Hope we get the rematch of Whitaker vs Mcgirt in this quality.
What sets Sweet Pea apart from most fighters of his era, in addition to his talent of course, was his willingness to fight the very best. His resume is a who's who of 80s and 90s legends and the only fights he truly lost were to Trinidad and his last fight due to an injury.
I would have loved to have benton as my trainer; a true gem in the sport.
Now we need Whitaker vs Mcgirt II in this quality.
Mc Grit was a great fighter, but the announcers were dick riding him. Many of those punches were being blocked by Whitaker.
Pernell was one of the best fighter in his time pound for pound

RIP Sweet pea Pernell Whitaker. Excellent great Boxer my favorite
Pernell Whitaker is one of the ATGs and arguably the best defensive boxer ever. Some people may not know but Buddy McGirt was ranked a P4P boxer during the early 90s. I wonder what the outcome of this bout would be if McGirt didn't have a rotator cuff injury though considering that he won a few rounds and made it competitive until the final rounds.

They did have a rematch but the rematch in 94 wasn’t close as Whitaker beat him up inside.

Buddy would be a hard night for anyone at 140-147. A real class pro.
Wow, I actually met him in 89, I lived in HAMPTON VA from 87 to 90, played in several Basketball Tournaments in NORFOLK VA, alot of guys knew him on the team, I was the new guy, plus I won several Championships, Just SAYING
This is for the purist!
116- 113 Whitaker. Round 3-5 and the last two rounds saw Buddy McGirt land some good punches. But in my opinion, Sweet Pea was the aggressor landing the better punches - and more of them - throughout the rest of the fight. Great match. McGirt Whitaker ROUND 1 9 10 ROUND 2 9 10 ROUND 3 10 10 ROUND 4 10 9 ROUND 5 10 9 ROUND 6 9 10 ROUND 7 9 10 ROUND 8 9 10 ROUND 9 9 10 ROUND 10 9 10 ROUND 11 10 9 ROUND 12 10 9

Мак Гирт боксировал со сломанной левой рукой, он очень классный боксер, не Уитакера

Whitaker worked his body on the inside, so that have enough energy to avoid his punches in the later rounds.
Buddy head is pretty large for his weight but if you see him now his head fits his body
I was there!
Разнообразней, хитрее, увереннее, точнее Уитакер! Левша, от Бога! Чавес, не мог побить его, нормально попасть, ударить плотно! А вот от машины, Пернел, увернуться не смог! Царствие Небесное! Чемпион!
I forgot the late great Pernell Whitaker fought Buddy McGirt! RIP Sweet Pea.

Слава Богу! Здравствуйте! Интересная партия, в шашки! Уитакер, чуть хитрее, точнее! Царствие Небесное! Ему! Бадди, тоже хорош, но он больше отбивается! Пернел стараиться, ищет! Спасибо!

the man had some moves on him
I would have called it a draw. Whitaker's defensive skills were outstanding but his punches had no power.
He kinda look like Damian Lillard
The same McDirt who years later in 2019 as a trainer failed to stop the fight and his fighter died in the ring, after taking a beating ? Disgusting

The difference between Pernell and Floyd was that Cherry Picking was never in Pernell's vocabulary and neither was catchweight.
