      Yeah. User toppa72... hit me up sometime. I usually do 10 min blitz games but whatever your preference. Ranking around 1400-1500 mostly.

      My biggest handicap is getting 20 damn mins free without one of the kids or Missus K wanting my attention for something.. least, that's my excuse.

      I think there's a few other dudes on here use it as well... I know Cu****uy does but he's a bit higher ranked. I was giving some thought to a 'Scene chess league run via Chess.com but ain't actually got round to it.

        Wladimir lost because Eddie's ref let AJ have several 30 second tea breaks throughout the fight whenever he gassed or got hurt.

        Still amazed how tape comes off AJ gloves right when he needs a break. In every fight.

          Joshua fought a compromised version of Klitschko. Fury proved that a fight prior when Klitschko looked old shot and couldn’t throw a punch against him.

              I think Wlad let his hands go as much as he could after decking Joshua , he was winging big shots but they were mostly just missing the target. Wlad was old and more worried about punching himself out.

                  "I advised GGG not to rush anything with Canelo. I figured, and Loeffler did as well...oh and Eddie Hearn... that we could all milk out GGG and make money for ourselves. Besides, GGG’s been gullible throughout the years on whom he should be fighting (with the help of HBO) that he basically doesn’t think twice when we pitch a trajectory that benefits us all to make money. With Szeremeta I can make my fee and we can continue fighting until GGG’s ends his contract. Should we have lost to Canelo by let’s say KO, then I’d probably be blamed for it all and been sacked. Perhaps GGG’s multideal would be damaged as well should Gennadiy get seriously injured. I need to make my cut at all costs anyways so we do what I say...no actually it’s Hearn and Loeffler whom do the matchmaking.” - Banks
                  What does the second paragraph here have to do with anything ?? Also it doesnt sound like a real quote from banks ....where is a link to this quote ?? And what Is the relevance ??

                    Yeah, that part! I think your assessment is more accurate, but his Brother could've had some influence too.

                      That's why you should only have one voice in the corner.
                      Agreed, I mean what is he paying banks for if hes not gonna take his advice ?? And let's be real steward was the best thing that ever happened to wlads career , and I would bet the house he would have told wlad to finish the job asap .
