Watching Shiming-Oubaali, I'm thinking maybe for Shiming's fights they should change it up and score thrown punches instead of landed punches....
Well, I may be wrong, but from what I remember, he changed his pick during the week of the fight.
Uutoni-Maszcyk tied 5-5 after four rounds, and the accepted scores were even as well. They then have each judge press the button for who they...
Yeah, and then he picks him to beat Lewis.:lol: I never quite understood it. But he's certainly become the accepted narrator of Tyson's career.
That was easier to watch than him throwing up. :lol:
Not really. :lol: At least for entertainment value. In that sense, it's somewhat unwatchable, to be honest. A bit like the Holmes fight....
The Bowe fight and the Alex Stewart rematch. Atlas ended getting most of the credit for Michael Moorer but I sorta consider him more of...
Yeah. I think it's under-estimated how much he changed after that first Bowe defeat, when he brought in Manny Steward and bulked up for the...
Holyfield, who slugged it out with Foreman, went to war Cooper (in which he was knocked down), and beaten in a slugfest by Bowe (in which he was...
Agreed. It seems like it's rarely even given much consideration that he didn't fight for four years during what would have been near-prime years...
They're also doing a better job of adapting to the landscape of boxing...by showing more international fights. Haye-Maccarinelli,...
That was taken word for word from Dan Rafael. He also says the network will carry Steve Molitor-Celestino Caballero in November "as long as...
If you want to get topical: You fought in the 2000 Olympics for Mexico. What was that experience like for you? How did that help you grow as...
Which loss has been tougher for him do deal with/come back from? You held the WBO title for a long time. What is the feeling like now that you...
Shawn Estrada lost in the early session. Afterwards he said he was "just happy to be here"...repeatedly. The results of today's fights with...
Interesting.
Artayev beat Korobov in what was kind of a cat and mouse fight. Korobov appeared discouraged in the final round, looked like he was holding more...
Darren John Sutherland gets a fourth round stoppage, tells Jim Gray it's the pro game next.
Alfonso Blanco Parra is an entertaining fighter from Venezuela. Seems like he's gotten pretty tired in the fourth, though.
Lee Oksung just wasted a lot of body shots. :lol:
Yeah, that was the worst fight I've seen in these Games by far. The general rules seems to be the lighter the fighters, the lighter the fighting.
It looked like Vodopyanov got a pretty raw deal as well. He was tied with Kumar after four and somehow the judges had Kumar landing more punches....
Roberto Duran against William Joppy was pretty bad. There could really be a few different threads on this subject...the faded champs/names that...
Well, he was a big fighter that was pretty well developed at fighting on the inside against smaller fighters...but he also got hit a lot with that...
In a topic with Bowe and Lewis, and it's Lewis who fought a lot of bums? Very balanced take.
I thought the discussion was just about their careers heavyweights, since I wouldn't put any of them in the top 10 if we're not talking about that...
Thanks for that recap. I guess I sorta missed where all the moves and machinations had left Haye. That's a pretty sad line-up the rest of the...
That's a little biased against Tyson, given when his prime was and when he fought Holyfield and Lewis. He's really not from the era of Bowe and...
It sounds like it after reading Dan Rafael's chat today. Rich (Stamford, CT): Hey Dan, thanks for chatting. Since HBO has passed do you think...
A well though out answer to this could take a long time, so my first response is Bowe third and Holyfield fourth, in a round robin format, because...
Separate names with a comma.
