Matthew Saad Muhammad vs Dwight Muhammad Qawi

[marbleheadmaui]

I've seen these fights since this thread, and even though i loved Matthew Saad Muhammad as a fighter. He got destroyed especially in the 2nd fight, yes the tough fights had caught up with him. But i just think Dwight Muhammad Qawi's style was all wrong for him.

Matthew Saad Muhammad often threw straight punches, which allowed Dwight Muhammad Qawi to get under his punches. And beat the living hell out of Matthew Saad Muhammad, the 2nd fight was actually quite sad to see.

Yup. Qawi finished Saad as a fighter in the first fight. From then on Saad lost more than he won.

That first fight, like a lot of times, was a passing of the torch. The champ was still formidable, but not quite what he once was, and the challenger was oh so hungry.
