Choi Tseveenpurev. The Brits know him well. The rest of the world? Not so much. Who is he? [yt]-muSo3yZJrQ[/yt] [yt]Rwr7fo4rGh4[/yt] [yt]2U7oztrMgew[/yt] [yt]_ItPF2BsGKs[/yt] [yt]d81YfrW-jVE[/yt] [yt]LyFwSt-UC_8[/yt] [yt]x1n_g-re3lw[/yt] [yt]swVq0QAuRjk[/yt] [yt]Ia-oyT6qPYc[/yt] [yt]N9qxaXPat3s[/yt] [yt]UAwbahxyONs[/yt] [yt]1c9YfHqC3fo[/yt] [yt]ppCJ6ZMS6DY[/yt] He's the ****ing greatest fighter in the world. Greatest 40-something fighter in the world, anyway. Definitely the greatest Mongolian fighter (with all due respect to Shinny Bayaar). Seriously, he's everything good about the sport. Hard punching bell to bell, always in fantastic shape, willing to take all comers for any purse, and he's got personality. Personality goes a long way. Ask Jules Winnfield.
So, I actually posted this exact thread a week ago and for some strange unknown reason it mysteriously disappeared less than 24 hours later despite breaking no apparent rules of any kind. I know Chucky at least didn't do it. I haven't spoken with the other mods, but nobody has come forth to claim responsibility...nor to explain whether it was an accidental thread deletion, or done on purpose (and if so, wtf the justification was). Boxed Ears helped inspire the idea for the following, since he mentioned he's always paranoid about threads possibly targeted for deletion and takes screen-captures. I used Google's cache feature to do just that and show people that the mythical thread did in fact exist...all too briefly. RIP. Thanks to the caching properties of Google, and my own dogged persistence...the thread is gloriously REBORN! The original page one: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected (the rest of page 1 constituted someone asking "Who????" and me responding "The former unified WBU and WBF featherweight champion, former Prizefighter super featherweight finalist, and as of yesterday THE Prizefighter featherweight champion, son!!". Then someone else said he was exciting and could be a star, and someone else said "Oh, but for that last name. ***** to pronounce." and I responded with this post: Someone had made a tongue in cheek remark about Choi not taking Derry Matthews' shots too well, so Russell inquired if his chin was really all that good. I babbled something about it being iron fused to adamantium, and that Choi was actually the ORIGINAL Weapon X prototype before Logan/Wolverine... ...and then page 2 happened...
The original page two: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Lovingly reconstructed to original specifications. <3 Choi love will never die!!!! >_<
Guys a warrior, But he is 40, What does he have left? He looked great in the last prizefighter so maybe a couple more good years,
Anyway, let's discuss the future @ featherweight for Choi. This is after all a serious thread in tribute to a fine boxer.
How is the Mongolian boxing scene supposed to thrive and grow with no support from the international fan community? I ask you?
I think he'd knock Dib into next century, myself. I'd really, really, really, really, really like to see that get made. For real.
Without getting into too much detail, because I'm sure the bomb will drop anytime...in fact, it might have already dropped while I'm typing this at around 45, but anyway, fun fighter, very entertaining. Not much more you can ask for. Very good for boxing.
