everyone from the states that is into the sport knows that in europe, they simply allow hitting on the back of the head more. for those that don't know, this is where your brain stem is.
last night I took another look at the legendary but tragic Benn/McClellan again, i hate watchin this fight but I watch it every now and then just to let myself know that this sport aint a game.. its tragic watching mcclellan in the first round and before the fight starts knowing it will be his last fight, but lemme get to the ****in point.
benn hit this guy about 20-25 times on the back of the head and they werent castillo corrales ***** punches. it partly had to do with the way mcclellan clinched, but the ref was physically afraid of both men. mcclellan punked the ref in the first round and benn made a fool out of him in round 8 or 9, I forget. the ref warned benn for hitting on the back of the head and he basically mocked him. YOU CANT ****ING DO THAT IN THE RING...THE REF SHOULD BE THE BOSS. ****ING EURO BOXING ***** REFS.
cast/corr was a great fight but lets face it, they werent throwing like hagler hearns in round one. these were full torso and legs into those nigel benn rabbit punches, they were power rabbit punches.
The thing is though, I think benn did that because he was afraid for himself because of that first round scare... and it was instinctual....
BUT AFTER HE GOT MCCLELLAN HURT, he kept doing it ..throwing those mother****ing rabbit punches at full force with his TORSO and LEGS into it..not just regular rabbits....land a straight right hand and then land a rabbit power punch, ...europe's boxing is ****ed up, i honestly feel sorry for ricky hatton for being from there as good as he is he employs the same goddamn tactics except he actually wrestles someone to get their head in that position then power rabbits em. that must be what their training camp calls that shot, a power rabbit.. note: i like hatton..dont h8 for me sayin that..u kno its true hattonfan_098..
My point?
If Benn/McClellan had taken place in vegas, Benn woulda been DQ before the brutal KD's and brutal punches, McClellan would likely still be fighting today and maybe have given us more good fights, after all he was a pretty amazing puncher. and he could correct his punches mid flight well, and still land a decent punch like if someone ducks, he can redirect and land a good shot on you..mayweather style
did you see the right hand Benn landed when G man was dazed before it was over..?? it was really one of the top ten most brutal shots ever..and not only that, he followed it up with a POWER rabbit punch. i just dont understand how london would allow that **** to take place and the thing is ...they havent done anything about it since then.
mayweather better not ever go over there and fight, make em come to us. unless MW masters wrestling beforehand... ;D
benn knew the back of the head was a lethal spot, he was a trained world class fighter. one of my favorite I might add. that's why he never visited mcclellans family because he knew they watch teh fight sometims themselves most likely and see him doin that cheap lethal ****. power rabbit punching...pfft.
