Proksa was better than Rubio, though admittedly he was stylistically suitable for GGG (and Polish and thus deemed to lose)
<tbody> Tomorrow 01:00 Nonito Donaire v Guillermo Rigondeaux 8/15 20/1 13/8 </tbody> So according to Ladbrokes it is 65 % - 38 % in favor...
Yes, that is what AIBA ruled, Here it is: headgears are gone too. Knockdowns are not mentioned in the rules though, so I assume they won't score...
I'll make a different pick in this thread and then brag with the one that is closer to the mark. So Riggo by decision, 116-112, 116-113 and 117-111
"The art of inflicting punishment and scoring points in close almost had died out of boxing, and that is doubly bad." This was written by Nat...
Fantastic fight. Most of Cuban amateur stars have fought in a way which isn't suited for pros, they use distance and movement as their only...
Agreed. Macklin is aggressive and pretty easy to hit. Sounds like a disaster against GGG
Hughie did well in his debut. Of course the opponent was scrub, but his coordination and balance looked good for 18-year-old, 6'7 guy. These tall...
I assume you haven't heard Arnold Schwarzenegger telling how he saw Wilt do tricep extensions with 170 lbs while other strong guys in the gym...
Don't forget that Chamberlain would have trained with d'Amato so he would have had great head movement and bob-and-view style
http://youtu.be/fuX7FlddCRg As most probably know, these two were supposed to fight in '67 but then Herbert Muhammad ducked the bout. In '71 Wilt...
Also, Macklin already beat a better version of Golovkin in Amin Asikainen
Agreed. Stay busy fights for Helenius and Groves and collect-cash-from-stupid-Germans-pointless-rematch for Abraham
Apart from Haye's right hand Povetkin isn't slower than him. It is just that Povetkin can't slip any punch that comes to his general direction
True. His dead daddy can't be proud
Hairyfairyhumpers: Ruiz, Duran
Hangers: Gatti, Valero
I think what makes these fights interesting is that the slower starter knows that he has only three rounds to make a difference and thus would...
So, pick the winner of these match-ups is they are fought under amateur rules (three rounds, soft gloves, KD doesn't give extra points) (and yes,...
Povetkin was good when he was up and coming. Now he can't slip a counter punch at all. I don't know what happened to him but seriously, Huck...
like totally
Use distance, avoid getting hit at all costs, never lead, land a booming right hand, never throw to body. Haye moves more whereas Wlad bases...
As long as the other guy makes the fight and leads, then I agree Haye becomes very exciting. His bouts against Chisora and Ruiz were cool and I'd...
As a fighter Haye is pretty much of a copy of the current champion, without the jab and bit less clinching. Haye, like Wlad, waits for his...
The whole point is that both have done much better than they theoretically should have. In 60s experts thought that Ali would lose as soon as he...
If I had to bet on this, I'd go with Marquez since he is the (super)naturally bigger guy and more proven whereas Broner isn't even a lt. welter...
I think speed in p4p sense is the difference. "p4p" super featherweight Floyd was a big puncher, he knocked out tough opponents there. As he went...
Come on, this is no personal matter. Klitshkos have NOTHING to do with this. I guess you missed it when I just said that Jones probably was...
It is not that at all. Just that Floyd's record is clearly better, there has been more competition around his weight class and Floyd has fought...
Maybe. It must be noted however that even these modern guys SHOULD beat Hopkins fairly easily. He hardly throws any punches anymore, he spoils...
