Round 7 shows how great boxing can be

[Bierstadt]

with that kind of performance and heart, any of you guys looking to see foreman again?

Sadly he doesn't have much of a chance against upper tier guys. If this was a competition of courage he'd blow half of them out of the water, but skills wise he's a limited fighter with a limited future I hate to say.

in my honest opinion, foreman should retire and give up boxing

not because hes bad or anything, but because he has a future in his religion ahead of him

he had his moment to shine, and he shined. he would always be remembered as a "fighter" and a man with a tremendous heart. thats a great way to go out and go on to your future endeavors. i dont see him winning against any of the big name fighters so theres no point in continuing this brutal sport for him, especially since he already has other plans for his future

Round of the Year candidate. Encompasses so much of what is great about boxing. The resilency, sheer guts. I was baked as **** and it was amazing to watch.

Yo Mary J. Love that you can be impartial like that here and there. Green K.

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

yep. boxing is the only sport that can provide that because its tests a persons character/soul

not basketball
not football
not baseball

and ESPECIALLY not MMGAY

Find Uriah Faber/Mike Brown 2 before you say that.

[SUPREME.]

I completely agree with this thread.
This is why boxing is the best sport. Many people thought this was going to be a boring fight and it turned out to be a dramatic fight, with excellent skills by Cotto and tremendous heart by Foreman. With boxing you never know what's going to happen that's why I love it.

It was crazy watching it, I just remember Hopkins putting on those shameful antics against Calzaghe and Roy than I look at Yuri getting up from his busted knee face all bloody ready to fight....he didn't eve take the full 5 minutes, mad props to him

High Drama in Yankee Stadium. Round 7. Another memorable bout on E 161st street.

dont ever disgrace the sport of boxing again by comparing 2 mmgay fighters to it

ive seen that pathetic fight...it was nothing special...whenever the going got tough, they took the easy route out and wrestled...not to mention that none of those guys can throw a proper punch for their lives, so the punches that DO land arent hurting anywhere near as much as a boxers punch

Gained more respect for Yuri, when he had to he went toe to toe instead of quiting. That is not in his game and I have never seen him do that before. Very impressed by both fighters performance that night

Foreman deserves credit for a brave Rocky Balboa-ish performance, but his corner should be reprimanded for their indecisiveness and failure to protect their fighter who was only boxing for pride at that point. If it really was them that threw in the towel then they should've owned up to it to referee and put their foot down and told Yuri, enough is enough. It's great that he showed guts and heart, but he was risking permanent injury to himself but fighting on.

Speaking of towels. You'd think the boxing commission would've come up with an idea that maybe every trainer should be given a special towel with some kind of special insignia or color that distinguishes it from any other towel so when the ref sees a towel land in the ring, he knows right away if its legit or not.
