Im sorry but the guy just infuriatres me so much. I was a fan before (mainly cos his achievments have to be respected). Yes He's great at what he does and thats nullifying the other guys strenghts and grinding out a win ugly! but god damn at what cost? He bores the hell out of me and frustrates the hell out of me, equally!!!
I have to put it in perspective, he is 43 and he's good at what he does. he slows the pace right down and has a talent for making guys wary of coming in too often cos he counters them early and makes them over think what there doing. Thats the good bits and it ends there.
Ok it doesn't quite end there. he's the master at building a fight up to the point where he convincing the veiwing public to tune in, in the hope he's gonna produce fireworks and we might see him in (dare i say an exciting fight) mmm well a fight that people are entertained by:thinking: and in the process making him and his apponent a heap of money.
well its a good job he's at the end of his career cos he's timed it just right. Me for one wont be convinced anymore and the best thing for him to do is retire and sit on his riches and wait for the hall of fame!
He needs to be remembered for his early performances and not the ones were he throws one punch then holds to stop (nullify) the other guy from landing any fuCKING THING AND THE REF SAYS FUCK ALL AND HE STINKS THE BASTARD PLACE OUT ONCE AGAIN AND IM SICK OF HIS SHIT..
But really for calzaghe a wins a win as ugly as it was (through no fault of his own) he needs to fight Palik next who comes to fight and will provide a real barnstormer. yeeeeeaaaas Im so hungry for a good fight!!!!:boxing: :boxing:
I've watched Bernard fight quite a few times before this so I knew what to expect from his style. I wasn't throughly enertained, but since the fight was close and Bernard showed he could hurt Joe it made it tense. Which I like.
Hopkins isn't boring, he's past his prime. He has some amazing fights and ko's on his resume, he just should've retired years ago. Clearly you should stick to cartoons because you can't comprehend what true technical boxing is.
I know he's had some great ko's and great fights in the past but im actually talkin about the fight he had last night. remember? I can appriciate a technical boxing match but technical clinching might float your boat but its not for me.
Did you watch the harrison fight?
no i missed that. ok i went a little overbored saying he's the most boring i've ever seen in my life, ruiz and harrison are worse (just making a point) and i missed the harrison fight. what happened?
The ones that appriciate a good Boxing match enjoyed this fight. I was interested troughout every round.Indeed, it was very suspenseful and intense to me.
