Comments Thread For: Ugly Mismatches Going In, But Coming Out…

[bojangles1987]

Buster wasn't even a bad or unknown fighter. Tyson's image was just so artificially inflated that NOBODY was supposed to beat him.

I don't see why people are still calling stay-busy/squash matches potential Buster Douglas moments...

If Doppoapbehs beat Wilder it would be a guy nobody's heard of beating a guy a few people have heard of. A lil different.

Sorry to nitpick, article is otherwise good

Yeah, by pretty much all accounts I've ever heard, Douglas was a good fighter but was lazy and lacked dedication.

I don't know Duhaupas, and haven't said much about the fight besides it being a disappointment that Wilder didn't go for someone higher ranked. I'm not writing him completely off because Wilder isn't that good and I don't know enough.

Kirkland was supposed to give Canelo a tougher fight as he was always dubbed as the southpaw Mike Tyson.

Never quote Max Kellerman, he's the only one I recall referring to Kirkland as the southpaw Tyson. Not saying Kellerman dksab, but he's only an expert when it comes to slick black fighters. Those are the type of fighters Max gets wet for.

Cliff Rold don't watch it don't support it. Your loss. When it is time to speak up you shrink. Ugly Journalism.

Im curious to know why these articles only pop up when it comes to certain fighters. What was James Kirkland ranking when he fought Canelo? Did y'all write an article about that? That fight was hyped around here.

he didn't write nothing about that one, or roman gonzalez vs sosa and a bunch of other fights, roman gonzalez is fighting gallo estrada's leftovers and he's doing it on PPV, gallo estrada has beaten the best flyweights with ease, beat viloria when viloria was the champ, beat segura after a few good wins, melindo and now tyson is next yet he gets these kind of articles criticizing and underappreciating his "competitive loss" to chocolatito, that fight was more than a competitive loss it could've gone either way and he was making roman look foolish at times in there

Could be a dud or could be the greatest fight ever. I try not to predict the future cause it will ruin my fight buildup and fight night excitement. Actually for any sporting event i do that.

Whats the point of following sports if all you are gonna do is say how much it sucks.

When you think of mismatches you think of Haymon/PBC.

..and Gennady Golovkin.

I'd rather not speak of the Wilder fight because everyone seems to agree how much of a. Mismatch it really is.

Moving on to the Eatrada vs Marquez fight. It's no surprise Estrada being my favorite fighter, but his opposition as of late has been underwhelming, that's including Marquez. Like you stated, Marquez has accomplished nothing in years, has not fought at 112 for some time and has lost by KO several times since his Viloria loss. How he managed to land a title shot is beyond me at this point, however, the fact that he seems to be completely shot to pieces is what tops off the mediocrity scale.

Estrada seems to acknowledge this himself and has stated in in the press conference that this fight won't go beyond 8 rounds, and that while Marquez is steaming down career wise and coming to a closing, his is rising and has many years to grow ahead of him. I agree with Estrada, I just really hope Marquez puts up a strong effort and atleast blesses us with one more war before he drops into the abyss of obscurity and fighting at the local palenques for tortilla money.

Imagine if Tysonito manages to score a KO and becomes a unified champion at this stage of his career, the 112 landscape would be a true sideshow at that point lol.

Yeah, it's not like his mexican promoters can't get him any good guys, he should fight guys like Casimero or Moises Fuentes, not that pinoy bum he fought last time.

Hopefully Gonzalez shines vs Viloria so HBO can get on board and get the rematch done.
