The college boy thing is just a funny insult. Like I said I went to college myself and enjoyed it, but 75 percent of the kiddies there are this:



I've got no problems with people letting out their emotions and crying either, but for crying out loud (pun, lolz) I don't need to see it after EVERY freackin' post fight interview you give Barry. Give it a rest mate.

To those ripping GR,

Barry has cried after EVERY fight he's won. It's absurd, annoying, and uncomfortable. I can get why it happens every once in a while, but ALL the time?

Some people are just more emotional than others. Pat is a cool dude, inconsistent fighter, probably fighting in an inadequate weight division, but a cool dude. He cries a lot, but I really think it's genuine feelings, although kind strange coming from a fighter. Maybe this the proof a heart can be soft inside a hard shell...

*Sigh* Much ado about nothing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_(boxing)

Hook punches can be thrown by either the lead hand or the rear hand, but the term used without a qualifier usually refers to a lead hook.

Right Hook (Orthodox Boxer)
The right hook also produces power capable of stunning an opponent. This punch must be thrown at close range and depends heavily on timing. It is important to note that the right hook relies on torso and hip rotation, not on a wild swing of the arm.

BARRY was not in the position to throw a right cross at close proximity so it looked like a jumping right hook to finish off Rosario.

If that's not a hook then I guess everybody else is wrong.

Round 2
Del Rosario comes forward swinging an uppercut. Barry stuns del Rosario with a huge overland left, smells blood and blitzes. A right hook lands on the temple and another right on the jaw puts del Rosario down for the count, slumped against the fence.

(Listen to Joe Rogan describing it as a hook as well.)

He wings a right hook from the orthodox stance to the temple and another right hook with his back foot leaping forward for extra torque to finish.

Any more debates.

...I really would like to see Barry start whoopin' some tail kickboxing style. Shane is a tough dude with a good chin and is gonna bring it. Pat's gotta stay with his bread & butter. Measure Shane. Use precise, hard legicks setting up combos breaking Shane down. If Barry keeps it on the outside he will chop Del Rosario to bits. If Shane gets in close a lot and clinches, he can easily put Pat on his back. Pat must throughout the fight- control the distance or Barry could have a Lavar Johnson flashback...

I know I have seen her officiate several fights now. I don't see that she is all that bad. She seems to do ok. I can't recall her doing anything Mazzagatti-esk. It does seem a bit dangerous if she has to jump in the middle of a couple of heavyweights like that. She doesn't seem to show any timidness about it, though.
