Obviously not the same doc from the barrera fight where marco looked as though he'd been hit with a Fecking axe........
....then again, they needed it to get past 5 rounds so Khon couls be credited with another hollow win. McCloskey is known as a fighter who gets stronger as it goes on and Khon did seem to be tiring so who knows. What I do know is from now on I hope Khan stays fighting in the states where the ref and judges are less corruptable (i hope)
Great fight. My personal fave is deffo Gatti Ward 1, round 9 in that bout was extraordinary imo (3rd fight was special too)
MAB v Morales 1, Naz v Kevin Kelly (pure excitement factor) Vasquez v Marquez 1,2 & 3, Chi v Brodie 1, Monshipour v Sithchatchawal and Burton v Ward are all great fights too.
Pac at 126 is extremely fast, hand throw hundreds of punches in a jiffy, has KO power, has discipline and composure.
Hamed once he faced fighters who aren't willing to get intimidated by him, he loses a lot of steam.
Barrera exposed his antics.
Pacquiao will beat him up worse than what Barrera did.
Remember Pacquiao is more powerful, faster, quicker, younger than Barrera.
But Naz in his prime was faster and more powerful than Pac and lets face it, Pac only knows how to fight one way and thats coming forward which is the type of opponent Naz loved to fight.
Naz was not a lefty he just chose to fight that way sometimes.
Well the shot he took on the chin whils sitting on the canvas was about as clean and hard a shot as he has ever taken and his chin took it no problem. Perhaps boiling down to make the cruiser limit was affecting his punch resistance similar to Cotto at Lightwelter.
Played it a bit its not bad, I played fight night round 3 so often I had over 20,000 online ranked matches and held the light heavy title lol. Looking forward to esports boxing which is shaping up to be a great game an has almost all current known fighters in the game
Taylor will find a lot of success ducking under Jose's swings and coming back up with well timed counters of his own. He will do some good damage to the body too. Excuse the pun but Ramirez is Taylor made for him lol. I can see Jose hit the deck once or twice too.
Thats a good way of putting it, it really is a transitional period in time, nobody has stood up with ATG potential its just a bunch of guys trying to establish who is the best of the bunch, I don't think the bunch is as good as the last generation and only Floyd was better than Manny, both ATGs, your other point about Winky Wright is not far of the mark either.
Good fight and Manny is definitely in with a decent chance.
Agreed but the annoying thing is that there potentially could be an ATG @ 147lbs if they would get the finger out and actually fight each other lol
”complete” oh boy
Hahaha are you one of those guys that discredits Canelos wins over Kovalev, Jacobs etc but now praises Taylor for beating C level Old guys like ancient Miguel Vasquez, C level Barychk, Postol ??? Lol
Taylor has yet to beat a great fighter or future HOF. Lol
Taylor goes life n death in a MD over Prograi who allot of people feel he lost too and edged Ramirez in a fight he held on to win just because of a KD.
The double standards are hilarious.
:haha::haha:
Dude is garbage he held his way to a win after doing nothing for 5 rds Against a basic average Ramirez.
Awa n dinnae blether sae much pish lol. Taylor put Ramirez back into his Gimp suit, popped his harness and leash back on and stuck him back in his box. Next time you see Jose ramirez will be right after ye hear Josh saying " Bring out the gimp" lol
I see Bayless took lessons from unfair and infirm Joe Cortez before the fight.
Aye they always used Cortez until Floyd v Ortiz then he was chucked for the Bayless and Tony weeks tag team lol. A shame coz until tonight I thought Kenny was no to bad a ref.
That's funny actually.
He hasn't fought in 3 years....exactly. And, he hasn't looked good in over FIVE years.
Do you think he has become a better fighter, by eating everything in sight ?
You talk some amount of shite by the way.
Try responding to a sensible and interesting post with some sensible answers man
I was reffering to the eat everything he see's statement jabs
I just get frustrated by the way people just trashtalk all the time on here
I did'nt say Cotto was most complete in history ( that would be shite considering he hasn't retired yet) however I said I though he was the most complete fighter I have seen and I doubt we can really question his chin as he has always came through his dodgy moments with a win and with Torres he showed he knows how to dig deep and produce results even when the chips are down.
This site could really be a great place to discuss boxing but its full of people who just want to sit in there homes and act the big man,
I would love to see this happen if these discussions took place in person.
There's too many young twats here who's sole purpose is to smacktalk people.
And there's always an idiot on hand to join in.
Im a member in alot of boxing forums but this one is the only one you cant actually have a decent boxing debate.
As for breaking your friends ball, well fair enough but thats your friends and they know you
every other site I go to people get a feel for which posters like a laugh etc etc then you can exchange some ball breaking and what not.
Although your stuff wasn't too bad jabs, it was not really needed and was not funny in the slightest and the post would have been a better post without it.
This is a forum for all ages guys, not all of us are tenagers.
If you watch the fight you will see the ref comes over to Tszyu's corner and asks if he is going to continue, at which time the cornerman turns to Kostya and asks if he wants to keep going, Kostya slightly shook his head,(thats where the brief confusion came from)the ref wasn't sure wether or not he meant no and asked again and Tszyu shook his head again and said "no" at which time the ref put his arms in the air and waved the fight was over.(It was Tszyu who quit, not his corner)
Thats exactly what happened, watch and see.
Morales will use this as a fight to prove all his recent doubters that he still belongs in the p4p list.
He has way too much skill for the lunging impatient Pacman.
Morales will be able to change parts of his game after working out manny's fighting style the last time whereas Pac only knows one style of fighting.(Morales is a very cunning boxer)
I see Pac being made to look silly by being countered all night.
I'd like to see the 140 lb division go something like this in 2006:
June - Gatti vs Hatton
July - JL Castillo vs Cotto
November - Hatton vs winner of Castillo/Cotto for 140 lb supremacy.
what if Gatti beats hatton????
Cotto is the busiest fighter of them all as he keeps active
Mayweather would hum and haw then ask for 99% of the purse and Hatton's injured so none of them are options at the mo.
Castillo is in a different weight
this could be a warm-up for cotto then early summer he could be in with mayweather(as he will need to rebuild his career after Judah pastes him)
or if Hattons ready it could be that one, who knows
It doesnt matter .
After Zab knocks out the gay boxer ( PBF) , It wont matter if the belts were on the line or not .
I cant wait to see how many people are Super Zab Fans after this happens , it will be very interesting .
I suppose the PBF v Judah fight will be the same as the PBF v Castillo fight then.
ie. It does'nt matter if theres any belts on the line as PBF gets the decision whether or not he wins anyway..........FACT
To be honest, imagine, A prime Ali has been brought back through time in a time machine, so has a prime Tyson and a prime Lewis and a prime Marciano and Dempsey and Tunney etc blah blah blah(you know what I mean)
However, there's not going to be any belts on the line so we better tell them to go away and not ruin our entertainment as this would be crap to watch................thats what I thought........ LEMME SEE IT PLEASEEEEEEE........
NAB made this thread becuz I :Pwned him in the Naz thread. LOL. Nothin to see here. Just carnage remnants of a hater.
Thats another example of you replying to someones opinion with utter bull****
Start trying to talk boxing and stop making excuses for your man.
he was caught flush and was hurt by a fighter whom I wouldnt even rate.
