FNF thread for August 5th

[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!

[marbleheadmaui]

Look at how Paris fights across an arc in attacking Coleman.

Coleman has no way to figure where the next punch is coming from!

[marbleheadmaui]

That really was technically excellent from both guys and an exceptional finishing effort by Paris.

HAIL FNF!!!!!!!

I'm not trying to be a douche, but why was the fight stopped?

I kind of agree, I think the ref seemed overly concerned about stopping the fight the previous round. Yes, Coleman was getting pushed back, but he was also throwing back the odd-shot. Imo you let the fighter have every opportunity to keep getting back up from those kind of shots or let his corner take control.

I wonder that too. Coleman was really hurt by the body shots and down, but ref should have done the count. If Coleman decides to not get up, can't get up, or is too shaky on his legs, then you stop it. Not that coleman is going to complain, but don't just waive it off.

good damn night of fights for FNF. Limited budget and they still give us good value!!!

first fight was going to have some fireworks but it was stopped for the cut. Then Faragon (prospect) tears up Terry. Then Coleman is able to drop Paris but Paris's bodywork and overall heavier hands are too much in a darn good fight.


FNF proved tonight that if you have guys matched pretty well (and they have a decent amount of skill) then you end up with something worth watching.

It has been a pretty good year for FNF.

My boy Kermit is on FNF next week, that should be fun, maybe he can find someone to beat for a change.

Paris read him like a menu that round. Coleman was solely concerned with protecting his ribs. Love the mix of shots Paris has

[JazMerkin]

Both fighters walked the walk tonight. Both deserve bigger paydays out of that for me. The only guy I can recall watching recently who displayed that level of skill was Lamont Peterson last week.

Nice to see the mutual respect after the fight. Just what I like, complete unadulterated trash-talk pre-fight & respect afterwards

Agreed. Coleman needs to learn to move his feet if he can't punch harder.

Paris looks ready for a Zab/Holt/LaMont kind of guy doesn't he? Don't know if he wins, be'd compete with those guys wouldn't he?

I'd match him with Mike Alvarado, who isn't young at 31, but is just outside the top 10 and is a good fighter. showtime would grab that fight in a second. Or look at 10th ranked prospect Danny Garcia.

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.
