Have any of you ever seen a fighter gambling with pretending to be hurt by a punch in order to make his opponent open up and take advantage on that? If yes where?

I think Pascal was trying to do something like that during the final rd of his fight with Bute.

Hell, how in the blue hell can I forget get Sugar Ray Leonard playing possum in the 9th round against Hagler when he launches his 13 punch flurry to get him off of him?



@patscorpio I used to hate Snipes as a kid when he fought Holmes. However, I met him at the first fight I ever attended as a late birthday present in Ft. Bragg at the infamous Anthony Hembrick vs. Booker T. Word fight. Dude was extremely nice and cordial. He must have hung around about an hour after the fight talking, taking pics and signing autographs. My dad and I still get a chuckle about that night.



Boy, do I miss Al Albert and Sean O'Grady on USA's Tuesday Night Fights. If I ever get a hold of the boxer's singing 12 Days of Christmas, my life will be complete.

Andy Lee vs. John Jackson (Boxing)
Rich Franklin vs. Chuck Liddell (MMA)
you think Lee was just pretending that?
I always thought he was hurt but he just got saved by his big ass right hook

Similar thing happened to him against Korobov although iirc there he wasn't hurt just outboxed pretty bad and then the hook came

I used to have it on VHS along with Gerald McClellan interview and a separate James Toney calling out Mike Tyson in 1995.

Tape was destroyed during a move:mjcry:

Andrade just insists on taking these pointless no name career mode fights that are pretty much lateral moves for his career.

shyt is disgusting and sad at the same time. :snoop:
especially if he ends up getting a bad or or even losing to one (a la Terry Norris vs the back-of-the-head jobber)
