Roy Jones for me. In his prime there was nobody who could match him, and as mentioned before he didn't lose until he was 35. Lets wait until Mayweather comes back and is in his mid thirties to make this comparison.
he wont come back, he is slowing and he know he cant fight the way he wants anymore. or should i say run away the way he likes to. fight fans are better off.
Ive only seen a few lousy cam vids of Kolle online never seen one of his fights.
So not sure if this fight is a joke or noe but Im assuming the Williams camp sees Kolle as a weak target to gain entry into the next division.
Thats my hope, i think they believe it will be ward all over again. Taking a quote for pw,kolle will bring his "awesome" to the ring. I truely believe this is kolles coming out party.
Will everyone shit the fuck up about MMA...it's a sport (if that's what you want to call it) for the socially retarded. Doesn't do anything for me, no art, no science....just 2 guys beating the shit out of each other.
Take a trip to my local pub on a friday night at kicking out time and you get MMA for free without pads.
I love boxing too. But mma is way more than a simple street fight. Yes, much science and art. You ever see some of the subs? Its like talking football and basketball, two dif animals.
Miranda by knockout right now, let's see how Williams does against Kolle first.
Kolle is a tough, bring the fight to you, fighter. williams will have his hands full. he has never faced somebody who can match his size and length. kolle will give him all he will ever see from this weight.
From the footage I've seen of Kolle, he's not a mover, he likes to come forward and throw his shots, he seems to throw good combinations and straight shots but the fighters who give Williams problems, as evidenced in the Quintana fight, are movers but it'll be interesting to see how Williams deals with the size.
I have been to quite a few of kolles fights and I think you are right on in your opinion of kolle. I do, however, think kolle moves better than he is given credit for. Against pw, kolles size and power will have to be what he wins with. It is a major jump in quality, but kolle will take out pw, no score cards needed.
his speed wont be test too much. Kolle will be right in front of him trying to push the action. Kolle has a good chin and his heart wont let him quit. if pw has his power at this weight you will know it with the kolle fight. cause kolle wont be running, he cant if he wants to win.
never that bro. im a fan who says floyd hurt ricky the most when he totally outclassed him and whooped his ass all night long...
im also not excusing quintana. im playing devils advocate because im just trying to counter guys making excuses for williams' first night.
what im really trying to say is that a third fight will nullify all excuses by either camp and that id rather see quintana-williams than kolle-williams at middleweight, two divisions away from where i wanna see paul. id like to see williams beat quintana convincingly again while margarito battles mosley and/or clottey setting up a rematch with williams and margarito (one that can pave the way to a margarito-pw trilogy if margarito can beat him this time)....
mostly because kolle will take him out in 3.
the day is here, from the weigh in photos i have seen, pw still looks to be the bigger man even at 160. My guess is, pw will look much the same tonight as the pic. I also think kolle will look quite a bit bigger than he does in the photo, due to weight loss for weigh in.
anyone else jacked up for tonights action?
it used to be on youtube (andre ward-kolle)
Kolle has grown quite a bit since that fight. He was just getting started. Im a life long fight fan and this kid is pretty good. I expect many here to be suprised. I first watched him fight on an undercard, he stole the show. I have since watched 5 of his fights live and the fight from a few years ago with ward. Remember he is not the same guy that fought ward. This will be a good fight and maybe a coming out party for kolle.
its not good to look past a tough foe. he needs to keep his eyes on kolle at this time. Kaos is no joke, and you all will be talking about him soon enough.
williams should fight quintana he has nobody else to fight
he was scheduled to fight some bum at 160
fight quintana again and erase any doubts
kaos kolle is no bum!
dlh did it on purpose... he only needed floyd sr. to make the dlh/pbf fight more hype... if dlh doesn't fight pbf its useless to pay floyd sr. that much.
i couldnt agree more, this makes hatton/oscar a big fight. little manny is just too small.
