WNF Powell vs. Latimore

[amat]

Unbelievable, holy shit. I thought it was a bad stoppage but the fight wasn't going his way. Good good fight. Still think Powell can factor into the division but damn, Latimore looked good.

[LEGION]

McGirt is going to need some anti-depressants real soon.

How does Latimore stack up with the division? I love southpaws he looks like a pretty good one. A bit of a questionable chin but a talented guy nonetheless.

[No Contest]

NO no no, that was bullshit, Powell had his senses...it looked like he was trying to bait him a bit...really? 4-5 unaswered punches gets a stoppage/ WTF is this shit, you see Carnera get practically maimed and then Powell take s a few and its stopped...wtf happened to boxing?

I agree I mean look at his legs they were fine, his hands were up and only 1 of those punches connected real clean. I still think Powell is one of the best fighters in the division, looked gassed to me definjiitely wasn't expecting that type of fight which is just stupid considering all the upsets this year.

[No Contest]

Whatever I'm not a Powell fan but if I was I would be livid right now, Benji made a bad call IMO.

Shitty stoppage, but I finally picked a fight right, that makes me like 1-28 on picks this year

While the stoppage may have been bad, Powell was showing almost zero defense at that point and was firing nothing back, even if he was faking it when that jab Latimore threw pushed Powell in the corner I think that's where the ref started looking to call it. Good news is the 154 lb division still sucks and is top heavy with guys ready to retire, so both Latimore and Powell will probably get title shots within a year.

You know looking back at that fight it's hard to pick out much that Latimore did wrong, I don't like his straight up stance, but he used it well I was pretty impressed in just about any other division I wouldn't give him a shot at the top 10 but at 154, he may be someone to watch.

I also think Powell will have a hard time against anyone that doesn't run into his left hand. Powell's right side is almost useless.

[No Contest]

Hehe good pick, Latimore showed he isn't someone to be taken lightly. He did land alot of good left leads over Powells low right. I think Latimore was on his way to breaking down Powell, but it could have gone longer definately.

Absolutlely it could have, Powell's play at being hurt was stupid enough that it justified being waved off though IMO. This isn't wrestling if you can beat a guy, just beat him no reason to go into an acting session in the ring.
