Before Judah-KT

KT was the under dog and people were talking of kt vs DLH again. or even a fight with tito at 147 if it could be made.

 

One of the highlights in my rather spotty history of pugilistic predictions:

Tszyu In Two

 

I started a thread to name the Judah dance. That got some hilarious responses. Wish I could remember some of them.

Before the fight i was championing Tszyu to alot of negative Americans on another board which i will reframe from mentioning. I got into a discussion with the owner of the site and all he had as an argument was Vince Phillips, i countered that Tszyu was ill that night due to a nutrition imbalance, as Tszyu had said.

Then i got banned:twisted:

Before the fight i thought Tszyu was in for a tough one, he would probably be behind after 4, maybe even suffering a flash knockdown.

By round 5 he would be in his groove, by 6/7 he would have started to find his range with regularity and started to break Judah down.

I picked Tszyu via stoppage in 8 or 9.

You should have seen my face when it was stopped in 2

 

I remembered that late 2000/early 2001, I was hearing a lot of people on the boards (not this one, but secondsout which doesn't have a message board anymore) saying Tszyu would win. Then came the Tszyu-Mitchell fight in Feburary 2001, and they were supposed to fight in the summer. Tszyu elected to fight Urkal (mandatory??) instead and people were accusing Tszyu of ducking Judah. Tszyu didn't look good in that bout, and Judah dominated Vester on what I believe was the same card, the opinions seemed to favor Judah after that card.

 

I thought that Tyzu was such an incredible fighter that I couldn't believe that people actually favored Judah. I thought that I read the paper wrong when I saw Judah was a 2:1 favorite.

 

Tszyu was a massive underdog on these boards.

 

that reminds me when i was on 'boxingbanter', a predominantly british board, and one poster got banned for crowing after hatton got spanked by floyd.

he would have copped a lot of flack if hatton had won - but he didn't of course.

 

Thanks for that Mr. 38 posts.

Now for the reality - this place was full of Judah nuthuggers then just as it is full of Floyd nuthuggers now. "US hood" fighters are as overhyped here as they are anywhere else.

 

you've got 5.5k posts and you still haven't got enough belief in your point of view to stop referring to other people as "nuthuggers"?

"MR 38 posts" has a big jump on you already if all you can bring to the forum is negativity - and that's probably because you live on here.

you just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread.

 

Live on here?

Those posts are a total from the last 3 years plus. I usually have short bursts of being on here when work is quiet. I basically get paid to be here. :yep

As for the "belief" comment... that doesn't even make any sense! Care to explain in English? Why would the fact that there are nuthuggers have anything to do with how much I believe in anything?

Back to the point, I was merely pointing out the TRUTH that the board was full of people predicting a blowout for Super Zab.


The only reason my join date is 2005 is because there was a major crash around that time and most of us had to re-join. I was actually here at the time of that fight so all I was saying is that I am a little more qualified to comment on the attitude of the board at the time than a dude with 38 posts and a join date of July 2008.


Chill out, killer. No need to get your panties in a twist. :good

 

Oh, I see you added another pointless sentence to your post.

Well, as a matter of fact I ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE THREAD TOPIC. You only came on here because you love me and had to say something about me.

Look at your post and mine, and tell me whose post was relevant to the topic.

:deal

 

no you actually come on to dismiss people's comments and send emotes.

that's all i've seen you do the last few posts and that's how you'll continue.
