I enjoyed the fight. I thought Vera won a few more rounds than he was given credit for, but there is no doubt he lost the fight.
McEwan seemed less robotic than Andy Lee.
The thing is... am I the only won who thought Vera was fighting a bit like Fred Sanford?

For what it's worth I think Lee would destroy McEwan.Quote:

I just wish he would use his jab more. Like a lot more. And straighten up his punches or least tighten up his hook.
When he lands that right hand he hurt the guy, but damn he looked sloppy.
Amazing how quickly you can go from an undefeated record, to a journeymen in the sport of boxing.
Here is the thrid part that some of you have been clamoring for. I thought I'd posted it with the other.

;D thats actually pretty good,haha.Veras a tough,scrappy sob but I think those 15 minutes are at about 14 + right now.
And McEwan will become another guys Andy Lee for a night:shinner:
Someone protested when I said earlier that "Andy Lee was pacquiao'ed by Brian Vera" ... Maybe that guy haven't read this:

Because you are using it with the sole purpose of winding people up to get a reaction. It is very childish.Quote:

Lee I see maturing, McEwan is pretty much now what he will always be. Won't even hear about this kat in1 years time imo. Might get right below gatekeeper status.
Man you're bein pretty harsh on Mcewan. I didn't know there was a type who can never develop good wind.Quote:

Well I think it's good to use new words, new verbs specially those originating from boxing instead of the usual destroyed, demolished, annihilated... ...Quote:

Professional sportswriters used the verb "pacquiao" to describe a basketball game, a football game... Why can't we use "pacquiao" in a boxing match? Coz it's childish... I don't think so... IMO, it sounds innovative to me, something new...

Maybe bro'; but look at Jermaine Taylor, one who seems to gas in every fight no matter how hard he trains. I work with alot of sporting dogs and getting them in condition there are always ones who run hot fast and never seem to be able to develop strong stamina, no matter how well the conditioning program. Now maybe I am opening myself up to some ridicule and Isuppose I shouldn't compare humans and dogs but I'm open to critcism by all means, but don't tell me all fighters/people are capable of being in the same shape, everyones body is different. All I know is McEwan sure seemed to start gassing early; I was surprised he went the distance, and when he steps up he'll get battered, imo.

And to be fair that was the 1st time I have seen hiim so I am being pretty hard on him. My bad. I still say he gets ktfo in the near future;D
Gotta agree,I always hate to pull the rug out from a guy prematurely as far as what they can achieve.....but I just see in McEwan as an also ran type,one that has a really hard time settling down,tons of wasted energy bouncing around all over the place early on and getting himself winded when he might of had some spots to capitalize on in later rounds.Activity is good but he really seemed like he didn't know when/how to be aggressive or use height and box consistently.And along the ropes...forget about it.Straight in the air leaning back,I think a diligent body puncher will have him bent over & running into head shots as he goes.Time will tell,but I think hes got an up hill battle.Roach a huge plus,but he cant fight for him.Quote:

Pacquiao is not exactly a new term in your posts even if the context is different. Truly this is not innovation merely repackaged regurgitation and certainly just an excuse to bring PACs name into something that has no relevance. Vera was getting whooped from pillar to post until he finally caught Lee in the end rounds when Lee was gassing. So if by Paquiaoed you mean winning a fight with ease and then running out of steam and getting caught, then you have a point, otherwise there is no relevance.Quote:
