they showed each other too much respect IMO. Swift was playing defense too much and Keith doing too much dancing. Once Keith found he really couldnt hurt Swift, he pretty much just wanted to box it out.
He hurt him in the first he just went for the safe win after like 9 rounds

The fight itself wasn't as bad as the last 3 rounds were

I think it was the opposite. keith already knew he could hurt danny because he had already hurt him. But I think he knew danny could hurt him as well, which is why he didn't wanna take any risks. so we just had just two guys in there who were nervous about eachothers power and refused to put themselves in harm's way.

Hoping that L gets into Swifts head that he has to let his damn hands go

The last rd Keith decided to go toe to toe ( I think the 6th) was one of Swifts best rds

Thurman said fukk all that N moved...Danny didn't do shyt N kept his hands in his pocket after that :scust:

He matches Thurmans output instead of the bullshyt he was doing in 7,8,9 N he gets the decision :manny:

He caught him with some good shots but I dont remember him really be "hurt". At the top level, Keith aint knocking anybody out like he did earlier in his career. Neither is Swift. Keith is a good boxer puncher and I think I was one of the few people who praised him for his underrated boxing ability a few years ago. This is why I was high on him. Its just that now....its going to be tough for him. He is clearly the man at 147 with the wins over Swift and Porter, but I dont think he is going to remain on top for long is all. I am really hoping he fights Spence or Crawford in the next 18 months.

yeah, gotta rewatch that. didnt remember, only seen it once, but one thing for sure was. I didnt think Keith was gonna KO him. I picked Keith to win by unanimous decision. it went pretty much like I thought but I did expect a lil more from both. I'd like a rematch. I am not knocking either guy. I think you have a very deep division. I think that Spence is future of it....but as I said....for an annointed fighter, there couldnt be a tougher fight than Brook. Oddly enough...I do think Spence can stop him.

all I want is aesthetics like this :mjcry:.....I always wonder how these fighters can blow up between fights. eating like absolute shyt, then cut back down and be shredded again without losing any muscle. ideally you want to cut around 0.5 lbs a week to maintain as much muscle as possible. but these dudes can lose over 30 lbs in 8 weeks and still be as yoked as ever. shyt blows my mind. i'm doing something wrong:francis:

do these two really blow up though? water weight? I mean Hatton was absolutely fat and he could get down. he had to be using something to cut weight tho...ODLH used to be the same way sorta.

Spence and Brook are two really ripped guys. When Brook went up he was still pretty ripped. but yeah...I would love to go through a camp like some of these guys just once to make optimal fighting weight.

I disagree in that but I get it otherwise
