As you might know, Amir Imam lost Saturday, and pretty badly too. He lost every round but the first.
I can't believe people thought he was going to be the next big thing at 140, despite not having done jack shit yet.
If you wanna watch for yourself, here's the fight: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k76btSEASCsulce6JrR

His defense was horrendous. You could see after the early knockdown he thought he could afford to play and posture with Granados who defiantly proceeded to blow up in Imams face with his fists. Nothing against Imam but a very satisfying watch.
Must have been Allah's will for him to lose ?
In the first round he looked dynamite. The rest of the fight he couldn't keep Granados off, and his tendency to hold his fist out like a measuring stick was almost Klitschko-like, except for the fact that it didn't work at all and Granados just ducked under the arm and continuously punched.
Didn't know anything about him, still know almost nothing positive about him, except he can take a lot of shots.
I'll be watching that fight tonite on a replay!Quote:

Not when it was happening ;D. It is nuggets like this that get lost under the radar, forgotten when votes for year end "upsets" and underdogs are counted.Quote:
