Hypothetical Match-Up Game

[alexpaterson]

Louis is far to big for jones and KOs him in the 3rd

Louis vs Foreman 15 rounds Heavyweight Championship prime for prime

[dempseyfire]

Louis is wobbed by a Foreman uppercut in the opening minute but recovers quickly and steps inside Foreman's wild follow-up swings with stinging combinations to the jaw which staggers Foreman! The round ends saving George from a knockout.

Rounds 2 and 3 show both fighters looking to jab, with Louis's quicker hands giving him the edge but George often landing the harder stick snapping Joe's head back.

Round 4: Foreman floors Joe with a right hand, Louis again recovers quickly and again staggers Foreman with his return fire. Louis had George against the ropes taking unanswered punches. The ref jumps in and calls a TKO stoppage for Joe in round 4 amid some cries that he came in too soon.

Battle of the Capable Bad luck Boxers: 8)

Emmanual Augustus Burton vs Dick Ecklund(10 Rounds)

[allworld80]

As much as I hate to say it, Augustus wins by a comfortable margin. I've never bought his act, and while I will freely achknowlege that he's been screwed more times than an old hooker, he's been his own worst enemy. That being said, his show is on full display, and he dances around Ecklund for the UD.

Jack Dempsey vs Archie Moore Both fighters hit the scales at 190 pounds, over 15 rounds

Jack Dempsey vs Archie Moore Both fighters hit the scales at 190 pounds, over 15 rounds

Dempsey wins by KO 7. Dempsey down in 1st round. Moore down in 1st, 2nd, and 7th.

Jack Dempsey vs Max Baer, primes, 12 rounds.

[Goodnight, Irene]

The master & the apprentice. The master is too much man, especially at close-quarters. Baer isn't coming out for the sixth, after a brutal showing. It was nearly all Dempsey, as he jumped Baer from the get-go.

Schmeling vs. Patterson over fifteen rounds...

Schmeling vs. Patterson over fifteen rounds...

Patterson does a number on his German counterpart, using speed and superior skill to gain a well deserved UD.

Billy Conn (1941) vs Joe Calzaghe (2008) @ 175

[Goodnight, Irene]

Conn barely drops a single advantage to Calzaghe head-to-head, & he hardly drops a round to him, either --- I rate Calzaghe as an all-timer, though I know that's a debatable topic, but he's far out of his depth here, for mine. He's not landing much on a Conn whose LHW career should receive far more focus, where he's under-estimated. Enough about the first Louis fight, already. He was one of the best 175lbers ever, in his own right. Conn UD15 Calzaghe.

Jack Dempsey. Sonny Liston. Fifteen rounds (more like five or fewer!) of murder...but who's the fateful homicide victim?

[allworld80]

Good matchup. Dempsey emerges from his corner like a snarling pit bull, and puts Liston on the defensive immediately. 2 minutes in, he connects with a lead right that sends Liston crashing to the canvas. He's up at 7, and manages to escape the round. More of the same in the 2nd, as Liston is still on shaky legs. The 3rd sees the tide turn, as Liston finally manages to get his man. A massive uppercut lifts Dempsey off his feet, and to the deck. Up at 8, but Liston pushes him into the ropes, and batters him until he slumps to the canvas. Liston KO3. Dempsey wins the rematch with a 6th round KO.

Joe Frazier vs Joe Louis, Primes for both, 15 Rounds

[harrygreb]

first couple of rounds messy and rather boring. both guys strangely hesitant to throw the first meaningful bombs. louis sneaks the second.
in the 3rd smokin joe lands a big left hook which staggers the bomber. he remains on his feet but frazier backs him up for the rest of the stanza. round 4 louis is more assertive with the jab and a minute in connects with a beaut of a left right combo. its to and fro like this until the 12th when frazier is down after missing with a left hook and getting tagged for his trouble with a short right from the bomber. philly joe is up at 7 but walks into another crisp combination from louis and is down for the count of 10.

louis KO 12

lightweight;
BILLY PETROLLE (the fargo express) v LOU AMBERS (the herkimer hurricane)

jack hurleys man gets his title chance against whitey bimsteins champ in a classic 135lb dust up.

undercard

middleweight duel
herol "bomber" graham v kelly pavlik

graham senses his best chance of claiming the world crown is at hand.

Petrolle can "upset" just about anyone on his night, but if Ambers makes full use of his footwork and all-around ability/class, he should be able to beat the Fargo man on points.

Pavlik-Graham is a very tough fight to call. On one hand, Graham is a very difficult "spoiler"-type fighter, and Pavlik certainly has a lot of weaknesses there for him to exploit. On the other hand, Pavlik is tough and relentless if nothing else, and Graham was one of those fighters who did just enough to fall short in most of his biggest fights. I think I'd lean toward Pavlik winning the fight on a split decision, with a furious late-round rally, following an ugly fight in which both fighters are made to look like sh!t. However, I could well seeing Graham making this fight the "defining moment" he never had as well.


Next up: Jose Torres vs. Melio Bettina, light-heavyweights.

[allworld80]

Torres wins by a late stoppage. Bettina is game from jump street however, and it's fierce contest until the 13th, when a paralyzing hook to the liver stops Melio. Torres KO13.

Sticking with the LW division...

Michael Moorer (1990) vs Antonio Tarver (2003) 12RDS

[AngryGoon38]

i think Moorer wins this one.

Good fight...I say Moorer by MD.


Paul Williams vs Mike McCallum

[BoxBuzz]

Tarver has been targeting Moorer his entire career, he has studied everything there is to know about Moorer and has been stalking his man in eccentric fashion. Moorer has never known quite what to make of this odd attraction that this fighter seems to have for him. He finally signs on the line to dispense with what he considers to be an irrelevant annoyance. However Tarver the student has learned what he needs to know and has just the recipe to defeat Moorer in 12 rounds. However he loses his next fight to the up and comer Roy Jones Jr, a fighter he simply has no answers for due to his boutique style that was all about a single fighter.

Antonio Cervantes vs Ricky Hatton

[BoxBuzz]

Hmmm seems we both answered the same query. So I'll say that McCallum KO's Williams in 11th, when his body shots finally are just too much for the incredibly athletic Williams. Mike says he's never been so beaten up in a winning effort and gives great credit to Paul.

[My2Sense]

Antonio Cervantes vs Ricky Hatton

Cervantes survives Hatton's fast and furious early onslaught, then comes from behind to KO him with some well-placed bombs in or around the 8th round.


Next up, a tripple header:

The preliminary bout: Tito Trinidad vs. Paul Williams at 147

The semi-final: Tito Trinidad vs. Paul Williams at 154

Main event: Tito Trinidad vs. Paul Williams at 160

[Jaywheel]

Trinidad beats Williams in their 1st matchup (at 147 lbs). Tito has an even better start than Quintana and sends Williams down twice in the first third of the fight. Williams catches Tito in the 7th for a flash knockdown and Tito loses a point for a low blow and a rabbit punch at the same time shortly after. Still, Tito wins by majority decision at 147.

At 154, Williams seems much stronger and durable than at 147. He's able to keep Tito at bay for the first few rounds and even though Tito is still stalking him around at the final bell, Williams wins this one by split decision, Julie Lederman scoring it 114-113(!!!) for Tito.

At 160, Williams punishes Tito badly. He is no RJJ washed up and unleashes power punches after power punches on the chubby looking Tito. Williams by brutal KO in 4.


Next up:

HW: Robert(Bob) Cleroux (1961 version) vs Earnie Shavers (1981 version)
WW: Dave Hilton jr (1984 version) vs Ike Quartey (1993 version)

Jerry Quarry vs Jimmy Ellis-15 Rounds



Undercard:

Tommy Burns(1908) vs Tommy Morrison(1990)-10 Rounds

[harrygreb]

ellis is clever enough to outpoint jerry again. quarry doesnt bring anything new a year on from the last ellis fight and jimmy wins a clear UD

ellis UD 15

morrison is too strong for burns and gives him quite a working over after the first two rounds. finally the ref stops the punishment in the 5th after 3 knock downs spelt bad news for tommy burns.

morrison TKO 5


heavyweight title
floyd patterson v sam langford...both at their peak

undercard
featherweight world title
mcguigan defends his world crown

injin chi (challenger) v barry mcguigan (champion)

[allworld80]

Patterson does it again, defeating another ATG. His skill set allows him to pepper Langford for much of the fight while avoiding any major damage. Langford has his moments, and his desire cannot be questioned. Patterson UD.

McGuigan takes Chi apart with a bruising attack, and wins a lopsided UD.

DLH pulls out lame, so....

Shane Mosley vs Felix Trinidad @ 147. The year is 1999

[My2Sense]

Bernard Hopkins vs Michael Spinks @ LHW

Hopkins makes it a difficult and ugly fight by moving & grabbing, but Spinks keeps up the pressure and controls the fight (especially down the stretch) with his jab and well-placed powerpunches.

Spinks by clear decision.


Next up, another light-heavy match: Harold Johnson vs. Tommy Loughran.
