De Mori v Weida video
Re: De Mori v Weida video
Poor Weida was totally out classed that night. Time for Mark to step it up a notch. He could be wasting his best years.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
Met mark in the changerooms before the fight,shorter than I thought he would be.But conversation turned to boxing pretty quick and he said that winning against calloway was a big step up and that he was very happy with that accomplishment,I did point out that calloway was old and not a real heavyweight,but he said that good fights take time to organise and people like meehan were not stepping up(Kettle calling the pot black).I will say he was a nice bloke,but suggested he need to take some harder fights if he wants to be world champ.Posed for a pic and left.All in all,he was courtious and I being retired wasn't a threat so he did open up to me.I did understand that the "chess game" had to be played to improve his position,but for me he's just setting himself up for disapointment if he actually gets a real shot at a proven champ.
Re: De Mori v Weida video
against a proven champ?
i know u said if, but, mark has ZERO chance of that imo. how on earth could it be possible with a resume like that?
surely nobody expects that to happen anytime soon. his level of opposition would have to rise dramatically and it appears that is not gunna happen.
it may be difficult to climb the ladder, but people r jack of the talk.
i believe most if not all of us would follow/support/cheer for mark IF he took a risk. but it never happens.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
Weida moved like a corpse. Worse than Calloway.
Re: De Mori v Weida video
The video was only part of it. Did not show Mark evading Troy's punches or the actual speed of the fight.
Nothing like being there.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
Weida had zero head movement and held his gloves far too low. The younger, sharper de Mori was able to just pick him off at will. de Mori needs to be careful he doesn't get lazy and pick up bad habits fighting old slow guys.Brute wrote:The video was only part of it.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
He may have been handy some years ago. But age and has taken away what he might have had. If you stand in front of Weida long enough he could probably do you some damage. But if you stick and move like de Mori did he's just too slow and static to defend himself.caveman wrote:if that was the highlights,there is not much to crow about,that bloke was hopeless

Brute, will you get all bent out of shape when I remind you?
I sure hope so as your crazy old man act cracks me up.

He went off at me claiming I'd been calling him old. But when he had a look back he found I hadn't at all

Re: De Mori v Weida video
I cant knock the fight (any more then others) as Weida was a replacement at short notice (By way of Don King agreeing).
For Marks sake i hope Don King lets him fight Chauncy Welliver or Solomon Haumono. Maybe being realistic Mark could fight for the Commonwealth title.

Think you may have misunderstood Rhino, would have been about Mark agreeing to the Meehan fight, but it then not happening due to various reasons I am sure (mainly being the loss I guess).TrainInsane wrote:Good post Mick.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
Sorry Rhino, I mean to say that with respect.
Just I know that Mark isn't so stupid to think or say that Kali is afraid of fighting him with the names Kali has fought in the past.

Mick's had a face to face chat with de Mori and you are telling him he's misinterpreting it when you weren't even thereTotalpac wrote:Think you may have misunderstood Rhino, would have been about Mark agreeing to the Meehan fight, but it then not happening due to various reasons I am sure (mainly being the loss I guess).TrainInsane wrote:Good post Mick.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
People can always mis hear of interprete something in the wrong way. Just saying I know the respect Mark has for what Kali has achieved & also knows that what fights happen are out of the actual fighters hands more often than not.
Re: De Mori v Weida video
But you're right TrainInsane, I can't tell someone what they were told cause I wasn't there.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
After watching that fight I do think DeMori was carring Weida up untill De Mori throw his first rite hand the one that ended the fight. I can only go on the limeted fight that was shown but if he fought Leapia like that with his left hand down Im quite shaw he wouldnt suvive 4 rounds, even Weida hit him with some nice rite hands. Please dont tell me im wrong untill you have watched it again. ![[icon_shame.gif] :shame:](./images/smilies/icon_shame.gif)
Re: De Mori v Weida video
Weida hardly hit him at all. That video showed hardly anything. De Mori avoided nearly everything Weida threw at him and made him look silly.

Re: De Mori v Weida video
Weida is totally shot as de Mori demonstrated by just hitting him at will. It is sad when guys like Weida and Calloway continue on to the point they can't even defend themselves any more and get beat up for a few lousy bucks.
