Baldo's chin

[Johnnyblaze]

Am I the only one who is impressed with Baldomir's chin? His jaw is straight granite!! He didn't have any business in there with Forrest, but he ate some hard shots and never even took a step back! He walked through everything Vernon through and I am very impressed.

[andyZOR]

His chin is great.

[Amsterdam]

I give it a rating of "titanium". That's the highest on the ESB chin checker scale.

[Johnnyblaze]

He kinda reminded me of Andrade against Kessler.

I'd have to agree...Carlos can take a huge shot

[Toopretty]

Baldomir's is as tough as they come..his chin and that noggin is pure titanium alloy or whatever the strongest metal is....Forrest threw some serious shots that would of knocked half the guys out cold..I mean pin point on the button and baldomir didnt even flinch...he was hurt to the body but to the head he laughed..and he was really laughing....you cant blame judah or floyd for not taking this guy out....no fucking way..you would need a bat ...a loaded one at that.

Haha, agreed. His body is pretty solid too, no homo.:good

[H .]

His chin was impressive tonight

[WhataRock]

Very very tough guy.

He is pretty average in all other aspects and he has done really well to get as far as he has.
If you had told me 2 years ago if he was going to be fighting Gatti, beating Judah and getting millions to get in the ring with the best fighter in the world I would have said you were crazy.

Its the man's ability to take a shot and his sheer will that has brought him this far.

Judah stunned him!:lol:

That's not a joke either, Baldomir admitted that Zab hurt him with several straight lefts early. Judah can punch.

I agree..judah did..I thought judah was going to take him out but..baldomir...man...that dome...but JUDAH CAN PUNCH..his ditractors always will say otherwise but anybody who ever boxed or thrown a punch knows judahs left hand is no joke.:deal

I could see Kermit Cintron stopping Baldo to be honest

Definitley. Cintron's still a question mark, but he's looking better and better.

[Jinx]

Forrest never landed a big shot flush on the point of Baldomir's chin...that said, Baldy has a granite chin, but he also does a great job of keeping his chin tucked...something Judah and others need to learn how to do...

[Toopretty]

Cintron..is another story...that right hand is vicious. I mean vicious. If he gets better he has the punch to knock anybody out.

[Jason997]

Baldo is a solid fighter. His speed was pretty good tonight, his chin was solid, he simply wasn't as good. No shame in any of this. Great effort by a solid guy with a lot of heart.

Just a question...Did you have any doubt about the outcome of this fight? I ask you this question because I didn't. The only question/concern I had was about Forrest being able to KO Baldomir.

Not really.
It wasnt impossible for Baldo though, Forrest has been pretty quiet lately and he isnt young.

But I wasnt suprised how easy Forrest done that, the gap in skill and class was always apparent to me. Just wasnt sure if Forrest was physically and mentally all there anymore.

[good right hand]

i have never seen boldamire fight but from what i have heard,

this guys shoulders is wide!!!

i have a feeling that bodoamire is big man in a smaller class, im thinking he could fill out 200lbs and not look fat.

I knew forrest could not KO baldomir. As I knew floyd couldnt either. I didnt think Forrest was going to own him like he did. I thought forrest was going to play it safe as his corner was telling him to do all fight. But he was healthy, I didnt know that either b/c he looked like pure crap in the quartay fight. But, yes. In no way shape or form I thought baldomir could pull a mayorga. Big power difference.:good

The Viper looked solid tonight, flash back of his prime days. :smoke

I want it to be tested more.

WHose heavy puncher has he faced so far?

Only Zab? Was he hit clean by Superman?

Many people were not surprised, ....trust me.... some posters said before the fight actually happend (Lance and Zakman I think ) that the only way Baldomir could win was by a lucky shot or something gone wrong with Forrest.

In other words, he could have a chance only if something could have happened to Forrest.....something like a physical problem....other than that he was a seating duck.:yep

Baldomir is a fighter who comes to fight, and as you pointed out he doesn't have power and besides that he's not skillful.

To be honest with you...I think that the Mayorga who defeated Forrest the first time would have defeated Baldomir as well.

Baldomir won the 147 belt because shit happens, probably the same way that Mayorga won the belt, however, I give Mayorga more chances to defeat other boxers than the chances that I could give to Baldomir.

Baldomir was perhaps the weakest or one of the weakest linear champions at 147 ever.

Clottey, who couldn't drop him without punching him in the nuts repeatedly.

[brooklyn1550]

I knew Forrest would take this...he is simply a cut above
