when the 3rd round started and i saw Khyzhniak fighting with the same aggression as he did in the 1st & the 2nd round i feared something like this would happen, all he had to do was just play it safe but instead he got reckless and got punished for it by a wicked left hook, good stoppage too by the ref, Khyzhniak was rly in no condition to continue, Khyzhniak had this gold medal in the bag but rly fumbled on the finish line here, huge congrats to Sousa tho, the come from behind KO in the OLYMPIC FINAL to claim the gold medal, what a moment for him
So far I see no indication that it's going to playing live on youtube. I've read online that it's supposed to be live on youtube but I'm not seeing that on neither Showtimes youtube channel or Showtimes website. Can anyone confirm whether or not it'll actually be aired live on youtube?
also couldnt find any indication that its being streamed on utube...
altho worst case scenario youve always got ---> livetv.sx <---
thats my go to site for sports streaming, just go to the site then to the boxing tab, and youll find all of tonights fights
STOP! You obviously do not know sht about him! He was a peado-rapist who raped underage girls and threatened women with knives, forced them to fight each each other for his entertainment, beat them up if they did not bring in enough money, held women in captivity where they couldn't leave the apartment unless they were given permission.
When the women made plans to escape, they were beaten: It was Isabelle’s turn to go through it. Adonis started off by hitting her in the face.
“After that, he took out a knife, he was pressing it against my fingers" she testified at trial.
This piece of sht excuse of a human being was given a slap on the wrist because of two technicalities and did not pay for the crimes he committed!
Allegedly... theres a reason its called innocent until proven guilty...
do you rly think he would get off on a technicallity for selling/abusing underrage girls? Cmon man u cant be this naive... he was let out of prison after 18 months of a 4yr sentence, what does that tell you? Most likely bcuz they were trying to gather evidence but couldnt make it stick...
Besides aint nobody get a 4yr sentence in the 1st place for selling/abusing underrage girls... the charges he was accused of by the prosecutors aint the same charges that youre accusing him of
I respect his fighting skills but hes an absolute piece of **** as a person.
sometimes u just gotta root for the bad guy
He needs to go for unification fights or retire. No more cherry picking, if he beats the Nail.
i whole heartedly agree, as i said his finances are secure, now its time to go out /w a bang, what i would like to see is: after he kos Gvozdyk then he should fight Beterbiev in a massive fight in canada and if he wins that fight the winner of Kov/Alvarez then retire
you gotta respek the fact he ducked his mandatory for FIVE ****ing years :lol1:
now thats actually impressive, but thats more Mauricio "Slimeball" Sulaimans fault
Good riddens of that piece of SHT Stevenson!!!!!!!!!!!
As i wrote in the Live RBR thread, Gvozdyk rly impressed me, he fought a smart fight and sticked to the gameplan, he outworked and and frustrated Adonis throughout while doing a great job defensively blocking most of Adonis left hands with his right glove aswell as using his elbows to avoid most of the body shots, rly impressive stuff, composed and methodical and a great finish, sure he had that scare in the 10th were Adonis caught him but other then that he was in control for most of the fight, my prediction for a Adonis KO was ultimately wrong, great fight (:
... very big guys are supposed to burn lots of fat during an athletic contest...
I remember, for instance, Vasily Alekseyev (the Soviet Olympic weightlifter)... he was eating 5-7 steaks before a contest...
thats way 2 much regardless, if u want protein rich testosterone food u should run with fish & chicken if ur gonna eat those amounts, its way better for the body then eating lots of stakes
Anyone have a good stream for this? For some reason none of the UK channels have picked this fight up...
i usually watch here: http://livetv.sx/enx/allupcomingsports/6/
or http://vipleagues.tv/boxing but interestingly enough the vipleague site doesnt have Beterbiev-Gvozdyk stream available tonight... vipleague is usually the more stable of the 2 but livetv.sx is good also, the quality is ok but atleast its watchable
also another tip for livetv.sx streams are that they have a separate column for "AceStream" streams which usually are russian streams, AceStream is program u download and watch streams from and these streams usually are always in hd and in russian but thats worth looking into if you want hd quality stream
Anyway the links for the fight usually dont appear until 30 mins before broadcast start so check back @ livetv.sx @ around 6pm et
direct link to Beterbiev-Gvozdyk broadcast: http://livetv.sx/enx/eventinfo/862581_oleksandr_gvozdyk_artur_beterbiev/
hope this helps (:
You should be ok man I think, both these Guys will 100 percent want to turn up on the night, a lot is at steak for them by winning this. Should be a great event. I’m rooting for Dorticos.
You've picked a good fight to watch live. I'm a big fan of the KO doctor. Enjoy!
Ye thats what i figured 2, both these dudes wants this win badly, alot of pressure on both guys, Briedis has to deliver in front of his country and Dorticos has give his everything to win in Briedis hometown, i expect a highly technical war as both guys always gives their all and dont mind getting into the trenches
Ill be rooting for Dorticos aswell cuz he is just an awesome fighter, he got the cuban boxing school technical skills accompanied by a aggressive boxer-puncher approach, meanwhile Briedis also is a very good technical boxer-puncher who dont mind getting dirty to get the win, a true 50/50 fight imo
also win or lose i hope a big name promoter picks up Dorticos after the tournament ends, the guy is must watch tv and if it wasnt for him being in both WBSS tournaments then nobody would know who he is, he needs to get away from Caribe Promotions, theyre garbage and got no reach to pull any strings in the boxing world... hell they dont even have a website... smdh
Nice! Good value for a great fight. Enjoy!
Enjoy bro.
Thx im really excited, altho im hoping now that none of the fighters pulls out w/ a injury since i choose the cheapest flight and hotel options with no rebooking options so im fully committed now to going to Riga, Latvia on 21 March
I got a lot of immigrant friends in the USA. mainly programmers from Europe. Cool and funny guys. They have told me that American people are the most fake in the world. they get invited face to face to events, but never get email or texted directions etc.
Your organized crime is childs play in Mexico or central america.
my russian buddies call america the most beautiful gulag in the world. they tell me they were more free in russia. I hear crazy stuff from them.
In california, we get a lot of Mexican immigrants, i am jewish mexican, and my family has been in the states a long long time. I love the new hard working spirit from immigrant blood.
there is always a down side too. if your economy does not create enough jobs that people actually want to do, and wealth disparity increases, people fight for what their ancestors had, even if that ideal world never existed or was a short lived period.
I can see both sides of the issue. People trying to keep things the same, and others who want to make changes.
I won't bore you with my beliefs.
Enjoy your youth. A wise man told me the same thing a long time ago, and he added, after 30 or 35 years of life, the trip down is twice as fast.
enjoy
Ye i agree
Most immigrants here are hardworking and good people who just want a better life for themselves and their families, then there are ofc those who just wanna do bad $h!t, and theyre the ones that ruin the reputation of the immigrants sadly :/
Its always funny to me when American gangbangers etc think theyre the hardest people on the planet running around saying they bloods and crips etc etc, but theyve got no clue whats going on in some of the countries here in europe, criminal organizations here in Stockholm for example are ruthless and if u diss them or in any way annoy them then ur a dead man walking
envy is running strong on my side. nice price oh to be young again, but I would probably make even bigger mistakes?? avoid the ones i made, and make new ones.
hey, is Sweden really suffering from immigrants like we see on the net and on tv in japan?
Haha ye im 25 so i still got some good years left i hope (:
Well depends on how you see it, Sweden has 2nd most immigrants in Europe after Germany so ye theres alot of immigrants, ive always had more immigrant friends then Swedish friends so i dont mind it personally, altho Sweden obviously cant accept more immigrants cuz its simply not sustainable in the long run, but while Sweden is a safe country, organized crime here is a big big problem, Sweden is pretty much a criminals heaven, the police and military is very understaffed and alot of rival gangs shooting eachother weekly especially in the capital Stockholm where im from, but its usually mostly criminals who have it coming to them who gets killed and stuff like that so its not like your everyday citizen just gets executed in the streets :P
Also theres a racist uprising in the country, the SD political party is seen as a racist party who wants immigrants deported and it has 24% of the voters making it the biggest party in Sweden atm, and the other political parties doesnt wanna cooperate with them so it makes it a real odd and dysfunctional political environment where nothing changes, and the current government is just incapable and bad and Swedens democracy system is very slow and dysfunctioning
But other then that Sweden is good :P
you will get to see the final, and probably get turned out by hot Latvian wimmin.
so many good guys get lost in central and eastern europe. lost between a hot womanz legs.
you will be fine. going alone? dangers lurk behind every pretty face.
fight should be great too.
hahaha yes sir, im from Sweden so its only about a 1 hour flight to Riga lol, besides ive been in Riga before on 2 occasions on party cruises, its a nice old city with good nightlife, and ye as u said eastern euro women in general are hot af, im actually gonna hit up a girl who i used to hangout with who is from Riga, altho she works in Moscow now so im not sure she will be in Riga on 21 March, but you never know hehe, and im going with a friend of mine so we might just hit up a nightclub after the fight (:
Besides, the whole trip: tickets for the event, flight ticket roundtrip and hotel all togheter went for $200 total, so its a real good price for an awesome weekend in Riga
Id have to say Floyd, with Pernell a close 2nd, Pernell probably was a bit more slippery and slick then Floyd, but Floyds awareness and tactics was better
I wonder how Subriel Matias is doing mentally. Hope he is well.
He seems to be doing ok
https://www.instagram.com/ahmedmatias/?hl=en
heard he got a fight lined up for Nov 30 in Puerto Rico, but it isnt official yet
why do ya'll think stuff like this is funny?? what if it was your mom, father or child???
I aint hatin on Spence, hes one of my favorite fighters, its just a joke m8, and i sincerely hope that his face is intact and that he will be able to resume his career, but him disappearing from the spotlight for so long has me worried about his injuries being worse then is being said, atleast cosmetically
But it has to be said that Spence is a dummy for risking everything cuz of his alcohol problems and ego, real stupid to be in this situation in the 1st place, but hey, it is what it is, hopefully he returns @ 100%
No need to get all defensive n shiat, relax
Did Rogan ask him about his controversial wins at least? Or was it just your typical JRE episode where Rogan sucks up to his guest and pretend he's smarter than he actually is?
Can't be bothered to listen Andre Ward talk for 2 hours if it's the latter.
They do talk about all the controversies surrounding Ward, you rly should check it out, it was honestly very good, ima Ward fan but i can find him annoying at times too but Ward rly was a great fighter and he has a rock solid mindset, which is evident in the episode
I really like Ward as a man and respect him a lot but I just was not at all excited about how he fought and think he was gifted twice against Kovalev and should stop talking like some kind of expert on how to beat him. He definitely lost the first fight and was losing the 2nd until he started getting in illegal n@t shots. Thinking that he was on his way to winning anyways certainly acceptable, I just don't think he deserved to win the way he did.
imo the 1st fight was close but the knockdown tipped it into Kovalevs favor imo so definetly didnt like that Ward was gifted that win, the 2nd fight however Ward was clearly winning imo, and that right hand that got Kovalev into trouble before the stoppage was beautiful, but the stoppage was just so anticlimactic, sure there might have been 1 or 2 clean bodyshots out of those lowblows but it rly was a shame how that fight ended, Ward was doing so well and was on his way to the biggest win of his career and then he goes and ends the fight like that, i rly disliked that, it left a sour taste of dissatisfaction, and i also didnt agree with him retiring after, i wouldve liked to see him stay @ LHW and have like 2-3 more fights then retire, but that was never his agenda so ohwell i guess... i always liked Ward as a fighter, sure he did fight dirty but he was so crafty and so skilled that to me as a fan of the sweet science i rly enjoyed watching him punk his opponents, but all in all he had a great career with lots of good names on his record, so got nothing but respect for him getting out of the game with everything intact
I'll agree with that. That is why tank is fighting Gamboa. He will earn mandatory with the goal of beating Lomachenko once and being undisputed.
If Lomachenko dropdown in weight Tank will say Loma is ducking him. Win win for him.
Ye i agree, Davis will prob fight Gamboa for the WBA Regular title, and i think Gamboa is the perfect fight for him to get attuned to the weight, Davis was outgrowing 130 and i expect 135lbs to be his optimal weight, also the Loma fight prolly wont happen until late 2020 @ the earliest, that will give Davis lots of time to get prepared and the fight will be hyped, im real excited about this, great move from Davis, if theres some1 that can beat Loma i believe its Davis, he has the goods to give Loma some troubles, as the ESPN commentators pointed out during the Campbell fight, Loma couldnt use all those creative angles he usually does vs orthodox fighters, and while Loma was dominant in victory he was open for counters especially from the southpaw left hand, and as we know, Davis has a very powerful left hand, sure Campbell used his reach and height pretty well, something that Davis doesnt have but Loma did look like he struggled against the fellow southpaw @ times, so Davis vs Loma is a real intriguing matchup imo
toney is a cowardly bum who robbed mccallum
I personally felt Toney won the fight, it was a real close fight tho, and McCallum is one of my favorite boxers
I remember it was a hell of a fight.If I remember correctly the second fight was not as good.
Yeah, this is what Toney and McCallum had to say about eachother:
McCallum on Toney:
"He wasn’t a complete fighter the first time we fought, and I still believe I won that fight. But he learned in that fight and he got better. He grew with each fight. By our third fight, he was a different fighter, a complete fighter. He was someone who could do it all, fight inside or outside, work offense and defense at the same time, just like me when I was younger. I like to think that I helped James mature as a fighter."
Toney on McCallum:
"That’s an easy choice, right off the top of my head it’s the Body Snatcher. He was the best fighter I fought at middleweight, super middleweight and cruiserweight. Out of all the fighters I fought, I respect him the most because he made me think about everything I tried to do. Before McCallum I was just runnin’ in on everyone, but he made me slow down and think for the first time."
- -Poor boy still embarrassed how Roy utterly clowned him.
Funniest dressing down ever witnessed!
Oh, the shame...
Yeah, Toney said this about Jones:
" Roy Jones — He was fast. I’ll give him that, but that’s all I’ll give him. I would have knocked him out if I wasn’t drained from losing 44 pounds in six weeks. I went in (that fight) like a fool and wasn’t properly prepared."
does sound kinda salty doesnt it? (:
If Ramirez is any good then he should run thru Hooker with ease, Hooker is garbage, the only thing he got going for him is his height and reach
After seeing his perfomances vs Flanagan and Perez i can safely say that this dude gots to go, i dont like to hate on fighters but Hooker is not world champion material
