Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Vergil Ortiz vs. Boots Ennis, Benavidez vs. Morrell, memories of Emanuel Steward and the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fall-out

Breadman has to be one of the fewest that saw KT beating Amanda. Serrano got mugged that night. Also can't hide his favoritism towards Boots lol. I think Ortiz Jr has the same chances to win the fight. Its a coin toss really.

For rounds 13-15 Henry did a lot of 'shoe shining'

I find it genuinely offensive that you think of a religion as a swear. How can it be offensive to post that Barney Ross wasn't a gentile?

I liked his comments on 'going easy'. I saw the horrific beating Holmes laid on Ali. In no way did Holmes 'carry' Ali. Likewise, Jake Paul did not 'carry' Tyson. Paul knew Tyson had virtually no movement but still brought power so he boxed him. Sensible, but, emphatically, not compassionate.
The only example I ever heard in a top level fight was Henry Armstrong v Barney Ross. After about R12 Armstrong's people (I've heard it said) sent round to Ross's corner & said 'fercrissakes pull your boy out or Henry is going to kill him'. Leaving aside any moral qualms it definitely wouldn't be good to be a black boxer that killed a white boxer in MSG. Ross's people came back & said 'we've been begging him to pull out since R10. He just won't. He has sold thousands of tickets to the whole ***ish community. He'd rather die than quit'. Armstrong went out in R13, clinched & said to Ross 'work with me, we'll get through these next 9 minutes'. True story.

Stopped reading after you said this. That's just a blatant lie.

Go rewatch the fight. He even won the one round he got knocked down in. Vergil is the real deal he is just young and gets a little excited sometimes but he’s got the chin and the heart. He’ll come out on top at 154. While boots is waiting around ducking stannaois and begging to fight LW bums like barrios

have u just proven that bread DKSAB?

He knows a lot but is highly biased like all of us. He has his favorite fighters and is blind to their faults just like the rest of us.

Every single person I spoke to thought Serrano won that fight. I mean not one said that Katie Taylor won.
