That Frampton fight might've been the best of the year. Wow.
The boxing card was free and great all the way through.Great now you tell me. I'm watching a horrible UFC
I had it for Frampton. 117 was a bit much, but 116-112 I was fine with. Cruz sacrificed power for speed. Frampton was landing much harder and pushing him around.Garcia looked good. Felt for Rojas though. He seemed screwed by the weight increase a week out. Size wise he had no chance.
Santa Cruz /Frampton was a great fight. I had it a draw. I can't see where the fuck the two other judges got their cards from. He had the leverage and the money, he should have had the fight in LA. It also looked like he hurt his right hand pretty early.
His body shots appear to be lethal.That guy is quick as shit. Damn.
Really? I saw a lot of skill there. His handspeed was very impressive (don't know his weight, but he looks pretty heavy) and he did a great job staying in the pocket and countering. He's a legit fighter.I'm not too impressed. I think Kimbo (RIP) would have tuned that guy up and we all do what happened to him when he fought borderline pros.
I don't know about mma gloves stopping KOs either. They mostly stop cuts and protect hands(the professional hand wrapping totally changed mma)
I do like watching bare knuckle fights though.

For the ko's, I was thinking more for body shots. I don't think padding really matters too much for headshots, unless the puncher is holding up due to fear of breaking a bone, but it definitely hurts more getting caught in the ribs with a smaller glove or no glove at all.
True, which I noted, but I've seen plenty of amateurs spar and plenty of pros spar shit pros or shit amateurs. You can kind of get a sense of how good someone is even if the competition is crap. If a dude is throwing 95 with no batter in the box, you can still tell he's got a major league fastball.You're probably right. I get biased quick when I look at the level of comp. I have a tough time judging skill in a vacuum. The dude he was fighting looked like he didn't know how to make a fist

I read this post before the question and thought "168-75 is M90's record? Man that's a lot of fights!"9 years. 168-75. Things I've learned about fighting or the business side or what?
Why would you want to watch a felony in progress? Margarito could have ended Cotto's career and life with his cheating. Do you enjoy watching the Rodney King beating for fun as well?
Exactly. GGG looked like complete shit. At the time of the stoppage, Brook was taunting him asking for more.That's a fucking fraud of a fight. If you're that afraid your guy is going to get hurt that you throw in the towel before a single knoock down, you never should have made the fight.
He didn't even fucking look at his eye between rounds. He immediately put a towel over his head and then started whispering to him, probably that he was going to throw the towel in because the guy (corner man) is a fucking fraud.
It was his right eye that was bothering him.Edit- re-watching the end, looked like on a bunch of punches coming from his left he reacted like he couldn't see them at all.
