Vera & McEwan

[Spicoli]

thats actually pretty good,haha.Veras a tough,scrappy sob but I think those 15 minutes are at about 14 + right now.

And McEwan will become another guys Andy Lee for a night

Agreed.I said in the FNF thread that I wasn't impressed with McEwan really at all. He's got some skills but he is SLOW and likes to stand up straight and back right out; and he seems the type that will never develop good wind and always look winded. As Superjoint would say Dressing Like a Target. Just a matter of time{real soon} that someone finds a permanent home for some straight right hands on him. I think Lee whoops him; and as far as Vera beating Lee; I think Lee kind of just fell apart and panicked, whereas McEwan just got away with a victory against an even more than usual sluggish Vera. Lee I see maturing, McEwan is pretty much now what he will always be. Won't even hear about this kat in1 years time imo. Might get right below gatekeeper status.

Gotta agree,I always hate to pull the rug out from a guy prematurely as far as what they can achieve.....but I just see in McEwan as an also ran type,one that has a really hard time settling down,tons of wasted energy bouncing around all over the place early on and getting himself winded when he might of had some spots to capitalize on in later rounds.Activity is good but he really seemed like he didn't know when/how to be aggressive or use height and box consistently.And along the ropes...forget about it.Straight in the air leaning back,I think a diligent body puncher will have him bent over & running into head shots as he goes.Time will tell,but I think hes got an up hill battle.Roach a huge plus,but he cant fight for him.

If well known professional sportswriters can use the verb "pacquiao" in their sports article published and read by millions of sports fans, why can't I use the same verb here in this forum??

And it's also true that "Andy Lee was pacquiao'ed by Brian Vera"...
.

Because you are using it with the sole purpose of winding people up to get a reaction. It is very childish.

Well I think it's good to use new words, new verbs specially those originating from boxing instead of the usual destroyed, demolished, annihilated... ...

Professional sportswriters used the verb "pacquiao" to describe a basketball game, a football game... Why can't we use "pacquiao" in a boxing match? Coz it's childish... I don't think so... IMO, it sounds innovative to me, something new...
.

Pacquiao is not exactly a new term in your posts even if the context is different. Truly this is not innovation merely repackaged regurgitation and certainly just an excuse to bring PACs name into something that has no relevance. Vera was getting whooped from pillar to post until he finally caught Lee in the end rounds when Lee was gassing. So if by Paquiaoed you mean winning a fight with ease and then running out of steam and getting caught, then you have a point, otherwise there is no relevance.

Man you're bein pretty harsh on Mcewan. I didn't know there was a type who can never develop good wind.

And to be fair that was the 1st time I have seen hiim so I am being pretty hard on him. My bad. I still say he gets ktfo in the near future

Your probably right. To be fair.
