My thoughts on Calzaghe-Sheika

Been a while since I watched that fight, but come on man, a bloke who has a huge cut on his face dropping his defence because he knew they were going to stop it? Wouldn't the more sensible and logical thing be to defend yourself until they stop it? Drop your offence, yes, but your defence?

 

Premature.

You don't stop a fight when both guys are punching. Sheika was not wobbled badly nor did he show any obvious signs of being seriously hurt. Heck even when the ref stepped in he was practically punching.

Its like Manfredo in that it was probablly going that way but you still can;t just stop it like that.

 

Like I said, it's been a while since I watched this fight, but FFS, Sheika was bleeding like a stuck pig, and one of his eyes was ****ed up badly.

The ref stopped it because Sheika could have suffered permanent damage.

It was not premature.

 

I shall watch the fight again this weekend - I do not recall Calzaghe in particular being guilty of headbutting - I do recall a lot of heads together while Sheika was on the ropes, but if there was any foul play I think they were both guilty of it, and Sheika just came off second best.

Regardless, the fight was stopped because Sheika was so badly cut.

 

this **** is dumb CALzaghe was going to whopp him either way just like manfredo

 

Sheika was getting his ass handed to him on a silver platter. That you think that constitutes Calzaghe getting outboxed is utterly beyond belief.atsch

 

Were you watching the fight wearing your DANEVISION (tm) glasses?

 

shieka is the man!

 

Premature yes, Calzaghe getting totally outboxed...:think

What fight was you watching... Calzaghe was doing a number on Sheika.

 

You are slowly developing into a nuthugging fanboy. Your rage towards danes and Kessler makes you type stupid things like this.

"Manfredo wasnt hurt but I could se that he was about to get hurt, which clearly justifies stopping the fight. The ref could have stopped it 2 seconds into the first round and it would still be a perfect stoppage."

Hey- we dont want fighters to get hit and hurt, do we? Jeez:blood

 

haha - Calzaghe was up on all three judges cards by at least 2 rounds. I had Calzaghe up at that point also. Outboxed?? They must term that differently where you live! Sure, Sheika got through with a couple of nice power punches but they hardly touched Joe. This was also around the time of Joe's lacklustre performances. In the 5th, Calzaghe stood toe to toe and Sheika was missed wildly whilst getting nailed himself. Sheika kept taking BIG shots square in his face. The stoppage was maybe 15 seconds early but saved Omar from a beating.
