Let's do something fun

[DavilaJones]

I've always enjoyed dissecting great fights, breaking them down to small pieces and point to a singular instance and say "aha because of that fight A and fighter B lost."

So I'm hoping to get a few more of you gents involved in this with me, we'll choose a fight to watch, hopefully its on youtube and break it down round by round to see the subtle changes of behavior or shifting of tactic in a boxing bout.

Right now I'm watching Sweet Pete vs Azumah Nelson and by the end of round one Azumah had stopped doing his upper body movement because he's too concerned about Whitaker's left hook to the body of all things, although you can argue that its a straight but it is coming from the side..

I think I remember that fight, Asumah said he was sick before the fight and he desperately wanted a rematch. Pernell was flawless and had it all (except a big punch) and being a south paw confused the crap out of people. I think the Pernell body punching was seriously under rated.
