Spong v Perea 21/12/18

[joshj909]

Good regional clash with diverse backgrounds of experience and for the WBO Latino Heavyweight Title.

Will definitely be Spong's toughest boxing test as we know that Perea has the amateur pedigree (not quite the same in the pros).

P.S. does anyone know why Perea dropped out of the Hrgovic fight? Was it for this fight?

[TheGingerBomber]

Tyrone Spong for fornicate sake!

People’s been yapping on about him for years, what a load of shit. Should fight Wilt Chamberlain.

he had some visa/passport issues

Perea should give him rounds at the very least - he went the distance with Guillermo Jones (SD) and Kownacki and drew with Joey Dawejko.

[funso banjo baby]

i really like perea , much better than his record suggests.

but ive never seen Spong

[jamamb]

the few times ive seen sping fight his opponents just layed down...if perea gives an honest effort he should be by far spongs hardest fight and could very well beat him

[TheBeast]

reminds me of LeBanner who tried boxing also after fighting in K1... Lebanner was a southpaw and these guys are experienced punchers... Spong brings impressive talent too though... he has hands... Miller is another...

[jamamb]

le banner has a sick ko reel, both giving and taking

[candyslim]

Should be an interesting match and surely Spong's toughest test to-date (in boxing of course, not MMA or whatever TF he excels at). I've gone for Spong by decision because Perea is usually reliable and I believe a lot younger than I'd thought given that he seems to have been around forever.

On a second thought, I think this might perhaps end earlier then many might expect against a guy that has never been KOed. Kickboxers often have a lot more power in their arms then most pro boxers do. Klitschko, Povetkin, Spong, they all got KO power. I hope some top boxer dares to fight Spong soon after he wins this match as well.

Kickboxers with more arm power than boxers ? I kinda doubt that very much.

this guy has said before that kickboxing is better training for boxing then boxing

[candyslim]

I know very little of kick-boxing, one could say I know SFA about MMA, but what struck me watching that abomination between Mayweather and McGregor, was what seemed to me to be the rather feeble and pathetic arm-punching of the Irishman, no effort at all made to employ hips ond shoulders to deliver a bit of bodyweight and power.

I thought if that's what kick-boxing does for your punching technique then you can keep it. Then I remember how Chaengsak Muangsurin relieved Perico Fernandez of his WBC Light-welterweight title in only his third bout under international boxing rules, and I'm reminded to be more respecrful.

[jamamb]

the arm punching has been pretty common among former kickboxers, obviously not all do it (pov kickboxed yet might turn his body into shots as good as any other hw now) but you see it at a higher rate in them then guys whoved only boxed, vitali is a notable example

[candyslim]

Back in the day when kick-boxing had no international profile other than a few Muay Thai fighters trying to make a bit of money in the internationally recognized art of boxing (like the previously mentioned Muangsurin), I remember reading about an American boxer who had become a celebrity in Japanese kick-boxing by knocking out a succession of opponents almost exclusively with the left hook.

About the same time a Texan Karate champion called Clint something or other IIRC fought a mixed gender mixed fighting style match with a very powerful looking woman boxer name of Jackie Tonawanda. She knocked him cold in two rounds. That was before I knew there was such a thing as women's boxing probably about 1975 or thereabouts.

Tell you what though: I wouldn't have argued with the lady and not because of anything along the lines of chivalry.

Vitali was only an arm puncher. Is this another account for asshat? How do you feel about Briggs, wilder & haye?

[candyslim]

I think One Time is suggesting you're the one calling Vitali an arm-puncher.

Sorry One time. I'm well aware you are more than capable of speaking up for yourself but when I see people at cross-purposes I feel compelled to try to clarify. Call it a character flaw

[Onetimeonly]

No, vitali was an arm puncher. Probably the most overrated puncher in boxing history.

[candyslim]

My mistake guys. Sorry.

I think I need to take another look at some Vitali fights because I don't ever recall that about him.

[Onetimeonly]

Odd, that's how he punched. That's why he was just an average puncher compared to the massive power of his little brother.

[jamamb]

vitalis punch style was based on volume and on countering as he leaned back. he was defo an arm puncher and it was part of how his style worked.

[Onetimeonly]

No doubt it was effective. He was a huge man so his shots still stung but he wasn't a banger. Briggs or Williams could never take hundreds of power shots from even a guy like rahman.

Vitali's punches were thuds, whereas Wlad's where lightening bolts.

[sweetviolenturge]

This will be a very good test for Spong at this stage of his career. Up until now, he's hasn't really faced any live bodies so Perea should give him a stern test. Of course, Spong is a huge puncher so he could catch Perea early but seeing as how the Columbian hasn't been knocked out previously & he's mixed with some good company an early KO doesn't seem likely. So, this could be a sink or swim fight for Spong.

[jamamb]

spong only managed a split decision win i see
