Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Just watched his fight with Manuel Medina again, and forgot how good this fight was. Naseem Hamed was actually getting outboxed at times, and his head was getting snapped back, especially the one that knocked his mouthpiece out, that was a brutal shot.
Have to give credit to Manuel Medina he showed a ton of heart, but he took a beating in the 11th round. But credit to him he was winning the fight IMO, until he got knocked down twice late on. And the corner had to stop the fight which was the right thing to do, but i recommend anyone this fight its a great fight.

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
yeah remember it well..Naz was losing that fight but i think the KD's made it close.
also watched Naz's DVD with the inbetween rounds with him blowing his nose, i really belive he had a bug that night.
wasnt that the fight wayne mccullough turned up to and played to the crowd and argued with Warren live on Sky hahahaha funny stuff ;)

Yes it was Saddo the Irish crowd were basically taunting him great stuff, don't know about Wayne McCullough arguing with Frank Warren, because i've only seen it twice, and the one i watched last night didn't show that part.
Naseem Hamed said he had a bug but it couldn't of been that bad. Because he had to dig really deep to win that fight, i just thought Manuel Medina fought a good fight but the power caught up to him. Plus he wasn't a big enough puncher himself to really damage Naseem Hamed.

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Yeh that was a toughie for Naz if i remember right he went into the fight with a bad cold after the fight he said he would always go into the ring with 100%.
Paul Ingle gave him a hard fight in the second half of the fight till Naz found the killer shot.

Paul Ingle had Naseem Hamed in quite alot of trouble in the 10th round. Paul Ingle was a pretty good fighter i remember rooting for him, shame what happened to him.

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.

He was a good solid fighter was in alot of trounble in the first couple of rounds he had a heart of a warrior in the ring.
Saw him the other day aswell it was a shame what happend to him,its a reminder what can happen in boxing.

echo that 8)
manny stewart was ringside that night and went to Naz's corner and told him what to do the next round Ingle was knocked out. and naz started training with manny steward.
funny when you look at the tail end of Naz's career the writing was on the wall... bit like Rickys really.

I was really proud of Paul Ingle when he beat Junior Jones, its funny i remember watching that when i was young. Brings back good memories Paul Ingle used to be one of my favorites, would love to see it again but i haven't seen it since 2000. amazingly no footage of it anywhere which is a shame because i remembered it was a great fight.

It was 1 of my favourites to i had it on take for years and quite often used to watch it but some1 taped over it.That really peed my off :mad:

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Caesar Soto was a tough fight for him . After 6 rounds it looked like he could lose but Soto didnt wana know after he got his nose broke. It was a really ugly fight
Augie Sanchez gave him a few scares but didnt have the resistance to go many rounds.
Tom Johnson would have given a really good fight and might have beaten him if he were a decade younger . He floored Nas at the end of the 3rd but at that stage of his career his reflexes werent there and he got worn down.
Over all I think Medina and Ingle gave him his hardest fights outside of Barrera ofcourse.

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Hamed was a very exciting fighter, but I've never consider him as elite.

It was on the Lewis vs Grant undercrd in MSG
Paul got floored by a right hand but got up to wear Jones down. By the end Jones was tottering around like he was drunk and the ref still wasnt stepping in.
Jones was fighting on the Nas - Ingle undercard vs a Coventry fighter with Tiger skin trunks called Richard Evatt and he had to get off the floor in that one. He was also on the Nas - Kelly bill vs Mckinney when he floored Keneddy but got knocked out a couple rounds later. He was always in thrillers.
Surprised he never met Nas cuz they were being lined up to fight each other for years.

What were your views when you were 9 ?

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Jones-Naz was set for after the Ingle fight but obviously Ingle ruined their plans.
Then Marquez turned down the fight and they ended up with Sanchez.

If only he never let fame go to his head,and though he didnt need to train propley,he was bloody brilliant under the guidance of Brendan Ingle.I think it would of took a great fighter to beat Hamed in his prime and focused.
Imo Hamed was past his prime when he got beat by MAB

Well even though he was knocked down 3 times, 2 were due to balance issues especially the 3rd one. Physically the Manuel Medina fight was much tougher, Naseem Hamed took much more damaging shots, as his head was rocking back, and he even got his mouthpiece knocked out on one brutal shot. And it was 11 tough rounds instead of only 4.
-
Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
I watched this guy fight on friday night fights a few years back he was much older but he was beating this guy every round I think it was for a title and then he got stopped in the last round. Anyone remember that fight?
-
Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
Did he have one of those......a prime :cwm13:;D.Medina revealed alot about Hamed that night.And frankly he caught Johnson and Vasquez on the other side......I know but he caught them none the less.

Re: Naseem Hamed's Toughest Fight In His Prime.
I always thought Naz was at his peak when Barrera embarassed him.

Well your wrong he went downhill when he left Brendan Ingle, and Frank Warren. He didn't even train for the MAB fight, his prime was when he beat Steve Robinson. That was far and away his best performance and he looked great that night. Not that im saying even a prime Naseem Hamed would beat MAB, but he certainly was not in his prime when he fought MAB.

No way near Naz had lost the plot long before that, just read his ex trainer Brendan Ingles book at you will get an idea of what Naz had turned into, basically and ego twisted little dwarf he believed he was the new Muhammed Ali.
Go watch the Documentry it on youtube leading upto the Barrera fight it was embarrasing. Naz had lost his hunger for figthing just before the Tom Johnson fight. He was good but like alot of people think a bit over rated.

Im not a Naseem Hamed fan by any means, but i think he gets unfairly treated at times. And his whole career is based off one loss, when he was past his prime and clearly not all there.
Which is unfair IMO, when MAB got beaten by Junior Jones x2. And the 1st time was an embarrassing loss, yet his whole career isn't based off those 2 losses.
Naseem Hamed was a terrific little fighter in his hey day, and he was a pleasure to watch at his best with his spectacular KO's, his ring entrances, and his unorthodox style.
Whether you loved him or hated him he entertained, im a fan of MAB have been for years and years. And he is one of my favorites, but im telling you now he would of had a tough fight on his hands, against a prime Naseem Hamed.

cockyness is always a virtue in a sport like boxing and vital if its too survive.
But the whole manner in how he took the barrera defeat and never managed to get over finishing up 2nd best...quite pathetic
you get beat you pick yourself up and learn from it, you dont walk out on the sport and run over old men

As i said never will be a fan of his, but even if you love him or hate him, he entertained at the end of the day. And i do think he gets a bit unfairly treated at times.
Never thought he was shit Fenster, remember i always thought his balance was piss poor. As a fighter he certainly wasn't piss poor he had raw talent but he is still an ass.
