Guest Warriorfan Report post Posted March 23, 2008 Terrific fight tonight between Casamayor and Katsitis! I thought Casamayor was finished when of course he showed that power is the last gift to leave a fighter and he crushes Katsitis. Campbell vs Casamayor should be another fight of the year contender.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Tyson marathon on ESPN Classic right now. Fuck yeah. See him smoke contenders like "Slammin" Sammy Scaff. Ouch. Just tore Sammy's nose. Who's this guy? Didn't even have an introduction. Lanky white tomato can. Already been down twice..three times as I type that to a left hook in the gut. Whatta fighter.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted April 7, 2008 That's the most graphic shot for sure, but my favorite is between 3:30-3:45 against Tillis, and I'll tell you why. On the surface, the most impressive thing about Tyson is his brute strength and superhuman killer instinct, but when he was focused, and moving his head to set up his offense, his defense was just textbook. Supreme conditioning, agility, and vision. Look at that fucker doing neckrolls to start. Murderer with gloves on. In his prime, he could knock out anyone in the history of fighting.

Guest Report post Posted April 12, 2008 Some good fights tomorrow, save one, which looks to be a beatdown waiting to happen. Cotto KO Gomez early...very early. Margarito KO Cintron late, Cintron should hit Marg really well, but Margarito has an iron chin. Won't do much to hurt him. Tarver SD Woods, probably the toughest to call, but Tarver looks to be in good shape. Dawson UD Johnson, kinda close. I'm not sure whether or not Dawson really is the good, but Light Heavy needs new blood, so I've gotta pick him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pre-fight trash talk to generate interest, something Hopkins always does... I can't believe you actually thought Hopkins was for real. If he was such a "racist", I doubt he would have Freddie Roach help him prepare for the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was no different when Hopkins threw down the PR flag before the Trinidad fight. Lighten up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aslong as he didn't call Hopkins a slave or a nigger, I wouldn't really care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warriorfan 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 The big fight is tonight and here is what will happen. I've seen Calzaghe's last 2 big fight against Lacy and Kessler and while he was impressive in both I just don't think he will be able to win tonight. Hopkins, has enough guile, skill and toughness to frustrate and pot-shot Calzaghe throughout the fight. I don't want to dismiss Calzaghe as another cheap British import that will crumble under pressure, but I have to. Prediction: Hopkins by unanimous decison gut feeling Hopkins by 10th RD TKO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See, this is where I side with 909. Any boxer of any etnicity (save caucasin) can say whatever the fuck they want to generate pre-fight "hype" and get away with it. Now if a white guy goes up and in the name of "hype" and says that he's gonna beat the nigga down or send him packin back to the ghetto.. we get special ESPN townhall's dealing with racism in today's sports. I mean seriously, if its all just hype.. then let 'em say whatever the hell they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
