I agree. for a late start he did not fight bad opponents. he probably won't win a world Champion but developed some OK skills at a rather advanced Age for an athlete.dempseyfire wrote:Give Washington some credit . . he had less AM experience than Wilder and his resume is practically as good as Deontay's after 14 fights.
I'm sure he'll improve a bit from the experience. After a struggle like that, you realize that it's better to strain while training than to show-up to a fight unprepared.dwise26 wrote:Great fight for his career. He went all the rounds against a tough veteran who wasn't going to be KO'd easily. He used his jab well. He got cut from a headbutt. He took some pretty good shots which shows his toughness. He was clearly tired and he almost finished with a KO if the bell hadn't rang in the 8th round. He's proved that he has a chin unlike Wilder and Mitchell. He proved that he can go all the rounds more than Wilder. He does has some work to do but he's more than capable of doing big things in the division.
It's a good result in that he gritted out the win. But overall it shows his level is far below where you think he is, at least at the moment. He's a football player who boxes. Unless something VERY special happens in training over the next few years, that is what he will remain.dwise26 wrote:Great fight for his career.

Just out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to use his nickname in every post? I mean, yeah we see the pun...Othro wrote:Gerald "the black cock " Washington fails to stand tall against stiff opposition.

Hey guys, I just googled black cocks, and I'm still no closer to having any idea what y'all are talking about.punchoutsb wrote:Nothing at all.

I just haven't noticed you using other fighters nicknames every time you comment on them.Othro wrote:Maybe Gerald "the black cock" Washington could take on Darnell "the Ding a ling man" Wilson to get a nice measuring stick of skill . Wilson is still fresh off of his upset win vs Rodriguez.
