    But to them it's worth it. They wouldn't have it any other way. Neither fighter will never be in the p4p list, but this fight will be immortalized.

    You almost get a little emotional when you see guys put out like this. They are risking their very life.

    I am more a fan of technicians. Fights like the one last night are fun, but i would hate to see that all the time.

    Yeah. Damn right! :good


    Paul just had trouble sometimes releasing his inner-technician. But it was there, trust me. :lol:

    Hardly new to the sport kiddo.


    But honestly, I have never seen a fight quite like that one. What made it so unique to me is the amount of clean shots that Arakawa was taking, and how he was stunned badly in damn near every single round, but managed to shake it off and push him back to the ropes every single time, despite the fact that he didn't have a hint of power left.


    I know there have been a lot of continuous phone booth fights, but nothing where the one with the clear size and power advantage was getting bullied the entire fight.

    Forget about NBA. He started to watch sport when Punisher came along.

    Eat ****. I have watched a lot of boxing, long before Paul's career and will do so long after.

    I watched David Haye vs Wlad and was loving every minute of the fight cause it had been years since I saw that much skill in the ring. I can safely say about 10% percent of HBO or Showtime subscribers would echo that sentiment. HBO will have to conform if all Showtime is doing is putting on barn burners. Its no wonder guys like Rigo are getting shuttout. He'll be the short money co-main event on BAD for as long as this feud with showtime lasts.

    Count me in that 10%.


    I actually enjoyed that fight a lot. Everyone talks about how bad Haye performed because he didn't just rush in and allow himself to get jabbed to death for 11 1/2 rounds. It was a tactical fight that Haye almost changed in the 12th, but came up short. Neither man was all that willing to engage recklessly.


    I also enjoyed Zab-Floyd as much as any fight I've ever seen. To see Floyd getting his ass completely outslicked, and then adjust his style to apply pressure on Zab, who he could feel wearing down, is boxing entertainment on a different level altogether.


    :good

    The Rainford vs Sutherland fight was also very entertaining
