FOTY candidate for sure. Alot of good fights in boxing this year.
Man! You said it.. Isn’t 2017 an incredible year so far for boxing? :D
Power plus from both these guys! Great action. I would think that they would both have severe headaches after this fight. Ugono showed ineperience in not maintaing his guard and becoming a runner like Mayweather.
Enjoyed that
Great entertaining fight!
Rd3 is ROTY candidate for sure.
Ugonoh
can come back from this. Wladimir Klitschko got knocked out twice in the early stages of his career. People thought Wladimir would turn out to be a nobody after that and he’s not done too bad. It’ll take a great deal of mental strength though. Ugonoh needs to work on his defence, maybe try a new coach and personally, I think he may have been rushed as this was a step too soon for him. I could see in the first round how much talent he has but it’s so raw, those hands were too low as Evander Holyfield said and he was eating jabs like breakfast. Big respect to Brezeale though, great chin.
Absolutely! Izu will come back for sure. He needs more rounds and a better gameplan/preparation. He’s got skills.
Excellent fight plenty of knock downs with a very impressive but short fighter. Ugonoh is really good with a very sound technique, good punching power, and a fast connecting guy. His body work was superb but unfortunately got exhausted. Anyhow, a boxer to be watched closely. Dominic was good as usual but very lucky since this fight was all Ugonoh.
Wilder-Washington, Hurd-Harrison, Breazeale-Ugonoh were all pretty much the same story in which the favorite is outclassed by the underdog for a few rounds until punching power suddenly turned the tide in a few seconds.
nigeriano-polish boxer seriously wrong
with little intelligence and endurance could have win the fight
Great fight. Ugonoh has great potential, but needs to shore up his defense and punching mechanics. There were a lot of times he put his hands out to deflect a punch vs. just getting tight in the guard, leaving him open to an opposite hand punch from Dominic. His punching mechanics are also a little sloppy, with the habit of dropping the hand first before punching. He’s got speed to overcome the telegraphing, but when he gassed, it was easy to see.
Breazeale… man he needs to get in shape. His jab is still painfully slow. Heart yes, but heart also leads to micro-concussions.
3 étoiles? Come on guys it’s ridiculous! 4 stars at least.
¡Ay, caramba! ¿Three estrellas? Estás loco…
