    I seriously don't know where either of those places are (but I'm guessing they're cities in Europe with internationally popular soccer teams?)

    Everton is a football team from Liverpool, Tottenham is a team from North London.

    So they're sponsor names then?

    Or are those outlying neighborhoods of those respective metropolitan areas?

    Why sounds too close to manure? :lol::lol:

    I'm from America so I'm not really immersed in the English league as much as someone from Britain I imagine, but yeah I've followed them since the mid 2000s when teenage Ronaldo and Rooney were tearing the league up, not to mention all the greats like Rio, Giggs, Scholes, Vidic, and so on

    Round 3

    Aduashvili is jabbing the body and keeping Ivanov's gaze lowered to set him up for the rising hook at mid-range. Ivanov is steering clear, using lots of circumnavigation, quicker and with longer legs, able to get side-on positioning and feed the jab into Aduashvili's cheekbone and set up a few two- and three-piece combos before resetting outside.

    10-9 Ivanov

    20-18 Ivanov

    Hehe nah, Tottenham is a place in North London (like a "town", there are many) whereas Everton I'm not entirely sure, it probably is also some place in Liverpool.

    In Europe it's not so common to name clubs after sponsors.

    I hate Man U only because I used to work for Aon. They gave me some free swag at one point and whenever I wore my bag with their logo on it some obnoxious person with their face all lit up would stop me to chat about soccer.

    I don't remember exactly, but at least historically there's some negative connotation to the term.

    ...Aduashvili?

    Or the main event's?

    Muller is a decent trier. He cut his teeth on the (actually surprisingly fairly deep) South African cruiser scene, and is about top 5 domestically there. He could hang with most of the Euro class (but well short of world) folk.

    Yeah, cruiserweight is mad over there!

    It feels like a step down though, or maybe a shuffle left at a slight diagonal. I'm guessing he's beaten better guys already.

    How do we feel this affects his ability to do what he said he'd do vis-a-vis Holyfield?

    The Ukrainian's got some nice uppercuts.
