Pernell Whitaker defense appreciation

[patscorpio]

i remember watching the fight between pernell vs azumah nelson...and azumah threw a bunch of combinations in close range that missed...at the end of the round he goes back to his corner pissed at himself talmbout "this is boolsheet" ..pernell was that dude

 

[SuikodenII]

The most natural boxer I have ever seen in my own lifetime

Virginia stand UP

To this day, I still haven't heard either guy (mayweather or whitaker) say what really went down when they sparred...they both avoid it

His fight with Roger is one of my all time favorite matches of all time, shyt was and at the same damn time

Mayweather claimed he dominated Whitaker in sparring without being too harsh, doesn't surprise me since Roger put Whitaker on his ass and gave him all hell. As far as what really went down real pros dont brag about sparring

Pea is in my top 3 favs. Just an artist out there. If he got hit, its because he was engaging. The most slippery boxer I've ever seen. When he wiggled and shimmied those punches from DLH,

He got screwed vs De La Hoya. De La Hoya would be throwing flurries that hit nothing but air and Jim Lampley would lose his mind like Oscar landed something

The pure animosity between the two was so crazy

 

[Woodrow]

he got robbed against Chavez.........I always thought he won that fight....

aint no thought about it. he took it to chavez. never allowed him to fight on his terms. dropped pinpoint shots all over his ass, and as soon as chavez set his feet to unload whitaker was out. when dudes say defensive fights are boring i show em this.

They fought in the weigh ins.

GOAT Defensive fighter imo. Dudes headmovement was disgusting. Footwork was

He showed that a fundamentalist could be flashy too.


*appreciates*

Sounds like any fight

Jim has always been extreme with his stanning, you will see punches clearly miss and he will say "nice shot by Pacquiao"
