Sorry but Matthyse was a disgrace tonight. Which other JR WW comes in @ 164? Come on!

I don't know why this went over my head but....

A prime example of this is... DLH vs Pac.

DLH was by far the bigger fighter overall. Yet Pacquaio outweighed him in the ring.

 

Yea I just doubt that he weighed 163. Specially when most people agree, he didn't look any bigger than before.



Too bad Pejavan isn't around..... I'll never forget his quote of saying "my god Mayweather looks huge vs Ortiz, he must must weigh as much if not more than Ortiz" (or something like that)

 

All those fight night weights are unofficial.

Nobody ever witnesses any of those ****ing weigh ins.

 

:yep

 

its been confirmed, he was 163.5
why compare him to dallas who was taller and way more skinny

 

As long as he made weight, i could care less.

 

"Pedantic" means to be overly concerned with little details & arcane fine-points, or to flaunt them in a attempt to show off. I really don't think you are using it correctly!

--------

- but had you actually meant "semantics" then it was a very good point.

 

Not only was Matthyse fighting as a middleweight, Dallas only got 4 weeks to train, lost his father.

 

I just saw the fight and there is no way in hell Lucas was even close to 164. OP is obviously a butt hurt borther.

 

Hmm whom do I trust. David Greisman, a renowned boxing writer or some ****** dick on a boxing forum and his "insight"

Hmm I think Ill go with David Greisman.

 

Matthysse KO1. Deal with it butthurt brother.

 

Zab/Alexander SD MAtthyse. It's ok, get mad.

Deal with it, brother.

 

Why is Matthyse a disgrace? The dude's a good professional for making the weight with no problems.

 

From David Greisman himself.

 

I'm really finding this rather tiresome,but if you want to know why I used the word pedantic,then it's because I feel that lumping a diuretic in with PEDs because it is a banned substance is somewhat closed-minded,and not looking at the bigger picture.A bit too "rulebook".
Too black and white when there's more to it.Is that OK?
Which in a roundabout way is being pedantic,so I know exactly what I meant,and I would strongly object to the assertion that this warrants an arrest by the dictionary Police.
Actually quite funny that boxers are called cowards,posters are called paedos and all sorts of xenophobic taunts are made everyday on ESB,yet I'm having to explain my use of the word "pedantic" at length.
And I still stand by my original point,but I promised never to say it or suggest it again,so that'll be my last word on the subject.
