Moorer KO's Jirov

[INFAMOUZ]

good win for moorer

[DR. FREECLOUD]

I don't think it was just one punch that took Jirov out. Although Jirov was winning throughout most of the match, each time Moorer hit Jirov on the face, Jirov's head snapped back, almost every time. During the 9th round, Jirov for some reason kept moving towards Moorer with his gloves really low. Initially, I thought he did that because he was going for the KO and Moorer's punches weren't having an effect, but then Jirov was getting a little wobbled during those last few exchanges. He either needs to work on his defense, and/or move down a weight class.

his gloves prolly felt like 100lb sand bags. thats why he dropped his guard. he was getting tired and couldn't hold them up.

It was high on his head around the eyes. Maybe Jirov needs to go back down to cruiserweight.

Thats what I kept thinking while the fight was going on...he was better at that weight and isnt really use to the power some heavy wts. have. He did very good and other than one or two rd's I had him outboxing Moorer til he got caught. I didnt think he was gonna go down at first, but it was definately a delayed reaction

Jirov can dominate at cruiserweight. I think he went up to heavyweight in search of bigger paydays. I guess that's not going to happen now.

i understand the bigger payday, but like you said, that probably wont happen. We know at curiser he'll get fights, so that money would be better than none at all I'd say!

It's possible, but if I were tired I wouldn't keep the distance so close between myself and the other fighter.

in a fight that was dominated by jirov moorer pulls off the ko. any one else see the fight. any thoughts?

i only have one thought about this... ****! now i'm glad TSN didn't carry the fight. SoundT, i'm gonna start calling you Nostradamus

why is that impossible? it happens to EVERY [/B] fighter. the distance issue was so he could lean on him. maybe not but the way jirov fights, coming forward, doesn't work when you have to drop your guard because your arms are too tired to keep your gloves up.

Please reread my post. I didn't utter the word "impossible".

Just when we though that we have a very good incoming fighter something happens . . . .DAMN . . . there goes Jirov.
