If only Botham has invested his whole energy on cricket instead of other activities he would have become the greatest all rounder ever.He was such a rare talent.And despite his weaknesses we Indians love him so much.A superb player, would have become a great player in any sports ,football,baseball , athletics , anything.
I love this fight, you can appreciate Nelson’s ferocity vs Sanchez slickness. Truly the slickest boxer ever. And the referee stopped the fight right on time to avoid unnecessary punishment to Nelson.
Vinny with all due respect isn't much of a sophisticated and proper fighter.. he's like a mad bull in an arena but because of his diamond chin he can survive for an eternity.. I guess that's the secret to his success! ❤
Growing up in the 70s and 80s, Ian was my idol. Those times, a radio was so much a luxury not least a TV. But this video has transported me into that time and rediscover my youth. What a great all-rounder he had been that Cricket had been served by. Hats off, Sir Ian!
THIS IS THE REASON I’m confused about the DEFINITION of Boxer vs Puncher these LAST 24 years. In MY OPINION the Philly Shell is NOT a BOXERS TECHNIQUE, it’s definitely a DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUE but not a BOXERS technique because the FEET ARE STILL STATIONARY (PLANTED WITHOUT MOVEMENT). People characterize BIVOLS technique against CANELO as Boxing but if you really watch the film YES he had head movement and PERRY DEFENSE but HIS FEET WAS STILL STATIONARY. He (BIVOL) was still standing in front of Canelo to be hit, so how is that considered boxing? If you look at Thomas Hearns in this fight HE WAS CLEARLY THE PUNCHER out of the TWO but his FOOTWORK still MAKES HIM A PUNCHER with A BOXERS FOOTWORK because he can CONSTANTLY CIRCLE WITH MOVEMENT without LOSING HIS ABSOLUTE PUNCHING POWER. Riddick Bowe, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield IN MY OPINION are considered MORE PURER BOXERS THAN in today’s boxing style from Featherweight to Heavyweight from Round 1 to Round 6 BECAUSE just for those 6 ROUNDS they had MORE CIRCLER FOOTWORK for 6 Rounds than 99.5% of the FIGHTERS TODAY in a ENTIRE FIGHT. Because by round 7 I didn’t expect those Heavyweights TO STAY ON THEIR TOES because the LEGS started getting heavy BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT CLASS. To me to prepare to fight someone like Beterbiev you would have to SPAR FOR 2:00 minute (36 Rounds EVERY SESSION) to PREPARE TO STAY ON YOUR TOES for the ENTIRE 12 Rounds because YOU WILL DEFINITELY NEED YOUR FOOTWORK (BICYCLE) and to KEEP YOUR ABSOLUTE POWER because you KNOW HE’S COMING LIKE A TANK. YOU WOULD NEED THE FOOTWORK OF SUGAR RAY LEONARD and the POWER & POP of THOMAS HEARNS and the ONLY WAY to sustain this is by LONG SPARRING SESSIONS. NO LATE NIGHT BOOTY CALLS, DRINKING WITH YOUR FRIENDS, or BLAZING THE GUNJA: really PUTTING IN WORK to prepare for a WAR IN THE RING. YOU HAVE TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS OF TODAY to completely DEDICATE YOURSELF TO YOUR CRAFT; it TRULY DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH you are willing to push your LIMITS IN THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN 🌊
Frazier one this fight by a round or two maximum as two of the referees called it. I wonder how many punches they both landed on each other…must be an insane stat….
Deciphering Nelson was no easy task, a true legend of the ring. Such was the technical composure of Sanchez that when he found the pattern in that left hook he was clinical in its delivery. The timing and the power really undid Nelson, who started to through wildly from the last 1/3 of the fight. A rematch would have been a great event, but not sure there would have been any other outcome than another Sanchez KO win.
I m young boy. My grandpa wake me up for all this great fights . Early morning germany . Now i m 62. Never forget Muhammed Ali, Cassius Clay the greatest off all time.
Salvador Sánchez fue uno de los boxeadores más completos de la historia,,, para mi lo tenía todo,,, era rápido, muy técnico encajaba y además tenía una piedra en cada mano y sabía adaptarse a cualquier tipo de técnica que utizase el rival,, y sobre todo inteligente,,, todo lo que hacía lo hacía de corte natural,, pareciese que no le costaba trabajo 🥊
