This is the first time i sat down and watch this fight carefully.
first let me say that Whitaker got robbed of a win. he was controling the ring the distance and he landed cleaner effective shots. Now, the fight wasnt as wide as people claim it was, after 6 rounds I had Chavez ahead by a point. Those first 6 rounds were a low blow festival, I have never seen a mega fight with so many low blows, let alone not getting any point deducted. Chavez in the first 3 rounds was ****ing on Peas hip and then in the rounds 3,4,5,6, Pea was straight up punching Chavez in the nut sack and on purpose. They were hugging each other badly speacially Sweat Pea. Those first 6 rounds were as ugly as Ive ever seen.
In the second half, Chavez started to gass out and sweat pea started to break him down with body shots and he was teeing off on Chavez face. Chavez was discourage badly, he barely won a round in the second half of the fight.
And I disagree with all the people saying Sweat Pea was putting this huge boxig lesson on Chavez, that was far from it. Whitaker won the fight actually by been agressive and firing back. He out muscle and out fought Chavez nore than Outboxing him. Dont get wrong what Im saying, because what Im trying to say is that Pernell did better when staying in the pocket and countering and putting pressure on Chavez than when he was on his back shooting Arm punches.
I agree. It wasn't nine rounds to three or something but once Whitaker got going, it was a wrap. He decisively handled the man long considered the pound for pound king and one of the true ATG's of our time.
The DLH fight was close i thought he won also!!!!!!!
i thought he just had to use his defense alil more in the dela hoya fight but i think it was pretty easy dela hoya couldn't hit him was getting frustrated.
the funniest thing ever was when sweet pea missed a punch and said damn lmao that **** was hilarious.
