This coming from the man who claims to have made 420,000 pounds this year gambling??? Its like Ruel Fox slagging off someone for being black
Guzman tells lies in a way that makes me think he's very young or not quite right in the head. At least Rob is telling what he knows in good faith that its true.
The Froch venue debacle and now this suggest that contracts weren't formally agreed though, which is - outside of boxing - unthinkable. Should have all been signed and sealed up front...
In fairness, this isn't the first time the two Andres have pulled this ****. Wasn't Dirrell talking about pulling out after he lost to Froch, and wasn't Ward talking about taking the title out of the tournie after he beat Kessler. No wonder we get even more drama when these two are facing each other. It's pretty shameful, they're the two fighters with the most to gain from this tournament. Both young, american, with not really any name beforehand.
Why is ward allowed to be the only fighter to get hometown advantage in every fight,I don't understand surely this can't have be agreed to at the start of negotiations?
The super six can get better if they make the fights more regular and define all the rules etc before the tournament. For the next super 6 I would like too see these adjustments off the top of my head 1> Every fight in neutral territory 2> all 3 fights on the same night 1 after the other (and even in the same arena) 3> no more then 4 monhts between fights 4> judges appointed from a different continent to where the fight is taking place 5> Some involment from Ring Magazine
Just not possible. 1) Where is there a neutral territory for all 6 of them? 2) Froch, Abraham, Kessler and Ward will all add half a million to there purse by selling 8,000 in there home towns so neutral would limit there revenue. They won't get more than 3,000 in Monaco. Nottingham and Berlin would of done 10k 3) If the Ward vs Dirrell fight takes place in October, they will of all had 3 fights within a year......effectivley 4 months apart. 4) Fair enough 5) The Ring award there vacant titles when the number 1 & 2 fighters face each other. Bute is current number 2. If Bute was in there, the winner would get the belt. The fight locations should of been set, other than that the format is perfect.
It was. Its part of Wards contract that he doesn't have to fight outside of the US. Its unfair but its what his promoter negotiated. Ward has agreed to fight in a neutral location......Dirrell hasn't......its Dirrell thats at fault here. Carl Froch yesterday said "If you leave the tournement, you have to retire"
And ****ing what..? So ****ing what..!!!!! How many times did Mike Tyson fight in one year, when he was ripping through the Heavyweight division, Mike Tyson at one stage fought every few weeks..? How many times did Henry Armstrong fight in the space of afew months, beating guys up..? I rekon Carl Froch would of been up for my concept.!! Boxers needed to grow some balls, and stop being such Primadonna's.............Every fight needs to be 2 months apart, a tournament should also be a test of endurance. If people start banging on about the saftey of fighters, well this is what also makes it entertaining the risk of it. With the fights so close together, you could set up a reality TV Show........nobody gonna want to watch a reality TV show, where the fighters fight every 150billion years. What the **** is that 360 show..? its a ****ing aload of ****. The SuperSixx is ****. I hate this topic...!!!
I thought you weren't going to post in the Brit forum any more? http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7230536&postcount=65
Did'nt Sugar Ray Leonard, say he was going to retire.......and come back again, after 4/5 years out of the game..? Did'nt Michael Jordon retire then come back again..? Did'nt Magic Johson retire then come back again....? That was then man, and this is now. I'm back..!
Woah woah woah, i agree with some points but lets not go all crazy and making rash statements...360 is in one word...awesome. :happy
