Tonight showed me this era is full of Rocky fans

I liked the fight, im more of a technical boxing fan and enjoy that aspect of the game more but this was a god arse fight. Joshuah needs work yes but he did his thing and showed heart. I like all styles of boxing, these kind of fights are good for the sport as well

[uppercut510]

This right here.

What I thought watching the fight is this is why I always liked heavyweight boxing which is not quite the same as boxing in the lower divisions. It is what I really got into watching in the early 90's when I was a young lad and pulled me further in with like Ibaebuchi-Tua.

Over the decades I have picked up a taste for smaller fighters because heavy has been disappointing, but nothing beats the big guys when then put on a show and last night they put on a real show.

good post!!!

If you wanna watch running go watch track and field.

Just watch floyd fight and you will see alot if running.

It was a great fight, period. It was great because of the recoveries by both fighters, you rarely see that.

But the Op has a point. Vlad is pretty shot and AJ has a lot of holes in his game. Still, that was very exciting to watch.

And I think there's always been a segment of boxing fans that want rock em sock em robots. You can see the factions in Ali-Frazier, many Frazier fans hated Ali because he boxed and didn't just stand there and trade. I think MMA has made this faction that wants slug fests more visible. MMA fans are used to seeing guys who don't know how to slip a punch getting their skulls rattled by looping shots. That just doesn't happen often in boxing.

Larry you a good dad to your kids and I respect you for that.

But shut the *** up with all this "skills" "rock em sock em robots" ****. Boxing consist of many different styles. If you a true fan you appreciate all styles and applauded the flawed fighters who put more heart, effort, and desire into boxing. Than some wannabe skilled guy who has ego and don't give a *** about anything but money.

Now stfu.

and FFS this is HW. those punches would have put any man in the world on his butt. the jabs alone will get you reeling late in the fight when you're tired. you're not going to be able to show as much "skill" when you're 240 lbs and exhausted from fighting another huge dude.


that was a great fight. larry's just bitter about some of the gripes with floyd mayweather's career. mainly that he never fought prime greats, and that most of his fights weren't all that exciting.

There's always gotta be that one small group of fans that's too cool for a great fight. This was not a "rock em sock em" robots fight. There was a lot of technique and skill on display and it was an incredible fight to watch. Get over yourself

His undertone for everything that he posts points back to Floyd. It's ridiculous

The fight was amazing. I never thought I'd rewatch a Wlad fight ever, but I did. I was quite impressed with his display of skills and determination. Wlad was something else against Joshua.

Kudos to both fighters.
