Whitaker vs Chavez

[ferocity]

so you scored for chavez coming forward and missing a lot or whitaker severely outlanding and outboxing chavez?

all you saw was what whitiker was doing and nothing of what chavez was doing.

as you said whitiker might have fought the fight of his life but he had too.....

That's because he was the only one doing anything. He made Chavez look amateurish and average...pretty much how everyone who faced him in his prime looked.

It's not like a I have a seething hate for Chavez here. Zoom Zoom Nelson was one of my favorites of all-time but i'll say the exact same thing about his bout with Whitaker (which was closer than the Chavez bout). Nelson couldn't do anything with Pernell, which was more a testament to Pernells greatness than was a knock against Nelson.

Whitaker landed much better shots all night and controlled the ring and pacing of the fight through and through. That's about all that needs to be said.

i belive chavez controlled the pace, while whitiker tried to counter and move as much as he could

Bro, since becoming a boxing fan, I've learned that great boxers, arent to be ****ed with. Boxing needs more Whitakers

We disagree about a lot of ****, but this is true.

Coming forward doesn't mean you are controlling a fight mayne.

I respect pernal whitiker he is a great fighter with out a doubt!

but its tough to say he beat chavez, i remember seeing this fight on ppv, my first ppv and man i was in a daze the whole fight, i was so damn focused on this fight........but i saw it as a draw, whitker did some good things, but chavez was going after him the whole fight. close, close fight.

wow i don't even know what to say to this it was not close AT ALL dawg

[Cockyb]

da last time i woched it i had it 116 - 113 to whitaker!

it was a gud bout and not as 1 sided as sum ppl make out!

yes whitaker won it clearly but chaves made him work for it in each round and he did win his fair share of rounds in al!

[GTL]

he won all rounds up to the ninth clearly.. the last 4 rounds were more competitive. chavez was coming foward and getting hit with loads of punches throughout the fight.. pernell boxes circles around this guy.. u can see how fustrated chavez gets
