The relevant comparison isn't between amateur boxing and not doing amateur boxing, though. It's between how good a launch pad it is, as is, and...
Well, not really. His position is - 'the sports are now sufficiently different that the cross over between them is around 50% or less'. And...
If we could just clone Joseph Cooper and have him ref every fight I suspect everything might be OK.
It seems to me that, if it isn't dead in modern boxing, in-fighting is gulping for air and in pretty bad shape. I can think of 3 credible...
At least Haye took a few rounds; Tua didn't take a few seconds. Because he's awful.
Byrd, I think. Unless Haye manages to land something really big.
Haye sucks less.
Gotta prepare meals in advance in my experience. Just make a big mixing bowl of veg every morning/evening that you can add meat/eggs/fish to.
Tua sucks. Haye would hit him enough for Tua to back off and plod around doing not much. Haye would flounce around, clinch, land the odd big...
I think Haye would hold out. UD 12
I take it the protective equipment and scoring system is dictated by the Olympics rather than any supra national ABA commission?
Boxing without any violence :bears:
What size are these gloves they're using? Any idea? They look 12-14oz.
Having 2nd rate boxing at the Olympics devalues the Olympics & having young boxers train with a mind to fighting with these rules & equipment is...
Has anyone seen a knock down in the olympic boxing yet?
:lol:
What ethnicity is Reid? Half Irish half Turk or something?
Jones Ali Pac, Leonard, Mosley
Race is bullshit, anyway. There are regional archetypes and an infinite spectrum between them. There are no 'races'.
The Irish weren't considered properly 'white' either. 'White' =white-protestant.
Castillo was an excellent fighter. I wouldn't be surprised if he went 15, actually. He would just get ruined.
How good did Duran smell, Neil?
Duran TKO 12 after winning every round
No.
The Duran was right to walk away. I think more of him for it.
Are you cracking up BOSS or is this just elaborate trolling?
Leaving aside your condescending cuntishness again, every single card I've looked at (6 or 7 now), ends up closer to consensus opinion under...
I'm guessing it could convert a non-trivial percentage of bad wins to draws and bad draws to correct wins, but that'd be about it. I'd say the net...
I found the Oscar-Tito cards. Tito would still have won (6-5-1). Jerry Roth's card was laughable, he had Tito 3-1 up after 4, then gave the last...
The cause is outwith it's means to fix, but it might end with better outcomes on average. My intuition is it would (marginally)
