Exciting?
You said "most people" found the fight exciting. Well, who are these "most people"?
I would like for you to explain what aspects of the fight would a causal fan who does not really appreciate the ART of boxing they found exciting in the Arreolla/Klitchko fight?
Mind you, people want to see heavyweights BANG. Not BOX, but BANG. That is what casual fans are used to and EXPECT when they watch a HW fight. So what part of THAT fight would have been entertaining for these "most people".
PLEASE elaborate in DETAIL why they would have found that fight EXCITING?
Not you, not me, not hardcore boxing fans, but CASUAL fans.
He's alright, man, really. A decent fella.
Set aside the beef and give it a go at getting on with him.
My last word. :)
i really cant see that happening lol
but il bear it in mind mate
I think I've seen worse posters on here.
I think daggum is hilarious because his obssession/hatred for Calzaghe is so over the top, you can't help but laugh when you read his posts. In other words, it's just me not taking him seriously.
ye i get ya he is funny in what he says and clearly exaggerates things for a comedy value which i have no issue with
their are worse posters your right. example-klitschko2009,benncollinsaad and alike :rofl:
Cowardice isn't something you can measure through someone's use of an 'ignore' function. This is an internet forum, essentially a toy to be played with - many people here use the function, they can't all be cowards.
Ever think it's maybe just the manner of expression he's disagreeing with? I mean, take your avatar as an example, it's plainly there for antagonistic effect. That's not an attack or a criticism of you per se, just an observation.
If you actually make the effort and attempt to broker some kind of mutual understanding of each others' POV, you will get along with the man (that is, if your own POV isn't completely rooted in obnoxiousness and a desire to provoke), or you can naturally come to an arrangement where you just leave each other alone - if you don't wish to resolve, but would rather just protract the shit over months and months, that's your flaw. Carnivore is usually pretty open to truce, from my observation.
Anyway, that wasn't the point I was responding to, it was your mischaracterization of him as a 'racist'. Let's not fight.
ye my avatar really upset tunney no doubt,that was after he put me on ignore when i proved him wrong
its sad that he cant have a debate with me but i dont hold it against him,their are plenty of decent fans on this forum
he isnt one of them,and i tell it how it is.
we are not fighting lol you are a good poster
daggum and carnivore are the 2 worse posters on here
one is a racist obsessed with big white eastern europeans
the other is a racist who hates any europeans for no good reason
that said,its funny too see them argue like a pair of little gils.

Nah, that's old, N/A in any way to the current state of things - and that misleading reputation was forged through two-sided baiting games that Carnivore has long since outgrown, anyway.
he is a coward
disagree with him and he puts you on ignore,thats pathetic
:rofl: :rofl:
daggum is a funny fukker, regardless of what anyone thinks.

I expected Daggum the European-hater to come in this thread and make a sarcastic post.
You ever get tired of bashing European boxers? Why do you despise them, Daggum? Have you felt this way all your life, or did something happen to you to cause all your hate?
don't be silly i'm on your side. you going to the next rally?
it was clearly fight of the year and one of the most exciting fights fu*king ever. the only reason it won't win is cause everyone is racist. :fest30: foty!
It pains me to watch Vit Klit fight. So mechanical.
I like THIS:
I certainly agree on the mechanical part, though I think on the whole ; that's just the European way of doing things.
Though I think the division has more potential right now than it has since Lennox retired ; Waldimir, Vitali, "Fast" Eddie", David Haye, The return of Tua, James Toney ; there's a couple really good fight possibilities right there.
For the record ; I didn't think the fight was that boring.
Infact I think it had quite a few "moments".
I expected Big Klit to completely steamroll him within 4 rounds, but Arreola's grit and dtermination made the fight much more appealing than I had anticipated.
It wasn't anything like Calzaghe-Lacy. Calzaghe-Lacy was a one sided beatdown where the one guy was mixing up his arsenal throwing straight punches, uppercuts, hooks and movement but also pressing the fight and pushing forward against a guy who even if he landed had nothing to give against Calzaghe who was a whole different level of excellence.
Vitali-Arreola was an OK fight but not exciting and none of the casual boxing fans I know really wanted to watch it, it was jab, jab, move, jab, right hand, move/dodge. Rinse repeat.
I'm not knocking big Vit though, hell of a win + performance but it was not exciting.
Agree; it wasn't Calzaghe-Lacy. That fight was exciting and had me standing up saying to people, "Damn, Lacy is getting schooled."
Klitschko-Arreola was much different. It was more about admiring what Vitali could do to adjust to a certain style...that he didn't have to use his size to over-power an opponent.
Klitschko-Lewis was exciting; Klistschko-Sanders was exciting.
Nobody I know thought Vitali's last fight was exciting but many did have respect for the way Vitali fought.
