Vassiliy Jirov's Fighting Tonight

one of my favorite fighters, vassiliy jirov is fighting tonight. he fighting orlin norris, former cruiserweight champion whose known for being beaten by almost every good fighter he faces. but then again, vassiliy jirov has lost all three of his fights against quality opponents: joe mesi, james toney, and michael moorer. i like jirov because of his tiger persona, his aggressive southpaw brawling, his strong chin, his excellent bodypunching, and his boundless heart. im looking for feedback. what do u think of vassiliy jirov?

I did not see this fight. I wish draws never occurred. I feel there should always be a winner. I read this fight was outside and it was very hot, too hot for both fighters to fight. So, Jirov and the other fighter were always afraid to get tired early. Perhaps this is why the fight was a draw. So, I guess both fighters won. I am happy Jirov has never used steroids.

Jirov drew with Orlin Norris :rolleyes: . I love watching Jirov's career spiral downward, especially since he said it wouldn't surprise him if Toney was on steroids when they fought. Screw Jirov. I'm glad Toney ruined that punk's life.

I like Toney but I cant wait to see how fat he is tonight. Jirov will probably run wild over Norris but maybe it will be a more competetive than people think.

im watching it when it comes on tonight on espn. Its on Fox Sports Net not ESPN. Best Damn Boxing Period I think its called. Where Tom Arnold used to score rounds 10-5 and 9-6...thank god they got rid of him. Atleast now James Toney gives us his trash talking insight the entire night.

I think he is a bit damaged from the Toney loss...and the Moorer loss, while it was not out of the question, was a shocker when it happened out of no where in a fight he was winning... I think he would serve himself to move back down and hopefully catch and Johnson, Bell, Davis, McCormek (spelling?), Tarver...heck even a Lacy or Calzaghe if they moved up more...
