    What does Bute say about Stevenson sparring. He admits that in the 5th round Adnois hit him with a good headshot but that he didnt go down and didnt stop the sparring, correct? After that he says something about the second round talks abit then the crowd laughs, could someone translate that part?

    Morning gents.:good
    I can confirm this as well.Sicilians have a different accent and dialect from mainlanders.
    And I think Germans are the same,though it's only a Tarantino movie I heard that one in.
    Wonder how "bull**** scorecards" sounds in different regions of Germany.:huh

    Accents are very different from one German region to another. People in Munich don't speak like Berliners at all.

    Yes.

    He says that Adonis conveniently forgets about what happened in the 12th round of that sparring session when Bute shattered him so badly that Adonis was basically out.

    I don't know whether the events really went this way, but it is sure that the sparring session was of little mutual collaboration between the partners. :)

    Exactly. Frenchman usually finish their sentence with a high note as for us, in Quebec, we tend to use a lower note, being influenced since 1760 by the English language.

    Nah, actually it's closer to ''classic'' 1600s French spoked by the King (for instance, people back then ''rolled'' their R and ''oi'' would be prononced ''oé'').

    There definitely are some anglicisms, but they are not as important as some may think. In fact, there are a lot less of those these days than, say, 50 years ago when people used to say ''tire'' for ''pneu'' or ''fleur'' (flour) for ''farine''.

    :lol: Bute is from other dimension, why would he waste his time against this mediocre Adonis (34)? No offence, but Stevenson doesn't look better than Jean-Paul Mendy. One accepted challenger it was enough. We want to see big fights! Bute is 32, no time to waste. Sparring? :lol:

    It's true that there is more anglicisms in France than Quebec. Being in our situation has made us more aware (still not enough of us).

    King Arthur would knock him out in 3rd round! :bbb Stevenson was knocked out by Darnell Boone in 2nd round and wants to fight Elite now. :)

    So what if he is ranked 6th? ****ing joke like Stieglitz who is 4th, imagine Andre Dirrell is 9th! Now that's a joke.

    Morning mate!

    I think the proper translation for "bull**** scorecards" in german is : "ausgezeichnete scorecards". :lol:

    It seem like Adrian Diaconu will retire. He's dissapointed that he wasn't supported more by Interbox.
    More in an article in romanian press:

    That's very cool of you. I'm sure he'll have a splendid time.
