Boswell TKOs Greenburg in 2nd!

Why so funny?
Roman trains at my gym and is a genuinely nice geezer.
This was always going to be a step right up in class, boswell is no mug at all.
Why do we feel the need to laugh when a prospect gets stopped?
Have you seen it?
Are you laughing because being stopped by a heavy with 21 ko's is embarrassing?
Better fighters than Roman have lost before and will again.
He can come back from this and still mix in the top ten....

 

I think everyone doubted Greenberg would do anything great in his career but to hear that he lost is nothing to cheer about. Greenberg is a good bloke and not a bad fighter. Boswell has got his career back on track.

 

I really didn't get this fight.
Roman fights 27 times and then makes quite a big step up all of a sudden to fight Boswell :?:huh
From Colin Kenna then straight to Boswell?

I'm not saying Boswell is great but Roman fought 27 times against pretty poor quality opposition and then chooses Boswell.

 

I guess he should've been fighting better opposition in those first 27 fights.
Learning how fight aggressively would've been a good idea too, rather than coasting around jabbing.

 

I am amazed that a black American heavyweight actually won a fight. What is the world coming to.

 

Stuey, my first reaction to the thread title was to laugh. Its nothing against the fighter personally but I think a lot of people could see this coming and knew it was just a matter of time.

There have a been a few threads on Greenburg on the Brit from people asking how far he could go and how good he was and, while most peoples opinion was that he'll get KO'd as soon as he made any move up in class, some people did actually think he could make an impact a world level.

 

Who was the ****** who said Greenberg would be the first billion dollar Heavyweight? Was It Waterman?

 

I've got nothing against Greenberg personally, but he has been so overprotected and in 27 fights has made little or no impact on the world stage.

Boswell is no mug at all so these posts will be full of people saying what they have been saying for ages. I told you so. Step him up in class and he'll get a tuning.

 

I forgot about Boswell, but remember he was being talked up a lot before McCline stopped him (I think he was leading at the time). He's probably good enough to hang with the top 10 heavies and beat some.
I see he beat Tyson clone Cliff Couser last month
as for Greenberg.....who really thought he was world class? surely not.

 

Stuey mate, I can see your point but obviously as you know him it makes it different for you.
The fact is Greenberg was being hyped YEARS ago. And then more hype started from nowhere last year...I had actually forgotten about him, he was being talked up 5 years back. It seems a lifetime ago.

And he has been horribly protected. I guess people are just glad to see him actually fight someone with a pulse and the stupid overrating of him finally stop.

 

I always said he is overrated. I never expected him to go anywhere. His game needed serious work and he never did it, yet got praise.

 

Exactly. He was hyped from the days BBC were trying to bring back boxing.

 

Not sure if this story is correct but did'nt Jim Watt get fired by Eurosport for saying Greenberg was pants during one of Roman's fights?
