Great for Boxing. They have a history in being great supporters of combat sports. Check out the MMA boom back in 2002-2005 in PRIDEFC which only went a few due to the Yakuza in 2007.
Offensively he is not as good. He is slower too. Though his defense has improved and mentally I bet he has improved as well, knowing the game more and all. He actually seems to hit harder now, some of the shots he threw in the Guerrero fight looked SHARP but thats probably due to him throwing one punch at a time hence more power in each shot
50 ****ed him over. Same **** with Dirrell. Waste of talent. Dirrell had the style to give anyone fits at 168/175, probably the best guy to fight Andre Ward. What a waste.
silva is being a d!ck for no reason. floyd said he knew his name but didnt know anything about him, why would he if he doesnt watch mma? more importantly why would anderson try to clown floyd when he just got knocked out by a novice fighter himself? he is in no position.
I just don't get how he cannot know who Anderson Silva is, who has been P4P the best fighter in the UFC so many years. Does he live in a bubble? I don't buy it, especially with how he reacts every time Silva is mentioned. He gets defensive, its just not a normal reaction.
Hasn't fought too often and taken much damage so that can only be good for his longevity but that brings about rustiness. I think he's in his prime or at the tail-end, I didn't see him slip at all in his last fight. This fight is basically can Haye land that bomb or is Fury going to be able to get away with jabbing, holding and just making it ugly for Haye. Haye does not throw enough due to his style/stamina issues, so maybe Fury is going to be fighting accordingly.
You mofos need to get off Matthyses dick. He's a good fighter, I want to see him succeed and do well in Boxing. Especially against the Garcia camp but he isn't beating no Prime Cotto. Cotto convincingly beat a way better Judah. He was beating quality opponents. Malignaggi back in 2006 was a VERY good fighter. This is 2013, he is still good but age gets us all. Mosley was fighting great at that time and Cotto beat him.
Matthyse does not have the boxing skills of Cotto. That's really what seperates them. I'd even say basic-ass Garcia has more skills than Matthyse. Matthyse has some hellacious power though.
wants to sign to tmt.....
but floyd wants a formal apology first.
Lol, TMT is going to sink once Floyd retires. GBP have to put TMT fighters on their cards when Floyd fights.
Hes put on pounds AND the guy has freakishly broad shoulders for someone his weight/size. It's just the way both are standing and how the picture was taken (angles). Broner is a short guy on average, Ward is 6ft.
That being said, Broner has looked bigger recently but I think thats attributed to him partying hard (he has to make 147/140 now instead of 130). He looked very muscular against Paulie, dude looks so stiff though you will never see him get the kind of KO's say a RJJ got. He isn't built that way, his style is suited to his body type.
He needs a proper trainer. Or bring in someone to help with the strategy in the last 3-4 weeks of camp. I think everyone knows he's not going to be the next Calzaghe but hes a good fighter, just not the best. He took a tough fight and he paid for it. At least he had the balls to step it up.
I just started watching it and he's already saying that he was bound to lose, it was just about when, not a good mentality or maybe hes just making excuses to soften the blow of the loss.
Only because they haven't fought many fights in their career as a pro. Rigo has had loads of Amateur fights but I doubt hes taken much punishment with his style.
winner of khan vs. alexander
Khan said he isn't going to fight him unless he has some legit wins vs some names. He said until that happens it's not worth it because the fight has the potential to be huge in the UK if Brook raises his profile a bit.
What time will the main event undercard begin roughly? UK TIME.
Also will be sharing out links once I find out the answer to the question above. Just hit me up with PMs
I think he used to conserve energy since his stamina wasn't the best. Just neutralise the opponent and catch your breath a bit and go back to bobing and weaving.
Dude, 3 fights in 10 months alot? Hopkins is in excellent shape (bar the injury ofc) and in the old days people would fight 3 times in a month. It's a high amount for this day and age but after beating Dawson convincingly IMO he should retire.
Lampleys voice is iconic imo and HBOs presentation is better too. I like the HBO team personally but I also like Showtime as well, they have a different vibe and energy which I dig too. Honestly I think Paulie is GREAT as a commentator, does a top job. I prefer HBO a bit more but Showtime has definitely stepped up their game starting from 2011, gotta admit. Boxing commentary is still much better than MMA commentary too. The UFC has Goldberg who is AWFUL, Florian and Anik as a duo are bland as ****, The Voice Michael Schiavello just goes over the top and has some of the most ridiculous, silly sayings. I like Joe Rogan, he has a lot of knowledge about the MMA game, gives good insight and while he can be a little unprofessional at times (more so the past few years probably due to how much he does his podcast and its got him getting too comfortable and the fact he is high) he is still solid.
Being a postaxial polydactyly is fairly common and doesn't make you a mutant or a freak, 1 in 2000 people have at least one extra digit on either their feet or hands.
It's not a serious problem, like being a ginger or anything.
hahahahaha
