How Lara would fight n rigo, that isn't the"sweet science", it's a disgusting display. John Molina vs Mickey bey, now that is sweet science; a presumably overmatched foe, brought in to make someone look good, while they pretend to the second coming of Ali.
even today it's still one of the most satisfying to watchLast edited by Slip jab; 05-25-2022, 10:36 AM.

I can't understand some of the ignorant things fighters say. But, Spike is only two years younger, so given his lack of skill and closeness in age it may be more competitive. Ten years ago he gets sparked by Lara. Probably gets sparked now as well.

O Sullivans 4 defeats.... Lemiuex BJS Munguia and Eubank Jr - not terrible. His W column isn't massively impressive but neither is Lara's since 2017. Laras punch resistance is right up there though so it's a hard nights work for Spike but I wish him well.

“Timing is everything. Just ask Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan, who admits that getting a shot at Lara maybe ten years ago wouldn’t have worked out too well for him.”
These famous words were also uttered by Freddie Roach when he was asked about a Manny-Floyd fight in 2009. He later said Floyd was on the decline and wasn’t as mobile as he used to be so it was the “best time for Manny to fight him”.
The same words were spoken by Amir Khan when he was begging for a fight with Floyd. His words verbatim were “Floyd doesn’t use his legs anymore, he’s aged so this is the best time to fight him”.
Any human being with basic common sense and intellect will tell you, those words are admission of fear and acknowledging that they would have lost. More important, those words mean one is looking to fight someone who is older, slower and maybe weaker.
It’s just the reality of the fight world.

This curley q mother ****er tried this tough talk before lemieux kicked his ass. He flat out looks silly. I wonder if he fights with his fists backwards like Tom cruise.
