Think of 5 devastating performances

[kallsop]

Nobody has ever done that to Jop and nobody ever will. His chin is like cement, and Trinidad exposed it.

In the Hopkins fight, we discovered that Trinidad likes his hands wrapped like cement. No wonder Joppy felt like he was hit by a brick.

Did anyone add Foreman-Lyle yet? What a great slugfest. It's the heavyweight version of Hagler-Hearns.

Foreman-Lyle didn't feature a dominant performance by the winner.
That's what the topic is seeking- dominant, eye-opening performances.

These bull**** comments will never stop. Kid, when will you and the others realize that the handwrap stuff was all bull? Go and read to find out that it was a psychological tactic by Hopkins.

No, it shouldn't.

Chavez, as seen on a camera close-up...had entered the bout with an existing cut. Not a little one, either.
Oscar opened the cut up in the first minute with nothing more than a flicking jab.
From there, Chavez bled like a stuck pig. Oscar would have won, anyway, considering Chavez's best days were behind him.

This was one of the reasons I began to root against Oscar. I did not see the fight happen.. I read about it, saw it a week later. In between, I heard all about this "devastating" performnce by Oscar. It was more tainted than devastating. I knew then that the media was determined to make a legend out of him.

i have never liked DLH
i think his worst mistake was thinking that he was going to win over the mexican fans battering an already old Chavez,then by beating a PR great but quitting and loosing a close decition.

No, the thread started "Think of 5 devastating performances by premier fighters. I mean fights that would impress those who are not fans because the winner of the fight was a beast that night."

Nothing there about being dominant or eye opening, just a great fight. Foreman was a beast that night and even the casual fan had to be excited. Language is a wonderful thing, use it wisely.

Ask Joppy or Vargas if getting hit by a brick wrapped hand was only 'psychological'.

LOL.

You are so wrong here, buddy.

Foreman came away from that fighting looking more vulnerable & questionable than he ever had before.

Totally opposite of what the topic is alluding to.


How come everyone else listed fights that were dominant performances, & not you ?

You're just gonna try & turn this into a "great fights" topic, which has been covered a million times in this forum.
