Greg Haugen vs Hector Camacho (6 of 6) WBO Jr. Welterweight Championship 1991

[MuttonAndTheHam]

that touching gloves thing at the end was awkward. neither even wanted to put up their gloves without the other doing it first. sometimes referees just gotta figure, hey hese guys aren't gonna touch gloves, let em fight. Pretty good nonetheless

[LedLawless]

Wow, everyone is so tough when they're on the internet. And Brock Lesnar is a sissy, if I got him in a ring, I'd sit on him.

[lillyspade]

so camach ran away from good fighters ater he went up in weight, big deal. sugar ray ran away from duran and haggler for years, and sugar is one of the best. camacho was one of the best around.

[mikedav9O]

I'm glad that cheating beaner lost

[mikedav9O]

fucking beaner!

[goten360]

Greg:"My training for the fight with Camacho has been the best of my career" lmfao You suck, my workouts at the gym will TOP your training for camacho hahaa Even LOCALS can mop you up! ahaha Your little man syndrome type persona makes me laugh. and also makes me just wanna knock you right in the chin.

[pearcemark2]

@goten360 Are you literally shit talking a boxer from 20 years ago on yout ube with your DBZ username, you fucking nerd?

[loy829]

Carlos Padilla made a bad rule that cost camacho the win.Greg Haugen is a mediocre fighter,a piece of shit really & in the ring with me, i would knock him out to kingdom come.

[cstrait]

this was the perfect way for camacho to lose his unbeaten record. he'd been a coward ever since rosario roughed him up.

[Megadeth72]

this was bullshit

I mean even with 1 point deducted, camacho scored a knockdown in 4th round... it should be split decision for camacho or draw at the very least.... but they gave victory to haugan instead

haugan was never as great as camacho, look how camacho dominated vinny paz

[1cwa]

@Megadeth72 that dont mean he was better just by that its 2 contrasting styles its the same way foreman kod fraizier easy even though fraizier beat ali once but ali beat foreman easy its like a circle just cus he beat paz ass worse dont mean hes better imidiately

[mcentepede]

Another classic screwjob.  Close fight only because it was Haugen hometown

[nathanwilefrazier]

GH doesn't have anything close to HC's handspeed. What he does have is a syncopated sense of timing - often pausing for an extra beat before he throws. He has an ability to throw the right when you'd expect him to throw a jab half the time also. It's awkward to fight someone like this.

[365degrees]

@nathanwilefrazier I agree it is difficult to fight a winner with brains.

[thetruegladiator]

fucken greg haugen taunting the legend!

[cstrait]

@thetruegladiator in whose eyes is camacho a legend? maybe a legend of being a running trash talker, who couldn't back it up. haugen punked the punk. camacho got what he deserved

[goten360]

@cstrait Camacho has amazing speed and incredible reach, Greg Haugen just has a big head so and the attitude of a person with little man syndrome, check out the rematch and watch him,  you'll see EXACTLY what im talking about.

[Mp25DIII]

7:24-that look says it all..."there goes the big money fight against Chavez"

[fep70]

The WBO stripped Haugen for failing a drug test, but the Nevada State Commision didn't overturn the verdict to a no-contest.

Had Nevada called it a no-contest, Haugen would have retrospectively been ruled never to have won the title.

[cstrait]

camacho also got frustrated since he couldn't out trash talk haugen. it ended up costing him big.

[cstrait]

this was the beginning of camacho's bitch-like decline into nothingness. some say it began after he got a gift against rosario,

[cstrait]

no, haugen stiill won the fight... the title was just declared vacant. because he tested positive for marijuana, which is not performance enhancing. and haugen was alwasy pretty good at breaking down boxer-types... only pernell whitaker was able to dominate him with speed and mvoement.

[cocacolaisgood]

and julio ceaser chavez did

[HAFA74]

@cstrait Tyson tested positve for marijuana after beating Golota... guess what? That fight is a NC!

[cstrait]

@HAFA74 yes, and don't get me started on how stupid the michigan commission is. they've screwed up worse thatn the tyson-golota fight recently.

[DWiens421]

The push immediately after the bell might be the coolest "dick move" I've ever seen.

[TolitoGangster]

Camacho lost this first fight but he really won,in the rematch Camacho regained his world title.After the first fight Haugen failed the post fight drug test and the title won was declared vacant,Haugen lost a decision to Camacho in the rematch and Camacho regained his world title,my point was Camacho never really lost this first fight and he won the rematch officially,he should have been considerd undefeated in 1991

[TolitoGangster]

Hector Macho Camacho won this fight by decision and regained his wbo 140 lbs world championship,he never lost the first fight either,it was a no contest,the title he fought for was vacant so why does he have a loss against haugen in the first match when haugen was guilty of using drugs in the post fight drug tests and the wbo declared the first fight a no contest?

[Doderhultarn89]

this is the first fight. haugen won by decision

[MURDOC5000000]

There was never a no contest declared. Haugen tested positive for weed and they made the title vacant and ordered a rematch. His win still stands and he is still recognized as a former WBO champion. Camacho DID lose.

[TolitoGangster]

if he wins still stands why did they vacate the title? why want haugen allowed to remain champion,if it's allright to smoke weed while you train for boxing then why did they strip him of his title,if they striped him of the title then he violted the drug policy and the win should have been a dq loss or a no contest

[MURDOC5000000]

Well I don't know about what "should have happend"-we could do that all day-but Haugen's win still stands and he is still recognized as a former WBO champion. Look it up for yourself if you don't believe me. Unfair shit happens all the time in boxing bro, it's just part of it.

[DWiens421]

That's odd... I know some organization didn't recognize the loss, hence him being announced as 41-0 before the Chavez fight, and I could have sworn it was the WBO... Maybe the WBC?

[nodicenate]

I had it 114-113 Camacho, but looking at my notes on each round, I could easily justify a reversal of that score in favor of Haugen as the deciding judge had. Haugen was largely ineffective throughout long portions of this fight, yet he was still able to win rounds based upon the fact that he obviously wanted to fight, whereas Camacho proved that his "Macho" alias is quite the misnomer. Camacho looked pretty slick 2-4. Haugen's best round was 5. Camacho gave away 10-12.

[Megadeth72]

yes like you have a perfect life

[yoanno89]

Me I don't like the man but I love the boxer, it's like Carlos Monzon who had kiled his wife, a great boxer, but "what a loser".

[TheChromeStallion]

Not too long ago Camacho was arrested for stealing stuff from a best buy store and went to jail. What a loser. I never liked him.
