Ebo Elder Ko's Courtney Burton

he looked like his face belonged on the front of a Garbage Pail Kids card... (all the younger posters scratch their head)

got any pics...how messed up I cant find pics anywhere, but he looked as bad as I have ever seen a fighter.

got any pics...how messed up BADLY messed up! He was unrecognizable with both eyes swollen almost completely shut!! :eek:

Oh yeah he had his moments. It was back and forth. Elder's face look fucked up big time. got any pics...how messed up

my friend said it was a good fight, did burton look good at all though besides the KO? Oh yeah he had his moments. It was back and forth. Elder's face look fucked up big time.

Niether guy is top ten especially at 135 or 140 those divisions are stacked. Burton needs to hang it up. In 2 of his last 3 not only has he been KO'ed but he's been KO'ed in BRUTAL fashion and the one fight he didn't get stopped in was that abortion of a fight against Agustus. A fight that had the entire boxing community in a state of shock because of that desicion.

The same qualities that made Ward so well liked are there with Ebo. I accidently caught one of his fights last year while channel surfing. The problems with his dad. The fact that he's a musician (drummer). He's fighting out of my adopted hometown (Atlanta). Plus he doesn't know what "reverse" is! Ya gotta love him!

there's always a market for tough durable guys on tv, i know that's what everybody likes to see, only real hardcore boxing fans like some of us want to see skills, most people would just rather see two guys brawlin Hey, I love it all! There's nothing like watching two technicians ply their craft...but the occasional slug fest is okay too! :D

Well the commentators seemed to think (or thats the impression I got anyway :o ) that Burton's career instead of being over should be quite busy in the future cause of the performance he put on?? He did do a good job (just didnt establish that jab!!) which made the late ko such a shock! :eek: there's always a market for tough durable guys on tv, i know that's what everybody likes to see, only real hardcore boxing fans like some of us want to see skills, most people would just rather see two guys brawlin

Ebo is definitley a marketable fighter, i think we'll be seein a lot of more of him on tv after this Well the commentators seemed to think (or thats the impression I got anyway :o ) that Burton's career instead of being over should be quite busy in the future cause of the performance he put on??

Both fighters are low top 10 fighters. I think this propells Elder into a potential title fight, and the top guys at 140 would probably take the fight because Elder is not enough of a threat to wim, but he makes exciting fights.

I would have to see this fight just elevated Ebo to a higher level. Burton isnt exactly a top tier fighter but he is a decent fighter and has an awkward style. Plus he was bigger and was hitting Elders with the bigger shots. I couldnt believe it when Elders got him in the 12th round. The guys got some stamina to be able to lay so much pressure on him in the last few rounds of the fight. yeah that was a really good fight!! I couldnt believe that Burton got KO'ed like that at the very end...the drama!!! I had it 105-103 for Burton before Ebo took the matter out of the judges hands. Okay, is nobody gonna say ANYTHING about the praying?? That's more shocking (the silence) than the ko! :eek:

as i recall ebo is not a power puncher looks like diaz might have ruined burton for good

Neither of those guys will hold a major belt, but they put on a tough show. Elder is a tough kid who will always have dates on ESPN. When matched right he can be fun to watch, but I cant see him beating any of the big dogs at 140.

Neither guy is that good, but both are fun to watch. and both bring 100 percent everytime they fight.
