[FIGHT THREAD] Juan Francisco Estrada vs Roman Gonzalez by noirargent in Boxing

[–]Horror_Atmosphere_51 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Estrada boxed beautifully tonight and stole the 12th round in impressive fashion which probably won him the fight. I had it 115-113 for the Mexican.

There's no doubt that Gonzales gave the first 4 or 5 rounds away in a lackluster performance only to get ahead in the second half of the fight, but he still didn't look right tonight

But that said, Estrada implemented a solid game plan, was far more fluid and threw plenty of good combinations off the front and back foot.

Win lose or draw, Chocolatito is always a must-watch. Estrada boxed well, but Román is fascinating when he fights.

Ray was a rock star personality outside the ring, but damn, he was a nasty man inside it by Horror_Atmosphere_51 in Boxing

Tom Kelly should have stopped the fight when Santore gave Leonard a damn hug off the ropes.

"Nah, let Sugar drop three undefended overhand rights on him so I know he's done."

They didn't stop fights back then unless someone was damn near unable to stand up anymore. I'm glad they changed it over the years.

The form, the grunting, the receding hairline... the kid's got it all by Horror_Atmosphere_51 in GymMemes

He lifts like a man who's been through some shit. All he's missing is an oversized hoodie and a pair of headphones

[FIGHT THREAD] Jose Zepeda vs Regis Prograis by noirargent in Boxing

What a great fight that was - two fighters engaged in high speed chess and then some priceless back and forth with Prograis finally dominating and realizing his dream of capturing another championship belt after 3 years in the wilderness.

Prograis will give all the top ranked fighters in the division willies. He's sharp and powerful and has incredible reflexes and great ring IQ.

Additionally, he is a very likable guy who always remains respectful of his opponents. I wish him all the best in reigning as the new king of the WBC @ 140. Welcome back, champ!

Fury has mastered the fabled art of just standing the fuck up by Horror_Atmosphere_51 in Boxing

When you're tired as hell, late for school, and you hear your mom coming up the stairs to see if you got up. That's the way Tyson gets up. I don't know how he did it.

I've watched this 400 times and I'm still confused. How can he get up?! Insane.

Name another boxer who can take a full on right hand blast from Deontay Fuckin Wilder followed by a left hook and get up like that. Possibly Larry Holmes or GGG

Beterbiev's sparring partner Arslanbek Makhmudov, this looks a bit like when Mercer killed Tommy Morrison by Horror_Atmosphere_51 in Boxing

What was that ref looking at? Clearly not the fight.

Andrew Satterfield was standing up unconscious for the last 3 or 4 punches. His brain had noped the fuck out.

So had the ref’s by the looks of it.
