Thread: Weird vs Wierd

always wondered how fighters with unorthodox styles e.g. hamed would look lyk against equally wierd fighting boxers. any body got examples

BHop v Roy Jones is an example but was not that exciting.

Judah isn't that wierd, but his fight with Junior Witter is interesting, same with his fight against Demarcus Corley.

Jones-Toney
Ali-Zorey
Ali-Norton
Toney-Nunn
Leonard-Benitez
Hearns-Benitez
Mayweather-Emmanuel Burton

There are quite a few.

Witter v Corley was a good fight but basically any Ingle fighter can be weird/unusual/awkward. If they were at the same weight Herol Graham v Johnny Nelson v Naz v Ryan Rhodes would be strange fights.

Emmanuel Augustus prolly the weirdest boxer that I can think of.

...Yeah, weirder than Oliver McCall or Andrew Golota.

Well.. Golota is weird indeed, screwed without apparent reasons so many occasions... to me, he's hard to beat on that game

Carlos Maussa-Vivian Harris was a weird and entertaining fight between two unorthodox styles.

1 of the weirdest and most the wall in recent memory was Augustus vs. Ray Sucra Olivera.The guy held the back of his head in agony with one hand while punching with the other.Burton switched too body shots only ,actually landed double punch but wanted the ref to stop it.

Camacho vs. Pazienza. What a pagent of chest pounding shifty diva-ism


Wimpy Halsted vs.Tim Tomashek was between two oddball head cases .

Yeah, that remains one of my favourite memories in boxing, obviously not because of Ray Oliveira's pain, but because Emannuel refused to go to the head in case he seriously hurt him, despite the fact he would have won the fight on doing so. That's why since then I would root for him in any fight I see him in. Although he usually gets robbed

Couldnt agree more. I was at that fight and I was a fan of Augustus before, but I became an even bigger fan that night. After Oliviera fought Hatton he wasnt the same and Augustus really showed how big his heart is. Also also a great performance by Augustus.
