    Yep.

    Bert Cooper and Oliver McCall are scheduled to fight for real next month though.

    Something just never looked right to me in that fight (which I own) I kind of always have felt Tubbs may have taken a dive it was so quick and so average looking if memory serves... Not saying he for sure did because he could be caught but Ellis was no puncher not even in the Lionel Butler class (another lesser fighter to KO Tony) the Butler KO how ever is clearly a clean KO...

    Ex Raider scab Ellis and former heavyweight pretender Butler may have lacked polish and finess, but them two had some power if nothing else.... Again, I know Tubbs could box like a seasoned veteran, but his chin and desire left me in doubt at times....

    I don't think Tony was chinny, but you could just look at his body and tell that he wasn't very dedicated to training, or being prepared. If he had the desire to be a great champion, or get up from a strong punch, he would have done it. He laid down a lot once he'd had enough, though. He was just a big waste of talent. Very undependable.
    I would be worried if a guy like him was my trainer.

    Always thought Tony had a china chin since the Clarence Hill affair.He either needs to become a trainer, or maybe a fight commentator before he ends up like his boy Greg Page.

    Hey, Botha managed to beat young Flo Simba. Perhaps Tubbs can do the sam-

    No, **** it. He'll get whitewashed by any random boxer who isn't a total bum.

    Jesus he looks slow there... hope he doesn't get a licence, he'll get eaten alive by any decent Heavyweight. Though admittedly there aren't that many of those around these days that aren't in the top 10.

    I guess it is time for the long-awaited Tubbs vs Minto rematch. Losing to the awful Abraham Okine was the last straw I thought, but he had a decent ending to his career by beating an undefeated guy (who didn't turn out to be much but still). He went out a winner and I hope he doesn't ruin it with this unnecessary return.

    I agree Mr. Bill, Tubbs is a moron. What a piece of ****. The fat ******* would not get in shape in his prime and now he wants to fight? What an idiot.

    Regardless, there out to be a law against fathering 16 kids without having at least a million dollars in a secured account which specifically aides the kids growth until they are at least age 18....... This screwing all the ho's in the hood and raising *******s so uncle Sam can send the monthly welfare check is bull****....... Tubbs should be forced to have his balls cut off......... We, the USA, don't need any more broke horny *******s on the loose swinging there tool in every direction...

    Seamus,

    Broke dicks fathering ******* kids by the dozen is a major issue here in the USA.... Its gone on far too long.... John Q. Public is already taxed well enough as is, and the common worker who earns a living is getting fed up by being taxed so some jaggov from Bumsville can go screw around and poke bitches and have kids so the welfare check gets started in the mail every month...

    The USA is already at 300,000,000 people here in 2011... Its time for some regulation on having kids.... If you can afford it, well, fine.... If you can't, well, abortion time....... Rules are Rules.....
    :shock:
