I was MUCH less impressed than Lamps, Max and the ****

[Azteca]

You attending the DLH - Trinidad fight...heh.

Two things. Money today has actually made a Trinidad - DLH bout a "superfight". Robinson - Gavilan was not even considered a "superfight" and it featured FAR superior fighters.

This is where the money (greed) has affected the sport today. Oscar and Felix actually can command a $50 pricetag. What actually was worse though (honestly)? The decision (I had it a draw so obviously I don't think so) or the fact that the fight absolutely ****** ASS?

Same thing with Lewis Holyfield I (Clear decision for Lennox IMO). HORRIBLE fight.

Throw in a bad decision and folks are going to ***** for forever about it.

But now I see you bitching about a great fight.

You sure as hell are not a fan of the sport.

When was that again?? By becoming emotional and complaining that Dios understands the business dynamics.

Oh yeah. That.

Let's hear it DIOS. I'm waiting.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Yeah. I could give a **** ass about what he names his dog.

He bitches about a fight where the fight prospers.

Am I missing something here?

Yeah. You are missing that nobody "bitched" about the fight. NOBODY. Other than that simple fact, nothing.

Teca, what's the last big fight you attended?

Check PM Dios.

What does it matter???

Reply to my post, big shot. Or do you have no reply and just want to dodge the questions??

[Wiley Hyena]

You'd like to believe that.

In truth, Teca, I'd put my education/job/income/physique up vs. yours. Just for grins. Ya know? I doubt you'd stack up.

I may not be the most rabid fan based on your definitions. I don't spring wood because some Brit (or some Yank, even) packed a stadium.

What the hell??? Dios, you're tired and you're pissed because you were wrong and everybody knows it. Why compound it with this personal bull****? Go to bed, dude, your ass is exposed to the whole world in a very bad way. You don't lose credibility by losing an argument. You lose credibility in being a bad sport. And, you are being an incredibly bad sport tonight.

And by the way, self-aggrandizing is the mark of an insecure person. How could someone who evidently has everything going like you do be so insecure? Think about this before you turn out the light.

Robinson-gavilan was a different era. There's no Armstrong, or pep, or Ketchel. You have Oscar and Floyd and pacquiao.

This is the 21st century. The internet. X-games. The first baby boomers are hitting retirement age.

Why do people try to impose the values of another era on a completely different time?

Boxing is what it is. I deal with that.

As a FIGHT. DLH-Tito ****** ass. Except that my guy won. As an EVENT, it was off the ****ing meatrack.

The commercialization of sports has changed everything. There are six ****in' ESPN channels. You can embrace the modern state of things and work within that, or you can (with futility) try to buck the system and become (even more) bitter. The SuperBowl is more about corporate sponsorships than it is about the game. It is what it is.


If boxing is on an upswing, you need to ask yourself if the FMJ's of the world have contributed to that.. or have been a growth limiter.

Funny that you say that. I feel the same way about personal insults. So I just wanted to call his bluff. Some JuCo guy is calling people "loser" every post. Comical.

Note to Wiley: You ALSO issue alot of personal insults on here. Introspection suggested.

Doesn't it concern you that we're 7 YEARS into this decade & not one new real star has been developed? And hey you say wait & see in 10 years. I say boxing will be lucky to be on American TV in 3 years.

post 276....

[MaYaN_SuN]

Yeah, they were really all over this fight like it was somthin great.


But Kessler dissapointed me, he's way weaker then i thought he was, and Joe didn't do anything that spectacular but throw those limp shots really fast. But the thing that shocked me, was how weak Kessler was. He's built like a tank, but I saw him get discouraged like around the 3rd or 4th round. And he would'nt, WOULD NOT lower his right or his jab when Joe would drop his head and dive in for a limp jab. I thought that was weak as hell that he couldn't pick up on that, especially because of how much stronger he was then joe.
