Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
1. Paul Williams loss to Sergio Martinez- complete abandonment of height/reach advantage in favor of inside fighting.
2. Rafael Ruelas vs Oscar de la Hoya- Again, Ruelas looked to make it an inside fight and got starched by a tight left hook.
3. Hagler loss to Leonard- I thought Marvin won but he made it harder by giving away four rounds and then boxing to show how versatile and great he was.
4. Evander vs James Toney- Evander loaded up on every punch and tried to take his head off with one shot- contrast that with his fight vs Tyson and his display of jabs, combination punching, and counter punching.
5. Joe Frazier vs George Foreman- Joe fought the way he always did but bob/weave, left hooks, and aggression were maybe the worst tactics to try vs George.
Good ones. Hagler fought orthodox for the early rounds trying to wrong foot Leonard but when he went southpaw he was more successful.
I think there was nothing else Frazier could do against Big George. That style was made for Foreman.
Berbick trying to push back a prime Mike Tyson was career suicide. He wore the black shorts and long socks to try and play mind games but that all failed too.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Lou Savarese going all out kamikaze and trying to engage with and bomb out Mike Tyson in the first round
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?
srisaket fighting el gallo orthodox in the rematch was baffling
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Tommy Hearns going to war with Hagler. I am so glad he did though . Made for the best 3 round fight in history.
