Yup. 1st thing I thought. Winging em inHe won a medal at the Pan-Ams in boxing, some other medals in other events, as well.
I find it all hilarious, bc in that clip he's just in there winging bombs like Wanderlei Silva lmao
Fun fact. If the Olympic qualification system established for the last ("2020" Tokyo Olympics) were in use back in 2008, Rogerio would've qualified, as four slots for the first four places previous Pan American Boxing games and Rogerio made bronze in the 2007 PanAms.He never had 'Olympic level' boxing. He trained with boxers who were in the Olympics sure but his striking wasn't ever THAT great.
I have zero memory of this happening. Looked it up, sure enough-this is a real thing that happened.We live in a universe that tito ortiz boxed Anderson silva. Be happy for that one
Tito really was fallin apart around this time.
LOLYou can see it around 1:37
Lil Nog and Tito were both at the top of the game - true savage fighters.
Tito looked kind of solidish for the first 1:10 seconds? But then gets rocked and his glass body exposed.
Lil Nog doesn't get enough mentions. He was very solid. Doesn't he have near Olympic level boxing? That's what some poster said once in here.
Nog tried 0 submission attempts on Davis or Bader, who also landed many more strikes than Nog did. A 40-8 differential in the Davis fight.
Not to mention the TDs completed.
Thats not "US judging"
