Dorticos might be ruined for good

The problem with idiots like you is that... well, you are idiots.

 

I was obviously joking, he has a cast iron chin

 

The problem with posters like you that you are on the spectrum and cant detect sarcasm

 

gmurphy wins the sarcasm award.

Vote Putin sarcastic as well.

 

The obvious difference is Meldrick Taylor was actually winning his fight against an ATG until he was given horrible advice by Duva, told to attack when he should have coasted to a SD.

I mean, that has to be not only physically but mentally damaging to know you were 4 seconds away from retaining your belts against a legend like Chavez.

Pounding aside, edging that fight would have bettered his legacy and likely kept his confidence up.

 

Man he will be ok. Damn fighters can't lose anymore?

 

Gassiev has ruined or ended his last five opponents careers so why not Dorticos as well?

Wlodarczyk
Lebedev
Shimmel
Thomas
Core jr

 

Joshua v Parker may play out like Gassiev v Dorticos. Parker like Dorticos with ineffective somewhat looping punches hitting arms and guard, the Joshua like Gassiev with a tighter defense waiting for the opportunity it land those hard punches by picking the holes.

 

He’ll have some rice and beans and fried pork chops and walk it off. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.

 

Oh I totally agree mate,that his chin held up for twelve rounds speaks for his toughness but after that second knockdown his punch resistance will never be the same again.
It was awful to see him at the presser just after being KOd like that,emotionally he was shot to bits and I’ve no doubt it was to do with brain damage?

 

That's the best case scenario and one that I hope you're right on. Just impossible to know with this sport sometimes.

 

It's not like Cuba as a geographic location has something to do with their boxers' chins. And those black Cuban boxers are not aborigines of Cuba anyway — they are of African origins anyway, obviously. In fact, only about 10% of Cuban citizens are Afro-Cubans.
So if a lot of Cuban professional boxers nowadays have weak chin (have they?) it's not because water or air is different there it's just how Cuban boxing system works — which selection criteria they use.

 

I doubt it. I think it's Survivorship bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias).
