Naz's KO of Augie Sanchez is seriously overrated. Augie was knocked out cold by a nobody early in his career, and then John Michael Johnson KO'd him faster and nastier than Naz did. So, Naz putting away guy who had serious issues taking a punch, after nailing him repeatedly, didn't impress me much....and it impressed me even less that Augie was taxing his ass while it lasted.

Its not like Naz only stopped Augie tho, he made a habbit out of that *****, his last fight and second last fight where he didnt land his bombs went the distance, other than that only iron chinned Mcculloch and Soto lasted the full course and also a 6 rounder with the incredible journeyman Peter Buckley went to points but Naz stopped him in 4 not long later if i remember right.
Remember how effortlessly he bombed Said Lawal out? Naz was a puncher of the highest caliber and for my giro the best pucher FW ever saw

Surg....
Not arguing about Naz's power...and won't argue with anyone who thinks he's the hardest hitting 126lber they've seen. Just saying that I don't think his KO of Augie is one to cite....because Augie could be knocked cold by ANYONE.

Originally posted by The Surgeon View PostI get what ur saying bud, Sanchez didnt exactly pack granite in the chin department. I just feel like the shots Naz landed to take him out - just by the look and SOUND of them woulda took out better chinned fighters too (too presumptuous?) I do agree there are better examples tho

On a side note i know a guy who is pretty close with Lee McAllister who trained out of Brendan Ingles gym when he was coming up and he said most of the storys about Naz were made up bollocks - Naz being spotted making kids miss wildly in the playground ect ect..

Roberto Duran wasn't half the puncher above 135 that he was at that weight....should that mean we take away from how hard he punched at 135? Of course not, so you don't add to a guy's status at at one particular weight, either.

Tis truly a shame Hamed did not move up to 130 and take on Acelino Popo Freitas. THAT would truly be a fight to remember! Hardest puncher at 126 against the hardest puncher at 130, arguably. Corrales was up there somewhere, but he was too big for Hamed.

Freitas-Hamed would have been great fight to see!
