    no, it hasnt, and you know very well it hasnt, and you know very well what im asking now. i dont know if you think youre clever and in your mind somehow youre masterfully sidestepping the obvious without getting your shoes dirty, but this is just becoming a measure of how little backbone you actually have.
    now, again, why would you ask ME specifically, if i meant the lounge when talking about the real world? and why would you compare the lounge to the real world? you obviously had something to say about the situation when it was someone elses conversation, well now you have the mic and im interested in what you felt you needed to say so bad that you would throw that at me out of the blue. say what you have to say, like a man would say things, that needed to be said.

    Outlaw cigerettes, racecar driving, cars, motorcycles and alchohol, then we can have a serious conversation about banning boxing. Until then, hush your bubbling lips!

    Maybe there should be an age limit set, too many fighters like RJJ, Wlad, and Steveson keep fighting when completely shot and get brutally KOed.

    Would you say Stevenson was competely shot though? Looked a good fight to me.

    Age shouldn’t be the deciding factor. An in-depth medical checkup to clear the fighter once a year. If they pass they fight.

    I think Gvozdik is a tricky guy. He let Stevenson think that he has a chance, but this whole time he was waiting for him to gas, and once he felt Stevenson is done he walked right through him.
    If referee wasn't stopping the fight, Adonis' corner should have thrown in .the towe

    Don't be so sensitive, Mendoza. If I had a nickel for every persons death I've mocked I'd be a millionaire. It's just humor, and this is America.

    Stevenson looked old compared to the other guy. If he had not landed in an induced coma he should have retired immediately anyway.

    the only thing i know is your overreaction to a joke contrasting an internet discussion forum with real life.

    It must have hurt you bad to have a joke at your expense - yet if i apologise for making a harmless joke then it'll make you look like a little self obsessed emo kid.
    Obviously I dont wish to make u look even worse than u are now, but if u really need an apology about making an internet/reality joke i'll do so.

    Either option is good to me as it will bring an end to your rant in a thread about someone who nearly died,. kinda disrespectful. But neither option serves u well.

    Stevenson was up on the cards he wanted to keep going to get the win

    Those cards were horrible. Far worse than the one card against Fury. And the ref had ignored at least one previous knockdown (in the first, I believe).

    I'm sure he didn't actually know he was up on the cards, but he thought he could win the fight. I agree with you that he wanted to keep going for the W.

    Fighters take this risk. Baseball players face 100 MPH pitches, rugby and football players take repeated shots to the head, and downhill skiers are absolutely insane, a tragedy waiting to happen every run.

    Nobody makes these guys sign contracts to fight for our entertainment. Are there times I feel uneasy as a fan, like I'm supporting something wrong? Yes, there are. Roy Jones fighting after the Tarver/Johnson KOs, for example. I couldn't support that.

    Generally, when a tragedy happens I blame the corner. They should have the fighter's long term health in mind. In this case, the end happened so quickly that there's nobody to blame.

    This.

    It makes me laugh. Men (and some women) will always want to fight for money. Other men (and some women) will always want to watch men fight.

    Banning boxing isn't going to magically stop it, only it will be without medical staff on standby resulting in more deaths.
