So instead of a personal attack, could you perhaps give the reasons why you find it likely that Leonard attacks Martinez and walks through him, as...
Correct. Just like Willie Pep didn't do well as a trainer even though he knew more about defense than anyone else. Unique style demands rare...
Yeah, while not everybody likes all that thinking and shit
When has Leonard been an aggressive, forward-coming fighter by his own choice, much less at 154? Also, why would he do that here, as Martinez is...
:notallthere:
More likely a decision. Both would be pot-shotting and at 154 Leonard's edge in speed would be a decisive one. Clear decision for Ray in a fight...
Agree to disagree, then let's hug and chase a rainbow together, not clinching in the way?:truce:
And if you don't feel like fighting, hold 'briefly' to prevent your opponent from punching and hump him hard to drain his strength?
I am not saying this. Winning fights is what is important and thus the strategy that brings wins is 'good boxing technique'. This just means that...
Whether the ref breaks it or the fighter decides to let go to grab again soon after it makes no difference
Ruiz won much more than he would have won with his original tactics. Just because his style was Duran-like doesn't make him a bad example to this...
John Ruiz was first an all-around boxer in the top-30 level or so, then changed his strategies and went on to compete on several title fights
Shitty trash-talker but very cool to watch
Refereeing in Konstantin Airich - Danny Williams was IMO even more all over the place, but what made this worse was that it was that biased,...
Marquez' advice was useless, but no advice (apart from whiskey's "hit him really hard and don't let him hit you") is going to help Cotto at all....
I am not saying some physical fitness is not useful and as you said, none of these are really all that important when you look for the best...
Hamed was a great human being
All I am saying is we don't really know the limit of Pac's punch resistance yet. He seems to take a very good punch and I would assume that if he...
Considering that Pac has not been even badly hurt, much less down, not to mention stopped in a decade, I wouldn't be so sure of Hearns' quick KO....
I'd say swimming and running requirements are the ones that actually matter, in a modern war the ability to do situps doesn't come to play very often
The Johnson biography was the more recent one by Geoffrey Ward: Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson. 450 pages of small...
I have to disagree. I have witnessed several athletes, even the more clever ones, saying extremely stupid things when the interview is done right...
No, it is our duty as real sports fans to find out who's better and then mock and discriminate the crappy one
I don't think he has been crap, especially the last time Argentina had no kind of tactic at all (as Maradona 'coached' them). Messi did what he...
Thanks. In Finnish there is only one word for such books. I think the best and worst books are the ones written by others: if the person doesn't...
Is Holmes' book mostly about his fights, or does he also give opinions about the sport and/or society? Also, when has the Corbett one been...
It is often true. By autobiographies I also meant books that are actually written by someone else (I don't know if English has a different word...
Recently I remembered just how much I like to read boxing autobiographies. I read them from other eras of life too, but I think I like boxing the...
50 cent in Blood Out. Why do they give this rappers movie roles?
I think it is interesting that even though boxing in principal is a very simple sport, different times have different innovations and also...
