Re: Boxing Off-Topic

the hbo legendary nights piece on this fight is excellent as well.....still can't believe they never released that remarkable documentary series on dvd. or even added more fights to series for that matter.

I think most of them are on YouTube. For such a short documentary (I think all ran under 30 minutes) they managed to analysis the buildup, the prefight, the actual bout, and the post-fight very thoroughly.

I've seen it several times and I still get a quick out of Don King trying to take away Buster's belt because of the "alleged KO" in round eight.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Tomorrow night will be a good time to marvel at the extraordinary skills of Vasyl Lomachenko when he takes on tough veteran and current champion Jorge Linares.



Of note; Lomo's last four opponents have quit in their corner, including his last victim Guillermo Rigondeaux (ABOVE^^).

ERROR ERROR
EDIT: LOL, as many of you know including PK that's not Rigondeaux.

Good call on the Walters GIF. Loma will do the same to Linares.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

LOL, I was tired and dazzled by Lomo's speed.



Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux

What discipline. I knew about the two hours a day of rigorous dance training that he went through as a child. It's something that his father had the presence of mind to realize what an asset that would be to his son in his boxing career. Then you have the walking on hands and the training by numbers drill. He certainly handles the ball on head drill better than Kovalez.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

That was a hell of a fight. I think higher of both dudes after that. That body shot to end by Loma was just killer. Linares tested him well though.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I did not see the liver shot until the replay. I thought Linares went down from a delayed reaction to some good head combos that Lomo was landing just before that.

Lomo was challenged a bit.

For sure. Linares is a tough customer, no doubt.
But I also think he gave Lomo a tough fight mostly because of the size difference. Linares looked considerably bigger.

Outside of getting floored, Lomo still controlled the fight and pretty much did what he wanted.
I didn't get to hear his post-fight comments. Did he mention who's next on his radar?

I pretty much thought the same but a couple of the rounds were pretty close. After nine rounds the judges saw it dead even (one for Lomo, one for Linares, one even).

Munguia is an absolute beast!!
No way this kid can stay at 154 for long though.
Definitely moving to 160 eventually.

linares was pretty battered up to the 10th with lomo barely a cut....getting a knockdown against lomo is not an easy feat by any means.

it's pretty apparent that lomo is not looking to fluff up his record and is looking for top notch opponents to fight next. like i've said before, that loss made him better, maybe even more focused since he doesn't have to worry about going undefeated at all. just win titles, pretty much.
