EXCELLENT Shit...REED Can't Quite Put his Finger On it, but this Shit BLOWS HBO's 24/7's AWAY...Not as Much Narration & FEWER of those Blatantly CONTRIVED Scenes... Good Shit! REED:hammert:
This is the exact reason why I love boxing. I got nothing but mad love for them dudes. That shit got me so fucking hyped it ain't even funny. Question why did that dude tell Dirrells corner man to keep it down at the fight? Love the behind the scenes. This shit was hot. Can't wait for the next stage. I'll Holla 5000
I must admit, watching Fightcamp.... its kinda hard for me to dislike Carl Froch. Yeah he's a cocky dude, but he also seems like a genuine and laid back character who has a true confidence in himself, even if he's not the most talented guy, and that alone I admire. He really doesnt believe he can lose, and that alone might it for him vs the damaged Kessler. But still.... my head tells me Kessler will win. On the other hand, as much as I tried to like Dirrell.... he comes across like a whiney bitch at times. Kessler is a legitmately nice guy, and although he's talented and I'm still a fan.... perhaps his mentality just isnt that of a true warrior. AA comes across to me as a classic party animal/womanizer.
That's how I see it, he can't be accused of ducking anyone, he really does believe he's as good as he thinks he is and is prepared to prove it. He's a bad knockout/beating waiting to happen, but he's a genuine guy.
I'd give him virtually NO chance with the undefeated Kessler. But after 2 losses, theres a chance he's catching Mikkel at the exact right time. On the other hand, if Kess can regain his old form.... his accuracy is gonna be problematic for Carl. Its a helluva interesting fight! And thier styles should produce action.
24/7 is like a bad reality show. 90% of it seems forced, and scripted. Fightcamp is FAR more authentic, more in depth, and as REED pointed out.... no gay ass narration. 360 absolutely SHITS on 24/7!
I didn't get that from the video. To be honest all the fighters though different they all seemed like good dudes. I'll Holla 5000
I agree. They all ARE good dudes, it seems anyway. Dirrell just seems a bit whiney. He complained over the decision, when really he only has himself to blame. Had he not fought so negative, he coulda won going away or even stopped Froch. He was too fast for Carl, but he made it a close fight by not doing enough. I still had him winning the fight, but he coulda won WITHOUT A DOUBT. Hopefully he can redeem himself vs AA. But yeah.... all 6 of them seem like good cats.
I was a big fan of Dirrell way back to when I saw him pummel a guy when he was probably 17 years old. (it might be that 125 lb us am championship fight in 2001). I even sent copies of the fight out to a few internet friends because you could see Dirrell's talent was top notch. Anyway, I can't say I like that thug-tough guy bullshit he tried to pull on Froch back in an earlier episode. Froch's confidence is far easier to take. And it makes it far harder to have any sympathy for Dirrell in that fight.
Yeah, that was WEIRD...Dirrell's Brother SHOULD have Told that Dude to Go FUCK Himself... REED:hammert:
Similar situation with Ulli Wegner, telling Alex Abraham to shut his hole and let him {Wegner} get on with the job of instructing his fighter. It must be the hardest job in boxing, to train a fighter, with so many hanger ons.:bangh:
Do yourself a favour white-boy,..and save yourself some traumatic injury by listening to the following,... .....if you are going to re-watch Jantuah - Arabham,... DO NOT,.. under any circumstances,.. watch Pirog - Jantuah directly afterwards,..
...if you are going to re-watch Ali vs Norton, Do NOT,..under any circumstances,.. watch Foreman- Norton directly afterwards,..
Thus far,.. Pirog has not even lost a round in his career,.. it is said,.. that Arabham gave away 7 rounds to Jantuah in a title defense,.......oh dear,..... if there are more mutual opponents on Pirog's record,.. for some reason,.. I can guarantee,.. Pirog did the far superior job. I hope to god,..Pirog doesn't move up to supermiddleweight,..because for your sake, sincerely,.. I want him to leave Arabham alone,..it's Irishman turf up there until he loses to Dirrell for not coming out of his shell enough,..a happy co-existance is cool by me,.. I'm not greedy,..I hope Pirog isn't either.
I loved 24/7 at first, partly just the novelty of it. But it did get boring, and is style over substance. As much as I dislike most Showtime broadcasts, this is probably better than 24/7. Just more real, less bullshit and contrived, scripted nonsense. I agree Dirrell seems like a whiney bitch. After fighting like the biggest bitch since Junior "The Shitter" Witter, he has the nerve to bitch about fighting overseas after he rightfully didn't get the decision? He's a tool. And seriously, I'm amazed that there's a good handful of people picking him over AA. Although as you all know, I'm not Arabham fan, and I think he is overrated, he has at least proved his metal, he's a tough fighter, and not a bitch. The AA - Dirrell fight is a bit like Chico - Freitas on a lesser scale. I knew Freitas had no chance, because Chico was just the tougher, more determined, more ballsy fighter, and Freitas evidently, was a bitch. Although Dirrell could conceivably win quite a few rounds with ease against Arabham's 5 punch a round output, I think Dirrell is too much bitch to keep it up for the whole fight, he'll fall apart and get KO'd.
Yep, that's why Im pickin' Dirrell,.. they're both bitch-fighters in my opinion,.. one is a sprinter,.. the other hides in a cacoon, wings a few that hits his opponents gloves usually,.. and then sprints the last 30 seconds out on Germain soil ofcourse.
http://sports.sho.com/browse/video-portal.html?id=68221330001 Even the trailer for this are better than a whole 24/7 episode. Looks like the focus of Episode four will be on Dirrell watching and analyzing Abraham/Taylor, the promoters discussing the replacement and Jermains decision to withdraw.
Finally got to see this episode. Was there any commentary? I thought there was on the earlier 2 shows? Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot. Not really fair to compare it to 24/7 because, for this episode at least, we all know what is going to happen. This isn't hyping up what is going to happen, it is documenting what did happen. Because what did happen was interesting, this episode worked very well.
