Gervonta “Tank” Davis moved up to junior welterweight to challenge the undefeated Mario Barrios for Barrios’ title. Davis, who has won titles in the junior lightweight and lightweight divisions, found himself fighting a naturally bigger fighter and Barrios’ size proved a hinderance in the early rounds as he faced trouble getting inside Barrios 다운로드.
Barrios used his jab effectively to keep Davis away from him and Davis found himself behind on most observers’ cards going into the second half of the fight. Showtime had him down 59-55 and I had the fight at 58-56 in favor of Barrios 다운로드.

On June 4, 2012, at the age of 87, Enrique Bolanos, top lightweight contender, passed away. I never saw him fight, but had the pleasure of meeting him and his lovely wife Ruby at various boxing venues. According to people I know that saw him fight, he was a magnificent boxer that packed southland arenas and stadiums in the Los Angeles area like no other in the golden era of boxing (the 40’s and 50’s) 다운로드.
He engaged in over 100 bouts, winning 79, and fought all the best boxers of his time. Some of the top fighters he faced were Manuel Ortiz, Chalky Wright, Ike Williams, Jackie Wilson, Joey Barnum, John Thomas, Art Aragon, Maxie Docusen, Jimmy Carter, and Paddy DeMarco.

As many of my faithful readers and friends know, my greatest lightweight of all time and #2 greatest boxer “pound for pound” of all time is Benny Leonard 탱고음악 다운로드.
At the height, peak, prime, pinnacle of his career he was flawless. His boxing mechanics in the ring – feints, ducks, sidesteps, and hooks – were textbook, with a terrific left-hand piston jab which he used to perfection 울타리 3.5 다운로드. He fought over two hundred fights and suffered only four knockouts, three early in his career and the fourth in his final fight.
Leonard, nicknamed “The Ghetto Wizard”, was similar to Sugar Ray Robinson in the fact that he had no significant weaknesses 다운로드.
Benny Leonard (Benjamin Leiner) was born in New York City on April 7, 1896. As a young kid he engaged in many street fights, gang related, in the neighborhood where he grew up 문명의 시대 아시아 다운로드. He made his professional debut on October 14, 1911 when he was just fifteen years old. Benny took the name Leonard after his true name, Leiner, was pronounced incorrectly several times; but most importantly, he made the change because he didn’t want his parents to know he was a fighter 다운로드.

Over the many years that I have rated fighters in either different weight divisions or from their born countries, this 135 pound weight class is most likely the closest in overall talent 스위치 디아블로3 다운로드.
My usual
format is ranking the top dozen (12) with a select group of honorable mentions,
but in this division I will rank my top twenty (20) great lightweights 최신 코덱 다운로드.
My rating of boxers is based on the height, peak, prime, pinnacle of their careers as I see fit. Who-beats-whom at different stages of their careers isn’t a factor in my “pound for pound” formula 다운로드.
There are
many situations where one fighter loses to another, and I actually rate the losing
fighter with a higher “pound for pound” ranking 코믹 메이플스토리 다운로드.
Some classic examples of my method are, and these are fighters that lost twice to their opponents: Gene Tunney beating Jack Dempsey, Sandy Saddler beating Willie Pep, Jim Jeffries beating Bob Fitzsimmons, Evander Holyfield beating Mike Tyson, Aaron Pryor beating Alexis Arguello, Rafael Herrera beating Ruben Olivares, Iran Barkley beating Tommy Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya beating Julio Cesar Chavez, Riddick Bowe beating Evander Holyfield, Fighting Harada beating Eder Jofre, and it goes on Netbus download!

When Teofimo Lopez Jr. and Vasiliy Lomachenko faced each other to decide the official undisputed lightweight championship of the world, the fight in the ring was close and, in the view of many, decided in the final round 다운로드. I had Lopez up by a 115-113 score, but it could have been 114-114 or 115-113 in favor of Lomachenko. Yes, it was close, and certainly closer than the scorecards indicated acdsee pro 8 다운로드.
When Lopez and Lomachenko faced off in this unification bout, the opening rounds saw Lopez control the fight with his jabs followed by body shots. The first half of the fight was a tactical fight with Lopez dominating the action 다운로드.
The biggest shock was that Lopez not only kept his composure, but that he also managed to out-box the master boxer, Lomachenko. He used his jab to keep Lomachenko off balance and used uppercuts and straight rights to the body. After the sixth round, ESPN had the fight 59-55 and I had it 60-54 in favor of Lopez.

In the co-feature main event unbeaten Teofimo Lopez (15-0 / 12 by KO) scored a second round knockout over IBF lightweight champion Richard Commey (29-3 / 26 by KO) remains.
After a slow start in the first round, Lopez dropped Commey with a spectacularly executed straight right hand 200mb 이상 다운로드. To my amazement Commey beat the count, but Lopez was on him and landed countless barrage of punches as referee David Fields stopped it at 1:13 time of round two 다운로드.

In the time that I have followed boxing there are many matches that could have happened and should have happened 다운로드. Some, like Archie Moore-Sugar Ray Robinson and Jake LaMotta-Rocky Graziano, were before my era. They might have been thrilling matches, but for one reason or another they just never came off Gimp 2 download.
One from “my era,” the early 1970’s, was Ken Buchanan against Mando Ramos. Mr. Ramos was one of my early favorites. He was just a few years older than me when he won the lightweight title in his second try versus the talented Carlos Teo Cruz, when he was barely 20 years old 다운로드. He lost the title soon after to Panama’s slick former world champion Ismael Laguna. Mando was cut up by the jabs and quick hands of Laguna. He also had trouble with Laguna’s fast feet and shifty style. Soon after Ismael Laguna handed the crown to another crafty boxer, the gritty Ken Buchanan of Scotland 다운로드.
