Harry Joe Yorgey - the comeback!

Oh newbs.

I enjoy the fact that you just showed up here, and try to talk to someone like me, implying I don't know what the **** I'm talking about here.

Obviously you didn't take the time to read any of my other posts, or try to understand why I said, what I said.

Thank you for your in depth debating ability, which will make you a poster worth talking to, in your future (or lack there of) on ESB.

 

Yorgey was built up to eventually fight for a decent payday.One must presume he received one with Angulo.To think he can ever compete with the elite of this weight division is being dishonest to Yorgey and the fans.
He just isn't a A class fighter.The sooner you recognise this the better for Yorgey.

 

He wasn't really built up for anything. I don't think many people expected him to beat Ronald Hearns even, and LeHoullier was the guy being touted more when the two of them fought.

Good luck to Harry Joe. I'm in the camp that doesn't think he's a world class fighter (granted, only having seen three of his fights) and is more of a good domestic guy, but if K-9 can win a title, then he might be able to as well.

All of this talk about how he should call it quits seems silly to me. If everyone retired once it became apparent they wouldn't be one of the best in the world, then there'd be nobody to fight. And if everyone retired after one brutal pounding (after taking very little damage before then, as far as I can tell), then that would probably wipe out the few guys who are left.

 

if a guy is hungry let him fight. till he doesn't want anymore. people saying guys should retire after a bad loss is very typical. and being to quick to judge theres a lot to improve on.

but that being said the way angulo disposed of him was really devastating. and to me showed his lack of real defensive mastery. i think he is a top 30 fighter in what division he choses. but he would most probably just be bulldozed, but his stock has risen with the hearns sturm match up. so he might be in demand.

 

I've seen Yorgey fight in person at least a dozen times in and around Philly and always puts on a good fight. A really nice guy as well. I've even seen him fight threw a dislocated jaw i believe, and still won and fought thru it.

I do admit I wasn't sure his chances on stepping up the competition but he had continued to improve, i was wondering why he hasn't fought since the Angulo match and he has nothing to be ashamed of, same fate took another fun philly fighter rosado just before. Yorgey just didn't have the power to keep him off.

looking forward to seeing him back in action. i thought i read on boxrec they listed him on the cunningham germany card saturday.

 

So pretty much, you expect to post things & thoughts about Yorgey, on a boxing forum, where people debate(or what you'd call a pissing match) everything about boxing 24/7, and expect no one to post thoughts that contradict yours?

Or if people do post thoughts contradictory to yours, youre automatically gonna go into sarcastic mode?

Be more open minded if your going to post here, you'll find you can get alot more interesting insight from some very boxing knowledgeable people here that way.

 

A spade is a spade then.

And I never meant I thought Yorgey is garbage or anything, he deff has potential. And if his ankle was the reason for some bad performances, hopefully it has healed well, and will not bother him anymore.

Btw Is Yorgey's fight on espn going to be a televised undercard?

 

would he take a fight with james kirkland for 85 grand

 

Nice, so Yorgey is looking to stay busy then? If so, I think that will only be of benifit, and hopefully move your team to something bigger alot faster.

Haha, and yea, the truce is in effect . I'm not really a hard guy to get along with on here, as long as I know someone isn't talking out of their ass, you know?
