Mathysse is garbage, man he may be world class by the standards we have right now, but he wouldn't even beat Ray Olivera if you put him in time machine and sent him to 1999 Judah barely survived against that guy Judah is about as close to "prime" right now as Ken Norton was when he fought Gerry Cooney
I saw the fight but no post commentary or anything else. Not exactly surprising Judah's front running ass quit and tried to milk it. Judah should fight Cintron next. We'll see who can be more creative with their cowardice when things don't go their way.
i'll take bradley if you want to bet. bradley knows he is in line for a pacquiao payday ahead of khan.
judah quit because he was completely outclassed. did those 4 plus rounds lead you to believe otherwise? were you anticipating him coming back and winning the fight? at that point in the bout i was far from disappointed. seemed like status quo
you simply picked a guy who, style wise, would match up decently with mathysse. sucra oliveira would lose against a guy mathysse shouldve beat, in alexander.
TRP has consistently said that in 2011 he has been more entertained by boxing than MMA. How is it trolling pointing out an obvious quit job? Instead of being so damn defensive you should be disgusted with Judah and not TRP.
why be disgusted by judah. the guy was simply outclassed and only got this bout because bradley is waiting on a payday and judah is a beatable guy with a solid name. i was shocked how many folks were giving him a chance.
You can be disgusted because he basically quit right there on the floor. And then tried to lie about it. Talking some bullshit about how a ref usually gives you an 8 count when you get hit low and that is why he thought he was counting. Fuck is that bullshit?
ill be honest i didnt listen to that assholes interview. bottom line is anyone expecting more out of him was fooling themselves. the guy was completely outclassed and only had a marginal punchers chance early in the bout. as a guy disappointed by judah you should be more upset by him not taking many chances early on with big shots, more so than how he found an out at the end.
that's how I see it. I'm not dissapointed at all that Judah quit, far better than seeing try to survive for another couple of rounds. But it was very dissapointed that at no point in the fight, he ever tried to make a stand.
I wish judah attempted to land his left hook more, but he could never find a way to due to khan's speed causing him so much trouble and movement.
Yet again another fight where you are waiting for Judah to throw punches. Judah has great talent, probably the most frustrating fighter of my lifetime. If only it was possible to put Katsidis' or Wolaks brain into his body.
a guy who was a fringe contender at best against a guy now considered "world-class" 1999 "Cool" Vince Phillips would beat him as well
I'm not being defensive, I'm pointing out the double standard. His first post was a troll post. Did he explicitly mention MMA? No, but neither does rjj mention boxing in most of his troll posts. "Another shitty UFC card" does the job just fine, and what Trp did is no different. Like Steve just said, no proper boxing fan would have been expecting a good fight or a Judah win.
And therein lies a testament to how low our expectations as boxing fans has dipped. As a fan and follower of boxing since before you were alive, I always have the silly expectation of a fight to ensue when two belt holders step in the ring. And by fight, I don't mean a blood and guts, give and take, Gatti-Ward affair. But I do expect both guys to relish their belts and fight to keep them. I expect a professional boxer not to let himself be counted out and his belt taken by a borderline low blow. I expect boxers, who we have all proclaimed as super athletes, NOT to quit after the slightest punishment is taken. Yep, by expecting this, apparently I don't follow boxing. But I must have at one time to develop such a silly notion. Yes, I'm sure at one point this would have been considered a reasonable expectation.
You're an absolute idiot. My first post was 100% out of disappointment in watching a title holder quit after only very slight punishment. Trolling my ass. And as I said in my first post, another great night for boxing. Tough shit if your sensitive ass doesn't like it.
Plus, saying that real boxing fans didn't expect it to be close is revisionnism. Just look at the prediction, pretty much everyone expected a close fight.
I've openly admitted that the wins over Matthysse and Mabuza fooled me a little bit. I expected more. And I don't think I was completely alone.
It's just like RJ. "Another shitty UFC card". If you'd have just said "That was disappointing, what a shit fight" it would have been completely different. I expect better from you Trpl, and not the double standards.
