advice. I have decided to buy Ali'-Terrell from Lotis Tunaman. Is it a good idea
? I mean, was it a good fight ? Thanks !In particular to Kookoo-How do
you explain, as a great Tyson's fan, his lost against Buster Douglas ? Just a
bad night ?|

really think that douglas would have won a rematch??? tyson himself knew that he
could win back the title. anytime he wanted. i'm am not a tyson fan, i am a
great quarry fan, better than kent and paul. the quarry family has great respect
for my opinion. sonya email me a couple of years ago to thank me. i know my
stuff,i just heard my alarm. coo coo coo coo |

Massimo's English is probably better than your Italian! And if living in the
past includes, Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Shavers, Quarry, Lyle, Young,
etc., etc., etc., than I'll take the past because these guys would walkover any
of today's heavyweights---simply put, they had the passion and guts that MOST of
today's guys are sorely lacking. Also, I find it odd that people ridicule
Cooney for the competition he dominated on his way up, while nobody comments
that Tyson fought the same type of opponents during his climb. Was Marvis
Frazier any more of a threat than Lyle or Young? Was a retired Larry Holmes
that much better than a semi-retired Ken Norton? I'm really defending Cooney
more than putting down Tyson, who was potentially the best ever. But he didn't
follow through on his greatness---and it wasn't the loss to Douglas---it was the
fact that he never recovered from that loss to achieve greatness again. |

the seemingly simple ten point must system to me?These last two weeks have
produced decisions in two big fights that make me question my
understanding.winner of a round who scores a knockdown,gets a 10-8 round.Winner
of a round must get 10 points.Usually a 10-9 round.In a 12 rnd.fight,if you
score a perfect shutout,you get 120pnts.I cannot remember ever seeing a 9-8
round.How could Byrd have possibly won by a 111-117 margin on that one judges
card? How many rounds does that mean he won? These Vegas judges are just
knocking the enjoyment right out of this sport for me.What's worse, there doing
it on cable tv for all the world to see.Amagine what the casual boxing fan,who
only watches big fights on HBO or pay-per-view ,must think!!! |
|9/22/03 05:34:30 PM|Steve|N.J.||dmmsrm@comcast.net||||10|After watching the
DeLaHoya-Moseley fight a second time, I think possibly it could have been a just
decision.It depends on several factors.Do the judges give more credit for total
percentages of power punches and jabs landed? Perhaps they evaluate on the
effectiveness of punches landed,who does the most damage. Moseley's punches
though fewer than Oscar's, seemed to be heavier and do more damage.At the end of
the fight,it seemed like Oscar had gotten beaten up.|
|9/22/03 05:40:24 PM|Massimo|Rome||g||||10|KooKoo-Very probably he
wouldn't have won the rematch even if Douglas never was in that shape again.
This doesn't explain what really happened in that night. Tyson was young
andat the peak of his career, maybe a little overweight, but just a little.
The thing that mostly surprised me was that Mike lost badly the ninth round,
after having obtained a knockdown in the eight ! I 'd like to know if the reach
of a fighter is measured with open hands or with closed fists. Thanks ! |

of invincibility was shattered by Douglas---but even so, I've got to believe
Tyson would have won a rematch. I think Tyson was in decent physical shape for
the fight, but wasn't focused mentally. In contrast, Buster Douglas was totally
focused and stuck with his fight plan in an amazing way. Not since Young-
Foreman did any underdog go in with a plan and stick with it to that extent.
