All very good points. There is a very real question of where to draw that line, especially when the scenario is less clearcut than rising star - aging journeyman target practice (even though as it played out this ended up closer to that then it may have seemed on paper). When you factor in the idea of cumulative damage even with shots that don't *appear* that devastating, there probably is a decent argument for corner retirement tonight.

SHlT was hilarious.. Bradley's like "When have I ever took a beating like this Dre?"
Ward wanted to say, that time when Provodnikov was beating your azz around the ring like you stole sum LOL
Poor Bradley probably has no recollection of that fight. It was so bad that it took Tim years to get rid of that punch drunk slur to when he finally sounded normal again when he spoke. Like his brain needed to heal from trauma sustained. It's part of the reason he retired at 33.Comment

For all the skills Shakur has the boy just ain't got much pop lol, and in all seriousness there IS something to be said about that if they gonna be out here promoting this kid as the next Floyd, when what I see is clearly a kid that in all likely hood wouldn't fare too well anywhere north of 135lbs and would probably be the underdog vs any of the top guys at 135 but I notice how he's not really pressing for any of those guys in the immediate future either, which is smart.
But Shakur gonna need to address his power issues in fights, either through more physical training to get a physically strong as possible or learning to sell out a bit when he fights instead of always taking the play it safe boring route which tonight was a prime example if he sold out a bit he would've stopped Clary and it would've been a good look u can play it safe once u build upComment

You must not fook with RBR threads usually or something. If there is a boring ass fight alerting folks to a exciting ass MMA fight happens all the time in these threads bruh. Or sh^t sometimes when there is just a big MMA fight it gets mentioned right along with the boxing match by those that dig MMA.
If this fight wasn't trash & uncompetitive I'd not said anything about it to be clear. I was watching both shows for hours. Notice how I didn't say anything about it til we had a boring ass fight doe?
Also quit being a boxing snob man.
I turn on ESPN and look at a few sites and ALL talking about an EPIC fight at UFC 256.Comment
