Really though, is noone else a bit sickened by Ray's incredible negativity in that one? History's totally forgotten it given what Duran did (a UK...
I think the spirit of the thread should factor in talent at the weight class. And at the time of the fight.
C'mon steve, clap your hands!
Ok, everybody now - DURAN! DURAN! DURAN! DURAN! :cheers:
Not really. Duran won the fight that mattered between both guys fully prepared, inside a boxing ring rather than sprawling canvas playing fields.
In a regulation sized ring, Duran wins again. No question about it.
Seriously don't get me started. He didn't 'choose' to do anything, he just couldn't execute the strategy he managed to win 4 rounds of 7 with in...
Duran-Leonard I Charles-Moore Charles-Burley Robinson-Gavillan Hopkins-Jones I Saddler-Pep Leonard-Hearns Harada-Jofre Whitaker-Chavez (diminished...
This is not only a thread idea I've done before but with the exact same title! :Steve-Dave/MMA:
Gotta keep on the ball with these issues. Public awareness is always a boulder rolling down a hill.
Leonard: most Hearns I least Duran II. Urgh.
Just my monthly reminder to fightbeat that Leonard demanded a 24 fucking foot ring in the Duran rematch then galloped around every inch of it like...
yeah, per quarter one missed weekend (however many fights) can get replaced with the average for the rest of the quarter. Slips of mind happen....
Nah, he won clear, tbh.
Wide decision win for Hearns I think. 11-4, maybe. Allot of posing.
The Cuevas fight came on ESPN the other night. The 'Motor City cobra' nickname was so apt. His punches came out like snake lunges. Like a whip....
Easyjet.
He moved to 147 to pursue Oscar. Then had no reason to move back down because he could dominate everyone he fought at 147, anyway. Especially...
15 rounds. 15 rounds. 15 rounds. 15 rounds. 15 rounds. 15 rounds.
Struggling with this one.... gun to head gimme Spinks, decision.
I think he's the first 'unorthodox angle' puncher to put those shots together in flurries or 4, 5, 6. That's very difficult to deal with and...
Is there ANYONE Hearns isn't a 'bad style match up' for at welter?
Germany rules. I just booked flights to Berlin. £55 return, viva reckless eco destruction.
Nah, because it'd look like I was giving them for myself. On that note, Im gonna make a scoring rules edit, which would have given me more points...
I fear El-T harbours a simmering, latent aggression peculiar to his race.:scared2::scared2::scared2:
Part time wrestler, full time stereotype.
I wouldn't complain actually. It'd be an OK fight. Ortiz looks far stronger at welterweight. But the cynic in me just knows that a twice beaten,...
Betcha, betcha.
That ring announcer was a heavy mess btw. Somebody cut that hippies hair before they besmirch my eyes with him again.
I'd be interested to see it.
