Ward was former amateur World level superstar and he had retired in time when he was 33. I really appreciate his opinion about his REAL prime. Kovalev like a lot of notable boxers continued to fight when they were over the hill. Ward btw is stuff like : I read his opinions and things that he had told. Also DLH when he was 36 y.o.
Interesting to see so many cite covid as a major factor. Seems the overall attitude towards the virus has become more serious on this board all of the sudden.
Yeah, I think that might be it, Joe is wide as ****. Look at him at most of his weigh ins. He's huge, he almost looks like a comic book character. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I think this is going to be a rough fight for Smith potentially one of his toughest. Vlasov is huge, can box, is durable. Can honestly see this one going either way. Smith can't let Vlasov settle into a rhythm otherwise he will probably be outboxed.
In his interviews, Maxim has been chaining (valid) excuses together on some woe is me ****, then topping it off with something to the effect of “but none of that matters because I feel great and I’m ready to fight.” I take that to mean that Joe’s gonna spark his ass, theatrically, within the first 4 rounds... Seems like I’m in the minority though.
Vaslov can't be there when Joe is set to punch, he has to move punch and make Joe reset. I think Joe, if he applies the constant pressure will start to burn his man up and stop him in the last 2 rounds or take a decision . I hope anyway, I like Joe
Or.... It's the fact that athletes can have a harder time with viruses and infection than normal people. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7165523/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7165523/ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-athletes-flu-travel-idUSKBN13X2FN Might want to think things through before making passive-agressive cute comments in the future.
Probably. Vlasov too. This is a fight where one man is going to have all of their hopes and dreams shattered in a dash, the other gets finally bask in glory. I don't want either guy to lose here - I like both. Will be happy for whomever wins.
