Fights ending after 12 rather than 15. Fighters fighting so rarely. Change those two simple things and boxing would be 300x better.
Great fight, bout fucking time Fedor fought a live body! Just hope this'll get shown in the UK.:cheer:
Suberb article, very interesting. The more of these historical articles the better, IMHO.
exactly. The guy has 12 inch arms and a belly. Get back to 154lb or go away!
true, true
This = truth. Even if Tito was 28 and the fight was at 160 I'd pick Taylor. The fact Tito is a hundred years old and fighting at a weight where...
yeah, I literally bought a couple of his PPv's just for the interviews.:clap:
classic! 'SPIIINAL!'
p4p is a dumb concept, IMO, but i think Penn at his best is the better fighter.
No I have them both on tape. Hell I have every Tyson fight on tape, actually. But they were 6 years and jail sentence before this fight could...
away and raffle yourself.
Yeah, I'm not saying it's one of the worst by any means, I just listed it because I happened to be watching it on Youtube at the time and I wanted...
Well, I generally agree with most of what you say, so I went back and rewatched it to check if I was wrong here,,,,,(which on my shit stink modem...
was he taking punishment? Was he in danger? No to both. Are there any other grounds for stopping an important, competitive fight? No to that as...
The ref wasn't counting when he stopped it. The ref was watching Byrd evade 9 consecutive shots when he stopped it. Byrd was taking no punishment...
so what? He was still off balance, he was hurt. But he wasn't taking shots. The point in a stoppage isn't to reward the guy who's put on the hurt...
:lol: Ah the funky Chicken dance! Recalling that one never gets old! Gets up, starts clucking his arms at his side like a rooster, put his hand up...
I'm not backing down on this one!:tease: He was slobbering immediately after the KD - he was BADLY hurt. Hell, if It had been stopped there you...
The Byrd stoppage came after a barrage of 9 punches, all of which he slipped. He was BADLY hurt by the punch and showed championship fortitude &...
The Manfredo stoppage was slightly premature but A) Manfredo was too dumb to fire back B) The fight was so uncompetitive that it basically...
hell yes it was. He was defending himself effectively and there were about 3 seconds left in the round, it was awful. Tyson-Ruddock was a joke as...
Premature stoppages, lets list 'em Ibeabuchi-Byrd Tyson-Ruddock I'm dry...any more?
You think Mike had the will power to last 12 in hard fight circa 97?
Agreed. I would actually tend to lean towards Tyson stopping him in the first 4 rounds. Ike was skilled, strong as well - but the disparity in...
Non title fight, Middleweight, both men weigh in at 162lb. 31 year old Hearns coming off his draw with Leonard, 26 year old Benn coming off his...
prime my ass. Tyson was mentally fragile as hell through this period. If Ike can last 8 rounds I'm not sure Mike would have the fortitude not to...
this might be right to a large extent - a good big man will beat a good little man, all things being equal (although at heavyweight the law of...
it really is a mystery. It started in the 80's, but it was really only the advent of superheavyweights like Lewis and Bowe that led to it becoming...
I really have no idea. But you can't seriously think that these guys are training like they should?
You're an ass, as usual. A few have decided to train properly as I've said. The Klitchkoe brothers have been by far the stand out fighters of this...
