    Freddie Roach loves predicting early KOs in every one of his fighter's fights...Its kind of funny. I love how he showed no respect to Algieri when Bob was telling everyone how great Algieri was to hype the fight. Roach was like, "nah, first round ko."

    Golovkin does the opposite...In his last few fights he has said "this one maybe decision fight" and then proceeds to knock the guy the f**k out.

      Tony Bellew the muppet, I'm glad Stevenson iced him. P.S do you like my new signature?

          Floyd used to say he was willing to die in the ring, only to pot shot and fight cautious. I remember he said before the oscar fight he was going to deliver action and fire works and beat oscar up, he turned it into one of the most boring sparring matches, his own father said oscar won.

          Keith Thurman said ko,s for life, and he didn't care for his oh. But sadly his unbeaten record has gone to his head and he fights like he is scared to lose, and is playing it more safe now. That bundu fight put me to sleep.

            Outboxing someone and actually beating them up are 2 different things. The last person I've seen Floyd actually "beat up" is Arturo Gatti. Hatton is a close 2nd. Ortiz was KO'd via a cheap shot. The others were just outboxed.
            what habit? he said it once, before the cotto fight. perhaps at some other point but i really doubt it, even so twice in 47 fights is hardly a habit.

            last person he beat up is gatti? are you serious? first of all he didnt beat gatti up, he annihilated gatti, he wrecked him. if thats the standard for beating someone up then nobody hardly ever gets beat up in this sport.

            since gatti he beat up not only hatton but mitchell, judah, corley and arguably cotto, jmm and mosley as well.

            ortiz wasnt a cheap shot at all. ortiz already hugged him, kissed him and touched gloves. then the ref tells them to fight, they hug again and then go back to fighting. how long a break do you want? how many times should ortiz be allowed to hug and kiss to get his **** together? floyd did nothing wrong.

              who is to say floyd isnt willing to die in the ring? just because he takes the safe route when he is able to win doing so doesnt mean he wont die in the ring if thats necessary in order to win. when he folds or accepts defeat without giving his all you can say he isnt willing to die, as of now it merely remains to be seen.

              thurman just showed he can box when necessary, thats what separates a world fighter from merely a world class puncher. doesnt mean he cant carry the KOs for life moniker, sometimes the best way to get a KO is backing up, counter punching, boxing etc. even so you cant get the KO every single time, thurman has every right to say KOs for life, he is a killer, he is just a killer with a brain. the provodnikov approach wont get you more KOs just more losses.

              the thing about not being scared to give up his 0 was about fighting the best and you cant say he hasnt tried to do so.

                  I did think of Roach and I guess he can sort of count being a former fighter.
                  He's predicted a KO for every single Pacquiao fight he's been part of and it hasn't happened since the Cotto fight, lol.

                    Bellew hahaha, he's a cunt no doubt, Recently Queen Thurman has been promising KO's but not delivering and we are to see how BombSquad reacts facing another live body.
