As a big Klitshko apologist I have to say that this was a horrible fight and Wlad deserves shitload of criticism, as does Pabon. Often people...
How is vilt pussy any kind of credible contender to anyone though?
He escaped with a close but just decision but yeah, because of that fight experts don't give Povetkin much chance and the promoters don't want to...
The second-biggest purse bid in heavyweight history (behind Holyfield vs Douglas). First time since Ali vs Spinks when to Olympic Gold medalists...
Joppy vs Duran was humiliating for Joppy since he had to share the ring with such a quitter
What did he say?
Oh, right. I was surprised to see Bryant that low, I guess he has declined clearly in the past two years or so? According to what we get to read...
I am going to follow NBA closely this year but I don't know enough to participate in this poll yet. Isn't Rajon Rondo seen as among the best in...
It was a large but regular 21 ft ring, and in the seventh round Leonard's back doesn't even touch the ropes
On a lower lever, a heavyweight slugfest between Jarno Rosberg and Manuel Pucheta. A fierce eight-rounder You can watch it here...
According to his autobiography Leonard was delighted to hear that the ring was 21 ft but he didn't make such demand. It could have been someone of...
Also, Davey Moore would have been Macho if he had quit against Duran, since Duran didn't fight by the rules (he fouled constantly). It would have...
You just said to me in the other thread that "moving of course is not illegal" :dunno:
All clinching of course isn't illegal, just continuous clinching. And I'll repeat again that I am not sure if refereeing has changed all that...
This is actually a very fair and balanced statement. I can totally see why some boxing fans don't like Wlad's style and that it frustrates people,...
What a fatso. Clear lack of discipline
Sorry for my wording. "In here" meant "here in Europe". It is obvious his holding tactics is the main subject about him on this board, which is...
:giggle: your passion towards Wlad is respectable I admit. All I am saying was that Irish's claim that Wlad is not known for boxing is not...
I was trying to add information and perspective that perhaps not everybody knows by telling how Wlad is viewed in European articles. not saying if...
His quote was: He still isn't even known as a holder since he teamed up with Manny, despite Howard "Murica" Ledermans best efforts. For a person...
Chavez cracks that chin eventually
Usually not, I live north from there, though I visit there quite often. And when I get to see Wlad, I am in heaven
His style is not the same as Vitali's not even close. His strategy is somewhat similar, though even there Vitali clearly pressures his opponents more
I don't disagree that he holds more than anyone these days. I am just pointing out that he is not known for that apart from boxing people, which...
Could be. Though I believe the real difference is that European media doesn't see clinching and other kinds of "scared fighting" being as bad as...
In European media it is never mentioned that Wlad holds much. It is always that "he fights passively" or "doesn't take any risks" or "protects...
There is nothing to be seen really. Don't waste three minutes of your precious life to that.
Very insightful
Agreed. Tyson's marketing value was so much bigger than either Floyd's or Manny's that Tyson vs Holyfield in '91 would have been a bigger event,...
Definitely, if they only fought against aging, overweight bouncers or such
