I think Joe has too much hand and foot speed (admittedly Kessler has plenty of the latter also) and scores too often with those eye-catching...
For me, fitness was a key element tonight: I had Mikkel up after 6 (and looking very dangerous) until Joe seemingly found extra gears in terms of...
That'll be a 'yes' to my question, then... :lol: I suppose the Chris Eubank fight might have been a 'big' fight. Byron Mitchell? Charles...
:clap: Agreed- really, how many fighters use the extra time to pile bucketloads of weight on before fight time?
As I said, he's miles under. And it isn't like Joe... For the sake of the money I have invested (courtesy of Mr William Hill) in this fight, I...
I still grin at all this 'slappy' stuff: I'm sure Joe's KO% is very similar to Mikkel's, yet Joe 'slaps' and Mikkel is gonna 'make Slappy drool on...
For all the detractors, and for all of the criticism he has (at times rightly) taken for fighting some contemptible bums over the years, no-one...
He's MILES under the limit, really... And you can't even presume it's deliberate/part of some plan to 'outspeed' Mikkel on the night if he...
AgREED :clap:
Probably not in a fit state to name ten right now [a little puggled], but Monzon would certainly be among my eventual picks...
[/B] This is a very silly comment indeed...:nono: BTW: ILLU- you planning on doing a round by round on Saturday?
Accepted (generally), but then after this it wans't terrible at all, really- the Benn-Eubank fights were big fights between very good (arguably...
My gut instinct here would be to say 'novelty value', but I am by no means expert on MMA/UFC and would not honestly feel capable of arguing this...
This is true enough, but surely the argument is cyclical- how can a boxer become a superstar if not enough people are seeing him (on terrestrial...
Hmmm... I agree that Kelly would be one of, if not the toughest assignment (maybe with G-Man) of Jackson's career. I also agree that his...
:lol: The sun soaked, Christ preaching, peace-loving, forgiveness-seeking Benn of today throws 'em better... :doh:
Absolutely! :bears: Somewhere else in this thread, someone talks about how poor a relation boxing was on US TV Networks in the early 1990's....
[/B] Agreed- the shot which took Herol Graham out will still be on 'Classic Knockout DVD's' (or whatever they have then!) 50 years from now....
As much as I dislike myself for it, I love this fight. Were it not for the ending, this fight would be shown over and over again as an example of...
I agree with your first paragraph, save that Pavlik against the uberslick Herol Graham wouldn't have been as one-sided as you otherwise suggest...
I think that's pretty harsh- it's worth remembering that the division is a young one, and moreover is one that is treated by most US fighters as...
Couldn't agree more... :bears:
IMO, prime Tyson would have had only one real hope of winning this fight, and that would be by landing the sort of bomb that Rachman and McCall...
Kelly gets stretched and in reasonably short order too... Jackson KO4
Nice article Joony :clap: Commenting briefly on the points raised thus far: I would agree that Nunn is somewhat contentious: his 'legacy'...
Joe Calzaghe has responded angrily to taunts from the WBA and WBC world super-middleweight champion, Mikkel Kessler, ahead of their world title...
Joe/Mikkel- Smack talk continues... Welsh wizard Joe Calzaghe is relishing the chance to capture two more belts when he faces unbeaten Mikkel...
Hatton probably doesn't win, but fuck me if he isn't getting a load of bollix from you guys prior to this fight... I actually think he is PBF's...
Lewis - Holyfield II: Certainly no classic, but 'better' than the first in that there was some conjecture as to the result. Also, the Lewis...
