FNF thread for August 5th

[marbleheadmaui]

It's fascinating these two were trained by the Mayweathers. This fight LOOKS like the fights before WWI that went 20+ rounds. Slow pace, not a ton of movement, good upper body technique.

Old OLD school.

Exactly what I was thinking. I remember we were talking about the lack of great teachers when it comes to craft nowadays. This fight is showing what happens when you get taught that by those teachers. If this fight carrys on like this & lasts the full 10, I can already say it will be my personal FOTY. Some great skills on display.

The precision of their feet and hands is really, really good.

PS I said that BEFORE Sergio did!

3-1 Paris

38-37

That last round was really tight though.

Colemans acting tired. He really telegraphs. Paris finds life and juuust misses some game changing right hands

[marbleheadmaui]

I'm at 3-2 Paris so the fight is even.

[marbleheadmaui]

When Paris moves his feet he takes control.

[marbleheadmaui]

This is a GREAT attempt to finish! Over and under, deliberate, keeping his distance and taking angles.

[marbleheadmaui]

Paris didn't QUITE finish him, but boys and girls THAT is how it is done!

[OumaFan]

The power difference has just been huge. Coleman can hit him with his best punch and it doesn't matter because he just doesn't have much power.

Note to Sergio...Colemans not James Toney, not even Augustus

Vernon Paris likes Detroit, over sized hats that make him look like a 6 year old, body shots, and talking trash. His turnoffs are Tim Coleman, speaking like he's got an education, and being shot or stabbed.

Without the mega jug head hat he looks as old as his own dad might ?

What a fight, this is really something, I got it 56-55 for Paris. I think.

Predictable, Paris had superior fire power, and Coleman's is just average at best, it was just a matter of time.

Paris isn't very likable, but the guy has some talent.
