Khan's chin is so ****, he needs to be fanned with a towel to be prevented from crossing over to the other side. Lmao!

Jones Jr. body shot KO of Virgil Hill
Jones Jr. throwing rapid half dozen consecutive hooks at Brannon that went unanswered...Jones looked like a cat playing with a ball of yarn.

Originally posted by DionysusX View PostHere in SA, there was recently a Provincial Welterweight title bout between undefeated champ, Jeffrey Magagane (5-0, 4 KOs) and Ayanda Nkosi (6-1, 1KO, who was a tall, rangy, lanky fighter. Just think of a really dark spider). Anyway, Magagane was the local, and the assembled crowd was singing his name, dancing, women cheering and screaming as he walked out. (Dunno why. I mean, he's light skinned, and had a dope fade, but that was it.) He entered the ring and the crowd went absolutely crazy. The challenger, Ayanda came out to a decidedly tepid ovation. He's tall, thin, giant forehead due to his whack hairline, and had really white teeth, which were made evident by his dark ass complexion.
Anyway, so during the first round, Magagane, the shorter fighter, completely dominated, landed shots on Ayanda's face and rocking him each time. Ayanda was the more cultured, skillful fighter, while the champ had knockout power in both hands. Ayanda wasn't fighting on the outside and using his reach, but fighting toe-to-toe with much more powerful champ. He hurt Ayanda badly towards the end of the first, but he survived. Second round went the same way, and towards the end of it, the champ caught Ayanda with a shot that floored him, and the crowd lost it. Everybody thought it was the end. They thought another KO was incoming. Ayanda beat the count, and didn't try to clinch or evade; he continued the ****ing fire fight until the end of the round, and that marked the turning point, and the champ had clearly gassed.
Rounds 3 through to 6 saw Nkosi now boxing, using his skills and technique to make the champ miss, and exert more energy. He beat the living **** out of the champ, which resulted in Magagane turning his back toward the end of Round 6; CLEARLY quitting. The ref didn't quite catch it though, and the bell sounded. The champ's trainer went ballistic, ripping into him and trying to light a fire in his belly. The champ went out to try win the 7th, but got his ass beat so badly, his corner threw in the towel.
Nkosi became the champ, and I'm almost certain that Jeff is gonna retire, and fade away into obscurity.
I know it's not on the level of the examples you cited, but that fight had everything fans of the sport love. A popular, local champ with a home town crowd, a game challenger, skill vs power, comeback KO, etc.
**** had me off my feet, and clapping like crazy by the end.

I know everybody felt let down but when floyd beat Pacquiao
I waited years for that
I switched sides so many times
For 6/7 years everymorning I woke up went toilet,put on the kettle,rolled a joint and typed in Pacquiao-Mayweather into my browser
Everymorning
Invested so much into both fighters
And then it was all over
I finally had my answer and was happy

Flamboyant, sharp dressing yet hideous dude scoring a KO in the 1st round, having come off a loss in his previous fight. A young and supposedly great prospect getting completely wrecked by an older, but more disciplined fighter. A 4 Round fight in which the dude who was chosen to be the can for a guy's debut, overcame a KD and bashed the living **** out of the dude in the remaining rounds to earn a draw. It was in a small boxing hall, so the atmosphere was insane.
That's what boxing is about; pulling you in and making you go nuts. I think I'm going to open a boxing hall of some kind in the future. We don't have one in my city. If I could contribute to the love for the game growing in my area, I'll be happy as a clam.

Manny-Marquez the last round of the last fight.
I was so sure that Manny is going to stop him at any moment. I was really excited to see 'the old Manny' back. In those 2 mins, he looked great and fight looked great.
We all know what happened next.
