he fought a tough opponent and fought his heart out and proved the skeptics wrong. he fought a beautiful fight and you dont know sh!t about boxing nut hugger
Rofl, almost getting knocked out and having to hang on for dear life at points in the fight means it wasn't a beautiful fight. it was a gutsy performance, not a beautiful one.
If you was to see a beautiful, flawless performance go check out Whitaker vs Chavez, Hopkins vs Pavlik, Winky Wright vs Felix Trinidad etc etc. Those are beautiful, flawless performances.
for all his amatuer experience, he doesn't really fight the way you would think a top olympian boxer would.
Look at Oscar,Whitaker,Mayweather,Leonard etc, those guys throw straight punches, are never off balance, and are always alert. Khan on the other hand throws a lot of looping punches, has a kind of herky jerky style, and he has trouble staying alert which is how he got caught with his hands down in the 10th round last night.
he fought a stupid fight?
amir fought a beautiful fight. the reason he got knocked out by prescott was when he got hit he didnt have the sense enough to back the hell up and keep to the outside and box his ears off. watch that fight again. when he got hit he just stood there and tried trading with him
amir is a totally different fighter since then and has more experience.
Beautiful??? Lol that was not a beatiful fight.
You can argue that Amir didn't fight a stupid fight, but that was far from a beautiful performance dude.
So khan almost got ktfo? when ? ... when he got KNOCKED DOWN IN THE FIRST ROUND?
oh wait...........................................................
I'll take that as concession that you don't know what your talking about. :pat:
Maddalone-Minto was hella entertaining so if you get a chance to catch that one, do it.
Maddalone isn't much for defense and he gets hit a lot, but his fights are pretty entertaining as he likes to brawl.
Adamek is too good of a boxer for that shiit. He'll probably be picking him off a lot, and Maddalone is somewhat chinny but I don't think it will be a one-punch stoppage most likely an accumulation stoppage after an ass-whooping.
I might throw some money on Adamek winning inside the distance on 5dimes, the line is -235 right now i believe. I can't can't see Maddalone going a full 12 rounds for the first time in his career tonight.
yes he can. minto's not the most powerful hw either. i'll bet you
It does seem like they may have have taken this fight to get Adamek a KO at heavyweight. I'm really not familiar with Maddelone, i haven't seen any of his fights, i know he turns 37 later this month though. Just for fun I will go ahead and bet you all my points that Adamek doesn't get a KO.
Considering Maddelone hasn't ever tasted a left hook that he didnt come back and ask for seconds for, I fully expect Adamek to KO him.
Rofl yeah, i just checked out his record, it looks like he's NEVER gone 12 rounds in his career.
I love losers like this that cop a superior attitude when a fighter from the same country as them wins a fight.
"Nationalism is hating people you never met and taking pride in accomplishments you had no part in." - Doug Stanhope
Ricky Hatton has two losses on his record who both happen to be the best two boxers in the last century. so TBH there really isnt any shame in that is there?
The last century? Wow your really reaching there.
Who gives a SH** what Pac's advisor has to say?? This guy isn't a fighter or a trainer.
You might as well have made a thread about what Pacquiao's limo driver thinks about MMA
So, all you have is two fights?
Now, compare that to boxing.
Its well known that boxings biggest problem is getting the right fights to be made.
We also didn't get to see Liddel vs WAND untill both guys were shot and out of their primes.
and Silva vs GSP may never happen.
Overeem hasn't fought any top MMA heavyweights yet either.
It is a lame excuse I agree.
Who cares if the Top Heavyweight Champs are not American at the moment, it's not a big deal, we still have some guys in the top 10.
And our MMA fighters are better than yours too... so suck it.
British women are the fattest in Europe

So you Brits aren't in any position to talk, still not as fat as Us but your getting there peeps.
Lol its funny how defensive yanks get about anything,chill out,get a sense of humour,you are not that great and nobody else is either,relax
99% of the nationalist hate I see on the internet is directed towards us Americans, so pardon us if we get a little irritable about it at times.
I love Tito, but he doesn't do well against pure boxers like Floyd. He got outboxed by B-Hop, Winky and DLH.
Whitaker was coming off a 16 month hiatus, at a big size disadvantage, and 10 years older than Tito when they met up. And even then he still was able to win a couple rounds and go the full 12.
Floyd UD
and the Oscar goes to...
ANDREEEE The Matrix DIRRELLLLLLLLLLLLL
And you probably think Martisyoan deserved a UD against Kassim Ouma too? Lol as long as your Armenian boys come out on top, that's all that matters to you I guess.
MMA is a fad, it will pass by in a decade at most. I went from Germany (where boxing is king) to England in university and most of the English sheep-shaggers there in Yorkshire went to MMA fights because it was 'cool' and 'popular' at the time. They knew nothing about it.
I don't know man, it seems like it's getting more and more popular,the younger generation especially likes it. I like both but eventually I think MMA will takeover. It's actually been around for a long time:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pankration
