Bandwaggons you were on that faltered/failed?

I was but in my defence I was only 8/9 so didn't have a clue what was going on. I watched his debut and the next I heard and saw of him he was fighting Danny Williams and losing for the first time.

 

Alexander Alexeev, Antwone Smith as both mentioned spring to mind. Mijares. There's probably a tonne of others but I can't really think at the moment.

 

Darchinyan beating Mijares the way he did was seen as a huge upset at the time wasn't it? Was Amsterdam ever seen again on the General after that fight?

For those who don't know Amsterdam was a regular poster on the General who thought Mijares was a genuine ATG fighter in the making. Ahh the General was actually a half-decent forum back then, how times have changed. :verysad

I very much doubt that I was the only one on this but I wasa paying passenger on the 'Haye to clean up/genuinely attempt to clean up the Heavyweight division' train.

 

Classic.

 

I blame that 60 second highlight reel of Paulie that Sky put together when they were promoting Hatton-Mallnaggi, with careful editing they somehow made him look like a cross inbetween Ray Robinson, Mike Tyson and Willie Pep.

 

Mijares was already in my top 5 P4P. I had him down to dominate Vic and even took the **** out of a poster who thought Vic would knock him out. I'm surprised he never came back to tell me I was a twat who knew nothing about boxing. He was well within his rights to.

 

After Vic lost to Donaire, he was considered as being a little limited. I think people though he'd be chasing Mijares and eating sharp 1-2 combos all night on his way to a lopsided points loss. But Vic was a good amateur who'd gotten away from his strengths to focus simply on power-punching.

So, yeah, it was an upset - but afterwards, it was clear Mijares had his own flaws which were just waiting to be exploited. Without a plodder standing in front of him, with good power and superior timing, he couldn't figure out what to do.

 

well i can confirm that Mad Matt Hatton Express still has a few seats if any of you gentlemen or ladies would like to get aboard a bandwagon that has a backup generator, spare wheels, a full toolkit and lays down its own tracks as it travels along...


next stop: the bolton arena in november, for the defence of the European Championship of the Realm against one Roberto Belge, boasting a KO percentage(2 of 4 coming in his first 3 fights) of....wait for it.........................................

choooo chooo

 

I was co-driving the 'Bad Chad P4P Great' bandwagon with Slip a few months back....

 

We had a little detour, but it could be back on course. I doubt it, however i'm not ready to give up on Chad just yet.

 

Quiet a lot, don't think i really tip them to be stars but most of the fighters I like get beat Cintron for one been a fan of his for years but knew his limitations.

 

They're on about Cloud-Dawson in February/March time. Fair play to Chad if he takes that fight, i still believe but he needs to sort his head out. You never know, that Pascal fight could be the making of him.

 

Can't let you forget your namesake...that poster child for low boxing IQ. Jeff 'here comes my left hook' Lacy. :good

 

To be fair I jumped on after he was taken apart I just followed him because of the heart he showed in the fight. You got a feel for a guy who has a term named after him for complete domination
