    What an utter load of crap this fight was. Lawrence is (in the heavyweight division) a power puff, mosquito bite, slapper. Can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag and it took Rahman 10 rounds to finally catch up with him.

    It certainly says zilch for Rahman's future plans in this division.

    Unless they intend feeding him losers!

    :lol:

    This types of fight should not even be put in the fighters' resume

    Rahman looked awful - he was losing that fight until he got a lucky last minute save from the ref. Not only that, it looked like Lawrence shook his fragile whiskers a couple of times.

    He's a KO waiting to happen, again - nothing more.

    Joe Mesi is going to knock Rahman out. Jack Mesi has been calling for this fight since Mesi's entire come back.

    I've never thought much of Mesi, but his chin is granite compared to Rahman's. I would pick Mesi to starch him within 5 rounds.

    I wouldn't go THAT far. In Rahman's defense I can honestly say that he's been KTFO by shots that would've KOed just about anybody. Mesi on the other hand was almost decapitated by blown-up cruiser Jirov.

    I don't buy this line of thought at all. How do we know that?? The only thing we know is the shots were enough to render Rahman unconscious - and in one case, knock him right the f*ck out of the ring. The common denominator here is Rahman's grade A china chin - worst in the division among rated fighters since Herbie Hide.

    But you're right, I probably did overstate Mesi's punch resistance. Let's just say Rahman's chin makes his look "sturdy." :lol:

    Joe Mesi aint ****. He hasn't fought a top 50 fighter in 5 years. As shitty as Rahman is, at least he's fighting good fighters.

    Mesi-Klitschko is what I want to see, so he'll go the **** away forever.

    Come on now.. you can't look at the shots that Lennox Lewis or Maskaev KOed him with and tell me that those weren't ridiculously hard shots. Forget about that fact that Lewis and Tua are known big punchers.

    You can't prove that just by LOOKING at a punch. The bottom line on Rahman is not only has he been knocked out 4 times, he's been knocked the **** out every time. Guys with good chins don't get starched that bad so many times. Rahman's chin is MUCH worse than Wlad Klitschko, who people CONSTANTLY ride for having a "glass jaw." Holy moly, Wlad's chin is rock solid compared to Rahman's!! :patsch

    Rahman should fight Tua next. Get rid of one of them (preferably Rahman). They both need to step it up a bit.

    Based on both their last performances you'd have to say McCline wins this easy.
