I get the point. I don't know what is has to do with parenting skills.

I have a daughter, I think my wife would be pissed if I had a video online of me making it rain in a strip club. SHe'd divorce me and take my kids if I got a hooker pregnant. see the difference.

My guess is Mrs. Maya**** does the same. lol!!!

Parenting skills-lol

Yeah, she'll leave me right after she kills me doing that shit lol.

Even if you're right about Manny, that wasn't the point of my list. But I'm not gonna keep talking about it since I obvioulsy derailed this thread already. Sorry OP.

Floyd is right...that was some unprofessional ass advice from a normally top notch classy dude...I'm not saying Chino's tactics were wrong, it's just the way Garcia encouraged the dirty stuff....he could've been more discreet imo...Chino has no other choice but to fight dirty against a ATG like Floyd....he did what he had to do and major props to Floyd for staying composed and fighting through all the fouls without ever taking a break

anytime a so called boxing fan encourages dirty fighting (purposley rabbit punching, intentional low blows, tackling, etc) on a particular fighter but will cry and go crazy day n and day out if its done to their fav boxer then you know its deeper than a boxing fan just commenting...

dirty boxing is a part of the sport and is learned in many gyms but trying to cheat is a different ball game... here we have fighter A called a coward for the glove issue and the dirtiest boxer to ever fight for using some dirty boxing techniques in certain situations which are technically a part of boxing which many of the greats used...

but on the other hand you have fighter B praised for intentional fouls, low blows, tackling and his trainer praised for encouraging it??? why???, on top of this all im with you all on the glove issue let the man wear the approved gloves but why is nobody bringing up the blue gloves (no padding) as if this has nothing to do with the whole situation?

watch how this comment is turned into me praising floyd for fighting dirty while bashing maidana...

i dont recall anyone "praising" maidana for being dirty. i believe everyone is saying why is the floyd fans complaining about that when floyd uses his arms and elbows too. and the blue gloves, wasnt it delivered by a everlast rep?

i think u guys are looking too much into what robert said and i dont even like robert. i dont believe robert meant for chino to go out there and be dirty as in low blows, etc. what he meant was for chino to make it a dirty fight as in turn it into a brawl, pressure floyd get up on him, dont give him any space etc.

Exactly. I actually love that subtle art. A crafty fighter knows how to be dirty.

Floyd is Ric Flair!!!

You have a point...that COULD be what he meant...like I said, Robert is usually a classy dude

This is exactly right, IMO. He wasn't being literal. He was just trying to hype his fighter up. Everyone turned it into a big deal. And then everyone complained after the fight ended up being physical.

DO NSB a favor -in the future, when topics come up, remember that not everything you hear is the person being literal. I'm sure if you can understand what Garcia meant then you can do this in other situation.

Thanks!

mayweather doesn't throw elbows, people tend to run with anything negatively said about mayweather regardless of how true it is. Also, pushing off with the forearm isn't anything new, chavez sr. Did it a lot. I'm actually an advocate for dirty fighting, as long as it's subtle; not excessive and one is slick about it, maidana was neither of those and was never heavily warned or deducted a point. In the the first round alone, 3 rabbit punches and then a low blow he actually loaded up with. Even when he tackled mayweather he swung right after that, from that to even biting which many failed to catch.

I get it, mayweather isn't the cleanest but it takes serious hate or dick riding to paint this picture that both were equally as dirty/ or both were dirty so who cares.

good post but instead of us loving the sport this will be taken as nuthugging a particular boxer
