WNF Powell vs. Latimore

[SalTheButcher]

i think powell was gonna end up losing the fight on points anyway, but....


i thought that powell was faking being hurt trying to lure latimore in and get him to make a mistake

Bad stoppage but i don't feel sorry for powell at all. I like most don't belive he was hurt he definatly could have gone on and probably finish the fight but geeeezusss he talked, played, rope-doped, damn near everything besides punch back in that last round, it was something like 22-9. Powell wasn't going to win the fight reguardless, he acted like he was shocked but he knew the real deal. He would have been way more livid as well as his corner if it was really that bad of a stoppage. Powell came in against a guy that he was supposed to basically hit one or two times and his head would blow up and throw blood and guts all over the front row. He way overestimated this kid figuring he'd seen all he had in the past and this was going to just be a good showing of him for T.V. From the begining he knew he was in for more than he expected. Teddy atlas imo was way off base assuming powell was just buying time waiting to counter of his defense, at first i agreed but after a bit you could see powell was waiting for some glaring huge mistake to be made and it never came, meanwhile he was getting cracked, and loosing rounds till he was just simply too far back. How many freakin times are these guys gonna look past who they are currently fighting no matter who they are. Of all times this is the worst to make that mistake...it's hot, natural disasters are everywhere, the economy is fucked, basically to sum it all up (excuse my phrase here but) niggaz is hot, broke, and aint got no gas these days so every fighter is dangerous. Powell needed to learn this lesson and hopefully so will some others. Hell even baller 27 could accidently swing his arm with his eyes covered and catch someone on the chin. You always look like a bigger badass talking shit after a fight you won then trying to convince us you are going to win a fight that hasn't even come yet.
