I have been reading and apparentely Bernard Hopkins is the most broken boxer in the game.
He can throw headbutts with straight rights and never get DC'd, he can also clinch like mad and the commentators call it being "Wiley" and "Being a throw-back".
haha funny shit lol gotta love bhop's way of fighting lol
Hopkins totally obliterates Froch.
Bute will UD him but could get KO`ed.
NA MEAN!
if andrade ko'd bute like a bitch then what makes you think froch wont do a quicker job?? i fancy froch to ko his overated ass.
WAR FROCH
was it the same cut opened again?
na this one was nearer the side of his head. That cut he suffered last year was proberly the worst i've ever seen, it flapped open.
Bloody crap mate.
yeah it aint to good isit. I wish sky would had all the boxing setanta has, still cant complain atleast they show pretty much all the best fights from around the world.
I have to be up around 11 tomorrow, should i sleep now till around half 3, wake up, then watch the fight, then go back to bed or just stay up until the fight? I found when i woke up for hatton-Pac i was pretty groggy
wake up and have a coffee as soon as you wake, itll wake u up abit. Thats what i do atleast.
I think its the camera, I already played around with my TV's ratio settings as I spotted this too.
I hope the fix it.
yeah it aint to bad but its still a little annoying. I think its just the top rank camera's
I hope cotto plays it kwl for the first few rounds, throwing a few punches and moving off similar to the start of the tony fight. After about 8 or so rounds clottey will start to get desperate and once he starts to come out of his shell defence cotto will catch in couple of times and win by tko in round 10.
What i think will happen is cotto will box clottey smartly like the shane mosley fight and win a wide ud in a exiting fight.
:boxing: WAR COTTO :boxing:
na no links sorry lads. im watching from home tv on setanta.
calderon is having a little trouble with mayols reach, the blood from calderon's cut isnt coming out as much this round. he's looking to stop the cut getting worse.
yeah the commentary is really crap. I just hate the way the camera is really close and they miss half the action as sometimes one boxer goes off the screen.
its amazing that after 2 or so years of having boxing on tv setanta still have shit presentation for fights, sky piss all over them whenever they have a live event on.
what do they say?? 'its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog'.
On the other hand they also say 'a good big'em beats a good little'em'
I think it'll be the second one. sure mannys the better fighter but cotto is so much bigger and defianatly atleast and A CLASS fighter with world championships and a great resume.
ortiz will be a world champ son enough i think. He throws his straight left really strange, he seems to crouch down and leap up and forward with it, has anyone noticed this???
Oh on the subject of an amir kahn fight. Frank warren wont let it happen as he knows victor will probly ko kahn.
seems like a real nice bloke aswell, good on him. he'll make a great world champ one day.
WAR VICTOR
Id fancy victor by late ko. Bradley is a great fighter and has fast hands and great technique and footwork, but i dont think he hits hard enough to keep victor off him for 12 rounds. eventually victor will catch up and load up on that powerful straight left punch he has.
Massive respect for both fighters though, as they both are entertaining to watch.
WAR KESSLER
If he wins this whole tournament then he would surly have to be on the p4p list????
also kessler is meant to be one cool guy but **** me he looks scary, something about his eyes makes him look real scary.
the guy beat a world class fighter with a reat defence and better chin with only one eye. You cant expect him to look quality doing it. If cotto hadnt got cut then he would a dominated clottey and won a very very wide ud. I hope im right and he isnt shot though.
Paul Williams would finish Cotto's career.
i dnt think so. Id fancy cotto to cut the ring and take away the distance williams had. Also i've noticed p.will loves to fight on the inside and his lanky body would be ripe for a couple of signature left hooks to the stomach.
back to the post, i think cotto has got to many fights left. Myabe a rematch with mosley or a fight with pac man then call it quits. He's had wars i the last few years with the top blokes and your body no matter how good you are can take them kind of beatings for to long.
that would be a tough one, berto is very very quick and i suspect he could box ortiz with ease and maybe stop him late. Then again ortiz is relentless and hits very hard and if he hit berto clean on the chin with his straight left then it could be good night for mr berto.
the viking warrior would tax his ass all night. Cloud would get picked apart by kesslers straght punches. I think kessler may be one of the best straight punchers in the game today.
Its all well and good saying people who pepper kessler with shots will have an easier night, but dirrell lol come on lol there is no way he will stand there and even attempt to hit kessler with combo punching, kessler would catch him a few times with that right hand and it would make dirrell run all night. I think kessler has a few to many things in his arsenal for the other fighter, abraham to slow and doesnt throw enough, dirrel will keeping running, froch is to easy to hit and will get ko'd and ward from what i've heard has been hurt by by much smaller and way less talented than kessler. And i agree with an above poster, kessler does look suspectable to a body shot as he was hurt by calzaghe/
I think froch wont get anywhere near kessler when he throws. I know kessler looks very robotic but he's a very fit man and has a very good chin as he's never been shaken his whole career, also his defence although looks rubbish is very good, mundine is way faster than froch and he commented just how hard it is to catch kesssler clean. Added to that when froch comes charging in he may just get caught with that beast of a right uppercut and if he does he wont be getting up for a long time.
He should be allowd to use whatever gloves he wants.
thats what i thorght. both camps have to agree on what gloves there fighters are using though. I remember odlh making floyd use reyes gloves as they dont protect protect your hands aswell as the grant or winning one's that floyd useally uses. I've seen a couple of pic's from the fight and abrahams gloves look so much smaller than jermains.
