That wasn't what I was talking about, though. His circling/running around the ring for the first half of the round was the strategy to which you...
The way I've summarized the stoppage - and the ref - is that a ref more in control of the action, and less concerned with the surroundings,...
I thought it was a weak stoppage, but Holt did nothing - before OR after the knockdown - to suggest he was any longer interested in fighting back....
Kind of. Roy actually said it, but Tim Smith sold it as if Roy threw the fight. The truth is Roy threw the line out there, and left it wide open...
how did you see it? they showed it in PR?
:bears: ... though that was actually Roy's excuse (one that some of his fans still cling to, mind you)
I don't know. The conspiracy theory was always that Oscar swept (or dominated most of) the first eight and Tito took the last four. But I never...
oh :lol:
That was Evander's pre-fight predictions. Excuse me, not prediction, but guarantee, that Gold told him he'd knock out Lennox in the 3rd round....
Two things: 1) Holt keeps saying that they didn't give him credit for two knockdowns, as if he didn't get credit for either one. Maybe it's the...
eddie just can't resist bringing a conversation to MySpace, can he? :lol:
I was given Tua the benefit of the doubt, suggesting that he goes in survival mode, and between that and his stellar chin, he manages to last the...
I thought Trinidad won the 2nd, 4th, 10-12... and on days where I scored it a draw there's one more round between 5-8 that I gave him.
yeah, that's the one part of that episode that always stayed with me as well. he almost sounded stuck between characters :lol: ... though TWIN...
I don't think it's a fight that Wlad is particularly seeking, just one that he might be forced to take in order for his team to avoid a lawsuit....
I can see this (though I don't see Tua dropping him), but was thinking that it may very well play out as a repeat of Lewis-Tua.
not sure a win over Tarver in 2007 any longer warrants the term "winning the big one."
yah, that part i didn't have a huge problem with. The problem with the ending was that he was alert enough to believe it was a premature stoppage,...
From those I know who were on hand or saw the fight, all had Holt winning by a comfortable margin. But yeah, I don't disagree with what you say...
Are you sure you saw the fight? Nobody else on hand or who watched it saw things that way. Not to mention that it was a left hook that put Holt on...
Queens :nono: .. but otherwise agREED 100% I enjoyed Hamed/Kelley the most (save for the ending, of course), perhaps because of the environment...
maybe he gave Head to the NY Commissioner :dunno:
Not for nothing, we're talking about fighters who still have it at an advanced stage of their career. Bringing up a fighter's prime is irrelevant...
I think they film in LA. I agree, between training for that and having to train for his fight, something's gonna be sacraficed. My guess is the...
*insert smashing head against brick wall emoticon here * Fine. When you go almost 3 years between wins, and a good portion of that period in...
of course I am. A 2-3 year period of your career isn't a significant amount of time? And in this day and age, who the hell calls for a fighter to...
I think it was a chance to piggyback on the momentum that the MI commission is pathetic and at least morally corrupt. It was a few months after...
I thought Johnson-Judah was far worse than that.
a lot of people say that. i'm in the minority in not having a problem with Rico winning the fight. I didn't think he won 8 rounds, but honestly it...
gee, why doesn't anyone believe that you're a Mosley fan? :lol:
