Glenn Tapia looking good

The kid looked real good coming back from his first loss. Dawson just went the distance with trout and dropped him twice yet Tapia boxed nicely the first two rds then completely annihilated him in the 3rd.

If he can continue to improve i see Tapia making some noise in the jmw division.

Impressive win for Tapia and it also adds a little bit of extra credibility to the Canelo-Kirkland fight, since that was Kirkland's impressive bounce-back win after his controversial DQ over Carlos Molina (which many fans thought was a gimme for Kirkland).
Yup thats right.

Tapia has heavy hands when he lands he hurts and now with an experienced guy in his corner showing him how to compose himself i see a bright future for him.

So you upbraid Frampton when he thrashes a contender in Avalos yet start this thread because Tapia dominated a soon to be 38 year old who hasn't won since 2013 and handily lost to every notable opponent he's faced, as well as 12-4 Frank LoPorto? Dawson also needed two fights to beat mediocre Virgil Kalakoda and only just edged him by MD in a rematch, which shows how limited he is, and he was outclassed at every point of the Trout fight aside from the knockdowns. Tapia beating him this way isn't particularly impressive and does little to suggest that Tapia is anything better than the second-tier fighter (while Frampton is clearly first-tier and world class) who was butchered against Kirkland.

Oh and by the way the fight wasn't in America so it means fuckk all :lol:

Are you really that stupid?

No one here was saying Tapia was p4p material shiit no one was even talking about this fight. Yet last week ppl here were acting like Frampon just took out Rigo, nonito and lsc in one night.

Tapia had a good win after suffering the biggest loss if his career and showed improvement.

But to show you how protected Frampton is the Dawson win was still a better win than Avalos was for Frampton. Shiit atleast Dawson faced former champs in geal and trout and gave a decent account of himself.

Tell me who the fuuck did avalos ever face that was as good as trout and Geal? No fuucking one.

And yeah idiot unlike Frampton atleast Tapia has the balls to fight out of his area.

Now do me a favor and go fuuck off.

Only two people posted in that thread before you did and no one remotely suggested that Frampton's win was tantamount to him taking out LSC, Rigo, and Donaire in one night; it seems to me like you have a poor memory or elementary reading comprehension skills, or both. You then came strolling in and posted the following:
Man these cats aint shiit as long as they keep staying home they can keep winning but have them travel out and face real comp and they will get fuucked up.
Yea an Irish lad or euro kid might go goo goo gaga over them at him but you havent done shiit unless you come to the states.
Rigo and Santa cruz would own frampton brutally.
Dawson hasn't beaten one opponent who was even a fringe-contender and has never gotten close to being a legitimate top ten fighter in his division like Avalos has. Sure, Dawson has fought some good opponents but who gives a fuckk when he's hardly won a round in those fights? I'm not sure if you were looking to get a laugh or two, but I got a good chuckle out of you starting a thread praising Tapia for beating a mediocre, soon to be 38 year old who hasn't won since 2013 while suggesting that Frampton 'ain't shiit' right after he thrashed a contender. And again, doesn't Tapia's win mean F-all considering it wasn't in the US? :lol:

Tapia seems like a solid, second-tier fighter (unlike the elite Frampton) and for his sake I hope he's improved, because the one time he fought someone better than Abraham Han he was totally out of his depth and took a frightening beating.

Glen Tapia seems to have calmed down since some of his previous fights and was measured and controlled against Daniel Dawson.
Tapia's right hand hit the target in the first round as Dawson was moving in on him throughout, it was a fairly close technical round from both boxers that I thought Tapia edged.
Tapia won the battle of the left hooks as well as a decent jab to give himself the early lead during the 2nd, Dawson sneaked in a glancing straight right but looked to be coming up short or had his hooks blocked to add to his problems.
Tapia ended the session well with his jab and clearly won that round.
A left hook and solid body shot from Tapia early in the 3rd signalled a potential takeover for the first time as Dawson looked slightly sloppy trying to return fire, consecutive right hands scored for Tapia forcing Dawson to hold on as the heat was being turned up on him.
Tapia backed up Dawson from the centre of the ring into the corner and unleashed a barrage of punches to no reply from Dawson and the referee had no option but to stop Dawson on his feet.
Legitimate stoppage and Tapia walks away with a solid win under his belt.

Again who has Avalos faced that are better fighters than Geal and Trout?

You say oh who gives a fuuck who he faced if he didn't perform well but it does matter anyone one could tell you that but ofcourse if your looking to discredit Tapia and credit Frampton well obviously you wont wanna see it that way.

Oh and dont forget Dawson dropped trout twice and in a losing effort showed more against an elite fighter in Trout than Avalos ever had against all the guys he faced.

I made a thread about Tapia because he looked much improved compared to his last outings. But never did i say the kid is p4p material or say he's the next greatest thing.

Aftet Framptons win over Avalos ppl were talking as if he actually beat a top fighter. Frampton is s stay at home babied fighter who i doubt will ever fight in the states.

Cry all you want but in boxing if you wanna make it big you gotta come to America. Look at Duran, chavez, hamed, hatton, canelo, ggg, etc

As much as it hurts you to say you know where its at.

Try and read more carefully.

I think Frampton is better than Geale and Trout, but it doesn't matter. Dawson was badly out of his depth against each of them and was almost shut out over 22 rounds; any fighter could step in the ring with excellent opponents but if they have very little success it doesn't reflect positively on their abilities.

You can then look at the rest of his record and note that he couldn't even beat mediocre Frank LaPorto, drew with similarly mediocre Virgil Kalakoda before just squeaking by him in a rematch, was stopped after not winning a round against light-hitting Dzin, has arguably beaten no one better than shot Alex Bunema, hasn't won since 2013, and is nearly 38.

Avalos isn't great, but he's got wins over contender Drian Francisco, he beat then undefeated prospects Khabir Suleymanov and Yenifel Vicente, he knocked out Yasutaka Ishimoto right after the latter beat Wilfredo Vasquez Jr., and in losing his first IBF title challenge he floored unbeaten Jonathon Romero and was competitive in only dropping a SD. Dawson, for all his one-sided losses to top opposition, doesn't have a collection of performances that is at least that impressive and I don't think he's even outdone Avalos's blowout of former world title challenger Rolly Lunas, who went the distance with Anselmo Moreno and hadn't lost in three years when Avalos KO'd him in three.

Yet despite this, after Frampton battered Avalos you kept blabbering about how he hasn't done shitt, would get thrashed by LSC, and hasn't proved anything until he's fought in America, while then starting a thread of praise for Tapia based on a win in China over the mighty Dawson......funny stuff kiddy boy. :lol:

No one said you did, and no one said that Frampton beating Avalos was equivalent to him beating Rigo, LSC, and Donaire on the same night. These were the three comments made before you entered the thread with your crude, abrasive, and unintelligent comments:

"Just saw the fight and Carl Frampton looked impressive stopping Avalos, his boxing and punching was spot on."--Evander

"In my opinion one of the most well-rounded fighters in the sport and the best at 122, and no, I'm not forgetting Rigo."--crusader

"Sounds like they want to have a domestic square off with Scott Quigg, that would be good."--Evander

As you can see---unless your reading comprehension is really that bad, which I suspect it might be--none of these comments remotely suggest that Frampton beating Avalos was equivalent to beating LSC, Rigo, and Donaire on the same night, so your suggestion that people were raving to that extent about Frampton's performance is hyperbolic bullshitt.
Aftet Framptons win over Avalos ppl were talking as if he actually beat a top fighter. Frampton is s stay at home babied fighter who i doubt will ever fight in the states.
Go read the thread again like I just did. There was some praise for Frampton's performance but nothing more favorable then what you've written about Tapia and no one suggested that Avalos was a top fighter. You've resorted to bullshitting again, unless your memory or reading comprehension, or both, are so bad that you genuinely thought people were depicting Avalos as anything more than solid but notably limited.

The top fighters at 122 are Rigo, LSC, and Quigg, and only one of them is American, not to mention an American who almost entirely fights in the US and mainly does so on undercards against guys barely scraping the top 30. Frampton, on the other hand, is headlining sold out arena shows as the A-side and his last fight drew millions of viewers, something which isn't true of the others, and a Quigg fight would likely headline a PPV. I see no reason why he has to come to the US, unless perhaps he wants to share an undercard with LSC.
Cry all you want but in boxing if you wanna make it big you gotta come to America. Look at Duran, chavez, hamed, hatton, canelo, ggg, etc

As much as it hurts you to say you know where its at.
All those fighters are/were bigger than Frampton, who competes in a division that traditionally doesn't get much attention in the US, there is only one top American fighter at the weight, and that fighter is stuck fighting unknown opponents on undercards.

That said, I'm not denying that Frampton could raise his profile by fighting in the US, just as someone like LSC could become more known globally if he fought in the UK, but you suggested that fighters "havent done shiit" until they compete in America and that is nonsense. If a fighter consistently beats the best opponents in his division while no one else does has he proved nothing if those bouts didn't happen in the US? You also seem to have no problem highly praising Tapia for a win he earned roughly 8000 miles outside the US.

Someone's ability as a fighter is shown inside the ring based on how they perform against a certain level of opposition and geography isn't an overriding factor that renders that moot. Sure, a performance may be more impressive if it's given outside a boxer's home country and in a place where they aren't as well supported, but that applies to all boxers, whether American, British, Russian, Japanese and so forth.
