Ah, no I don’t think Usyk was crying wolf, based on the other low shots. That context was simply to illustrate that Dubois was expressly trying...
I think Usyk trunks sat perfectly and his navel was visible otherwise. The punch came up, contacting mostly below the belt line first, then...
Henry always appeared that bit awkward for Ali - even during the 1966 rematch when Ali was Champ.
Tua def. has a chance, but how much of one? AJ could opt for the Ruiz 2 stay out of harms way strategy but he still appeared so leery and...
ESB did a lot of hard work converting all those old posts that were originally carved into stone tablets into electronic form. Back then it...

Well stone the flam’n’ crows, “this is not a serious post” might’ve been referring to the one you were replying to. Philosophise that! :D
Yes, competitive and entertaining. Not easy to put Bugner down, especially the younger version. These days some may underrate Frazier’s power....
Shirley, you can’t be serious…….:D You’re likely joking but it actually is…serious, that is. Jersey Joe Walcott fought both Phil Johnson (Dad)...
Prior to the rematch I read a lot of hedging of bets re Fury. Many said Fury was shot BUT if he could come back and beat Usyk - how great would...
