People Getting Carried Away With Some Recent 168 Performances...

woulda coulda shoulda......will can should...

these types of threads are boring.

 

Kessler couldn't really have done much more @ SMW.
AA & Ward both look impressive but beatable to me.
I've rated Bute for years but he's also beatable but the best SMW right now IMO

 

ESB is fickle. Its mostly because alot of posters cant predict a fight for ****, so when something happening like Manny dominating Cotto(I had Pacquiao scrapping Cotto in 5) they act all surprised like its amazing that it happened. Either because they really are dense or because they want to hide their own lack of prediction making skills.

Ward vs Kessler and Bute vs Andrade were incredibly easy fights to call.

 

So you predicted that Bute would stop Andrade early, and that Ward would shut Kessler out?

I suppose you picked Douglas over Tyson as well.

 

froch did knock someone out, he knocked taylor out.. i hate froch im just saying

 

andre ward will win the tournament mark my words

Yep, I picked Ward to beat Kessler easy. Want me to bump the thread? As for Bute vs Andrade. I've been calling Andrade a walking punching bag since day one and pointed out he has to block punches with his face because his arms get numb. Bute dominated him in the first fight. KO;ing him the 2nd time is a little suprising, but not anything that couldnt have happened when a fighter has absolutely no defense partly because of an arm disorder.

 

Kessler beat Beyer, Andrade, Mundine, then didnt take a beatdown of Jeff Lacy proportions vs Calzaghe for this he was considered the #1 guy.

Bute gets KTFO va Andrade after being ahead in the 12th the first fight. Then comes backs and beats Andrade a guy who is easy to hit and slow and whose one redeeming quality is he takes a good punch in the second fight.

does this somehow propel you to Carlos Monzon or Marvin Hagler proportions No, or Michael Spinks or Evander Holyfield proportions

168 is really a bull**** division a refuge for guys not good enough to be middle weights or with sufficient balls to be Lightheavies.

 

And we have a winner! Like I said last night Bute victory over the punching bag was incredible. Maybe he'll fight Sartisan and we'll really be wowed by his skills.

I come on ESB to learn and discuss about boxing but when I read comments like yours, I got to say to myself that it's not everyone that understand that sport the way they should... Please, stop being a hater. If the supermiddleweight division sucks like you say, there's no good division in boxing (exception made for the welterweight). Point blank. Please think before you write something...atsch

 

I was gonna say, half the light heavyweight champions are guys who couldn't get a belt at 168.
