Frazier by beat down. You severely underrate Frazier, Sly. Severely.
C'mon man. He had that idiot (presumably) doing a red faced Indian rain dance on the apron for his attention, in an unimaginable din of screams....
But again, it's a perverse and unique instance where a wrong, unethically motivated call granted the moral victor the W.
There's perhaps half a second between the question being asked and Steele waving it off. I think if that'd happened earlier in the fight people...
I know,it's rare on these forums isn't it :lol: Fight, fight, fight to the bitter death whether you give a shit about your position or not....
Nah, I've already said I now think Steele probably stopped it wrongly & most likely for the wrong reasons. Though if I watch it again I might...
Certainly if we were in a constrained discussion like a bloody senate debate & bringing up one didn't allow us to discuss the other. A slightly...
:Thumbs: Sifu
This post makes no sense. I already debated the decision. In fact I engaged with the issue so much that I CHANGED my mind. But the fact remains...
I'm an empty tea cup
Didnt even know that
:lol:
I didn't say it was relevant. It's a discussion board I was discussing what was on my mind.
I think Freddie Zivic lost his second or 3rd fight. There have been plenty others.
Again, at a proper 15 round length there would be no interminable controversy 21 years on. Ditto Hagler-Leonard, De la Hoya-Triidad, etc. Down...
Rumour had it Marciano did, but I dont know the story behind it. Arguello and Donaire are two who lost very, very early fights, I think. Cant be...
BTW, 12 round championship fights suck so I hard I don't even have words. So many inconclusive, unsatisfactory endings.
Just rewatched it. I change my mind! :lol: Taylor was less hurt than I remember and Steele clearly just jumped on the chance to save Chavez' skin.
Time's always running out, but you get 36m to do the job.:truce:
36 minute fight, 36 minutes to incapacitate the other guy to the point he cant defend himself. Only if somebody fails to do this do you recourse...
Which had already deteriorated by 1988 IMO:notallthere:
Thats the best thing that can be said him.
Chisora is much better (which obv wouldn't be hard). KO.
McCallum beats Cotto & Trinidad 10/10. I'd give him a 65% chance of beating Benitez I think. Benitez stands in front of guys much more than...
Related point - obviously The Irish fighters come first and the Italian fighters start coming to prominence 20 years or so later on average. Its a...
Who made a bigger contribution to American boxing history? Gene Tunney Jack Dempsey Billy Conn Mickey Walker Gerry Cooney James J. Corbett...
ya
Plus thats 36 hours after weighing in. He was probably 145 odd by fight time. Actually fighting at close to 135? fuggettabou' it
Or to wait to for roots to grow before you throw a shot for added power!:bears:
