Wlad 244.7 lbs, JMM 216.05 lbs

That comes with the territory.

Wlad has come a long way from The Boardwalk in 2005.

If 50,000 people buying tickets is a statistic that make you a might wriggly, then I am sorry for you.

 

People can spend their money on anything they want. If I was in the area I would have gone too.

 

It's not something I approve of, for me fightbeat is fightbeat, it's like a fun little playground as a break from real life.

 

Same. The day I get so rattled that I find myself on google, furiously looking for material, is the day I stop posting.

 

Others treat it as an extension of their imaginary work place, lashing out and banning folk, like an office bully. Pathetic.

 

Well sure, but for whatever the reason, you do, um "change" somewhat when Vitali or wald pussy fights right? ::

I've never been a fan or either brother, but I do agree they both get a fairly unwarranted amount of hate.

 

And that's all I am saying. ::

"Boxing is dying" 50,000 people at the Esprit arena last night. Explanation? "White Supremacy". "Germany, dude". :shit:

Most people, claiming a profound love of boxing, didn't even bother to check up on Afolabi- an emerging threat let me tell you.

It redolent of when James Smalls, an inveterate thug of a man, though infinitely brave and tough, told a black South African team-mate to "go and play your own game, this is ours"

Thats the mentality when it comes to the Klitschkos. "You were supposed to be finished. Leave us to our thing"

 

::

This is what its come down to.

Joseph Cooper should ref every Wlad fight. Urgh.

 

In all seriousness the amount of clinching Wlad did last night was disgusting.

 

When a short guy rushes at you head down and pushes against you, there is not much a tall guy can do. Step back I guess, to give the short guy a free shot? Allowing clinching gives an unfair advantage to tall guys, disallowing it gives an unfair advantage to short guys.

 

And you dont blame Mormeck for this at all?

 

No, he needs to time him with a single uppercut that lays him out, like Walcott did with Marciano, or like Lewis did with Akinwande.

But try anything once. Throw out the old line, any old fib, any old bait, see who bites, see who picks it up and regurgitates it as if it were pure wisdom.

That's why Lampley telling Lederman to shut his kraut face will always be one of my favourite moments of HBO commentary.

 

Really? What's he going to deduct points for? Pushing? Mormeck walked in and did not let his hands go. He just walked in. I think Wlad pushed him once, with a single closed left hand.

Whats Wlad supposed to do? Break a hand on a big old dome? For my entertainment? To even things up?? :dunno:

He destroyed the guy with clean punching and in under 4 rounds. There are only so many times you can hold in under 4 rounds. Mormeck got nailed with sick left and then hung on, resulting in the unsightly grappling of both men on the floor.

I see where you are coming from, don't get me wrong, but you sound like Jim Watt ::

 

I haven't seen the plum clinch in boxing since,...................

...ding ding ding ding ding ding ding! ..I think we have a pioneer! :TLC:

 

WALD PUSSY is the John Ruiz of Europe. He is less Greasy than that smelly homo though.

 

How about fighting inside with short punches or moving as per the rules of the sport?

 

Vitali doesn't hold because he uses his feet. Wald should have been disqualified last night.

 

But wald pussy has the best feet in boxing.

 

The fact Ruiz was cheating to overcome such a talent deficit almost makes it more forgivable. Wlad clinching for his life against a cruiserweight little more than loitering in the ring 'til such time as he could collect his paycheque is on a whole new level of suck.

 

But Germans!!

 

I agree with your analysis. Wald is more of a disgrace than Ruiz.

 

Uhhh..........first off, you fight your own fight, and second, the guy is constantly moving, he fought Chagaev and Haye with constant closing of the distance via arcing sweeps, constantly closing down and moving into range. When Haye lunged in, Wlad stepped back, and...yes, you've guessed it, was criticized for it, left and right. :dunno:

 

Not an argument, Cappin' Bligh, not an argument. You'll have to try better.

 

Perhaps I can find something on google. Creep.

 

Oh, I see, now we are back at the "Zimbabwean Born" state of affairs.

It gives me no pleasure at all to contradict you of all people but you are in Horseshit territory now.

Manny Steward is the guy you need to take your beef up with, and, in any case, the fight was over by the 4th round, in which time Mormeck had been dropped twice and shaken up a few more times.

The Ruiz comparisons are thick. Ruiz would keep that shit up for 12 rounds and go fishing for a decision on the cards.

None of what you are saying even pretends to acknowledge the fact that Mormeck was walking in like an acorn, looking to clinch. If Lennox Lewis took a trip to the mat and needed a DQ vs Akinwande, then I fail to see why Wlad should ship water over getting the guy out of there with a very clear stoppage.

 

Excessive holding is against the rules, stepping back from a punch isn't - the criticisms aren't equivalent.

 

:: Cappin Bligh, lay another man low on this forum and I will keel-haul you like the bilges-bully you are. :nono: Don't ever put you precious breadfruit over another mans health in my presence. Now get busy. My internet piffle for yours. We will soon see whats what.

 

Just close your eyes and imagine the look of disgust he has on his face as he furiously types in defense of his man.

 

Interesting points.
