It's been couple years since I saw it but considering how Frazier fought it wouldn't surprise me if there was a few.
Ali was wearing his trunks on the low side and that belt line was narrow. Frazier was absolutely battering that belt line and ZERO bitching from Ali.
Exactly... If we want to simplify it Dubois - two gatekeepers and a faded legit contender Parker - two old fringe contenders and a gatekeeper Kabayel - two hypejob journeymen (possibly low level gatekeepers at best) and an old fringe contender. The math of that statement just doesn't add up - if any of them stands out as nowhere near as deserving as the other two? It's Kabayel, and it's not close.
And what does this prove exactly? Here you have Tyson getting points deducted for the similar blows. Just because the ref doesn't see/doesn't penalize illegal blows, doesn't mean they are not illegal This content is protected
Regardless it is selling the fight I know this is for the undisputed title, but we all know Usyk is the champion already and other than the controversy, he outclassed Daniel I have made it no secret I am not a fan of the rematch. I think there are better fights out there. However, it may be the biggest money fight outside of Joshua or Fury I am not happy with Dubouis pulling out against Parker and still getting the shot. however, if we voiced our concern with everything that makes us unhappy about boxing? We would be typing all day
Go to 1:49 and just watch this idiots answer. This content is protected That’s all he could ****ing ‘compute’ in his brain to say regarding Usyk showing class and telling him not to give up on his dreams after putting him on his knees for a 10-count following a jab. Anyway to answer your original question… YES. I think dubois and his team really do believe their own dumb ****. That’s a VERY low IQ squad right there
Just to add, usyk has a radar on what to expect now. unless he has aged badly overnight, I spect him to put it on Daniel by mid rounds and stop him again
I think Dubois won't quit this time, but he didn't fight a mover recently, might be too much for his boxing brain. All is possible, including DDD stopping Usyk with a legal shot.
If he puts together more good wins, it should... There's two possible ways that his time doesn't come at all: 1) He loses to someone before he earns/gets his shot 2) Let's call this "the Hrgovic method" - if he decides to avoid risky fights for a little while in order to maintain what he perceives is a strong position... But other good fights get made and so he keeps on waiting and becoming less and less relevant. #1 isn't impossible - he looks decent, but equally he's not mega proven (by far his wins are ancient Zhang and Chisora a long time ago) so it shouldn't be that big a shock if he did lose to someone who's decent but not necessarily special... And because he's got a limited resume behind him, a loss would hurt his trajectory much more than it would for a much more proven fighter - questions like why was he fighting only absolute trash between Chisora and Sanchez (not that Sanchez and Makh are even proven gatekeepers yet!), why was everyone hyping him so hard (guys go from overhyped to slammed REALLY fast!), etc. #2... I hope wouldn't happen... Equally, though, if we're realistic, it's not like he's on a ridiculously mega run - he's beaten two massively overhyped guys and a very old Chinaman who hits bloody hard but has a mixed record (before Kabayel he was 3-2-1 against top-200 ranked fighters, he's obviously 3-3-1 now)... He's on a good path if he keeps it up - it's just a little bit soon to be certain he's going to keep it up. Sounds very naysayer but it's realism - I hope he makes some good fights regardless of whether he wins or loses them, I just feel like the hype has gone into overdrive with him at the moment.
