Loved Frank Bruno. He has one of my favorite moments when asked about the people he fought, he said: I boxed Tyson twice and Lennox Lewis once and I would rather fight Lewis five days a week than face Tyson once a year
Hatton/Tszyu was terrible. Tszyu was still game and kept it close. Had there been a better ref I think he would have taken a clear decision.
I couldn't celebrate beating a man by his body breaking down in injury in front of me like I'd just scored a massive win. It was pathetic.
Yep, Fury v Wilder 1. A story of redemption, renewal and outrageous odds overcome. Possibly the greatest comeback story of all time, one that would live for centuries. And they turned it into a draw.
Fair enough lol. Do you have any Deathmask fights to recommend? I've only seen the Tatsuyoshi fights.
Maybes not but at the same time its one of his biggest wins and despite Hayes broken body, he was the one conning the public by fighting when he 100% knew he wasnt fit to do so. Hayr was a heavy favourite going into fight one and Bellew was written iff by most people including hardcore fans. Not his fault Haye wasnt capable if fighting, thats on Haye. Haye should have been set for life years before this, for Bellew he probably wasnt until this fight. Thats as much worthy a celebration than anything, would you not celebrate winning the lottery.
I wouldn't celebrate winning the lottery like i'd just legitimately scored the winner in a world cup final no. Bellew also talked such a big macho pre fight game and was still scared stiff of Haye right up until he was completely disabled before heading in to any kind of meaningful engagement in the fight. He was a ***** before, during and after the fight.
He does that before every fight as do most boxers. If you consistently fall for it then the only sucker is yourself.
So I'm a sucker for be consistently annoyed by a man choosing to be consistently annoying? OK. It's not like I'm expecting him to live up to his actually live up to his BS, I just think it makes him an *******.
Never feed Fury's fire. Put him into a mindset and super saiyan state that won't dissappear in till he gets rid of AJ If they gave Fury the W he probably would be dancing around the ring flicking his jab around still taking wide 12 round decisions against Wilder and AJ...but he's become a destroyer who won't take any nonsense because they chose to rob him. Wallin fight was crucial to realize he wasn't doing things right. Dropping weight is no good for him.
Its not like hes the only one Fury says hes gonna goninnand knock everyone out before every fight then generally just boxes to a decision against anyone dangerous. Fair play he did it in the 2nd Wilder fight but thats the exception. Hes just said hes gonna KO Joshua in 1 round, its just talk to sell the casuals. No one really bought into Bellews self hype bar the casuals so why you mad about it?
