Boss
we know each other for 12 years now
your quote
about losing respect for Povetkin
couldn't disagree more with you
this reminded me of the old days
fighters take care of other fighters
Povetkin took care of Price
he gave him the chance of a good payday and a quality win
it did not work out for David
but i am sure he is thankful for the chance the Russian gave him
i think you are a bit emotional
because
David is a warrior with a good heart
who we all wanted to succeed

Was heartbreaking when Price was hammered down for the first time and then hitting angry to the floor.
One of the best and emotional scenes in boxing in 2018.

 

Hurd UD

 

Mora SD

 

looks like Hurd is ahead on the voting here. interesting

 

I originally picked Hurd, withdrew it, and i've just finished Trout/Hurd and I'll wait to the weigh-in to decide, but i'm thinking Lara takes this

 

I'm changing to Truax UD.

 

I have to make another switch after watching a lot of recent fights of both.

Please change From Quinlan KO to Hooper TKO.

I might think Hooper is too big and strong for Quinlan. Quinlan moving up in weight looks not that good because he wasn't even fast at SMW and now even heavier it won't be better at all. Also Hooper looks really aggressive in his last fights, i can not see Quinlan handling that well, especially with being smaller naturally. Hoopers chin might be suspect and full of glass but i think chance that he will knock out Quinlan is bigger than in reverse.

 

Interesting research and points, f1ght3rz.

 

A true believer!

 

Hooper officially has a 6′7 reach. This is enormous. He was able to dictate and control Salamov who has a 6′3 height AND reach compared to Hoopers 6′0 height. Salamov was naturally the bigger man at the exact same weight (both weigh in at 174lb) but was still not able to control because of the enormous reach of Hooper.
Quinlans height and reach are unlisted but in the Eubank Jr fight he looks similar to him, maybe a bit smaller, so he is definitely under 5′10. No idea about the reach but i expect a huge advantage for Hooper in terms of size, reach and physique in general.

 

And let's be fair here. The best win for Quinlan was knocking out Geale but Geale was absymal. As a middleweight boxer in mid30s fighting at 159lb in his entire career moving up 8-10lb and fighting as a super middleweight out of shape without any speed (hand/foot) you should not wonder getting knocked out by the heavier man. I doubt we can take this seriously because now Quinlan is moving up and not fighting a guy who is moving up.
