Guest Warriorfan Posted March 23, 2008 Report 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.
snuffbox Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 I hope Casamayor can finally get a big ppv payday now.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted April 6, 2008 Report 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 Posted April 7, 2008 Report 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 Posted April 12, 2008 Report 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.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Dawson got robbed out of that decision. Tarver vs Woods should be good.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Dawson got robbed out of that decision. Dawson got the desicion and no one was robbed. It was incredibly close and could've gone either way.
snuffbox Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Giving Dawson all of the first ten rounds was fucking dumb.
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Calzaghe/Hopkins tonight...going with (hoping and praying) that Calzaghe can rid us of Hopkins once and for all. I don't care much for racists.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Calzaghe/Hopkins tonight...going with (hoping and praying) that Calzaghe can rid us of Hopkins once and for all. I don't care much for racists. 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.
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I don't care if he was for real or not. I hate racial pre-fight hype.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 I don't care if he was for real or not. I hate racial pre-fight hype. Regardless, it did it's job and generated interest... It was no different when Hopkins threw down the PR flag before the Trinidad fight. Lighten up.
Guest Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Let me ask you then, what would happen if Joe Calzaghe had said, I'll never lose to a black man? The whole double standard thing is all that bothers me.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Let me ask you then, what would happen if Joe Calzaghe had said, I'll never lose to a black man? The whole double standard thing is all that bothers me. Well of course it would be made a bigger dealer by the media and such... But me personally? Aslong as he didn't call Hopkins a slave or a nigger, I wouldn't really care.
Warriorfan Posted April 19, 2008 Report 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
Broward83 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Let me ask you then, what would happen if Joe Calzaghe had said, I'll never lose to a black man? The whole double standard thing is all that bothers me. Well of course it would be made a bigger dealer by the media and such... But me personally? Aslong as he didn't call Hopkins a slave or a nigger, I wouldn't really care. 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.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Hopkins is fightin like a real bitch. Faking low blows and taking the full time alloted to catch a breath and try to fuck up his flow.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Looks like a "white boy" just beat you you fucking ho, hopkins.
snuffbox Posted April 20, 2008 Report Posted April 20, 2008 Was the Trinidad fight the last time Hopkins threw more than a punch at a time?
Lt. Al Giardello Posted April 30, 2008 Report Posted April 30, 2008 Is anyone else praying that Forbes beats De La Hoya?
Mik Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 I only watched the first season of the Contender but I know who Forbes is. It would be something if he beats Oscar. Free fight, heck I'll be watching despite not being huge in to boxing.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Oscar looks better but he doesn't look like he'll beat Mayweather if he fights him again, and that was the entire point of this fight.
Guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 Oscar looked like dirt. Definitely not someone worthy of fighting Floyd.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 I hope Floyd pops Oscar's eye out. Speaking of that, best shot of the fight was that uppercut to the eye socket from Forbes. I liked that. Can't stand De la Hoya.
Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 De La Hoya is getting a statue at Staples Center. Like, what the fuck.
