Great fight. I'm not sure who to pick. I think Jirov is under-rated as a cruiser-weight. And that applies to his skills too. Plus I think his...
I think he's going to be on HBO BAD in the coming months.
Berto is promoted by DiBella. Therefore, he is protected, untested, and likely not very good.
Yes. Ward led with his head all night and held and hit Kessler every chance he had.
I think PBF must recognize the benefits of relaxing in the ring; I sense a deliberate effort on his part to be relaxed. His match-up with Judah is...
Yes. The guy hits hard. Berto's a swarming hack though. It's difficult to say whether his grappling/bullying tactics can work against Hernandez.
This is exactly why I think it's for reasons aside from the fact they won't fight each other that they're bad for boxing. Although, I don't...
Bantamweight tourney is single elimination, and includes fighters who fight for a living.
I've always thought Dirrell looked half retarded - like he wasn't all there or has a learning disability. Or a super low I.Q.
Or, it might be time for everyone involved to admit that today's fighters and managers are too spoiled and too soft for an old-time concept like a...
No. But it's one of many LEGAL ways to win. And it indicates a fighter's confidence in his skills and his instincts.
Roy Jones? Are you serious? The guy's the most nervous, twitchy fighter I ever saw. Relaxed fighters let their hands go. And don't throw one punch...
Some of these guys did it better than others, but they all appeared relaxed in the ring with smooth and even movement Toney Eddie Muhammed...
Eddie's style reminds me of Napoles.
:lol::lol: Could be. They are friends, aren't they? The important thing here is that Dirrell not profit from his repeated pull-outs and be...
I'm afraid not. In fact, 100 of these wouldn't prove anything. The guy holds a lot. Anyone who disputes that or tries to minimize its significance...
I know. I'm being sarcastic. Point is yours - PBF's undefeated record doesn't mean shit.
yeah i should be ashamed for not figuring out on my own that Margarito and Trinidad both were loading their gloves.
Floyd's undefeated. Case closed.
Whoa. Busting out the concrete proof that Wlad doesn't hold a lot.
if the holding rule were enforced, Wlad would either be disqualified time and time again, or would lose fair and square. as it stands, he holds...
his infighting sucks.....and? does his chin also suck? and his defense too? and his stamina? if so, what we have here is a guy who can jab, punch...
ok. so without holding he couldn't win? and if so, why is that.
Why do "you" think he holds so much?
there's mikE. always defending the powers that be. i'm starting to think you're one of them. either you work for a sanctioning body, or a...
Wlad vs. Sultan was a horrible fight. Horrible. Wlad is boring - just admit it. And it's not like he's boring because he's so good, or so...
well said.
still, you can't lump Vitali in there with Wlad - Vitali gets the job done. he just doesn't hit as hard as Lewis. Wlad? he'll hold for 12 rounds...
so you're encouraging me to look beyond the tedious holding that constitutes the majority of Wlad's fights, and instead focus on the 2-3 big...
you keep bringing up the word, "style," but style has nothing to do with the conversation. And you think it's an exaggeration to say that Wlad...
