On paper, Gamboa would be the favorite based on pure talent. In reality, it's tough to envision him employing the type of ring discipline required...
any notable fighter would be an improvement on Gary Sykes, who somehow is the current frontrunner to land the fight.
I can't lie, this was my exact thought when reading that post. I understand what Buddy was getting at and he came correct later in the thread....
You used to be given up to two hours. Nevada trimmed it down to an hour. If I'm not mistaken, whether or not a fighter HAS to come back is at the...
Well, Carter caught him early. Fernandez was a dig-in type fighter and not the quickest starter. As for Benn - he was closer to a disciplined...
I think he meant after missing weight the first time. He came back two pounds heavier.
Whoa, slam the brakes! Fernandez could punch and wasn't scared to jump in there with the best. But with all due respect, he was nowhere near...
I'd probably take Jackson to win this. Of the four, he punched the cleanest and quickest. None of the four take a punch particularly well. In each...
Tyson-Spinks was the first fight my friends and I truly planned a night around. Of course it had everything to do w/ the hype and Tyson being...
Every promoter "likes" to make mismatches. It seems like good fights are made only when networks force a promoter's hand.
I stop short of assigning 100% blame on Gamboa only because promoters have pulled this before, particularly Top Rank. There seems to be language...
I'd pick Rios over Maidana in a P4P bout. But I'm not yet convinced his style produces the same results as he climbs the scales.
Exactly what I was going to say. Donaire settled for the fight that was in front of him, rather than he or Garcia making adjustments mid-fight -...
I don't so much attribute it to Garcia - he comes from a boxing-rich family and I don't at all doubt his/their knowledge of the game. Donaire just...
Fair enough on Rios, let's call him a puncher instead of a brawler. I guess my point is that I haven't seen much evolution in his career.
Maidana is officially with Rios. It's somehow supposed to make him a better fighter, but I think the industry is beginning to overrate what Garcia...
Was an OK fight but Yamanaka lacked killer instinct. Had Vic hurt on several occasions late in the fight but instead chose to coast. Vic's at a...
the rematch didn't happen because Floyd wasn't happy with the financial package Oscar was offering. He felt that he established himself as a...
Ike, the point you continue to miss is that Schorle's mishandling of the events is what led to mass confusion. Had he instructed Kirkland to...
Show me in the WBC rules where it states: - The referee can begin a count without picking it up from the time keeper - The referee can begin a...
World level? Sergio Thompson was an intended tune-up who boasted no notable wins (not even sure his losses came against anyone worth a damn)....
I agree with both posts. Cotto-Margarito was a series that was perfect for two episodes and for that reason stood out from most others. For...
In two weeks, Trinidad KO's one-armed (or one-shoulder) Kirkland. If Dunkin wasn't lying (though a tough habit for him to break) about how...
Yup, was about to say that the story is believable if the convo took place around '91/'92. To paraphrase Morgan Freeman/Million Dollar Baby, Roy...
Clip looked pretty boring, TBH. Plus it's the end of the episode. Not sure how much better the rest is, but not a segment I'm dying to see (or the...
there's nothing specific mentioned in the ABC rules. It just says a fighter cannot be saved by the bell in any round. What that's supposed to...
The argument presented as to why Schorle didn't deduct points is that clinching on its own isn't a foul, but excessive clinching is - at least as...
Texas Commission's rule 61.41(K)(6): When a round ends before a contestant who was knocked down rises, the bell shall not ring, and the count...
It's already been answered.
See Neil's post about the whole incompetence deal.
