Yeh, the hometown fighter gets a bit of a break off the ref, what else is new.
Yeah Laurence Cole was acting a bit weird, but Dirrell was whooping AA anyways....
Regardless of whether you think Andre Dirrell was really knocked out by that shot or just acting, it's a terribly sad day when "boxing fans" criticize a man for being a victim of a blatant foul. Abraham showed no class in the post fight interview when he referred to Dirrell as "a good actor."
Shame on some of you people.
Agreed. 100%
Gotta respect Maidana. He just fights. No BS, no complaining, no excessive holding....he'll just sit in there and bang with you. Not the most skilled fighter in the world, but can definitely bang when he wants to.
Nah. I think it's because he throws a lot of body punches. When he slammed Clottey, I was pretty convinced that wasn't intentional. Clottey sort of landed awkwardly on Cotto and Cotto didn't mean to throw him off the way he did. Never noticed the forearm thing
Yeah now that I look back at it I guess it's not "dirty" just more of a way to get a breather. He did it a handful of times in the Margarito fight. The one I remember most clearly was in the first minute of either round 8 or 9. Margarito leaned in to punch and Cotto threw his forearm out and pushed down on the back of Margaritos head nearly putting him down lol
if you're talking about the Judah fight, the first one didnt look very low to me. It was a little low, but not super low. The 2nd one was extremely low and looked sort of intentional to me.
Boring. Had decent skills but hardly used them. He's not going to put asses in the seats fighting like that, and I can already say I would not go out of my way to ever watch him fight again
What you mean?
just people who have no idea about fighters and weight classes. people who only know pacquiao and mayweather. people who think berto is amazing but dont realize he isnt fighting anyone good. "oh that guys sick hes fast and hits hard"
I had De Leon winning by a point or two. It's unfortunate he can't box for **** though.
Can't say i'll be going out of my way to ever see Broner fight again.
I dont really see Ortiz as a "true" Junior Welterweight. I have a feel he has a hard time making 140 considering how muscular he is. Look at how much he re-hydrated against Peterson. He weighed 141 at the weigh in the re-hydrated back up to 156 on fight night.
That was not cool considering cotto's family was right there, the fact that everyone knows his family went through alot watching him get beatdown, and anything could have happened condsidering the emotion between the two. Someone needs to punch bob in the lip.
****ING ROFL @ your sig. I dont know why but I started dying when I saw it. I just pictured it in my head if his actual nickname was Michael and how retarded that would be/sound.
