Who won in Ramirez-Whitaker I?
Collapse

This is a problem many Mayweather nut huggers have. They have trouble distinguishing between being the better fighter, and winning a round..
Against Ramirez, Whitaker gave away many rounds, even though he was clearly the better fight. He simply wasn't doing enough to win the round in many of them.
I still gave it to Whitaker, but it wasn't a highway robbery.Comment

Whitaker toyed with the guy the entire fight. It wasn't even close.Comment

Whitaker was making him miss and landing way more than Ramirez was, it was a robbery, one of the worst I have seen.This is a problem many Mayweather nut huggers have. They have trouble distinguishing between being the better fighter, and winning a round..

I suspect that none of you have seen the fight recently.
Whitaker all but fell apart in the last few round, and he didn't pile the rounds up in the beginning as well has he could have.
The bottom line... Whitaker was young, green, and challenging for his first world title. I thought he won a close decision, but he was not as impressive as many are making him out to be in this fight.
The second fight, that is a whole different story. Whitaker - Ramirez II was without a doubt, Pernell Whitaker's single best display of virtuosity in his entire career. It's what he should have done in the first fight, but was not experienced enough to know.
I actually thing the loss helped Pete out. It taught him how important it is to be flashy when he is working his defense. He learned it's not just enough to make a man miss, he has to make the man look silly while he is making him miss, but he also learned that it can be over done.
This is the fight where Pete really learned what playing to the judges is all about. He didn't do it like should have, and as a result, he through away a victory, that he could have easily won.Last edited by Nwahs !!; 01-17-2008, 02:13 AM.Comment
