The Rid**** Bowe vs. Billy Zumbrun thread

The crowd is chanting BULL****! BULL****!

Come on guys, this is basic cable - it'll be bleeped on the replay

Bowe won.
I think he should have stayed retired.
He is not even a contender at this point.
I dont wanna know what will happen when he fights anybody from top ten. Dont want any tragedies in the ring.

Decision was bull****, cant really argue that. By the way, how how the Ward fight went?

[Slipx]

all Bowe did was work the jab, he doesn't even have what it takes to land a one-two anymore on a guy that isn't even an elite fighter

zumbrun did okay, at least now he has something to be proud of at his bad kid camp or whatever the **** he does for a living...I'm sure all the bad kids that went to his camp watched the fight, and realize how it was an upset, Zumbrun should've won that decision,

I think Bowe landed more punches, but the jabs Bowe landed weren't *******, tapia jabs, they were soft, soft, soft jabs, and the only stiffness was felt if Zumb was coming in and took one, and he only did that like three times. he didn't even have enough coordination to land that followup right hand

I judge fights on who I think lost the most brain cells in the bout. and clearly, bowe took the larger amount of flush power shots, and was the only one in the bout who was really dazed, at the end of the fifth on the ropes bowe was dazed

the body shot that zumb took a knee on and that point deduction did it, I suppose

ps- the punch Bowe threw to the body was perfect, and the reason Zumb took a knee was because he had just thrown his own power shot and exhaled with the punch, and Bowe hit him right after that, as he was inhaling. ever been hit in the stomach while you are inhaling? it's not fun, it's the kinda pain that makes normal people think '**** this i quit'

Toney: Bowe needs to go baCk to the institution

Salley: Rid**** Bowe lost this fight

WARD fought a guy who wanted to wrestle, hit on breaks, taunt, but not much else. Ward won by 3rd round DQ. The other guy lost every round and was penalized 2 points for hitting on break and pushing Ward down.

Thanks for the info, neils

From what I heard Bowe almost got knocked out by Zumbrun, Bowe is finished.

Did anyone else think this fight was going to be stopped when Zumbrun was teeing off on Bowe in the corner? Bowe must have taken 4-5 clean shots, but not only did the ref not stop the fight, he didn't make a knockdown ruling on the ropes keeping Bowe up (which I think for sure they were)...the difference in the fight.

However, the counterpoint to that argument is that thanks to the ref not stopping the fight, Bowe regrouped and managed to jab his was to winning a few late rounds. That proved in a way that it was the right decision not to stop the fight.

However, if Bowe was hitting Zumbrun like that, there is NO WAY the ref doesn't stop the fight...

I agree the ref would have stopped it if Zumbrun was the one getting beaten up. Bowe is the star so unless his eye ball was completley hanging out of his head the wern't stopping it.
