look hopefully i don't get kicked off of here for my language, but every one talking sh*t is either an as* hole or does'nt know **** about boxing, every one hates vitali and wlad, or vlad, what ever,cause they break fighters down with there jabs, once broken they attack a little more with an array of other punches, isn't that what boxing is about, sticking and moving and, winning!!!, look theres only going to be a couple a rare heavies that blow people out with knock outs in the first three rounds, and tyson only comes to my mind in that distinction, joe louis, frazier, shavers, foreman, all the old hard hitters beat the shi* outa fighters but even the man considered the greatest (ali)used a jab and used every inch of the ring to win, all fighters train for a reason, to learn hoe to fight and to learn how to win, so please enjoy the sweet science, wich is jabbing, moving around the ring, wearing your foe down and winning, if you wanna complain about boxing, go watch some guy's roll around, at the ufc!!!
Very well said, noob!! Most people on this forum suffer from herd mentality. They wouldn't recognize the truth if it slapped them in the face.
Many boxing fans do like street fight more than boxing. They are not able to see the little details that make the difference. The footwork, the timing, the defense. All they want is big banging. I'm with you, I do like the sweet science of boxing. I still have to learn but I'm not worried. :thumbsup
there are many other sports that would better suit a lover of technique. what makes boxing great is the display of heart, grit, determination and the drama that these qualities bring forth in the ring. these are the things that move men because we would all love to posses them but very few do.
Sweet Science = Ali, Whitaker, Lopez, Sanchez Wlad fights resemble a fencing match. If the heavyweight division was not so crappy he would not be able to pull it off.
good post some will not agree because most of them "casual fans" do not appreciate the art and science of boxing but true boxing fan had all eyes on to it...
Exactly !!! Comparing Ali , (either lying on the ropes letting the murderous Foreman punch himself out , or darting around Big Cat Williams ) to a man with every conceivable physical advantage back pedalling like his life depended on it is a joke. Wlad is effective at what he does , as is Vitali no one can deny that but sweet science ???? NO.......****ING..............WAY !
