    Hoping to do something within the next few days, and hoping it will be the one where I received help from...

    His origin is the biggest mistery... some say he crashlanded with the same ship that brought B-Hop to this world.

    Good video.

    However, you still say his first name kind of weird. You don't have to put emphasis on the mid-syllable. Just say it quick, Gen-naw-dy.

    On the video,

    The difference is those guys couldn't get up. They stayed down and "flopped" or really were hurt. Lemieux got up. If he stayed down and put on a grammy winning performance past the 10 count then we could ask the question of disqualification.

    Do I think a point should've been taken away? Yes. Disqualified? No. Not unless he was KO'ed from the punch, which he wasn't.

    I'll likely never get it correct.

    OK. Your views seem representative of those most frequently expressed in conjunction with that video. I totally get what you're saying.

    I still think some consistency on this sort of thing would be helpful, however. I know the situations aren't totally identical, but if the main difference is that 3 stayed down while 1 got up, I think there needs to be a more universal application of a proper penalty in such instances - regardless of whether a fighter stays down or not.

    Take low blows, for instance. While most fighters usually don't take the 5 minutes, I think they all still rightly deserve a 5 minute break regardless of whether the low blow causes them to drop wincing in pain (like Golota-Bowe and/or Mares-Agbeko), or whether it's more of an incidental blow that didn't really find the spot that triggers massive pain.

    Thanks for watching! And for your feedback.

    :thumbsup

    I think all fighters should be in a position to protect themselves at all times and unless a slip happens as in the case with Dirrell vs Abraham where it'd make it impossible for the downed fighter to properly protect himself otherwise the decision shouldn't go beyond No Contest. You can't have a system so open to abuse where a fighter only needs to fake a knock out to win a fight.

    Boxed Ears, your timing is impeccable, your style is impetuous, your defense is impregnable, and you're just ferocious!

    Wlad by brutak KO.. we do not need another prediction threat. Fury will get retired in 24 days.

    Great stuff :good I agree with the prediction. Though I don't rate Fury as high as you do, I do think his only chance is to Close The gap and outmuscle Wlad without getting nailed with a big shot.

    Btw Adamek-Cunningham I is one of my favourite fights that I Watch occasionally. So after seeing a 6'1 190 lbs guy eating anything USS has to offer without a blink, It's almost impossible to imagind Fury getting off the canvas after getting nailed with one of the best left hooks of the history :lol:

    Thanks for watching! :good

    And yeah, I think we're mostly on the same page here. And it's not that I'm overly high on Fury, but I have taken notice, because if you would have told me back in 2011 pre-Chisora that he'd be undefeated in late 2015 going into a showdown against Wlad, I probably would have thought you were nuts. But he's stayed the course, and I do think he's improved a good deal since then.

    But if USS can time him with a big shot that levels him, and Wlad usually has an easy time finding the mark on larger foes - well, I don't think that bodes well for Tyson.
