<-- The Original Clown Prince of boxing -->

[CutMeMick]

Finally a highlight video on Jorge Paez.

The 1st fight I ever attended was a Paez fight in 1986 when I was a kid growing he was one of my idols in boxing. Had a chance to meet him as kid also and see his families circus perform at my school.

I know a lot of people have seen very limited footage of him so maybe theres new stuff on here.
I know that if Paez would have applied himself more to the sport and would have dedicated himself 100% to the sport he would have been something special. He had tremendous skills and ability, his reflexes were insane.

His 1st fight vs. Grove was one of the best comebacks in history IMO. Being down on points and decking Grove to win a decision in the 15th round...

Has to be one of the most strangest entertaining fighters I watched growing up but man was he fun to watch, you never knew what he would do next. He was always getting away with things only because the refs had never seen anything like him nor had his opponents I was hoping that his son would have been just as entertaining as his father but it did not turn out that way. Paez Sr makes Malignaggi and Price NAZ seem normal by comparison It's too bad that more videos of Paez Sr., are not available Thanks for the post.

I think Paez fought pretty good vs Whitaker. Have you seen that one CutMeMick? Lots of action.

I agree whe Paez fought the people watched...
Before there was Eubank, before Naz, before Augustus there was Paez.
His son has similar style but not as whacky and Clownish as his pops.
One of my fav. things that Paez did in fights was he would wind up his right hand I mean literally wind it up and BAM! he'd launch forward and hit you with a left hook. Fucken classic or when he would pretend to be hurt and BAM! throw a right hand.

I think he did much better then people give him credit for. I was able to tag Pernell and he actually had a sequence I forget which round where he made Pernell miss like 3 or times with his waist movement.

Wow, he employed poo play? It's a shame I missed him.

I don't think so Pernell Whitaker did give Jorge Paez a bit of a beating in the later rounds, did you see how bad that cut was ? Paez was competitive in some rounds, but overall he lost a wide UD not close at all scoring wise IMO.

He was a scrappy, spirited figher. His style definately matched his personality.

Yes... Paez certainly qualifies for that title. Funny thing is, his clowning never rubbed me the wrong way as much as Hamed's clowning did. And Camacho's clowning was somewhere between Paez's and Hamed's (as far as being obnoxious).
