McClellan's demise was partly because of London Ring Rules...

    I havenmt seen the fight in a long time - but i do find it hard to believe that he managed to do that.(just my opinion)
    I can see one happening if an orthodox fighter throws a left hook, the southpaw opponent, if close enough, could take the blow to the back of the head if he is a sideways fighter like....say James Toney. In theory. But most of the time, fighters have thier heads leaning forward and tuck in to avoid the blow.

            I'm sure you do love it when the British fight... LOL!...

            Was it watching these two members of parliment fight that you learnt the moves to beat up your dwarf nextdoor neighbour? After you heroically clumped him, wasn't he sick? Tough man... LOL!...

            After all, watching British politicians bicker amongst themselves is the best place to learn the Marquis of Queensberry rules.

              I don't love it when Americans fight, especially when they fight as our allies. The Americans sure do have difficulty avoiding firing on their allies (of any nationality).

                Oi, stop nicking my material, Martin!

                I love that one, "Watch me beat up my neighbour. He was two foot six, he wanted a fight, so I ****ed him up like the great Larry Holmes would. I combine all their styles... the footwork of Lennox... the punching style of Marciano... and a neighbour who's a midget."

                I was leaving this prick alone but I just found out he's been insulting me on one of my threads (I've had the twat on ignore for a YEAR but he still replies... someone quoted his little abuse)

                Next: Slipx mentions a certain German boxer for the 5000th time because he has nothing else to say.



                Martin - what's this thread about anyway? Just race hate bull****?



                "Just like the great Larry Holmes."

                  Sorry but i think Gerald Mclelan's demise came from his severe lack of conditioning and his warrior mentality. It was apparent from early on in that fight Mcleland wasnt in condition, thats why he was having "trouble" with the moutpiece he was sucking wind through his mouth and his piece didnt allow air to get in between the teeth as some do.

                  This severe lack of oxygen, coupled with exhaustion, made the punches he took that much more damaging.

                  I believe if Gerald had been in top condition he would have been much more resistant to the punches no matter where they were.

                    "Just like the great Larry Holmes."
                    It's a bull**** thread... It's about how every fight in the UK has a referee who turns a blind eye to the Ricky Hatton's and Nigel Benn's getting away with hitting on the back of the head, elbowing, leading with the head, biting, kicking, and spitting at the other fighters.

                    Apparently this is common knowledge within the boxing circles...

                    Anyway, because we still use the London Prize Ring Rules (which I've just learnt, weren't abolished in 1856) is the reason Gerald McClellan had a stroke after his fight with Nigel Benn.

                      Slipx finds out the identity of his next three opponents:






                      Next: Slipx says something like "Yo, you begged Rick to come back cos I said you did"... 50,000th time.

                      Come on, Slipx, come back with something new. If you can make it a witty retort Martin will let me know and I'll take ignore off.
