Canelo

Canelo(42-0-1)/Trout(26-1) wrap up- While watching the fight, I felt that Canelo was leaning in too much when throwing his right hand. If Trout was in better position, he could have timed it and made things real interesting. Trout did fight a good fight, but my eyes told me that the placement of his feet were [...]

Canelo&Trout

Donaire(31-2, 20 KOs)/Rigondeaux (12-0, 9 KOs)after thoughts- Going into the fight, I felt that Donaire’s pro experience would out weigh Rigo’s amateur scoring style. I also felt that it would be Donaire that would be the quicker fighter because of that. Boy oh boy was I ever so wrong, dead wrong feels more like it. [...]

Donaire&Rigo

Saturday, April 13, 2013 Radio City Music Hall, New York City Live on HBO Nonito Donaire(31-1) vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux(11-0)- To the naked eye, both fighters are viewed as being very similar counter punching, fast, power punching fighters. I however, do not see them as such. Nonito to me has more of an athletic flow to his [...]

Rios/Alvarado World War 2 Wrap-Up

Alvarado&Rios2

  The first encounter was pure brutality, two fighters pushing their fighting wills to the limit. When the limit seemed to have been reached, both fighters felt the need to go beyond. Say what you may, but the first fight was very close. So close in fact, that after six rounds, two of the three judges [...]

Hopkins&Cloud

Saturday, March 9, 2013 on HBO Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY Tavoris Cloud vs. Bernard Hopkins (IBF light heavyweight title)- I see Hopkins picking his spots and landing just enough clean shots to freeze Cloud in his tracks. Cloud is going to have to press B-Hop and stay on top of him without giving away [...]
