Alright lets do a boxing experiment

[ICB]

Excellent topic Majesty i'll rep you after i've finished this post. I have to say before i start writing this out i do hate Naz but i'll try and be as unbiased as i can anyway. The first real Naz fight i see was his fight against Steve Robinson, i didn't see it at the time i watched a repeat of it back in 1997. Now when i watched it i was impressed with Naz's power, speed, reflexes etc. Robinson did have a bad record but what a lot of people don't realize. Is that Robinson won the title off John Davidson and the amazing thing about that was that Robinson took the fight on 48 hours notice and he won impressively which was shocking to see. Robinson then went on to defend the title 7 more times until he got battered by Naz. It has to be said though that Robinson only beat decent opposition when he was champion.

The next fight i saw of Naz's was against Said Lawal not at the time it happened but a repeat, i didn't know anything about the fight previously, and just as i was getting comfy in my chair. BOOM the first punch Naz landed and down went Lawal i was shocked to see such a little man with so much power, Lawal got up but was badly shaken and was shortly stopped after that. The next fight i saw of Naz's was Manuel Medina and as i remember it this was a very tough nights work for Naz as he did take many punches in this fight than he ever had to this point in his career. I then see Naz take apart decent fighters like Molina and Johnson in which he looked mighty impressive.

I then see his wild fight with Kevin Kelley and i think this fight did really expose how bad Naz's defense was, and how poor his balance was. Yes he did get the job done eventually but only after getting 3 knockdowns against him. I knew after this fight that he would get exposed eventually. But i have to admit after Naz took apart iron chinned Wayne McCullough i was impressed and my faith in him did comeback slightly but i still thought he had poor defense and balance. I also believe this was Naz's last fight with Bredan Ingle wasn't it ?? The next fight i saw was his fight with Paul Ingle. Now Ingle was game and gave Naz a few problems and he did bloody Naz's nose but still Ingle was getting out boxed clearly and he did hit the deck x2 i believe. But then out of nowhere Ingle started to put some real hurt on Naz in the 10th round and come close to stopping him as i remember it. But Naz showing grit come out in the next round and finished Ingle in impressive fashion.

Then i saw Naz's fight with Cesar Soto which was a very dirty fight and controversial. Naz was doing his fair share of kneeing Soto in the head and groin plus tackling him which was knocking the wind out of Soto. Soto was also doing a lot of spoiling himself by clinching, overall bad fight and i wish i would have never watched it. Oh by the way just a little bit history for you folks before i continue, Soto was the first man to beat Jose Luis Castillo he stopped Castillo in the 2nd round. The next fight i saw of Naz's was his fight with Augie Sanchez, Naz redeemed himself in this one by stopping Sanchez in exciting and impressive fashion.

Now onto MAB vs Naz now before the fight i had watched Barrera for sometime and i knew he would be the man to beat Naz. I even had a bet with someone at school that MAB would beat Naz. Naz wasn't at his best to be fair as he took Barrera far too lightly. He thought because Barrera was moving up to fight him, that his power would be too much for the smaller man aka Barrera moving up. But boy was Naz wrong as he was constantly kept off balance by Barrera's jab. Barrera boxed beautifully as he countered and and basically gave Naz a boxing lesson and i have to be honest i loved every minute of it. After the fight i knew Naz would never comeback from that. In fact i lost all the respect i had for Naz to be honest. Because he couldn't accept defeat and he basically gave up. Ok he did have one more fight after that but it was a terrible fight and the crowd was even walking out during the fight.

Final comments Naz was an exciting fighter with cat like reflexes, amazing power for his size, and good hand speed and i loved his ring entrances. But it has to be said Naz had poor boxing skills and that let him down badly against Barrera, he also had terrible balance. But overall he was good for the sport because everyone hated him and everyone wanted to see him lose and he done his job by putting asses in seats and then excitingly Knocking out his opponents.
