Boxing Thread

that is the most mind numbingly retarded thing ive ever read
what kind of scrub logic does this dumb fuck run on?

The art of the sweet science is to hit and not get it.

At what point, did it become more about brawling, and standing flat footed in front of your opponent?

I’ll leave it on that note.

yup, i agree… that sh*t is stupid, why gamble your way to a sure victory just to have a moral victory?

Mind explaining how standing toe to toe with someone is a ‘‘moral’’ victory?

If you’re an outboxer the general aim is to not get caught on the outside and pick away at your opponent from the outside. It’s stupid to expect a fighter to go against the grain and fight another guys fight.

It’s boxing not a bar brawl.

it’s confirmed guys!!!

[media=youtube]cZNk77X_Wxw[/media] I really want to see this. HBO “Assualt in the Ring” documentary. I never knew about this fight. I’ve got a lot of boxing history to catch up on.

I haven’t seen any Berto fights so no opinions or predictions :P. I’m looking forward to Williams vs Martinez. It’s too bad Pavlik got so sick and hope he’s doing ok now. Williams by UD.

Unemployment rates…

The unemployment rate is NOT a count of those receiving unemployment benefits…It is based on a Household survey. In fact, historically, most unemployed people are not eligible for U I benefits…

Very botlike of you.

Very sad.

Which is why I’m totally against that piece of shit Margarito even sniffing near an American ring anymore.

Wow. That shit was depressing as hell. Compelling story, though.

Nearly 30 years later he’s still messed up

The Collins family definitely should have gotten some money. I don’t know how the NY State Athletic Commission could say they weren’t negligent. All that shit’s supposed to be checked out before the match to prevent shit like this from happening.

IMO Shane Mosley has this fight which I hope. Berto is a good fighter but I don’t think he can go the distance like you’ve said.

damn son, i’m not realy sure if i fully believe that resto didn’t know what the deal was…but panama seems like a straight up scumbag. really sad story.

If that’s the fight I think it is the guy committed suicide afterwards. Shit like that sickens me because he had his bright future ruined which is why I think Margarito should be banned from the sport completely. The sport is dangerous enough already.

Also Resto did know what was up, he was just young and stupid. I think he said something about his promoters threatening to ditch him if he lost any more fights and his trainer giving him that option.

If someone removes the padding in your gloves you’re going to know about it.

you :confused:?

i agree that was a stupid sh*t article. what are you whining it’s not a moral victory? what do you call it then? in this case, the writer wants floyd to have a moral victory for the people/fans/writers/etc, implying that he stand toe 2 toe even though it’s not his style.

all cheaters should be banned, not just loaded gloves. imo, those using steroids/etc should be banned too. this is a life and death sport. there should be no room for this.

What do you think about Shane Mosley then? It not only ruins the integrity of the game it makes the chance of serious injury all the more likely.

I call it being foolish.

Why is it that everytime that I watch HBO Boxing After Dark I see a fight with a crappy decision. What the hell where those Canadian judges watching? God, Funeka got robbed tonight.

HBO B.A.D judging indeed.

I’ve been a Roy Jones fan for a long time and I’m looking forward to his fight next week against Danny Green. Jones is starting to look like the old Jones again and I think he will win and then hopefully beat Hopkins next year.
