reversed.
These are the 4th and 5th (and final) fights in the arch rivalry between Hammerin' Hank and Baby Arizmendi, which Armstrong ultimately won 3-2....
I think Rodriguez withstands Norris' explosive bursts, gets inside, and then wears him down to a stoppage win.
Probably the best performance of Smith that's available on film. EDIT: Oops, I meant to say best performance of Brown, not Smith.
Odd that anyone would bemoan a lack of fights to watch when there's a forum designed for that purpose just a click away...
This fight was considered one of the biggest upsets of the 1950s, as reigning WW champ Gavilan - who was unbeaten in his previous 28 fights over 3...
Both fighters have the look of aging warhorses IMO, with Zale being the more visibly faded of the two. You can see from this pre-War footage of...
This is some brief footage that I happened to come across yesterday, which I never knew existed. After defeating Gil Turner in one of the most...
Good comparison.
I haven't watched that fight in ages, but I remember thinking Everett won something like 9-6. I've actually seen decisions that were worse IMO,...
I think prime Holy beats any version of Tyson. Lewis is tougher to call, but I wouldn't rule out that a younger Holy could outwork him.
Maybe, but he resorted to every trick in the book to squeak out the top fighters he faced (Lockridge and LaPorte).
I would say Cervantes was greater, with better being tougher to call. I think that's more of an argument for Cervantes being greater rather than...
IDK about anyone else here, but I thought Marquez beat Pacquiao by an 8-3-1/9-3-type margin in their 3rd fight. In my eyes, that was arguably his...
Pedroza by foul-filled mugging.
Agreed. Medel sometimes boxed (too) cautiously, but once he lets the bombs fly I think he can outslug/overpower Rudkin.
Jeff Fenech and Henry Armstrong would each like a word with you.
Just thought I'd highlight how spot-on these two predictions were.
I see the Saints and Ravens each continued their recent trends of melting down in playoff games. Have the Saints decided on a blown ref call to...
I think that's overall a pretty good set of scenarios.
It's possible he had lied about his age earlier in his career because he would've been too young to get licensed at the time. Bobo Olson did the...
NO WAY Robinson can be omitted when he has a case for being as high as #1. Dempsey deserves consideration as well IMO.
Separate names with a comma.
