View Full Version : Remeber the time when Sugar ray leonard..... triggerhappy 05-05-2005, 01:11 PM remember when sugar ray leonard came out of retirement to fight hecter "macho" canacho and leonard got his ass wooped..til this day i am still laffing http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/ragevirus/ray.jpg SnoopySmurf 05-05-2005, 01:30 PM Man.....what was Ray thinking? jack_the_rippuh 05-05-2005, 02:43 PM That's before my time, and I haven't seen the fight, but I heard it was abuse. I guess Leonard figured if he could make it to the end of the fight, he'll get the decision. Camacho made sure he didn't make it to the end. Leonard would have beaten him in his prime, though.. ottoevans 05-05-2005, 03:08 PM naw Rippah that was in 1997 jabsRstiff 05-05-2005, 03:15 PM remember when sugar ray leonard came out of retirement to fight hecter "macho" canacho and leonard got his ass wooped..til this day i am still laffing http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v196/ragevirus/ray.jpg You must lead a boring life, buddy. Kimmy 05-05-2005, 03:18 PM Leonard was so bad in that fight. He looked old and had lost everything from his boxing arsenal. Ray they attempted another fight in August of 1997 but was dis - couraged by his management, rumors were he`d been batted in sparring! The_One77 05-05-2005, 03:33 PM how badly did he lose anyway? Round by round scoring would be nice. jatt the ripper 05-05-2005, 03:41 PM he came out of retirement cuz he still loved to fight. Obviously he wasnt at his best but he showed his greatness by still trying to fight at the top after his retirement. Good move as a boxing fan, bad move for his career.

New to the sport huh??? jack_the_rippuh 05-05-2005, 04:30 PM naw Rippah that was in 1997 Exactly...before my time. I wasn't a boxing fan back then, I was just a Tyson fan. hollister 05-05-2005, 04:37 PM how badly did he lose anyway? Round by round scoring would be nice. I don't know the exact scores, but the fight only lasted for five rounds, and he must have lost at least three of them. He was the taller fighter, but he kept bending at the waist when he jabbed, and when Camacho tried to come foreward, he would try to spring foreward and hit Camacho with a kind of haymaker right hand. He was too slow and finally in the 5th round Camacho started jabbing over Ray's jab, and throwing left hands, backing Ray into the ropes, and hitting him until the ref stopped it. Terrible, because Ray would have mopped the floor with Camacho in his prime, and I wanted him to then, but it didn't happen lol |
