7. "RE: Is Anthony stupid?" |
I wont completely disagree with this, but I will say I had the fight 2-2 going into the final round, (when I watched the replay, the clever editing had Anthony winning by a land slide) and before the KO I had Jesse winning the final round. Anthony was fighting a poor fight, it was his strategy and it was working for him but a uppercut was inevitable. A easy parry off another overhand right followed by the uppercut was the begging of the end. It could of happened at any time. I think most prize fight judges would of seen it the same way I did, but you never can tell with those people. I think Anthony may have thought the fight was 2-2, all he was doing was rotating over hand lefts and rights waiting to open Jesse up for a haymaker. Anthony's punch stats had to be around the 12% mark if not lower, and he and his corner knew it. Don’t forget you don’t get points for punches that miss, and allot of judges will score against a fighter that throws 5 to land 1. He also was on the verge of falling down from exhaustion. I still don’t know if it was a punch that put him down or the lack of oxygen to the brain. I wont say Jesse landed a lucky punch, but he was very lucky it landed when it did. He may have been caught a bit off guard by the twin bladed windmill coming at him. If he could of put together some lateral motion a bit sooner and got the timing of the haymakers linked up with his parry he would of knocked him out a lot sooner.I also need to make a comment about the rabbit punches, forearms, and elbows the ref let fly. If I were the ref I would of thrown both of those cheaters out of the ring. Also I have heard two comments on this thread that caught my eye, 1 is a comment that these guys are heavyweights, Umm no. I think I get the point you wanted to make but ummm no. The second is that most good fighters look for the knock out, I have to strongly disagree with that. Most good fighters look for the win, if they get a KO they wont complain but I can’t think of a lot of “great” fighters that always look for the KO as the way to win. Ali loved the KO but he was always in his comfort zone before he started looking for the big shot. But looking at the top 3 guys from every division right now, I cant think of one that is a heavy KO artist that marks his victories by KO’s, maybe Tony, or Mayorga. Is Mayorga still a factor in the division? Where ever he is ranked I’m sure he is drunk.
