Just watched Ronbinson-Fullmer I

[Rumsfeld]

Entertaining.

Amazing the way Fullmer pounded on Ray's mug everytime they clinched.

:smoke

Fullmer actually boxed with Ray in that fight. He showed what a deceptively good (if unorthodox-looking) boxer he was.

The way he was hitting when they were clinching reminded me of a less slick version of Hopkins on the inside.

Interesting fight.

I have not seen a whole lot of SRR footage, but he seemed a bit more flat-footed in this one than I was accustomed to seeing, at least in the early going.

What a tough hombre that Fullmer was though. You just couldn't discourage the guy and he was extremely effective at making the competition fight a Fullmer fight and not the other way around.

And that's one helluva task being long in the tooth and taking on a guy like Fullmer.

rumsfield where you getting this fight im finding it hard to get

[klompton]

Fullmer fought super dirty and should have been DQd in that fight. Even so it was close and in my opinion Im not so sure Robinson shouldnt have gotten a draw. Fullmer got away with so much garbage during his career its ridiculous. Easily one of the dirtiest fighters Ive ever seen. His brother Don was like a small version of Gene only without what limited talent Gene had.

I DVR'd it. It was on one of the ESPN's recently.

Fullmer fought super dirty and should have been DQd in that fight.

Yes, he appeared to be fighting dirty, but he was punching until the ref broke them up and Robinson wasn't doing much in terms of complaining.

Tough to blame Fullmer for that.,

Even so it was close and in my opinion Im not so sure Robinson shouldnt have gotten a draw.

SRR was technically floored twice. My initial impression was that Fullmer definitely won.

This type of fouling was flagrant in this period. It sucked how they let it go on like that.

[Rumsfeld]

No, it skipped a few random rounds here and there along the way, but it showed most of the fight.

Yeah, it does suck, but I would rather have watched most of the fight than have not seen it at all, ya know?

Keep in mind Ray was a ring worn nearly 36 year old .

Never been a fan of Fullmer ,he was very strong and durable , average boxer ,average puncher ,and dirty,especially with his head. Even Giardello ,who could be naughty, said Fullmer was a dirty bastard.

[klompton]

One of the knockdowns against Robinson was a total cross between a trip and a body slam. I dont recall the other, I just remember if you discount Fullmers illegal tactics his LEGAL tactics werent effective enough for the win and he should have been DQd. It may be this fight or another Fullmer fight that the ref commented he agreed Fullmer fought dirty but he couldnt DQ him because that was the only way Fullmer knew how to fight. Pretty lame answer if you ask me.

[Dempsey1238]

I do have the fight complete.

Fullmer was dirty.
