still, i think it had more to do with Pavlik's ability to back Miranda up. Miranda is used to fighting at his own pace - throwing when he wants to...
he's good. but isn't it funny to hear RJJ, P4P star, refer to him as a, "monster?" and complain about having to face him? it's so obvious RJJ...
good point. this is what makes PPV frustrating; the fact that it costs money above and beyond dollars we're already spending. it'd be different i...
he said he'd fight anyone. :lol: and his main take-away from the Pavlik/Miranda fight was that Miranda was over-rated. and when coached by...
either way. DiBella's the one who figured incorrectly that if he put someone in front of Taylor who couldn't hurt him that Taylor would be more...
i find it hilarious that DiBella's whole grand scheme back-fired completely. he figured he'd put Taylor in with Spinks, Taylor could play the big...
well. i started the thread. so i feel obligated to reply. i know it sounded like i was bitching. and maybe i was. but the thread isn't meant as an...
i agree. i think what makes a month-long stretch of no big fights so hard to handle is that we're used to having so many. so i'm with you. the...
YES! he's constantly trying to endear himself to the fans. it's hilarious.
isn't Manny Steward Taylor's manager? as well as his trainer? if so, shame on him for pretending to be without blame as to Taylor's choice of...
i agree. i was actually surprised when Hatton/Castillo was announced for regular HBO.
I don't think there's any way Abraham makes it into the mix. He's not going to leave Europe, and the last thing a guy like Pavlik is going to do...
i'm sure he feels reassured.
i'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not in your claims, but believe it or not, i agree with you that a case could be made that Spinks won...
yeah. Spinks should've been more aggressive, though, like PBF. now PBF knows how to put on a show.
well, either way, the less fights you watch, the less you know. just keep that in mind. all fighters are linked by way of having faced each...
yep. backing Miranda up was the key to the whole thing. As pavlik said, Miranda is a bullly, which means he can't fight for shit going backwards....
oh yeah !!! forgot about that. gotta check that out.
ok. but you must accept that as a result, your knowledge of the game will deteriorate slowly, rendering you less and less worthy of our...
exactly. which is consistent with all of the evidence we have here that you're not a real boxing fan. and it shows through in your commentary.
no. it's not a big deal. but it's note-worthy given the long string of fights we've had. some of us enjoy boxing in general and miss it when it's...
i didn't think ODH/PBF was so bad, but point well taken. JT/Spinks was awful, but Pavliik/Miranda saved the evening. and it's hard to imagine...
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: RJJ considers Hanshaw a monster? WTF is wrong with this guy? He's in the wrong business if he thinks Hanshaw...
here we go. no big fights happening until June 7th. our run was nice. now it's time to go nearly a month without a big fight. are there any...
well, nothing's changed for RJJ. he hand-picked this kind of opposition before he got KTFO, and he's doing the same now.
thing is, at 130, for the most part, PBF was at least taking on 130 pounders (although he did call out Hamed at one point). Taylor is a big 160...
i agree. what i object to is those not making a pick who give people shit about their wrong picks.
my mistake. i wasn't clear in my pick. point is, i made a pick.
huh? wtf are you talking about?
i'd like to see PBF vs. Pavlik. :lol:
