Thread: LIGHTWEIGHT TOURNAMENT ROUND 2- Hector Camacho vs Pernell Whitaker

You see that Fleaman? You see Hector engaging Ramirez on the inside? Hector dont have to but still you think Hector's going to let Pernell hit him with body shots. That's not even Pernell's style of fighting but even if it was it wouldnt do him any good. Here in this fight you can see Hector's not even fighting at half speed, he's just cruising throughout the entire fight. Pernell was lucky not to be around during this...

Don't be suprised at this being a S/D...

Where's Rooster? I believe he had a claim of how Camacho would win this match-up.

I think Whitaker can definitely offset Camacho's good work, though a bit of in and out movement together with the fast hands would clearly win The Macho Man some points. I see Whitaker's points being earned in a similar fashion to how he got those against De La Hoya, exposing some 'more flash than substance' type work on his opponent's behalf. Proabably would look even more convincing though here with Whitaker's...

That would be his major advantage in this fight and he'd know it. That's exactly my point. I am sure he would fight the same way he fought against Oscar in the second half of their fight which was chasing the opponent, jabbing, moving, working...

Hectors speed would cause Whitaker problems early on and he would have been 1 of the few to actual land cleanly on Whitaker. Whitaker would use his jab to 'be first' and time his left hand. After 6rounds I see this as level, but after that Hector will slow and Whitakers timing, superior defense, body attack take over the fight and he dominates the last 8 putting Hector on his bike, Camacho probably wins another couple of rounds on...
