Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: Crawford-Khan, Pacquiao, Maidana, More

Minus all the bs clinching and excessive holding Devon got away with, Maidana lost to Alexander because his body had not adjusted to 147 lbs yet, he was looking flabby around the midsection.

During the post fight interview, Maidana said that 147 wasn't for him and that he was considering moving back down to 140.

Good sht as always and pay attention casual fans TRAINERS do matter.

like he said Maidana with Garcia was a MONSTER!!

[Shadoww702]

Uzi was undisciplined and overconfident. Too eager, coming in with no jab... and although he was knocked down twice and lost the fight, Plant was the one looking like he got beat up... Uzi would win a rematch. But he won't get it... And Plant will lose his next fight against any well prepared live opponent.

His corner was also TERRIBLE

Bread on the Ward/Kovalev stoppage:

"Technically if the ropes are holding a fighter up from a punch then it’s a knockdown so I assume Weeks could have ruled it a knockdown. In the Leonard vs Hearns fight the referee ruled it a knockdown when Hearns was laying in the ropes in a similar fashion. Watch the 13th and 14th round of that fight.

But here is the thing. What should have happened depends on if you think the blows were low or not. If Weeks thought the blows were legal then he has a valid reason to stop the fight. If he doesn’t think the blows were legal then he made a bad call."

I strongly disagree with the bolded. Kovalev wasn't unconscious or writhing in agony. He was sitting on the middle rope, looking at Weeks.

If Weeks thought those blows were legal he should have given Kovalev a count. If Kovalev stays down, or gets up but won't fight on went told to, them wave him out.

There was no valid reason for waving it off immediately, without even starting a count.

Nah bra we've seen this scenario many times. Fighter isn't defending himself anymore, is lying against the ropes and getting the stuffing beat out of him. He looks at the ref and the ref stops the fight.

If Weeks didn't think the blows were low, then to him it would have looked like Kovalev was getting his ass beat and was quitting.

great read !

yep, Marquez was a phenom...... not only one of the best counter-punchers I have ever seen, also one of the best combination punchers I have ever seen

I thought he beat Norwood, and he beat Chris John

he only has two definitive losses, everything else could have gone either way

[aboutfkntime]

The entire mailbag has become Breadman kissing the asses of contemporary American stars. "Floyd is better than Pacquiao. Ward is better than Kovalev. Crawford would beat everyone. Some of Ward's punches appeared to be low in the Kovalev rematch, but I couldn't tell because the replays were from such bad angles." Yeah and why do you think HBO hid the clear replays from us a$$hole? They did the show the one good one, of only one of the final three punches, though, and it was clearly low. It didn't "appear" low it was clear.

And when he's not pushing this bull****, he's busy kissing Canelo and Wilder's a$$es. That's his whole mailbag now, just praising the biggest moneymakers in America over and over again, promoting the cash cows or future cash cows one mailbag at a time. Does Breadman at least get a cut? Hopefully when JRoc beats Hurd, it will thrust Breadman back into the training spotlight, and he can focus more on that, instead of pushing 90% of the same agenda in his mailbags that the "LDBC" pushes on youtube, just with a respectful, intelligent spin the agenda, just enough intelligence to blind oneself from their own biases, it would seem......

speaking of biases.....

ALL of your guys LOST !!

Pacquiao, Kovalev, Golovkin.....

ALL of them

just saying

Kovalev turned his back on his opponent TWICE !!

that is absolutely grounds for stoppage

one time when Kovalev turned his back, Ward stopped punching
