The Boxing Thread

Nigga stfu. Floyd fuckin ran in all his big fights… his style is only allowed in his fights and for you to make a big deal out of his matches when he clearly forced all control and got points for antics no one in boxing can ever get is retarded. It’s only in Floyd’s fights in where nothing happens, no one is getting hurt, and where you don’t need to at least attempt much punches to win on points.

You are just a retard 21st century fan who uses youtube and thinks he knows boxing. Your logic is fucking ridiculous BTW, you are complaining about Manny’s last fight opponent yet are all up on floyd’s ass when he chose berto? GTFO

I do like Floyd’s contributions to the sport and how he handles himself in comparison to Manny. Manny is a deluded fuck when he speaks.

Soooo. I take it none of yall watched yesterdays fights?

I was tied up nearly all day and didn’t get to watch shit. Haven’t even checked any results… :bluu:

I was at the gym and then my fuccgirls house

Date night with Mrs. Hyper Kid @CUTWEST . I should have posted em before I left though. That is my fault.

JMM fought most of his career at featherweight. JMM only went up to welterweight (jumping 2 weightclasses to do so) at the end of his career to fight Mayweather and then Pacquiao. Before that he was definitely ducked by a lot of the big names.

I think Pac/Bradley 3 could be a good fight, but only because Pac is old. If Pac wants to go out fighting contenders, I don’t really see why he’s not doing so against dudes that he hasn’t fought before (eg Kahn, Prodnikov, etc…).

I thought Roy Jones retired years go…

Joshua fought well, nice combinations, KO looked pretty brutal.

my god RJJ… just…stop

LMFAO WTF ROY JONES

Someone needs to tell Roy to sit down.

I just ordered some Winning 12 oz. velcro gloves for hitting the bag. I ordered from Winning-USA. I have a feeling they’ll take forever to get here.

Winnings! Im jealous. Those are the japanese pillow gloves floyd made popular right? Hella exp too

They are definitely Japanese pillows! I’m not sure if Mayweather made them popular if at all. For me, they were always known and I came to know of them through Muay Thai albeit people would just buy Twins because they were good and some people could buy them really cheap. I hit the makiwara so it’s not like I need them. B-baka!

Local gym is quoting me $250 first month and $150 for subsequent months. Sounds about right but it is an expensive hobby.

I’ve been watching some oldies and I have to say Ken Norton is the most unique heavyweight I’ve seen.

His rhythm and stance are so unorthodox that even Ali can’t get a read on him. I’ve seen matches of Ali being pressured, but here he seems absolutely puzzled.

I just always saw floyd using the winnings he was the first person i noticed using them

Next time order from Rakuten brother man. Winning USA upcharges like a bitch and they don’t even offer half as many colors. I think Winning-USA is pretty rigid with customization as well unless your name is Floyd Mayweather or you’re another top level pro.

Rakuten offers free screenprinting IIRC and more customization options by far. All the gloves come from the same factory, but the Winning-USA rep is upcharging (Plus shipping IIRC) whereas Rakuten is what you’d pay in Japan for Winning gloves+shipping(You can ask Mitani to delcare the product as a gift to avoid extra taxes).

What he’s got is what he’s got as far glove Size and color combination goes, but if there is a color you want and not in your size you can custom order it.Obviously will take longer in the case of custom orders because it’s just one dude and his wife running this operation and filling orders over the entire world(He has been on shaky standing with Winning in the past before because it is a greatu dishonouru to sell such a great product to foreigners at non rape prices).

It’s mostly a lower weight kind of thing when it comes to actual fights. Japanese fighters pretty much exclusively use them. It’s also popular with guys that have hand problems like Mayweather. Erik Morales used them as well and I think his reasoning was that he spent so much time hitting the bag and sparring with them he felt comfortable using it as his fight glove as well.

Rakuten didn’t have the gloves I needed.

Finally got my gloves
