Calzaghe won the battle and beat Hopkins in their fight.
Hopkins won the war and had a better career, faced more challenges and will go down as the far superior fighter than Calzaghe.
*Looks at RichCCFC's location*
Oh wait, nevermind. :lol1:
Roy's family should also take some responsibility for letting him continually get KO'd.
Doesn't he have like 3 sons? I would never let my father take that kind of punishment again and again, he will die in the ring if he doesn't stop.
So sad.
I agree with this.
Also, hes one of the most arrogant boxers around and in the professional ranks he hasn't done much.
Groves was right when he said everyone around DeGale are just telling him what he wants to hear like Groves is chinny, hes not on DeGales level, etc, etc.
Whats sad is he wasted all that money he made.
Hes so close to being beaten up bad that he won't ever recover from it.
Sad to see those clips of Roy in his prime to the Roy of today.
What the FUCK was Smoger thinking letting Lebedev get off that last shot?
Didn't Pavlik pummel Taylor like that when he was slowly slumping into the corner? Smoger was the ref in that fight too.
We sometimes hate Smoger for the same reason we love him, hes leaves no mystery in a fight and lets it go to the brutal end.
Vitali could fight in any era, he is just that awkward stylistically, tough and that hard of a puncher.. not to mention he is ALWAYS in shape, never slouches.
Wladdy gets KO'd by the hard hitters of the old era who were in shape and not big fatasses with tits.
Regardless of who makes Amir Khan's decision for him, the legal system says that a verbal agreement is as good as a written contract. Of course it's always good to have that written one when dealing with dirty people like Team Khan.
Also, contract law lays out rules about when a person "has a reasonable expectation of payment for services rendered".
In this situation any court is going to back Ariza and reject Khan's retarded arguments.
Agreed, plus Team Khan are known for being cheap bastards. They had 4 guys sharing a hotel room which was only meant for 2 people, they will do anything to cut costs while raking in all the money.
First of all props for fighting someone so much taller than you, a 5'6 guy wouldn't even fight me (I'm only 5'11) because he said I was too tall and he backed out.
I aven't read any other response so this might've been said a 100 times but for me, the main thing to learn from that fight was you didn't adjust at all, you were fighting him and going for headshots like you were both the same height, it was a waste of time and energy.
You should've really dug to the body.. 1) He was a lanky, skinny **** and would've really felt it 2) He was wide open for bodyshots and 3) You work the body to soften him up and when he adjusts and lowers his body to protect from those shots, then you go to the head.
Your right hand really sucked at times, it was basically a slap at times. Crisp, sharp punches are the ones that hurt, not the slaps.
You're still learning though and the only way to get better is to actually fight and get in there.
Lastly, did I hear some chick in the background say the Lock Haven guy was cute or was it just me? No homo.
Its funny how much damage a runner can do.
Did you see Williams sliced up face after that fight?
He got hit with so many counters he said "YOONAWWMSAYIN" 20 more times than he usually does.
dhude chill out. dont ever call a guy who does fighting for a living a peice of shiit. ur a joke son
Who called anyone a piece of sh!t?
Stop b*tchin bro, Marquez want the fight to be pushed back to October/November.
Doesn't sound like much, a finger injury, but I'm guessing you lame asses have never experienced one and tried to box at the same time, it only gets worse and worse so whats the need? And it hurts like hell too.
Sarcasm is lost on you then I guess. I was having a dig at Juanma for not fighting Celestino in the first place.
Oh yeah.. I broke my hand during a tourney.. so don't talk down to me, son.
Personally I think it was Ward's head that did most of the damage.
I forgot about Billy Goat.
Wards head rivals Haglers.
Hearns broke his hand on Haglers head.
Kessler went blind from Wards head.
Froch just whooped Kess a lil more.
of course he'd still be feeling the after effects... it was less than 24 hours ago that he fought froch!!!!!
Actually there were stories that Kessler was having dizzing spells.
I know he'd still be feeling the effects of a 12 round fight, you fool.
I meant the dizziness and seeing spots.
haha
bunch of tards
ahhahah
JC ruined him years ago
he kept fighting Euro bums and then he steps up and fights a skilled american and a touch skilled Euro with heart
add that up and it =ruined
its not the head buts as you euro f ags suggest
JC didn't ruin him since he has no power to rattle Kesslers brain, if you mean ruin mentally.. then you're also wrong because he dug deep to beat Froch.
Calzaghe ruined Lacy because he beat him into oblivion and the fight went on for 4 rounds too long, Kessler wasn't given a beating.. he was just outpointed.. get your facts straight.
I'm not euro btw, faggot.
This fight will be alot closer than people think.
People are also forgetting that just because Pac didn't show it during the fight, he took punishment in the Cotto fight.
It will be interesting.
Trust me, this fight will sell 700,000 ppv's upwards. If it breaks 1 million I wouldn't be surprised. This is a big domestic fight, and whatever happens the belt stays in Britain. This fight will do big numbers guaranteed.
Agreed.
Its smart business but not the fight us boxing fans want to see.
But if Haye KO's Audley in spectacular fashion it won't matter.
He better fight again soon after that though, barring any injuries.
Yes, SKY are good at promoting the PPV fights.
I was in the UK when Haye fought Valuev and there were street posters, bus posters, tv ads, Haye on chatshows.
It was promoted well and even non boxing fans were discussing it.
Nice analysis, but I actually think Khan wins this, hes the taller guy and will use that to his advantage, his jab is better also.. which would be key for Khan to win.
He also has far superior handspeed and better footwork, UD Khan, he will dance around him all night and frustrate.
Don't be fooled, Berto doesn't hit that hard and Khan takes a better punch at the higher weights, in a few fights I expect the glass chin comments to be gone.
Kessler 7-5. That means Kessler is better than Froch at this particular time.
I am over it, pal. I can still say freely whenever I choose though that Dirrell won that fight, regardless of whatever journalists, grandfathers or boxingscene posters agree or disagree. :)
It was more Froch's laziness that he lost that fight, if he kept active he would've won that with ease. Kessler was swinging wild and he missed sooo many punches. He only has himself to blame, but it was still close considering Carl took rounds off.
You can have your opinion and thats cool, just hate all this "robbery" talk. If you do EVERYTHING TO WIN in a fight and lose, then you can complain if you think you won.
But if you run and play act, throw a few punches then run again and cry, you only have yourself to blame and have no valid point.
I hear you bro. Just can't see him getting stopped. I've been wrong plenty of times before though.
Me either, but it would be great for Pascal. I'm not betting on a Pascal KO, but its not out of the question.
Even though Kessler beat him? And Dirrell too in my eyes.
Kessler beat him in a close decision, if you say otherwise you're a Kessler scrotum gobbler.
Dirrell lost, get over it. Even his granpappy said Dirrell didn't do enough at the post fight conference. BY no way was it a masterful win, but Ward wins ugly, Froch won ugly that night.
It probably would, but B-Hop aint getting stop. No way no how.
I don't mean a Paul Williams style KO, I'm talking Pascal could score a flurry TKO, they are fighting in Canada and B-Hop doesn't throw much.
TS obviously has doubts about his own sexuality, thats why he has to make a thread questioning others mens sexualities when it has nothing to do with him.
Interesting.
