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!

They're both reading each other so well. There was a great moment in that 4th when Paris threw a jab upstairs to drop a left hook to the body. Coleman had already brought his hands down to take that shot & come back with a little left uppercut. To read your opponents intentions like that is just fantastic, especially because it didn't look an obvious shot.

It really is fun watching fighters THINK in the ring isn't it?
