    Let me have fun, another big win is coming up in November!:happy

    His style is incredibly entertaining though, you have to admit that one.

    You hope so, I know so. I'm just starting to get a little more pumped up about this bout everytime I think of it.:good


    I just rewatched the Byron Mitchell fight, two things I noted -

    Byron Mitchell was just coming off of a bad robbery against Ottke, but aside from that he was as refined as he'd be in his career and it's too bad he didn't stick around, he'd have had a great shot at sparking a joke like Beyer and getting another belt. The guy was entertaining, I need to find his fight with Girard and see if that was a legitimate loss, his two bouts with Siaca were entertaining also.

    Second thing was that it was a good scrap for 2 rounds! Mitchell landed a wicked temple shot that spun Joe's head around after a brutal first round where Mitchell was able to time some nasty right hands in and a few left hooks but just got mauled for the remainder, surprising he survived because Joe was absolutely winging shots freely. Then the ending where Joe jumps up after the KD and brutalises him until the ref stops it, which in my opinion was a decent stoppage and I don't get why people complain about it.

    Good stuff mate! I've been up 24 hours, I'm kind of delirious!:lol:

    Sometimes I get this horrible feeling that it's come to late for Calzaghe. But then again he's never really been battered around by anyone, he could be one of these guys that just doesn't get old. Like B-Hop.




    Get some shut eye my friend.

    He still has 80% of his physical gifts, still had most of his footspeed in the Manfredo fight... and I am not judging from limited Manfredo, I have the fight recorded and I was literally comparing the movement speed to that of the Lacy fight and it's right there really. Most people have agreed that the Calzaghe of the Lacy bout would tear Kessler to pieces, I think it'll be close enough.

    The comfort is knowing that he'll get up 100% in motivation for Kessler, as it will be his #1 signature win if he trashes this guy in a one sided massacre, which he will.


    Work in two hours, using the PC to keep me awake until I can get some extra incentive to stay up, plus I'm loading on coffee. God help me.:patsch

    Tyson, Whitaker, Mayweather, Jones, Hopkins, Duran. These are the guys I like to practice emulating in the gym, depending on my mood.
