Strategies that backfired big time!

[Spicoli]

Well, that's taking a page out of the Leftylee book almost...WTF is TM thinking sending his wife in there to get beaten up?

Def.Just a little TMI up front

I dont know what strategy he was going for but Nate Campbell/Pedan 1 backfired in a huge way

The main one that came to mind for me was Danny Williams v Matt Skelton where he seemed to think that getting as big as he could would give him a power advantage.

Danny comes in at 16lbs heavier than he's ever fought, and was so slow he could barely catch Skelton to hit him, and Skelton's plan of boxing Williams and staying out of trouble works a dream, and is a nightmare for spectators. I know, I nearly cut my wrists late in the fight, but the edge of the plastic seats at the Millenium stadium aren't sharp enough.

Whoever that boxer that fought Arce was that spent 90% of the fight covering up.

Mayorga leaving himself open to body shots from Trinidad that eventually took their toll.

Forrest vs. Mayorga. If anything, Forrest should have stuck with his original gameplan.

Byrd thinking he could pull a combination of Sanders and Brewster on Klitschko.

Judah thinking he could show how tough he was and get up from the canvas immediately.

De La Hoya not sticking that jab in Mayweather's face. "The jab wasn't working for me." It can only work when you use it.

Hatton fighting outside England.

I wish there would be some saddo observers at some time on our myspace forum, we were all horrified and he kept rolling with his donkey comments as if it was pure gold.

Roy Jones vs Glen Johnson - Jones doing nothing but smiling and acting like he wasn't worried while Glen is smashing him to no end.

Dela Hoya vs Pacquiao - Oscar thought making the smaller guy move up two division and him going down one would assure himself an easy big payday fight.

Barrera vs Morales I,II,III - Eric slugging with marco instead of using his natural advantages. If Eric had he would of won everytime over Marco.

JMM vs Floyd - JMM team thinking they could counter or box floyd whom is better at both plus bigger and faster.

Anyone mentioned Hatton?

Deciding to charge Manny and block with his face instead of his hands. That was a bad call

[donnydarkoIRL]

Was it strategic that Margarito started slow against Paul Williams?

Cotto's constant movement to evade Margarito proved his own undoing.

Herol Graham's change in strategy to pursue the wounded Jackson.

If only I could witness Mayweather snr blocking some punches with his face. Now that I'd pay to watch! Mayweather snr vs a Klitsckho, that would be worth every penny of my ppv cash!

Think about that one for a second... you want to watch an old man with a terminal disease beaten up on by 2m+ of pure muscle

It is quite notorious that I dislike Mayweather to the highest degree but that, I wouldn't want to see... to see him lose, fair, but not to see him beaten to pulp by a much bigger and heavier opponent, there would be no reward in victory, just a shame to have mangled a much smaller opponent from Vitali plus Vitali is too classy to let anything like that to happen.

Here's Roger taking several punches to the head....what was that Roger? The Mid-West produces the best fighters ever?? Well I think Julio Cesar Chavez disagrees

I don't get why everybody says "hatton trying to be slick".

When did he ever try to be slick? With Mayweather in his corner he boxed a little more than normal against paulie - and won by a country mile.

When Pac Man obliterated him he wasn't slick AT ALL... unless walking forwards ina straight line swinging with haymakers, gloves down and chin up is considered slick.

OK Adam, then perhaps people could question him changing trainers so late in his career or fighting Pacquiao to begin with.
