WNF Powell vs. Latimore

[killersheep]

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.

I think powell was genuinely stunned with Latimore in process of tuning him up......on ropes.Powell is kicking his own arse at home right now.Latimore has some weak spots...stands tall,wide in spots,haircut.. but He is Southpaw awkward & shows decent sharp power...rematch anyone?

Something I really liked about Latimore was that when Powell caught him, he collected himself and fired back even when he looked hurt.

IS Buddy McGirt overrated? I certainly would not let him touch any of my fighters. The reson why is he is never there for the whole camp. A fighter needs to devolp a bond with his or her trainer. one to two weeks and then the fighht does not work in my book.

He's had shitty run lately, but it may be because everyone and their uncle is trained by Buddy atm. It seems he is in a different corner every weekend in big fights. He may be spreading himself too thin. My one complaint about Buddy is when he yells out stuff from the corner...what you don't think the other guy can't hear you too?.....duh
