I don't about the contract, hopefully you're right and we can get fight night back.
Far superior game
I'm gonna search for the article if I can't find it I'll let you know
Anyone know why we haven't seen a knew one?
this game was nice on 360, backward compatible on the once. You could play as throwback fighters, the mechanic were damn good for a boxing game.
UFC games are trash with the wresting.
I could be wrong, but I thought the last UFC game was actually the last in the contract they had with them? EA sports probably can make a newer one now no offense, but the Ufc games aren't the best at least no comparable you know?
I believe Andrade is too much for him unless he gets caught by something, but I also don't think g has the handspeed nor the foot speed to trap him especially at his age now.
That was a brutal one sided beating. Do you guys think it may ruin Mikey both physically and mentally from here on out?
Garcia definitely took unnecessary punishment. I think so, Spence is very heavy handed and Carries his power deep into the fight as well, so all that said and the sustained beating most certainly will take something off especially if Mikey goes back down in weight to his normal division right after. Mentality I'm not entirely sure just cause he went the full distance and got some kind of moral victory, which don't do too much once your body has been beat up over a lengthy time gotta see it pretty much mentally, but yes physically.
He is overhyped. A budget, scuffed version of GGG.
He is a weight bully that doesnt want to face the best fighter in his own division and rather faces lightweights and old past time boxers.
A weight bully? Dude what a joke Garcia called him out and kept saying how he saw flaws that he could exploit. You're probably one of those dudes who gave ggg a pass for kell brook, but criticize Spence for it. Crawford and Spence will happen, so be patient. Don't call the weight card when damn near everybody was on Mikey's nuts and now wanna cry about the inevitable that took place.
Robbed..Why does he owe Wilder anything?
He was the one robbed, he was the one coming off the cocaine alcohol layoff..
DAFUQ world you cuuntss live in??
U won't hear me say he owes anything I actually think he won, but the bashing of a man shouldn't be. Not saying u tho so don't block me on here mane lol ight. As stated previously only a boxer and defense beats wilder tho and fury has both
I also have Tszyu down as a better puncher tbh, he stopped more championship level fighters.
Yet he never had nearly the same hype and clout as GGG has had. I've never really understood it.
Don't get me wrong he's a great fighter and has really proved himself over the past couple of years but his career and accomplishments have been vastly overrated, his p4p ranking normally inflated, in reality he's on the same level as the other top 154-160 lbers...he was never able to create the separation his fans, and followers promised. The Jacobs fight was nip and tuck, so we're both Canelo fights, and I'd imagine anyone else at that level it would be a similar story.
Tszyu arguably beat better fighters in a more impressive fashion, but at the very least his resume stacks up against GGGs, yet one guy is seen by many as one of the greatest middleweights of all time and the other a solid HOFer at best
There is a myth around GGG which makes people believe he is better than he is, I've never quite been able to put my finger on why
G is cool, but he's not the greatest or one of the greatest anything. I don't have much knowledge on tszyu aside from he beat zab when he was good. Remember G and his people said anyone from 154-168 and we see how that turned out the beginning and middle points of his career were virtually trash fighters like geale and wade his toughest fight was kell brook a blown up welterweight. He never delivered on his drama show with lemieux either, so his ranking is much lower in reality. He should've had tough fights from the beginning or at least much better opponents then he'd be ready for the challenge canelo and Jacobs presented, but that's beside the point. Tszyu has done more per weight than G bottom line.
Does Canelo have a shot against Kovalev at 175?
Nope. Unless there's a rehydration clause then possibly, but going up to 175 and Kovalev? Nah he's much faster with dynamite in his fists. He's not GGG not a punching bag he fights back. Depends on when he wants to go this year? Or wait it out a bit? If the latter then disregard what I said, because he could probably get the stoppage or at least decision over a faded champion. 6mos from now? Straight dreaming and fairytales don't end well in reality.
Noted-
i think a skilled fighter can get in there--and not "too far inside" ......bowe/ holyfield/ etc...
Ruin wilders right hand distance and you got him.
Please let everyone know when you find a holyfield or Bowe type fighter. That guy doesn't exist right now, but let's see what's next for Wilder let the man celebrate his victory before the "Blueprint " comes around.
Oh no, I agree with you. I was explaining the African style reference. Not cosigning the passive aggressive racial bs at all
Thank you bro. Just happy a few people on here have sense.
So much racism here, it's hard to breath sometimes....almost like without using race as an excuse for any shortcoming in life would leave people with nothing to say at all.
Man I'm so tired of these weirdos bro, but at least some people on here have some sense.
He needs to stop fighting african style (come forward with hands down punching bag) and switch it up to mexican style ala canelo(come forward with slick boxing, head and waist movement, hit and not get hit)
African style? What in the hell does that mean? Sounds like you're bringing race into this.
Every fighter has their own style Hurd is a classic brawler, but that doesn't classify as African like you so oddly chose to go with. Canelo wasn't always that slick either damn sure isn't Mexican style you fool.
Passive swipe at Jacobs who called his style African when pressed by journos for the Canelo fight. Was meant to say African-American because he listed AA fighters but came out with African, in response to Mexican style GGG-Canelo questions
Even still there's a much better way of saying things. Always been boxer puncher or pure boxer, etc. Goes for everyone you know? Boxers included
Pac with an injured arm beat floyd and the video supported my claim.
Maybe floyd beat weight drained canelo and bloated jmm who he cheated on the scale.
All you think about is Floyd huh? Everytime you post something all you do is criticize the man, we get it he beat your idol and made it look easier than anyone else before.
Whatever obsession you have with Floyd is not just weird, but downright foolish.
I was impressed by Canelo, he seems to be still improving, which I didn’t think was the case.
How would he fair against prime Ward at 168? I would make Canelo a slight favourite.
Jeez. Canelo has really impressed everyone on this forum man its really scary when you get a thread like this. Not really even sure what to say besides Ward would beat him he'd be the 2nd pure boxer he faced and first he wouldn't be bigger than, which would be a culture shock.
Whenever he loses again the internet will truly break.
Say andre ward actually defended the belt instead of retiring and fought stevenson. how would that fight have faired at the time cause truthfully just as many or more ppl wanted to see kovalov vs stevenson before those plans were altered
If Stevenson didn't want to fight Kov he wouldn't fight a boxer like ward.
His straight left would be his only weapon he'd get picked off all night broken down and stopped different caliber of fighters.
Since you're so strung up on contracts, are you aware that, long before Ward fought Kovalev, Adonis Stevenson did in fact send Andre Ward a contract.
They sent him a two fight contract when Ward was still at 168lbs. The contract stipulated that the first fight would be at Ward's weight of 168lbs with the rematch being at Stevenson's weight of 175lbs.
Naturally, your cowardly boy rejected the contract and didn't want nonw if that smoke, just like he didn't want to unfiy with Stevenson after moving up.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, rhen it most definitely is a duck.
Its funny you mentioned a contract guess what? I just did a search and to my bewilderment there's not one inkling of a contract so there's lie number one of your constant bull****.
2. Stevenson repeatedly called him out without making a real step forward in making that fight happen, why make **** up when it never in fact happened? You're the kind of person who spews baseless accusations and believes the **** they come up with.
Ward would've trashed your boy he never even fought outside of Canada to fight overmatched opponents so listen up ***** keep your mouth closed while the adults are talking step off.
Kovalev has nothing to do with it. Why you mention him.
Fact: Stevenson REPEATEDLY called out Ward for undisputed showdown.
Fact 2: Ward did not respond and ran into retirement.
Whether you think Ward would have won or not is inconsequential.
I happen to think Jermall Charlo would have destroyed Daniel Jacobs if they fought. Doesn't change the fact that he ducked Jacobs, same way your opinion of Ward beating Stevenson doesn't change the fact he ducked the fight.
Charlo vs Jacobs is truly irrelevant. I mentioned Kov in my first post or did you not read it thoroughly? You don't fight the champ to run from a one handed fighter or is that something you don't realize.
You go on and on about being called out if that's all it is doesn't mean much if an offer was never actually made, however if you don't recognize that not much more I'm willing to talk about with you.
On the contrary, Stevenson repeatedly called out Ward but Ward ran into retirement instead of unifying and taking the opportunity to become undisputed champion of the world.
He must be kicking himself because we saw how washed up Stevenson was just a fight later when he went life and death with Badou Jack and then got knocked into a coma in his next fight.
Did he actually make any real offer for that fight to happen? I remember Kov calling him out and he never did anything besides theatrics.
Ward would've been too much for him he beat the man who he was too afraid to fight against. If they would've fought he'd have 3 stoppage losses on his record.
You have to get invited to the negotiation table first before you can make an offer. Can't make an offer if the guy won't even begin a conversation with you.
Ward, when asked about the Stevenson call outs, dismissed the call outs and tried to play off Stevenson as someone who is irrelevant.
You sound like one of those Keith Thurman fanboys saying "but Errol didn't send an offer though"
How dedaq you gon send an offer to someone who outright dismisses the fight when asked about it? What's the point when he already made it clear he won't fight you?
You don't fight the man to duck someone who's biggest win at that weight was Bellew. Stevenson was a good fighter, who called people out and made no real attempt something you seem so sprung on.
Its funny you talk a lot bull**** behind the keyboard "you sound like this you sound like that" no time for kid games stay with your opinions and I'll stay with mines. Instead of having the running debate let's keep the conversation where it should be, who'd win like most are doing.
Don't come at with me big kid **** save that for someone else.
Who wins? Makabu hits like a truck, and is naturally bigger.
Neither have the best chin and both are quite hittable. Artur might have the better skillset, but he hasn't fought stellar competition either.
Artur could take it if he applies a good gameplan since he has enough power to hurt him and the skills the keep him at bay, but if dude catches him he can go night night. Don't count the man out now.
kills himself to make weight.
I noticed this in the Mikey Garcia fight where he was gassed in second half of the fight and his punches were losing sting.
It was noticeable today as well. Spence was gassed in second half of the fight tonight and his punches took of steam. He had to take rounds off.
Spence stamins is suspect!
Seriously? I knew someone would say something negative. He had a car accident that everybody said would be his downfall and dominated a top welterweight.
He outworked Mikey and threw more punches than ever at that point. Suspect stamina? Sounds like you just have some bs agenda I'd like to see you get in there under the same circumstances. His stamina is great and will be better come the next fight.
