Emotional moments in boxing for you

[El Chicano]

When Ricky tried to take out that corner pad with his head, that **** me cryin I was laughin so hard.

1. Castillo - Corrales I, watching Diego come back from almost certain defeat to kick JCC's ass.

2. Watching G-Man (who used to abuse dogs) get his ass kicked into a coma and then a wheelchair made me laugh so bad. Thank heavens for Nigel Benn.

3. Gatti getting it kicked against Gomez, end of an era, end of a warrior. Nearly as bad as Chico dying.

The only time I really get near emotional about anything boxing-related at all, is when I watch that episode of Legendary Nights and listen to Meldrick Taylor speak.

I respect that, it's an awful show of what boxing can lead to. Having said this, I can't assert that Taylor was robbed. He got schooled for the last four rounds, and was so out on his feet when JCC ****** him with that punch...

Watching Hatton get knocked out was really ****ing hard. The anguish he showed that night made me feel horrible. I felt so bad for him. In the short time I've been watching boxing, it's the first time I've gone through the "fives stages" the following day. He was the first guy I really followed in boxing.

I'm not saying he got robbed or didn't. I'm not a ref. I don't pretend to be. However, I'm pretty sure he was OKay and could've lasted the rest of the fight.

As far as being schooled, for four rounds? No. Chavez was starting something and in a 15 round fight, he would have won. But, Taylor took 9 rounds, ATLEAST.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah, dude

We'll agree to disagree.

Look at the fight again, man, look at Taylor after six or seven, he was flagging. Reminds me of G-Man - Benn, everyone says Gerald was on top, winning the lot, but in actual fact he was (not literally) dying in there.

Also, look at Taylor's distraction at the end of the round (read: Lou Duva), and how when Richard Steele said "You okay Taylor" he was staring somewhere else (read: Lou Duva), which gave Steele the impression he was ****ed, which he was...two seconds or two minutes, dude was shot.

If you honestly think Chavez deserved to get that fight.. I just can't see it Taylor won the majority of the rounds. He controlled the action, dictated the pace. Landed great shots, better combinations. More accurately.. more shots in general. Chavez, NEVER outlanded Taylor, not even in the 12th round. I'ma HUGE Chavez fan, too. Top 3 JR. welterweights of all time, for me. I should want him to win just as much as anyone.

But if you don't win, I don't pretend you did. He won officially, I'm not sure he did realistically.

NOTE: I've watched the fight, atleast a dozen times. Chavez does good. He just got beat by the better man on that night. Even when he's getting his hand raised, he looks like he realizes he is lucky to have won that fight. You could make the arguement that it's just because it was a battle. But he's been in battles before. This one was different.

Yet another ****** ****.

[ianwigley]

Yet another ****** ****.

Yet another ****** line from you.

Do you legitimise taping dogs mouths closed and then letting other dogs rip them apart like McClellan did?

Thanks Nigel, you did us all a favour. Now have a crack at Michael Vick.
