Have not seen anyone mention it but Joel won yesterday,here's a report of the fight.http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...EWjxVuVld.html
I like Joel,I know he was pretty much schooled by Quintana and he does have flaws which he needs to work on but he also has alot of good attributes,especially his power although I don't like him as much as some posters here do
( a certain Bilbo predicted Joel would clean out 147 amd....beat Floyd ::** :o :o :o ;) :D Remeber that Bilbo??)
Very good fighter with a great corner...Whittaker and Breeland.
Julio has dangerous power and determination, but he was mildly exposed by Quintana which is a good thing that he didnt become damaged goods by getting destroyed... So he falls back a bit gets some more experience and some skill sharpening and hopefully we shall see him pretty soon in another good fight, Maybe Luis Colazzo?
i want to see him and cotto go at it how bout it amean i got cotto killin him but it shoud be intrestin for 2 3 rounds
He did good against "Davis" but he still got hit consistantly by every straight that davis threw, not good.
Personally I think Joel Julio sucks ass, never rated him, never will.
I know El Gamo used to think he was the 'Truth' but personally I always saw him as one dimensional.
He's not that bad. The constant jab and slickness of Quintana got to him in their fight, it disrupted his timing and after a while he just threw one punch at a time and loaded up on everything.
He's still a good fighter with a powerful right hand, a good short puncher. I wish he had more of a jab. When he leads with the right he really reaches with it, and he tends to drop his hands afterwards. He's always had good balance, he's always had a fairly good defense and good instincts. I just think Quintana was a nightmare style matchup for him. A patient puncher who relies on timing facing a guy who was constantly putting a jab in his face.
He'll be fine. He's only 24 now I do believe. Like someone said earlier he has about a good of a corner as a young boxer can have. I would love to see him face Kermit, that would be exciting.
His power is overrated but he has a great ability to place his punches an pick guys apart, he will win a belt down the line imo
Yeah hes only 22, he doesnt have a jab at all. He does throw some nice combinations tho..I watch the FNF last night and he looked solid. He was a bit of a headhunter, I didnt like that seeing as the body was wide open all night. That just shows hes not the brightest when it comes to stradegy. I wasnt impressed with his power, but he did pressure alot and had a high punch output.I can see him winning some fights against the top guys.
Collazo? Another slick southpaw so soon? I don't think that would be a good choice especially as it does not appear Joel has learnt from his loss.Quote:

I also like his short crisp punches,and he DEFINITELY needs a jab. Nice analysis. I was slightly worried by his performance v Cosme Rivera,Rivera is no more than a gatekeeper but he had Julio in trouble a couple of times. Sometimes,Julio waits for his opponent too long,and his lack of jab means he just rushes in,leaving himself open to counters.Nice analysis though Amat,I think the 24 hours must almost be up for your next well deserved CC.Quote:

He does do alot of things well though which is why I could not just look past this guy like some have (inclusing his fans...BILBO!)Quote:

I think until he improves his skills,they should keep him as far away as possible from a slick boxer.I think some fights against experienced fighters below top level would be good.Umm....not sure who though...Quote:

And that got him pretty far but Quintana was the first guy to double and triple up on the jab and Julio found himself staying on the outside. And when he does throw from the outside to try to get in, it's with the right hand and while his right is good, it's what put down his opponent yestarday, it's not a punch I like him leading with especially from distance.Quote:

CC in 24 Gamo. It's funny how these guys just disappear from discussion when they lose. Cintron and Julio both were prospects of the year by ESPN and both kind of fell off the map when they lost. I guess Kermit got the IBF but he still isn't talked about so much. Allan Green is a guy I see going the same way.
Very true,we forget these guys that just lose. I think Cintron will be back though.Dude,you are P4P,the most analytical guy here period!! Since I've read your posts,I try to pay more attention to fighters actions too rather than just watch the fight.What you said about Julio and his right hand is so true! It sounds like he has not learnt much from his loss(I've yet to see the fight so cannot say conclusively)Quote:
