Sugar Ray Robinson vs Gene Fullmer II

[Jrv784]

@filipinosaregay they look nothing alike, if you wasn't to see the original and possibly the greatest technician with ko power using the philly shell style then look at footage on george benton.

[middleastboxer21]

just seems weird watching sugar ray fight in color

[81carlos]

At age 37,Sugar Ray was 142-5.Is there any other boxer who's had that record at that age?People talk about Pacquaio,Mayweather,Roy Jones and Hopkins being amazing(and they are),but they all stand in Robinson's shadow nontheless.Most of his overall losses came after the age of 39.As most boxers do,he went on way too long.

[pskeeza]

jones jr. mayweather, de la hoya, hopkins, mosley, all of them got their hooks from this man...

[FilipinosAreGay]

so that were floyd mayweather gets his hooks from oh yeah and also the footwork is very similar

[mrgor24]

I think Fullmer was expecting another right hand to the body

[025Kenneth025]

it was like Pacquiao VS Hatton fight

[JcLeopard]

@025Kenneth025 Except Gene Fullmer was a Natural Middle-Weight who was much bigger and stronger with an Iron Chin.

[loyaldude10]

Robinson was 37 at time of this fight? And ko'd a tough brawler only 4 mos after brutal first fight? No debate----Robinson was greatest fighter ever

[ConTurk]

Got to be the best left hook I've ever seen In boxing. Holy Shit it was good!!!!

[bangitslo]

@ConTurk Check out Bob Foster's Left Hook against Mike Quarry - It's here on YouTube. Then you'll change your mind.

[countchocula342]

Im actually related to Gene. He is my great uncle. Ive never had the chance to meet him. I live all the way in Pennsylvania and have never had the chance to meet pretty much my dads whole side of the family which mostly resides in Utah. Its weird looking at Gene in these films he looks alot like my dad. Kinda freaky!

[brybry19871987]

Wow little out of sync maybe?

[dempsey981]

i dont think ive ever seen a sweeter,smoother,short ,lightning,devastating hook any better than that.i dont know how any body ever beat that machine.

[TommyGun7111]

palvik would be destroyed by robinson. it wouldn't even be a long fight. 

[dirtyjew1974]

these classic fights are fantastic, this is when boxing really meant something!

[fistofate]

He'd just hit them first and duck, slip or roll with their counters. He didn't swing all his weight behind punches because it's better to hit guys two or three times than miss with a wild swing. He was ACCURATE. I think all that stuff was taught to him by Robinson.

[fistofate]

However, when he was young, he was so fast it didn't make a difference. Later in his career though, he got outboxed twice by Paul Pender of Boston, who would get his punches off before Robinson and tie him up so he couldn't counter. At one point, he was helping Muhammad Ali train. Before that, Ali copied Robinson alot, but after he worked out with Robinson all the sudden he was a much straigher puncher; especially with the right hand. I think Robinson taught him that.

[chikilan11]

the best fighting machine in history of boxing. ali and leonard said that! and he killed a boxer!

[sonwamac]

The same punch delivered the same way by Muhammad Ali sent oscar Bonavena packing in rd 15 of their fight. How does anyone think Sugar Ray as a knockout puncher and middleweight compare with Julian jackson?...Strickly as a PUNCHER now...not other skills cuz there IS no comparison there...but strickly as a puncher and knockout artist who was a harder hitter Sugar Ray or J.J.? I would go with Julian Jackson

[TheGreatA]

Jackson was the bigger puncher although Robinson hit terribly hard for a welterweight and even delivered a few one punch knockouts at middleweight.

[Robstailey]

@sonwamac yea, only ali actually bounced back a little more, got his whole weight into the shot but didn't extend as much as ray, his was a little shorter and therefore didn't have quite the same impact, especially given his longer reach.

[caspergolightly]

@sonwamac For sheer naked power. Jackson. Other than that there's no comparison, as you say.

[2strong2cool]

Robinson was good but could he have traded with Pavlik? I doubt it very much

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

WTF? are you joking?

pavlik is GARBAGE, compared to Fullmer, let alone the original SUGAR RAY .

[PkingSoFast]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS

I would have loved to see Calzaghe make a fool out of Pavlik... He's an overrated boxer and wouldn't stand a chance against any of the previous great boxers of his weight.

[851cassius]

@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS I haven't read the original comment that you were replying to, but two years down the line, i'll bet people feel pretty damn stupid saying pavlik's name in the same sentence as robinson's....

[PhillyPugilist]

he woulda knock Pavilk da hell out

[ballisticbliss]

Robinson not beat Pavlick?

I would consider you stop consumming illegal contraband or better yet never post on any boxing related post unless you have something intelligible to say regarding this subject matter at hand.

Thank you

[2strong2cool]

I know boxing. Am a boxer myself so i know my stuff. Robinson was good, but Pav is too big and too much. He'd land the right and it would be goodnight Sugar Ray

[ilovefrankandbeans]

pavlik lost to a 44 yr old hopkins, what makes you think pavlik could stand toe to toe with sugar ray dumbass

[pacagarmenti]

IF he landed (I dought it)

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

hahahaha. i agree

[sparwood8]

Robinson: The ghost with a hammer in his hand. Oops, that was Henry Armstrong, but maybe Sugar loaned it to him. Skinny guy with scary power. Best timing EVER i the history of boxing. and timing is everything. Robby had it

[essexboy240]

Jimmy Wilde was the ghost with a hammer in his hand as far as I know Armstrong was nicknamed Homicide Hank.

[sparwood8]

I thinnk yuou are partly right... if memory is right, Armstrong was the ghost. However, that could definitely be applied to Sugar Ray

[steevyp]

right bodyshoy POW... back up... right body shot POW... back up... fain right bodyshot... LEFT HOOK...POW... KO!!!

[dquelwest]

nightmares after the 2 body shots WOW PURE GREATNESS

[909kong]

I just found out this punch is referred to as a "check hook"; it checks the momentum of a forward-moving boxer.

[jumpnam]

Same shot Mayweather used to KO Hatton.

[newsense87]

Yep.

[KarasuNoGoh]

Best Left Hook EVER.

[skaha77]

@KarasuNoGoh PERFECT Left Hook.. thrown by a PERFECT puncher, and perfect boxer... SUGAR RAY.. greatest of all time!!!

[DianSharp]

pedazo de gancho

[Ertz7917]

Wicked Left hook

[sofwhite]

[mrBandG]
