You should go watch some tapes from the 80s, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Hearns, Duran. I think both MMA and Boxing are sports. Both are also entertainment, too. |

That was a decent fight. Think the ref stopped it a little early, but still got a deserved winner. |

People comparing the Alvarez-Golovkin decision to Pac-Bradley I are idiots. The Pac decision was about 1,000 times worse. |

Big matchbtoday, Ortiz Vs Wilder. Then Joshua Vs Parker later this month. Great month for heavyweight boxing, |

Post subject: | Re: Boxing |
Aside from pissing hot twice, Ortiz is the fucking man. Both men fought incredibly hard. Also, Wilder's footwork may be a tad goofy — and I don't know what's up with his windmilling hammer fists — but he has a great chin, a ton of heart, and cinder blocks for hands. He just might have what it takes to stop Joshua. As for later this month; I want Parker to beat Joshua, but I just don't see it happening. |

Hopefully Joshua beats both Parker and Wilder. Better boxer, heart of a lion, big smile, proper career. |

Post subject: | Re: Boxing |
I'll give you Wilder, but Joshua is not a better boxer than Parker; he's just more of a natural athlete, and has a more sophisticated PED cycle. |
