No, I'm not talking about Mayweather vs Pacquaio or other fights that didn't happen. I'm talking about fights that you missed at the time and for whatever reason, haven't got around to watching. Fights before you were born don't count. Mayweather vs Castillo 1 and 2 are two that I haven't watched yet. Pacquiao vs Barrera is another. I saw highlights but still haven't caught that one yet.
I still haven't see Andre Ward vs. Kessler. I still have it on my tivo box... but just never seem to want to watch it
Dokes/Weaver II The whole Bruno/Lewis fight The whole Toney/McCallum fight There are a few more I'm sure.
Very good fight. Cotto surprised me with his handspeed. At the end, even Mosely knew he lost the decision.
I never saw Pac-Diaz. I saw Lorenzo-Soto 1 after the fact, only to see what all of the madness was all about, but no other fight on the card, including Pac-Diaz. Still haven't see Ward-Bika and really have no desire to. I can't lie, I can live solely with the line results when it comes to Andre Ward.
I've watched every fight in the thread so far. The one that always sticks out to me, and I don't really know why, is Trinidad/Whitaker.
But is it really a fight to sit down and dedicate any amount of time towards? That's my problem with Ward. There are elements of greatness to his game, but I just feel like I couldn't care less if I see his fights or not. Then again, I was (am) a Winky Wright fan, so go figure.
I never found Winky as hard to watch as most. But with Ward, I agree, he's the kind of fighter that if you don't watch live (or at least before you know the outcome) he doesn't really make want you to spend an hour watching him.
I think it is. But I know what you mean... for the most part, I don't care for watching Ward either. Still, I thought he was very impressive vs. Kessler.
That's a good point too... but for me, that goes for any fight. I didn't even really enjoy Rios/Acosta, because I already knew what happened.
Too many to list but I did just see couple weeks ago Castillo vs Corrales 1 . I wanted to see what the whole best fight ever deal was all about . It was a pretty good fight indeed.
It's a Pretty 1-Sided Fight (Not Quite as 1-Sided as Ward vs. Allan Green, but Close)...Knowing how Kessler was Perceived PRIOR to the Fight, it's an AMAZING, "Coming of Age" Type of Performance... Kessler was a HEFTY Favorite & Even on Fightbeat, REED was 1 of the FEW that Picked Ward to Win... REED's Actually Grown to LIKE Andre Ward, After Pretty Much LOATHING him Early in his Career...Ward Started Off Trying to Fight like Roy Jones, but Now he's Morphed into More of Gritty, BHop Type...He's TOUGHER than his Exterior & Image Leads U to Believe...REED Even Liked the Bika Fight, Because Instead of RUNNING & Playing it Safe, Ward Stayed IN THE POCKET & OUT Bika'ed Bika... REED:Lok:
U're Definitely NOT Missing Anything by Haven't Not Seen Hopkins-Jones II...AWFUL Fight...The Fouls were LITERALLY the Only MEANINGFUL Punches Landed... REED Also Hasn't Seen Khan-Kotelnik...REED Hasn't Seen Alexander-Kotelnik, Bradley-Peterson, Khan-Malignaggi, or Gamboa's Last Few Fights Either...Things Got TIGHT & REED had to Do w/Out Showtime & HBO for a Minute....
