    I can't believe my thread got taken down about that.

    NE was defending that statement to death.

    I also don't know how he can say Europeans are lacking conditioning in the same breath as mentioning Carl Froch. without a trace of irony.

    The same Froch who had Ward blowing in the last two rounds of their fight.

      Also, Froch has a better resume than Ward.

        styles make fights. floyd had just spend 10.5 rounds on the ropes against chino maidana, and was looking his age. prior to that, he had ended up on the ropes against cotto. it was possible that cotto's jab and boxing skill put floyd on the ropes, but maidana doesn't have any of that. floyd was on the ropes against madiana in the first fight because he had no choice.

        he, umm, powered up for the rematch, and his legs looked superb.


        go watch the first maidana fight. i know you guys don't have HD TV and sh#T, so look for an american feed. then watch the malignaggi fight. i understand that malignaggi and floyd are very different stylists, even if they are boxers first, but there are two important places to focus on. one; floyd was on the ropes against maidana, and porter has much, much better footspeed. two; porter kept his hands free on the inside against paulie, and hit him hard enough to knock a solid chinned fighter completely unconscious.




        what you're doing is called a "red herring" anyway. it's just a distration from the important aspects of the discussion; that carl froch and mikkell kessler couldn't hold andre ward's luggage.

          Red herring? You've come in here doing your lame tired "USA ANDRE WARD *** YEAH" schtick in a thread about Darren Barker saying Kessler is a hard puncher.

            Element Electronics are literally the only american brand that makes TVs

            That's just another of the gazillion things Europe crap all over America in regards to.

            Don't get me started on the rest.

              ward 100% won the last round. you score pot shots. they may not be the most entertaining thing to watch, but you score them. he also had a bum right hsoulder, and two broken bones i his left hand


              you were listening to euro commentary on a feed with definition quality from 1995.

                He moves well on his feet, good headmovement and throws all the punces in the book. I remember when Antonio Tarver was a showtime analyst and he was giving Kessler his dues for NOT being a stiff european.

                Also, no inside game? dfq. Maybe he doesn't defend well from 100 clinches in 10 rounds or 5-6 intentional headbutts, but actual inside fighting - he has certain things that he does very well.

                You can see how he used the uppercut to perfection vs Calzaghe.

                Dont take the guy seriously. He really isn't very clever.

                  "In 2014 BoxNation made the partial switch to high definition exclusively on the Sky platform broadcasting from 3 February on channel 449. The channel moved to 490 on 12 March 2014. However, the HD channel is only on air for live fights and viewers need to use the standard channel to watch 'usual' programming."

                    You should probably concentrate less on getting the latest HD TVs when you should be focused more on buying a treadmill

                    Skiing down a small hill isn't going to help you lose that blubber gut.

                      Luggage? Nobody carries Andre Ward's luggage. He never travels.
