Pernell was so brilliant as a boxer, even when losing

[mariobrotherpr]

In the last rounds of the Trinidad fight, Pernell was beaten up and exhausted. So he began to grab. At one moment, instead of "doing the Cotto" and taking a knee, he seats down in the corner, forcing Trinidad to back up and the ref to come. He effectively got a breather without letting Tito get another knockdown. Later, he faked low blows, with mixed results.

That's what intelligent fighters do.

Ok Max.

He even avoided a knockdown in the 12th by avoiding punches while sitting.

Whitacker was a great defensive fighter but is quite overrated,i am no ***** or fan of the wife beater but he is the better defensive technician.here is a guy who in my op[inion was better then both.

Pea was not the same in that fight with Tito.

Who says that he put a prime BADASS dlh to one of the toughest fights of his career,his later problems came from crack not his skills declining.

It's funny how nobody is/did attack Pernel like everyone did Hatton (over the drug use)... Different time?
