Manny Pacquiao in RSF 10 Erik Morales
January 21, 2006; Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV
Erik Morales blamed on weight and too many “tough fights” for why he lost to Manny Pacquiao in their rematch. This way of thinking of a boxer, especially as cruel and proud as Morales, praising where it is often the most tough in the world. But there was no doubt what the biggest factor was: “Pacman” – approaching his peak years – was brilliant from beginning to end. The Filipino was overtaken by Morales 10 months earlier, but in the continuation he was more calculating and exact when he gradled from Mexico, which clearly tires from the fifth. “Everything is not there,” said Freddie Roach to Pacquiao before 10^th. Manny properly finished his work.

Do you know? In the years 2005–2018 Pacquiao won six of the seven fights, in which the slightly spared Super Feather WBC strap was on the line when Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez maintained a real WBC bar until the latter lost him with Manny in 2008. What WBC would do for the franchise championships.

Watch out for: Morales’ mind worsens during the fight. At the beginning of the fight, he complains about sore legs. At the end of nine, he uses them to escape from his torturer.

“The Wrecker of Champions” – when boxing epithets are not bad. The owner of this Sobriquet was a warrior from London East End, called Children’s socks. His career stretched in the years 1922–1934 and received over 200 professionals-on his eyes, but the socks were not a journeyman. At various times of fighting, apart from the title, he defeated the prevailing masters of flying in Europe, Great Britain, France, Belgium and Ireland, as well as the prevailing titles of Bantameight Britain and France.

This was of course in the era of eight widely recognized weights with one world champion in each of them, when the possession of the British title was perhaps similar to the recognition of today’s world crown. The elegant sock record is 107-77-25, but he has never won any title that says a lot about the flies caliber, Bantam and featherweight competing in Great Britain.

The kid was born in 1904 in Bethnal Green, Eastern London. His real name is George Stockings, but he changed it into boxing goals to more suitable socks for children. After boxing as an amateur for the Webbe Institute, the socks changed Pro at the age of 18 and from the very beginning were heavily matched. Some of these early fights were losses, but when he developed “WS” he soon surpassed “LS”.

In March 1924, just 18 months after overturning, the socks faced the future world champion of Bantamweight Teddy Baldock (then 17-0) at the British Boxing headquarters, the National Sporting Club (NSC). “I learned as much on socks as everyone else,” Baldock remembered. “He could adapt me to the speed, but he did not wear a excavation. It was arduous for me to hit him in rinsing … and when the last bell sounded, I returned to my angle fully satisfied that I was beaten for the first time. But the judge did this draw, and my supporters said that I was robbed, but I apologize for the socks.

A year later, socks fought through the best fly authorities in the country. He performed the prevailing British and Europe champion, Elky Clark from Glasgow, in a 12-round non-electual fight in the Royal Albert Hall, and then 10 months later he got the title match with Clark in NSC. Bn He called this “one of the fastest, purest and most arduous battles that one could hope that diminutive men.” But the limit of the 20 rounds against the difficult -striking Scot turned out to be too much for the socks, who as Bn “Assimilation terrible blows with steadfast courage” in the last few rounds have been observed. The kid lasted until 20, when the judge intervened. This and the lost battle for Bantameight Bantamweight in Australia, in 1928, were the only title fights of the socks.

Many other outstanding names organize his record – world champion Panama Al Brown, Victor “Juvenile” Perez and Emile Padner (with whom the socks drew) and the British titles Len Harvey, Nel Tarleton, Kid Pattenden, Dick Corbett, “Spider” Jim Kelly and Johnny Brown British master Bantameight). In 1929, the socks lost 15-year-old to 16-year-old boxing Wonderboy Nipper Pat Daly, who, although the winning one, described the kid as “one of the smartest fighters I met.”

Although diminutive, even for a fly or bantam, socks fought for a featherweight. He was amazing in predicting a rival’s movements, wise with counteracting and extremely quick with legs and fists, but he lacked a harmful blow. Bethnal Green Feather Wwweight Ted Kirkland, whose socks they managed in the 1930s, remembered: “He was nice, caring and put much more in boxing than ever he got out of him. One night he was promoted to Hoxton Baths, he was in the account. The kid died in 1972 at the age of 68.

George Foreman in Ko 5 Ron Lyle
January 24, 1976; Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, NV
January was a good month for George Foreman. Throughout his entire career he fought nine times in the first month of the year, winning a knockout or stop each time. The most unforgettable and invigorating of them was his wild fight with Ron Lyle in Las Vegas, which even today stands at a high level of heavyweight. Some time has passed to start; Compared to what happened, the opening round was peaceful, and the second was noteworthy only because the bell sounded after two minutes. Hell dissolved in the third, when Foreman dressed Lyle before the fire really roared in the fourth; Foreman first hit the deck, Lyle left his right hand, then undermined Substantial George at the end of the round. But the January blues were Lyle in fifth place, when 17 without answers sent him and went out.

Do you know? It was the first fight that took place in the sports pavilion in Caesars. It was built in 1975 for tennis “spectacular” with the participation of Jimmy Connors. The last boxing action, which took place in 1996, when Oscar de la Hoya defeated Darryl Tyson.

Watch out for: Has there ever had a better stroller than the fourth?
