martinez takes 1.4 million for chavez fight

you think the same exact thing doesn't happen to brits and kiwi's over here? atsch

 

I'd say it would be less likely, as neither are so loud, arrogant, obnoxious and full of spiteful hatred as the average Australian.

Actually thinking about it, it's probably more likely, but over there it would be unprovoked Aussie "tough guys" 5 on 1 unprovoked attack on tourist types

nice work "hard men"

 

people are inherently cockheads completely independent of creed or colour, your inability to recognise this and incorrectly racial profile us is laughable. Why even say something like that in the first place, it's not you yourself who is beating these "arrogant aussies" up, and you are spruking this on an internet forum, where your credibility is next to nothing, so therefore your argument has no merit and the only possible conclusion that i can extract from your weak arguments is that you sir, are a ****.

 

I don't give a shot what my "credibility" on this forum is.

9 times out of 10, it is the Australians who are the ones spouting off, look at any sports thread involving the UK in the lounge, it takes only a few post before one of your lot is in there, giving it the "pommy ******" "soap dodging scum" or whatever other tired old tripe they **** out.

As soon as someone fires back it's "oh G'day mate, can't take a joke eh" like it's ok when you say it but not in reverse.

I am tired of your bull****, and if any Aussie tries it on me in real life i tell them they are ****ing boring and to change the ****ing record, because they are coming across as a typical arrogant aussie *****. and if they want to "fight" because of that, fine then i'll test what they are made of, but so far all ive got back is exactly what i get on here "oh take a joke brah"

Oh, i'll take a joke, but when you've said it 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 times, it's no longer funny.

 

who else besides wide open road refers to the english as soap dodging scum :huh. Sure you get the stupid aussie bogans who use racist stereotypes to pile **** on people, but isn't that exactly what you were doing before when you were talking about how we are all arrogant and obnoxious etc, that's just blatantly hypocritical. As i said before, you get cockheads in every single race, in fact it is probably the one thing that ties all races together, the existence of cockheads, but to come on to the australian forum and constantly goad us about our boxing prowess and our fighters, then make claims like those in your post above is downright ridiculous and the definition of hypocrisy yet again. Get a life and maybe you'll make some international friends

 

I've got plenty of international friends.

I can tell from your posts you seem like a level headed guy, i have no issue with you.

If i have a go at the "bad apples" don't take it personally.

Martinez would KO Geale though, sorry that's nothing against Australia or Geale, Martinez is just class above, anyone except Golovkin he stops.

 

Besides the fact that the fight isnt going to happen here, i tend to agree it wouldnt work in Sydney anyway.
1. boxing has been ****ed is Aus by scummy promoters
2. The layman has no idea about real boxing. They are not around it, dont live it, and only know whats fed to them through fox.
3. Unfortunately, the general public are mainly aware of the 2 pretenders.
4. There is no money here
5. There are few sponsors that will back boxing in Aus at a domestic level, let alone this type of fight.
6. Gary shaw Said no
7. etc etc etc

 

nothing taken personally, i just don't like to see a whole group of people being misjudged because of like you said, a few bad apples :good
Yeah i tend to agree with you, martinez is an extraordinary fighter, and he has the power and speed to beat geale.

 

Ok mad earl what do u make of ward vs calzaghe???

 

It is a tough one for me, Andre Ward looks "unbeatable" right now, but we all know that no such concept exists.

The top Fighters we have seen him in with:

Froch - Slow as molasses
Abraham - Small, slow, inactive
Kessler - not quick, straight lines, predictable
Dawson - weight drained, mentally fragile, poor movement.

All four of the above had A) LOST B) had GLARING FLAWS and C) Can only fight ONE WAY

A guy like Calzaghe, can you tell me, even now what were his flaws? He can switch his game mid fight, make adjustments better than those above, he would beat all of the above AT LEAST as impressive as Ward did, if not more so.

I see Froch and Abraham getting the Jeff Lacy treatment tbh, That Version of Kessler would do much worse, and Chad Dawson would have no more luck than he did against Ward.

I can tell you, Andre Ward does not have the stamina to do 12 rounds at pace, Joe Calzaghe does, Andre Ward tired late against Froch, Calzaghe would make ward fight at a MUCH higher pace.

I see it as a fight of three sections

Early - Joe wins early rounds while Ward Adapts

Middle - Ward Adapts, begins to win rounds

End - Calzaghe Switches Gears, Ward is Tired, Calzaghe takes late rounds.

So to me, the question is what is the split.

Calzaghe only needs to take the first 3 rounds and the last 4, and he's won the fight, Ward can have the 5 in the middle.

What is the split?

 

1.4 million is the official purse - it doesnt mean its all he is getting paid - factor in a cut of ppv and you can bet he goes home with a lot more.

 

I'd say thats the case.

 

Could not of said it better myself. Exactly!!
