Richar Abril seems to stand out for me. Brandon Rios had a nightmare catching him clean but came away with the points decision somehow?

The only time I've ever seen a boxer punch their opponent in the head whilst the head was actually in the floor after a knockdown.Rexob wrote:Carlos Maussa terrible style and horrible to fight against.

Diego Chaves. Relentless fighter just getting better. I can definitely see why Kell Brook ducked out on that fight.

James Toney's boxing (at lower weights, anyway) was beautiful, not awkward.Tanzio wrote:James Lights Out / The Burger King Toney
Difficult fighter to compete against doesn't = awkward.

No idea. I can only assume the ref figured, that after all he'd seen for 6 round or so, that Maussa had no fvcking clue what he was doing.jezzamundo wrote:Thanks for pointing that out, hadn't seen it before - crazy stuff, how wasn't he disqualified?!Lenny Cravats wrote:The only time I've ever seen a boxer punch their opponent in the head whilst the head was actually in the floor after a knockdown.Rexob wrote:Carlos Maussa terrible style and horrible to fight against.

Fair enough. I think that Toney was awkwardly beautiful in his approach. Awkward is not (always) equivalent to ugly.Joe Boxer wrote:James Toney's boxing (at lower weights, anyway) was beautiful, not awkward.Tanzio wrote:James Lights Out / The Burger King Toney
