Kostya was shot

Probably the most high profile, I couldn't be bothered to look further down the top 10's or the lower weights where I'm certain they make a lot of balls ups I must admit. It was quite an uneviable task you set me.

If they took my advice and corrected those major errors I mentioned they would be good. If I have time I'll document some more and write them out in Microsoft Word if they allow me enough pages, and im unsure my hard drive has enough space to save all the data

I could e-mail them I suppose.

 

Now that is actually a top resource, since we can't be expected to be as knowledgable on these times.

 

Yep, it was a hard task. I wasn't so much after 20 specific errors just a kind of ****/ OK/ Good type opinion..

I'm sure theres enough <ahem> "stuff" you can delete off your hard drive to make space?

 

Yep, thats a good find. Nice one.

 

Funny you should say that, I do have a folder named similar to stuff called "drasl" which is like "rubbish" on my desktop. There is nothing really suspect in it

Edit: It has one picture of Joe Calzaghe fully clothed but I don't see a problem with that

It would only be like Flint having a Colin Jones desktop wallpaper, or Trotter a.k.a Carpet Fitter a.k.a Raymond Hatton having a picture of his better more talented son

 

Yea, it is. They have a bit more on there from the main menu as well (as well as rankings): dating back to the 20's - boxers of the year - rounds of the year - covers etc...

I'm not sure how much use some of it is (ie covers), but worth a quick browse.

Those covers are outstanding

I've also just thought of a good game. Guess the man on the front cover of some of the old ones, but blocking out the name :good

An idea for my next thread.

 

Styles make fights. It's that simple. Kostya Tsyzu fought with an eastern european amatuer style that requires a bit of space and room to get his big bombs off. Hatton, on that night, wouldn't let Kostya breathe. It was perfect tactics. When put under that kind of up-close pressure Tsyzu struggles, you can see the same thing in his loss to Vince Phillips, and Hatton in 2005 is one of the best examples I can point out of a up-close, relentless pressure fighter.

You also have to figure into this Hatton's sheer will to win. He just would not give up. He walked through dozens of vicious right-hand bombs that would normally have left less determined fighters twitching on the canvas. That deserves A LOT of respect from any decent boxing fan. Give Hatton the credit he is due, he beat a legit P4P contender and futuer HOF'er and did it by stoppage in an incredibly brave and determined performance.

Was Kostya shot? well, the Sharmba Mitchell fight said to me that he was not shot, but I think the inactivity hurt him a lot. Against someone less determined the ring-rust may not have hurt him, but against Hatton it could've been a deciding factor.

Aussies just need to get over the fact that they're boy got beat. They're all terrible losers.

Any guesses? It's a tough one - no cheating please :hi:

 

I'm going with Max Baer, only for the title of the Jack Dempsey article at the bottom left.

 

not even close.

 

It is a British fighter.

A jew.

 

Benny Lynch? Don't know why that name popped in my head.

 

Nope, a little more obscure, but a great British fighter nonetheless.

He was a world light welterweight champion.

 

Jack Berg?
