That was a great response about advising Julian Williams not to use the jab.

In order to master your craft you have to learn the rules, but eventually you should be able to transcend and know when and how and why to break the rules too.

Is it just me or does Bread come off super salty on the Ellis loss???

Great question. People are just not good with math. Seriously, they say things like the 10-7 round makes it impossible for Ellis to win etc etc. Math! If Ellis wins 7 rounds and get dropped twice, then that means the score is 113-113 a draw!


Ummm a lot of ppl gave Villa rounds 6 and 7. I had it 114-112 Villa

Speaking of Hagler, how about a fantasy fight between Hagler and a prime Roy Jones.

Arguments for both, that Roy would use athleticism to stick and move and get a points win. For Hagler, a point that he would break down Roy to the body and stop him late, or win on points.

Hagler was only at middleweight, and definitely arguably the greatest, or top 2 or 3 at worst.

I find it difficult to imagine any middleweight beating Hagler circa '83/84, not Monzon, not Robinson, especially not old timers like Fitzsimmons, Ketchel, Walker or Greb (who we have no tape on to boot). Granite chin, power in both hands, seamless shifting, excellent work rate paired with great ring IQ; Roy may have been athletic, but athleticism wanes in the face of relentless, educated pressure.

I'll admit, I may be a bit biased though as Hagler is my favorite boxer of all time...
