    I do a little more break downs than I do talking about legacies. Only speak on fighters I know about. Better to know 95% about a few fighters than a little bit about everyone.

    My best **** comes through PMs. AZZk Hook! to pitch. There's none of that feminine fence straddling he has a 30% or 40% chance of winning in my material. When I do breakdowns I come to a conclusion that someone will get their AZZ kicked, that's why I prefer PMs. If I really think someone will get their AZZ kicked, there's no point in saying bull**** like he has a 30% chance just to sound fair and unbiased.

    For example, I knew Juan wouldn't get walked all over and stopped by emmanuel, but my prediction was still emmanuel gets a legit decision. There wasn't a Juan has a 45% chance bull****. I was happy to be wrong and still more accurate than the majority of people. Many people didn't want to believe me that roidman hasn't improved that drastically even when presented with visual evidence.:verysad

    Most my serious **** is posted on the scene these days. There's much more to be learned over there as they have a higher number of members with hands on boxing experience compared to esb. We put up a poll on this site once and found that there's more "martial artists" here than boxers.

    I see myself more as the supplement man though. AT"G"s, photos of specific counters, youtube videos down to the exact second where a move was done, gifs, compubox numbers with the math done, etc LEON started that ****.

    I think I do it pretty well at breaking fights and fighters down...

    Let's start with the Maidana vs Alexander fight:

    So why did Alexander do such a good job?

    Maidana doesn't gain extra power @ 147
    Alexander's Southpaw stance takes away Maidana's overhand right (mostly)
    Alexander is stronger @ 147
    The fight went only 10 rounds (even though this doesn't seem to matter anymore..as the move to 147 made such an impact)
    Alexander has decent speed, with nice uppercuts.
    Maidana failed to use his OWN uppercuts during the fight

    Conclusion:
    Maidana needs to stick at 140
    Alexander has good potential at 147, but needs to start faster (took him 3-4 rounds in the maidana fight to get into full swing)

    Future fight predicitions:

    Pacquiao vs Bradley - Pacquiao KO/TKO Bradley..unless Bradley had a solid chin (hasn't really been tested) then it may be a decision for pac... also if pac isn't in great shape it may go down to decision. also expect headbutts, Bradley wants to open a gash on Pac's eye no doubt!

    Mayweather vs Cotto - Cotto slowly falls behind, bleeding from the nose from striaght rights & swollen eyes.. lands a few decent shots.. fails to do much to Mayweather. Mayweather wins late TKO or UD decision,everyone on ESB hails him the GOAT. :/
     
  4. I need a night's rest and a big cup of coffee to be able to really coherently articulate a good breakdown without getting lazy with the superlatives and overstatements.

    Sometimes they're better. My fight break down of Khan-Maidana was Khan wins since they weren't going to put him in with someone who can beat him.:yep

    Morales - refused
    Bradley - Ducked
    Maidana (dangerous) - Beaten
    Judah - Beaten
    Peterson - nearer enough beaten
    Alexander - no reason to fight @ 140...

    What can Khan do honestly?
    What do you want him to do?
    :nut
    If Khan had everything his way he would have fought Bradley december 2011 then moved up to 147 in early 2012.
    But **** happens - evidently.

    nah it wasn't a dig at Amir

    sometimes it's best to just keep it simple and skip out on a break down entirely. A limited slugger unknown slugger like Maidana wasn't going to be the man to beat a "boxer" with world class training like Amir.

    I'm sure everyone will say they do, and that no one else dose.

    What % of fight predictions should someone get right to be able to say that they do?

    Pac by vicious KO.

    Mayweather via embarrassing schooling.

    Tyson by career ending KO.

    Andre Ward via headbutt flurry

    Those are my favorite breakdowns.
