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...
OK, it's an alternate universe and a disagreement over purse size has temporarily scuppered Tyson-Holyfield II. Holyfield goes back in with Moorer...
It was a good chin. The Rahman shot was one of the heaviest blows ever landed in a heavyweight championship fight, he couldn't have landed a...
Tell me about it.... People seem to want some sort of arcane sociological explanation for why the division sucks, like more big athletes taking up...
I agree.
Nice gesture by Floyd. I now hope he's hit by a truck rather than blow torched by death. :clap:
I see. Seems you're one strong mofo. :popcorn:
It's fucking CLOSE. Both are as fake as shit - it's probably a draw. If anything Oscar's sucrine fakeness being more calculating and contrived may...
hmm....funny how everyone on the internet is always elite yet nobody in a gym ever is.:lol: Seems like both of you should go into professional...
Boxing fucking rules at the moment. 3 bona fide classics already and we're not even a quarter through the year. Viva la boxeo!!:bears: :cheer: :bears:
Im just saying it's rather disengenuious to bring up the fact that Pep was KO'd a couple times and Pea wasn't without acknowledging that Pep had...
Pep had about 3 million fights, for chrissake. :lol: He did everything more than Pernel.
I think this just about explains it's self. Only proviso - not who was the greatest or most accomplished or the best fighter, just who was the...
How much do you weigh Buddy? According to the chart 275 and above is competitive power lifter strength for individuals weighing well over 250lb.:eek:
Tyson was a bad man.
