StillUnknown Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) my man Kirkland is done . I had a nasty feeling all day about that fight for some reason. his style has always been defensively reckless and he paid for it in spades last night yeah i didn't order it either because i thought Morales was going to get slaughtered. it looked that way after 1 round, but Morales showed why he's one boxing's greatest warriors. dude fought 11 rounds with one eye completely swollen shut, not to mention fighting at a weight well above where he fought the most of his career. I hope he got paid nicely, now I hope he hangs them up, which he won't Edited April 10, 2011 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 yeah that ref has mad himself apart of this fight way too much in the past few rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Very good fight. The problem with that weight division are the two guys above Berto right now, Ortiz wouldn't have much of a chance against....seeing as it's the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

ksun247 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Great fight. Ortiz deserves that win. Ref was suspect in his decisions. Judges did good. Now let's see if the rematch will be as good as the 1st fight. Juanma Lopez about to fight on Showtime. Let's see what him and Salido can do.

ksun247 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This is a great fight also. Salido is throwing so many wild punches and some of them are landing. Juanma is fighting on instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Salido is going to gas from those wild punches though fighting in puerto rico, salido probably has to finish him to get the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemsSC7Skinfan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thoughts on Berto vs Ortiz Awesome fight, I had a feeling it was going to provide a spectacular knockout. For that I was incorrect on, but it did provide more entertainment than I've seen in awhile on the vicious uncertainty of who was going to win at nearly any given moment of the fight. For the first time in my life I think I could actually see on the fighters face (Ortiz face in about round 4) that he was going to take the title and Berto actually knew it as well. I think that is why Berto said he didn't feel to be himself in the fight, no kidding, its because that is what happens when someone really wants something and I mean really wants it. Ortiz came to this fight to destroy Berto and claim the title for himself. Berto came to the fight to win......that simply wasn't good enough for tonight even though on most nights he could of gotten by with it. I take my hat off to Victor and Andre though, they both fought like champions, they provided the fans of boxing with the type of entertainment and excitement for the sport which will leave us all looking forward to the next fight on HBO. Cheers to a good fight and to the hope that neither fighter is damaged goods from this fight forward in their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksun247 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Oh snap!!! Salido just won the belt on a TKO. Ref stopped fight too early. Lots of drama and extra activities in Puerto Rico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksun247 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Juanma was hurt in the last few rounds by Salido. Juanma kept fighting back, but ref thought it was too much. TKO in round 8 for Salido over Juanma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I don't get Showtime guys, fill me in on a recap of what happened. Juanma was in alot of trouble, getting drilled, but was still throwing. Salido hit him with one shot action paused for like half a second and the ref jumped in. Juanma was still throwing at that time though. the ref would've been more justified if he stopped it 30secs earlier than when he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClemsSC7Skinfan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Who was the Salido guy, I don't recognize that name at all. Was this figured to be a JuanMa warm up for potential fight with Gamboa? JuanMa always seemed a little bit soft to me when I've seen him fight, can't remember who it was against but he didn't strike me as having the same toughness most of the puerto rican fighters have.On the other side though who is Orlando Salido? I was pretty confident Gamboa would destroy Lopez, guess this makes it more evident, I'd still like to see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad the ref ruined this fight. Let the champ go out and get KO'ed or at least dropped again. I fully believe Salido would've dropped him or stopped him short order had the ref let it continue it wouldn't have lasted much longer, but he deserved the opportunity to go on very impressive performance from Salido though Who was the Salido guy, I don't recognize that name at all.

I was pretty confident Gamboa would destroy Lopez, guess this makes it more evident, I'd still like to see it though. he's a quality fighter, very good chin. more of a brawler than boxer, but he's a measuring stick for young fighters. he's the kind of fighter thats just below championship level. he went 12 rounds with Gamboa Edited April 17, 2011 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemsSC7Skinfan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Okay, I just did a search after you mentioned him going 12 rounds with Gamboa. I did see that fight but the fight was a boring matchup to me in general and I paid little attention to it at the time, enough to not even remember him. That was one of the few in a row that Gamboa had and was very much like a boxer more so than his knockout win over Solis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
