I wasn't aware the standing 8 count was done away with in 1998. What a 'casual' I turned out to be! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Its a bit like the old 3 knockdown rule mate im not sure any of the organisations still have that....same thing you could stop an opponent without really hurting them,there was a string of fights in the 80's one i remember well was when Bonecrusher Smith stopped Tim Witherspoon in the first round he literally came out with a mission to get him on the floor 3 times and did,thats it World Champion....Witherspoon wasnt even dazed it was just silly.

Witherspoon looked like he didnt want to be in there, no protest after stoppage either, bit of a strange do. Edited April 13, 2021 by SONOFSOIL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greb147 6,808 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Williams looked like he had him hurt at one point where they both landed shots at the same time. The first time I've really seen Andrade, he's very sharp punching and unorthodox, should be a good bout with GGG, I reckon GGG will eat him up but father time may have other plans.

Billy b 724 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Typical Andrade,moments of looking great,as in rnds1 to 3,and then stepping off the gass and being messy and spoiling,as in rnd4 onwards,not saying he's not great technically or that he didn't win,but I think his style is whats stopped him from getting the big fights tbh He's not an easy night though,very gifted and hard to look good against,but the top of 168 he doesn't beat imo Wtf was liam williams doing though,seemed all too much for him and Andrade could not miss with that uppercut? Easy to say from my seat at home I know,but it all seemed wrong,Dom ingle going "he's getting tired he's getting tired " constantly,you've got to offer more than that as a trainer,williams fought back in to it and is a tough game lad,I do like him,don't think he has the power to get Andrade respect though You can't just keep coming in straight lines,taking big shots and offering nothing back 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy b 724 Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Got no issue with what anyone wants to watch,didn't entertain askren v paul from the start personally,it's mad how that seemed to create more chat than a genuine fight,but I bet they got well paid,this paul has got a massive following and no doubt makes a few quid and that's what it's about at the end of the day but as for anything he does fight wise I can't entertain it Edited April 18, 2021 by Billy b 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly, this is how it's all been going, the last couple of years especially. When a poxy youtuber can generate more interest and money than a real fighter, should tell people that boxing's days are numbered! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
