Briggs is definetly going to regret that.
WTF was he thinking? I havent heard anything since the fight so I dont know whether he got genuinly hurt or not but the fight was a joke.
I hope this makes Danny Green get serious and fight one of the top Cruiserweights for a real belt. But I highly doubt that he will do that.
The punch didn't even touch him man, if he's seriously injured he needs to be in a hospital be because that wasn't even as hard as a noogie the glove slightly rubbed the top/back of his head.
On a side note, not tryna bring the whole Roy Jones Jr. argument back up but does that not look like a shitload of tape on Danny Green's handwraps?
Doc, if you think this has anything to do with handwraps you're a bigger fool than Briggs.
I clearly said the punch was barely even a noogie, I dunno if I'd go as far as to say it even grazed him if anythin it hit glove. I was just sayin it looked like am excessive amount of tape on the wraps, for them to have mattered he wouldve actually had to have landed a punch
It deff won't be Malignaggi becauseaside from going to Italy/Europe he's also moving up to 147. I don't see it being Lamont Peterson either unless Top Rank is giving up on him and just trying to make a quick buck which I don't see either. I think Diaz is a good matchup, I don't think it will be a bigger name than that though. I wouldn't be suprised if it was a lesser known name in all honesty. Regardless I think Zab looked good even of it was against a nobody. He was very patient which is the most impressive improvement to me, also he threw a shit-ton of jabs. Anybody that thinks he has no chance on this run at 140 is living in the past and caughtup in the expected Zab hate.
In my opinion Judah takes out Bradley as long as he doesn't have a mental breakdown. There's a good chance to KO him too.
Khan I believe Zab would beat also, although that's a lot more of a tossup
Alexander is his hardest matchup at 140. With Devon's power, speed, and angles it could end up bein the end of Zab's comeback
You're a delusional Hopkins nuthugger, Hopkins didn't even want to to fight Danny Green because he was scared. He would get knocked out by Abraham, Cloud, Bute, and Pascal for sure.
Someone who's favorite fighter is Amir Khan saying someone else should fight real competition for once and calling someone else delusional? Holy irony Batman!
Sh1t if Glenn is done Hop is def done. Only reason he would make it some what competitive is his defensive style and his dirty azz tricks. I never thought I'd say this but I hope somebody retires Hop old dirty azz.
Against Daniel Judah and the second Chad Dawson fight, Glenn looked absolutely done. He's got decent stamina still, but he could barelyyy find Judah and simpley couldn't find Dawson. Against Yusaf Mack, he looked done till Mack stopped moven and stood and traded with him. Against a boxer like Hopkins he would lose again. I'm not saying he'd get TKOd like last time but he can't do anything with movement at this point in his career. He's not done but he needs to be matched carefully. Against someone that will fight in close and stay in the pocket and throw he's still got a great chance, but we all know that's not Hopkins
green would smash hopkins.
hopkins simply won't risk it.
i hope he does fight green to make the ignorant ones eat shit when green ko's him.
You couldn't have picked a more appropriate username homie. Back away from the keyboard before you hurt yourself. You talkin bout the same Green that had extreme difficulty putting away the worst pro I've ever seen in the Argentinian Dominguez on the Hook City PPV? He KO'd Roy.......legless old Roy who sat on the ropes for him. What on earth else has he done? His claims to fame before that were losing to Mundine and gettin the shit kicked out of him mentally and physically in sparring by James Toney. Aside from that you wouldve never heard of the bum.
I love how everyones crucifying Hopkins for Saturdays performance. Is he usually dirty? Yes. Does he usually clinch a lot? Yes. Usually when he clinches it's for a short time and punched and works. But Saturday night ALLLLL Roy would do was clinch and hang on for dear life. Occasionally Roy would throw those ridiculous "uppercuts", aka him swinging his forearm upwards and tapping Hopkins with his thumb-area of his glove. Anytime Ex clinched he tried to work and Roy clung to him like a ****in leech. Bernard also had to try n lead the whole fight due to Jones' reluctance to do anything, when is the last time you can recall him doing that? Probably not since the first Roy fight.
I'm in no way trying to say is was a good fight on Bernards behalf, but all this hate on him we should be hearing double on Roy. All he wanted was to make it to the final bell, why is that being overlooked?
Froch lost, he ran from Kessler and even when he ran he was hit by Kessler. Funny when Froch calls Dirrell a runner, Froch runs against Kessler! Froch is a ****ing hypocrite!
Comments like this are the reason "boxing is a dying sport". Go watch a Butterbean fight you remedial bastard. Because Froch's awkwardass tried some footwork and using the ring he ran? Running is what Zab Judah did against Carlos Baldomir in the late rounds of that fight, what Carl Froch attempted to do is called BOXING. I'd love to hear your opinion on what guys like Willie Pep did.......****
Go commit suicide, go watch MMA loser! Froch is a hypocrite and attacked Dirrell called him a runner! Why do you have a crush on Crotch? What is your obsession with him?
Lol I pretty much dissed Froch throughout the post but I have an obsession with him? And you're mad at someone not standing there and fighting like an idiot and you're telling me to go watch MMA? You talk shit about Froch sayin Dirrell ran yet you say Froch ran? You really are remedial hahaha. Dirrell "ran" more then Froch did but I don't think either one of them ran, they did what's called boxing you fool. The sweet science, hit and don't get hit. Put the over-sized crayons down, you're making yourself look more retarded with every word.
Back to the issue at hand, 1 round either way or a draw is completely acceptable. It was an ugly(technique-wise), but entertaining, close fight
If Toney really does have a signed contract with UFC, he isn't boxing anymore because Dana White doesn't allow his fighters to do anything outside of the UFC.
He does have a UFC contract but supposedly Dana is letting him take one more boxing match beforehand and it's supposed to be on May
Jones still has pretty decent hand speed, but his legs are long gone. He cannot move like he use to hence the fact that he lays on the ropes for 12 rounds now.
He is pretty much a shell of what he use to be, but in his prime he was unbeatable.
However you want to put it Roy is shot. His legs are gone. That's why he lays on the ropes more n his leepin hook isn't all that anymore. His hand speed deff isn't what it used to be. It's just a statement to how nasty he really was that a shot Roy Jones is better and/or more entertaining than most LHWs.
If Roy beats Bernard Roys still shot and Bernards now shot too kuz let's be real, he should Execute Roy's senior tour.
And y'all are buggin, prime Roy or prime BHop would school Calzaghe, shit old Bhop still shoulda won. Calzaghe was a shoeshiner and a paper champ, he fought the fight of his life against Lacy n that was it.
No cause Mayweather actually throws and boxers, Cotto just runs like he did vs Margs, Pac whenever he gets into trouble and gets his ass whipped in the process has that ever happened to Mayweather?
Mayweather didn't exactly look like Money in the first JLC fight playa......
And Cotto wasn't running. Watch Zab Judah vs Carlos Baldomir, Zab was running. Cotto was doin a lot of moving but would stop n punch or sit against the ropes n wait to catch Pac coming in. When a guy's rocked you a few times why are you gonna stand toe-to-toe and try n Gatti it out? Yeah that made him popular but look how many times he got ****ed up. When Cotto was moving and workin his jab Manny couldn't do much besides get his head snapped back n get frustrated following Cottos moves. If Cotto was so hurt and just running then why didn't Manny hop in from of him/cut the ring off n finish him? I don't think it's kuz Manny doesn't know how to cut the ring off....I think it's kuz Cotto was still a threat as shown by the bomb he landed off the ropes in the 11th.....5 rounds into him "having nothing and running"
Who will televise?
Hopefully nobody, Big Six is a disappointment. Seen him fight a few times, he has the potential to be a very smooth/slick fighter but he has no pop, no killer instinct, and is never consistant. I wanted to be a fan too, he's from Provi like 20 minutes from my city but it is what it is.
Adamek by late KO or TKO unless Estrada is on his A+ game. He's got the size and skill to keep jabbin and keep him away but he doesn't have the focus.
LMAO. Why on earth would anybody wonna fight him now?
All these people asking who Jason "Big 6" Estrada is, that's why somebody would want to fight the Rock. Any shmuck knows who Hasim Rahman is, and at this point in his career, he shouldn't give Adamek too much trouble. Lower risk, bigger reward in an Adamek/Rahman fight compared to a fight with Estrada
expect a much more competitive fight than he had with golota..estrada lacks power but is highly skilled and has the style to give adamek problems.
That's what my mind started to think at first but then I remembered any time I've seen Big6 fight he always takes rounds off, and the first round he takes off Adamek's gon make that the last round. Like I said before if he stays focused he could frustrate Tomasz but I don't see it happenin, Estrada is too inconsistant.
Miguel could of been cheated but nothing is proven so you can't assume things. He always fought the best and for the most part had a strong showing. He probably isn't a hall of famer but he had a pretty good career if you ask me.
Why do you feel he won't be a Hall of Famer?
I think he's had a very good career up to this point. He probably was cheated out of an even more impressive career by Margarito, he deff hasn't been the same after that fight. Losing to Pac, until/unless it's proven the steroid thing is true, was due to stupidity not cheating. He shouldn't have agreed to a catchweight and shouldn't have used that trainer, coulda shoulda woulda though. IMO he's one of the greats of our era and will go end up in Canastota
I'm sure Macho Camcho will fight again this year, his entrances were always the shit, ITS MACHO TIME!
Now talkin about relevant fighters, check out Shariff Bogerie. Straight outta Uganda, dude wears a lion's skin/head and is carryed to the fight in a cage.
Zab's my boy, I've been backin him for years, but I don't think I can roll with him on this one. You're gonna back out of a fight with Diaz on the JMM/MoneyMay PPV undercard kuz "Diaz is a bum" and the moneys not right, to fight Israel Pito Cardona? The same Pito that was easily beatin by Machito Hector Camacho Jr.? On an independant Super Judah Promotions PPV? Damn Zab......I think those 3 times your head hit the mat against Kosta's startin to take it's toll my brotha
i have a fight tomorrow against one of the regions top fighters at 178 pounds and it all got me thinking. i remember when i was in elementary school i weighed 80 pounds and i was winning my play ground fights, i got suspended but it was worth it. now im sitting here in amazement at how i will win my fight tomorrow at 178 pounds when years ago i was dooking it out weighing only 80 pounds. if i keep winning for a few more years i might transfer my amazing story over when i get into the pros.
Ain't a damn thing amazing bout winning some playground fights homie
ain't bein a dick I call em how I see em
Let the dude have his moment.. Good luck, and let us know the outcome.
What's your name?
I ain't tryna take anythin away from him, but fightin on a playground is like enjoying a titty....it's what guys do.
An amazing story is somethin like Edison Miranda being abandoned and forced to survive eatin roadkill and workin construction at like 12 n gettin through it. Or the Peterson brothers bein abandoned and living in cars n shit.
Regardless goodluck man.
Finally I don't have to pay $34.99 to watch another Square Ring PPV of Roy fightin a bum and listening to Bob ****ing Sherriden. Thank you Versus! Goodlooks on the news, I was prayin they'd put it together like that to build the re-match hype since most casual fans have no idea they fought like 16 years ago
RA is a beast, his cd was straight but his random shit is deff better. I can't remember who else is on it but there's a track called The Renaissance n it's prolly his illest. That or Uncommon Valor by him n Jedi Mind Tricks, RA spits about his fathers experience in Vietnam......kills it
he's a hugeeee boxing fan though, big Trevor Berbick fan too
Did Emile ever actually come out? I remember it being widely believed/assumed he was but I don't remember him comingout.
It's gotta be Macho Camacho. Watch one ring entrance or interview n tell me that's not the gayest man since Andy Dick
