What fight did you watch recently/last night

[McGoorty]

What fight did you watch recently/last night ?

This morning i had it on my mind to watch and score the Witherspoon vs Holmes fight so that is what i did. Ive just watched Douglas vs Tucker (boring as hell) and Tyson vs Pinklon Thomas.

What fight did you watch recently or today?

Just saw DARCY v George CHIP, And DARCY WHIPPED him in EVERY ROUND !!!!, But Chip was a tough bugger, lasted 9 rounds. Chip hit Darcy with 3 beautiful and his biggest bombs, and Les didn't budge, just PUNISHES HIM. Great performance,....

[The Surgeon]

Just this second finished watching Mayweather vs Burton, brilliant fight. Burton brings his A game on this occasion and makes Floyd work for the win, for his part Mayweather shows incredible skill, a glimpse of his toughness too as he takes more shots than usual coming off his first real lay off and with his nose bust and hand damaged ends the fight with about 5 or 6 lefts to body and head

Ted Kid Lewis vs Johnny Basham

London 1920

The Happy Warrior Basham trying to reclaim the belt Lewis took from him in their previous bout came to fight full of confidence, even betting £1000 on himself

Lewis ended it in the 19th with a vicious left hand to the jaw

[The Surgeon]

Joe Louis vs Max Shmeling

1938 Yankee Stadium

Louis was Ruthless and clinical in this one, i could watch it over and over....

Watched alot of build up to it first including clips of Schmeling sparring/ having an exhibition with Jack Dempsey, something that i hadnt seen before

[The Surgeon]

Henry Armstrong vs Lou Ambers

Ike Williams vs Beau Jack

[SCtrojansbaby]

I watched Pryor vs Cervantes

[The Surgeon]

Just watched the SRR vs Turpin rematch again

I still cant understand how Randy got up from that VICIOUS Right hand in the 10th......
It was a decapitator!

Add these for today too:

Foreman vs Chuvalo, Gullick and the first Peralta fight

Edwin Rodriguez vs George Armenta

Round 1, first round KO for Rodriguez
who knocked Armenta with a hard left hook to the body

Prenice Brewer vs Chris Fernandez

Round 1 Prenice Brewer

Prenice Brewer scored with the jab early and let
his combos go he did lay inside too much mid
round but landed the cleaner punches imo

Round 2 Prenice Brewer

Scrappy round early but Brewer managed to land
counters down the stretch although he did get
wobbled by a right hand toward the end of
the round

Round 3 Prenice Brewer

Landed the effective counter punches from range
although he did lay inside a bit too much early on

Rouns 4 Prenice Brewer

Prenice Brewer let his hands go in fast combination
as was more active this round

Round 5 Prenice Brewer

Prenice Brewer when back to using the jab and keeping it
long as he countered effectively from the outside, that
said he did lay inside a bit toward the end of the round
but still took it imo

Round 6 Prenice Brewer

You could of given Fernandez a share of the 2 round because
he did hurt Brewer.

Brewer showed a good jab, good countering skills, fast hands and an ability to fight inside, negatives are
that he fought inside too much instead of utilizing his height and reach and got
caught from time to time with the left hook, good defense but a bit leaky a times
as he drops his hands sometimes or throws the uppercut from outside.

Above all needs to stop languishing on the inside so much and stick to
using his legs & jab.

Sechew Powell vs Latimore

Round 1 Sechew Powell

Fairly close round with Powell landing the cleaner
punches but Latimore the busier guy

Round 2 Latimore

I felt Latimore just edged the round on his consistency


Round 3 Sechew Powell

Powell did a better job of countering Latimore's aggression,
he seemed to use more of the ring this round to

Round 4 Latimore
Tough round to score because Powell landed
hard clean punches on Powell early but Latimore came
back and hurt Powell imo.

Round 5 Powell

Better round for Powell as Latimore let him get off first and
did not apply enough pressure and got countered on the way
in

Round 6 Powell

Latimore is not putting enough pressure on imo and getting
picked off with jabs and letting Powell dictate the pace, although
Latimore put more pressure on toward the end

Round 7 Powell
Arguably Powell's best round as Latimore
came in and got picked off as he come in, he is not using the
jab and trying to walk in and not applying enough
pressure

Round 8 Powell
Powell making Latimore miss and countering

Round 9 Powell

Latimore being made to miss eating jabs and counters
on the way in

Round 10 Powell
Latimore completely outboxed this round as Powell
dictated with the jab that has been snapping his
head back the whole fight, he also went to Powell's body
in the last round and followed that up in this round
by going back downstairs, Latimore looks to have tired

Round 11 Latimore
Latimore hurt Powell twice in this round imo

Round 12 Powell

Thought Latimore knowing he was behind would come out fast
but he let Powell get off with jab use his legs and dictate
the action as he (Latimore) came foward methodically and eat
jabs, toward the end Latimore put more pressure on but he
did not land significantly enough to take the round imo.


Latimore did not use the jab enough to get inside, his defense let him
down when he did try to apply pressure, he eat the jab of Powell
all night long and the pressure he did put on was not enough as he would allow
Powell to get off first and move. Powell deserved to win as he fought to a plan and
looked switched on throughout the fight, he had the eye of tiger in this fight and you
could see the focus in the way he fought. Powell scored well with the jab throughout
and used his legs and these tight little turns to slip and roll away from the wide shots
of Latimore, who coincidentally hardly went to the body when he needed to with a guy
with such upperbodymovement, Powell does have a good defense but he does drop
his left hand when out of range, he also got hurt a few times in this fight and
looked to hold on a couple of times, that said he fought to a plan and his focus and
superior defense, ring generalship was enough to see off the more crude Latimore.

ARMADNO URSUA VS HILARIO ZAPATA
WBC 108 TITLE. FEBRUARY 6, 1982

For two years, Zapata dominated the 108 pound division with slick movement, radar like defense, and sharp counterpunching. He was a slick southpaw, comparable to Pernell Whitaker or Ivan Calderon. In the Ursua fight, he changed his style completely. In round 1, he jumped on Ursua, landing one power punch after another. In the second round, Zapata continued his aggression until he was knocked down by a ripping combination by Ursua. Ursua jumped on Zapata, only to be rocked and dropped by a sizzling Zapata right hook. A tremendous classic round that came to an end when Zapata walked into a most vicious left hook, ending his reign as the best 108 pound fighter on the planet. A 2nd round, shocking kayo by Ursua.

WBA 118 pound title. November 22, 1986
Bernando Pinango vs Simon Skosuna

A tremendous war. Round 7 was a brutal round. A fight in which both men took ridiculous amount of punishment. A very close fight going into the 15th and final round, a round in which Pinango battered Skosuna from pillar to post. With less than 15 seconds left, Pinango finally put Skosuna away and retained his WBA title. A must see fight!!!!!!!

Maidana vs Morales
April 9, 2011
interim WBA Light Welterweight Championship

Just finished watching this fight again. It's always good to be reminded of why guys like Morales are so liked in this sport. A true heart of a warrior.
