Whichever organization will let Ward get his IV's. Ward is best buddies with Conte so it might be VADA. Or Floyd might hook his brotha up with his pals at USADA. Either way we all know Ward is a cheater.
Yea funny thing is no one accused Donaire when he was working with Conte. Not to mention Donaire happens to be a long time friend of Ward
If he beat Cotto, he'd want to call out the big names, Mayweather, Canelo, Cotto rematch, probably tell Pacquiao to come up to 155 to fight him as well. GGG is low reward, not sure if he's high risk because I have not seen him against a good fighter.
Stop kidding yourself. A middleweight vs a blown up jr.welterweight is high risk no matter what
How is Bradley a blown up JWW when he fought at 152lbs in the amateurs? He's not a MW, and would be too small for real MW's like Golovkin, Quillin, Jacobs etc but that's about it, he'd be small. JMW is not a foreign weight class to him. He's about as much as a blown up JWW as Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto, Khan(wanting Cotto at 155lbs). Cotto's not all that of a full-blown JMW himself, coming in at 155lbs for a 159lb catchweight fight, and asking for a CW himself for a Margarito rematch.
Bradley's power is Malignaggi like at WW. You said GGG is not high risk yet because resume blah blah blah. Bradley gets KTFO quick vs GGG and might last 6 rounds at most against Cotto at a catchweight
This is pretty bad. Someone I know predicted Diaz would test positive because of the late show to the event but I never would have guessed Silva was dirty. Most likely used it for recovery from that injury
So you don't watch boxing outside of the US? Some boxing fan you are. Casual fan status.
I watch whose worth watching. Do you **** anything with tits and an ass because you like pu55y?
Hi i was wondering what is needed to require The Hitman style (Thomas Hearns)
i just joined boxing gym a month ago and im trying to adapt to a style im 6ft and have long arms
im in the super flyweight category and close to bantamweight , so something between 118-120 lb is as high as i can go! i am 18 btw turning 19 this year!!!
I have a decent jab and my right has ok power, but im using a weird stance i keep my left arm WAYYY OUTTT like foreman and just parry the shots and counter back, i don't use my shoulder but my elbow to throw flurrys of jabs, is this the way to go or no?
My opponents are mostly between 5ft4 and 5ft7 lol always! , il never meet anyone my height its weird
Thanks! :boxing:
Practice only your up jab over and over for a couple rounds. Just let your arm hang loose by your side and jab away
A great thing to notice here is, neither man backing up. This is called inside fighting. You know? Two guys who want to win the PRIZE they are FIGHTING for instead of ducking, dodging and bouncing for twelve boring rounds to pick up an inflated paycheck to the dismay of a bored crowd. When they say, the art of inside fighting is lost, it's fights like this that build that argument.
As much as I love inside fighters the sport is called boxing which encompasses all fighting styles. It is irritating to see Rigo leave a wounded animal in the ring for the full twelve or Mayweather outbox everyone without taking risks but if you were a modern day gladiator you'd want to have as much control of the outcome as possible.
Nobody faults Ali for not fighting Foreman or Frazier head to head because the fighters who box on the outside generally do it out of necessity.
People in here need stop bringing up Bob Arum the man has help made fights like Hagler vs Leonard, Chavez vs De La Hoya, Holyfield vs Foreman, Foreman vs Moorer, Leonard vs Hearns, Hagler vs Hearns, Ali vs Frazier II and both Ali vs Spinks fights , Al Haymon is not on his lever but he can be if he does the right things in the next 10 years
How many of those fight were you even alive for and able to appreciate?
LMAO stop kidding yourself
I'm still wondering if he can box well enough to keep Provo off of him. He struggled against Molina and it is brushed under the rug like nothing. Provo isn't going to be knocked down 3 times like Molina that's clear
Good post man! Great to see this clip again but it's interesting to note that even at this stage, Patterson was outgrowing the middleweight division, in fact, he never once weighed in at anything less than 165lb if I'm not mistaken.
Imagine if Patterson had somehow managed to make middleweight, he could have been in the ring with Robinson or Olson or Fullmer and with his size and speed, he could have beaten anyone of them, especially as some of these guys were approaching the ends of their careers. In terms of Grant, it's sad that a guy who was highly touted as he was, would go on to have a limited career, ending in a KO loss to Olson.
I read somewhere that the fight was being considered at lightheavy and that Sugar Ray was going to move up but Cus rejected the fight because it was a lose lose for Patterson who was so much bigger
Oh damn, didn't know about this but yeah, I can see Cus' thinking, the heavyweight title was vacant and Patterson would have felt more comfortable coming in 180-ish, rather than 175. However, Patterson beating Robinson would have been a huge scalp, missed opportunity maybe?
The thinking was the similar to Hopkins-Kovalev. If Patterson(Kovalev) wins the public would say Robinson(Hopkins) moved up too much/was too old and if Robinson wins the public would say how could Patterson lose to a much smaller/older opponent. Lose lose situation for Patterson
Marciano fought guys as big as Wilder and he KOed them. ,
YDKSAB. Rocky never fought anyone 6'7+ in his career. Lets make this easy, rocky = 5'10 195
wilder = 6'7 220
Rocky doesn't last four rounds guaranteed. Walcott and Charles were old farts at the time and still gave him a run for his money, tagging him whenever they wanted.
He's asking after the fight is signed. He shouldn't have signed the contract without it being in place. Then he should have went on a media tirade saying kova is refusing testing and the fans would have been on his side.
That didn't work for Mayweather so why would it work for Pascal of all people
He gets GGG and is forced to fight 3-5 more fights under Arum depending on their outcome. A little demanding especially if you feel you could be making more with a manager that only "advises" decisions as opposed to forcing them
First off I want to say that Rigo is one of my favorite fighters today along with most of the cuban fighters but that was a soft ass jab that dropped him. Only positive is that he seems to pop up right away after every kd
The cuban HW's are some of the few fighters at that weight that actually have decent boxing ability. Whether they win or not usually has come down to how hard they've trained in camp. both have had sloppy camps recently( Solis and Perez)
Lol at the people who think Porter would bum rush Rios like Brook. If Alvarado can outbox Rios with his mediocre skills best believe Porter will do the same and may even have the power to get the TKO late but smart money is on the UD.
Ya'll must've forgot Porter is a 154lb fighter who moved down
How does Porter have a better resume? I just don't see it. He has beaten a couple of more popular boxers like Alexader and Paulie but those guys weren't exactly the cream of the crop at 147.
I would say there resumes are about even when taking into consideration Rio's Lightweight wins.
Please elaborate with names lol. Alexander alone is a better win than anyone on rios' resume easily
