True. Stand up on a step stool with somebody with the same reach as you. Your reach becomes longer. Pythagorus and all that.
Cheers Irish.
Please remember to get your picks in the prediction thread before tomorrow night, guys....
Boxing's really in a bad way when none of these fights can be made. The incentive structure to make the big fights is out of whack.
I'm always impressed with Povetkin. His balance is beautiful, which gives him a really excellent punch arsenal. He seems to know how to negotiate...
I know this won't be a surprise to anyone here since we all know it by now, but first finding out that Sonny Liston had a longer reach than Vitali...
I think this is a pretty easy style match up for Duran, can't see this being especially close.
thats ideal
Keep 'em coming guys. I don't wanna have to chase people up by PM etc, make things easy for your resident Hut, please.
Has Hatton even ever fought at Junior Middleweight before? WHAT'S GOING ON!? :scared:
So what happened in the first fight seems to be a big influence on the judges in the second fight, but if you're a living legend like Ali or...
Haven't seen that one either, but from what I've read that might be a good example. :Thumbs:
Now I'm just gonna talk to myself.
I've edited the OP so steve_dave and Ramonza now look suitably stupid for having misunderstood.
Norton-Ali II? I've never seen that fight but I hear allot of people think Norton won.
How about this, more to the point - can anyone think of a counter example where the guy who won the first fight in the ring (whether the judges...
Toney-McCallum II might qualify. Toney clearly won the first, IMO, but no way did he win the rematch by 7 points.
What time is it now? Out here there are rabbits in my garden.
Running away scared are you!? Victory at last!:hammert::lol:
Howling at the mess of this thread :lol:
:lol: This is not only the worst title, but the worst thread ever, apologies all round.
Self fulfilling expectations on the score cards. The judges have expectations of the pattern of the fight based on the first fight and score close...
:lol:
Aha right, I get you.:Thumbs: Nah, I just mean fights where the events of the first fight, predominantly in the ring (but on the scorecards too if...
Well then we're agreed. I think the fact Mosley had won very decisively in the first fight probably helped colour the judges perception of the...
It's because I scored them both either much closer than the judges or for the other man! I can't answer the question any more fundamentally than...
Boxing is like a hot girlfriend that deserves a good slapping about.
I assume this won't be a catchweight? Please tell me, it's not a catchweight.:scared2:
I'm not completely sure what you mean by the question. But in line with the thread, I personally thought those two fights were scored too...
Good one.
