    It's sad to see Riddick Bowe reduced to this, humiliated and in the shape he's in. He was one of heavyweight boxings best warriors.

    This is the Riddick Bowe that I prefer to remember

    It would be nice if, just for once, when we watch an ex-boxer making one of these crossovers, they don't come in looking the size of a bloody elephant.

    It's amazing how 2 people can age so differently. Look at a 43 year old Bowe and a 41 year old Wladimir Klitchsko. Klitchsko looks a million times better.

    Wladimir didn't have the wars that Bowe did. Also Wladimir kept himself in a lot better shape.

    Sad to watch, but why didn't Bowe just rush him and do an Elijah Tillery on him.

    The way the other guy celebrating you would have thought he had beaten a prime Bowe, he deserves knocking out for the celebration.

    In a way it was good that Bowe was so out of shape and did so poorly. If he was in any decent shape and did reasonably well, you know that he would have attempted a boxing comeback and that would be a incredibly sad thing to see.

    Yeah at this point, Bowe would just get hurt . I think he said in an interview that he believes he could beat Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury today!

    Not if this were 1992. A prime Bowe might have been able to beat any one of them. Today, Bowe would be seriously hurt or worse against any of them and a comeback wouldn't be in his best interest.

    Didn't someone Here say there was a rumour that there was talk about a possible third fight with Andrew Golota?

    Personally I don't think Bowe has the balls to sign up for another fight with Golota. :smoking:

    That's what I was thinking. I just wanted him to get inside the leg kicks, and smother him with punches on the inside and KO him

    It seemed very strange to me, i was gutted watching Bowe wince every time this guy kicked him, at on point Bowe seemed to not have a clue and was looking at the ref as if to say, come on man this **** hurts tell him to stop, very sad.
    I just don't understand why bowe didn't impose himself on the little fcuker and knock his ass out.

    He was probably too fat and out of shape to move. At least move quickly.

    Boxers do not have a chance when faced with a fighter who can kick. The whole idea of a sport where you are allowed to kick your opponent in the knees is somewhat disturbing.

    He tried rushing him numerous times but the smaller agile opponent was too quick to catch.
