Cotto Judah was great. Crowd was insane, we couldnt hear most of the announcements from the roar for cotto....
a few shoving matches near us biut nothing crazy.
There was one awkward moment... went to the bathroom and my buddy walked up to the stall... a very large (fat) man walked up next to him and there is a bang.... my buddy looks down and there is a .45cal berretta on the floor...
My Buddy, "holy shit"
Fat guy, "good thing that shit didn't go off..."
he then put his foot on it and continued pissing.
no clue how he got through th metal detectors.
anyone who has wrestled knows how hard it is to defend a takedown. and if you are fairly skilled at a takedown, you will counter their sprawl and slam them on their heads.
if you have 20+ fights you have a maturity issue. and if yu have 100+ you are not telling the truth.
Lol.....
are we talking pre or post schoolyard fights?
I know 2 people who have had a lot of fights (20+) after their high school years..... 1 is in Rahway on a long long bit... the other is dead.
ooooh..... the sprawl training comment. good luck learning to sprawl without training wrestling. Like learning the perfect lead hook from a textook without learning how to box.
I trained with Renzo Gracie at his gym for a few years.
You couldnt pay me to go on the ground with anyone lol.... the thing about BJJ that will help you is the positioning and control, not the subs. Good luck breaking someones neck... lol.
Your best grappling technique is a double leg takedown. But goodluck not damaging your knee not on a mat.
If your over 17 and getting into fights your just a asshole thats all.
2007
Pan Am Box-offs: dec. Jonathan Nelson, 19-12, in semifinals; dec. Shawn Estrada, 17-13, in finals for 1st.
Pan Am Qualifier 1: stopped Andres Camilo Erira, Columbia, RSC-3, in quarterfinals; lost on points to Alfonso Blanco, 21-10, in semifinals.
also won the junior olympics
he fought in the GG nationals at 165, his USA boxing profile says 141.
he was very aggressive and hit hard. he rocked his opponent several times. build wise looks like tyson.
his style looked to be like he would be very good pro. no pitter patter. all hard punches and let his hands go alot with crisp combos and clean power shots. his head movement was awesome.
i think you should add eddie futch to that list. thanks
he trained 4 of the 5 men who beat Ali
amongst his trainees.... Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, Trevor Burbick, Bob Foster, Alexis Arguello, Michael Spinks, MArlon Starling, Montell Griffin, and Riddick Bowe.
He has had 21 champs.
He also trained, and taught to be a trainer the great trainer Freddie Roach.
he also stayed with the game until he was almost 90 yrs old. He has received numerous awards from the Boxing Writers Association of America. Among them are: Manager of the Year (1975), Long and Meritorious Service (1982) and Trainer of the Year (1991, 1992).
he is training at the gym im at for his next fight. he seems like a very nice and humble guy, he looked good the few times i saw him fight.
any thoughts on peter quillen? seen him knock some guys out cold but mostly seemed to be cans.
Very nice guy.
Seems to have solid skills compared to some of the other broadway boxing guys. lost his last fight to a southpaw, but was on a streak before that.
He and Peter Quillen seem to show much promise.
what would really be nice would be if they would do a tournament type deal. Take the best middles, or welterweights, and have a tournament over a year. If you put one marquis name people will watch, but youll make the other 7 or so fighters into marquis names in the process.
