Ponce. I love a good right hook putting someone on dream street.

that was brutal, and i must admit he looks pretty good. he ain’t no juanma or rafy or anything, but damn looks almost completely different. he even lost that idiotic rat tail.

ps voted for enzo though

pss he’s ponce de leon. as a ponce, i wouldn’t want to be called ponce de leon i’m sure as a pdl he wouldn’t want to be called ponce

A good right hook or a bad left hook?

by Dafs on Sep 20, 2010 8:25 AM EDT up reply actions  

Left hooks…..what makes them so devasating?

BTW….Alvarez’ girlfriend (wife?) leaps to the front of the class of boxers women.

I’ll say that the Macca KO was the scariest, but it shouldn’t have even happened. The referee should have called that off on the first knockdown. He couldn’t even get his hands up.

I went with Alvarez KO Baldomir because it was against Baldomir, but I thought Ponce De Leon’s was the splashiest.

PDL

Sheer brutality wins in my opinion!

Went for Ponce de Leon...

probably because I’m patriotic towards Maccarinelli and didn’t want to see him take those shots, especially in that condition. Alvarez nearly got it because of his wife, but Ponce de Leon’s right hook did it for me.

Alvarez nearly got it because of his wife

Jumping ahead of myself there I think. I meant his other half.

by Dafs on Sep 20, 2010 4:47 AM EDT up reply actions  

agree on Enzo

was a shame he had to take that last one, but then I remember him nearly taking Kotbly’s head off with an uppercut before it was stopped, so thats the nature of it. Went for PDL

Alvarez/Baldomir

Because I like the kid, and Baldo’s head no matter what condition the rest of him is in, is big, and made of cement. No easy coconut to crack. I thought the kid would win, but I thought it would GTD.

And Because

as dramatic as it looked, Maccarinelli KO seemed more a product of dangerous refereeing than a real clean KO, and disturbing for that.

Agree. More brutal, but less skilful… Is that fair to say too?

by Dafs on Sep 21, 2010 11:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yes--

much quicker with the hands, a really classy hook, and, really, Alvarez was KOing a live, if old, guy—all Frenkel had to do was swat poor Enzo, who even is this 39-sec. video is clearly unfocused, out on his feet.

I went for PDL, because he broke Escalante down before finishing with a sweet right hook/

by Dafs on Sep 21, 2010 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Enzo

showing pretty dramatic head-snap, but that’s becoming par for the course.

Baldomir might be about 50 years old, but he’s always had a chin.

by Don From Prov on Sep 20, 2010 8:47 AM EDT reply actions  

So,

Alvarez.
