    If Sylvester handles Simon with relative ease, will Arthur's supporters finally admit that LuJaun Simon is not the undiscovered jewell of Philidelphia?

    Depends on what you call relative ease.

    The fight is in Germany.Wouldn't surprise me if they have a even fight and it's scored 120-108 Sylvester.

    As you know styles make fights.Every dog has its day,and every top fighters takes a day off now and the.AA had a tough time with Simon.He deserved to be the victor over Simon.Thats for sure! But he didnt show a very convincing show of boxing,he didnt dominate Simon the way an outstanding middle weight fighter was expected to.
    I am not sold on Slyvester at all.He cant crack an egg with his soft punches,and his chin isnt the best out there either.
    He struggled with mediocre opposition.Simon is not a huge underdog in my opinion.I,too,bet my money on Sylevester,but wont be surprised to watch Simon outpoint the German.
    Anyway!

    You keep trying to belittle AA.I have no clue why! Pavlik is a great fighter,and so is AA.
    I know that you are a big Pavlik fan.Nothing wrong with that!
    But AA plays in the same league.They have to fight each other in order to be a top p4p fighter or an all time great.
    I have no idea who of this pair would be victorious.Could really go either way.

    Not a bad fight to have as your undercard. I haven't seen much of either fighter other than some highlights but from what I do know they are both competent fighters who should put on a good show.

    Slyvester vs Simon was a midly interesting fight to watch. Simon wasnt active enough and didnt take enough risks to beat Slyvester on his home turf.He hurth the German in round 11,but he needed a ko in order to win today's fight.


    I am not sold on Sylvester at all,but if AA moves to super middle he will fight Lorenzo for the vacant world title.Lorenzo plays in Simon 's league.
    Sylvester the new middle weight champ!:patsch
    Pirog would have slaughtered both Slyvester and Simon today.

    I hate to rub it in Odo, but this cat that just lost took 4 rounds off Arthur.

    Oral ? 4 rounds? Nah! You are too generous,booradley!

    AA usually tends to give away the early rounds of his fights against this mobile type of opponent.So what?

    I watched their encounter live and truly had a lot of fun watching it! Great and lively atmosphere in the arena,very noisy and supportive fight crowd,great arena! Very impressive!

    On top of that all I had a very good laugh while watching German based Bosnian cruiser weight Licina fight his outstandingly game and entertaining Mexican opponent.A flamboyant,braggy,pudgy,and talkative Mexican clubfighter who didnt want to leave the ring walking through ring like a caged tiger hoping for more and more applaus.Damn! The Mexican dude was pure fun to watch.He has won a new fan:me!:D
    If Licina had a tiny bit of the Mexican#s charisma he would be a superstar by now.

    I meant Simon took 4 rounds off Arthur, and then lost to Sylvester.
    And ya, I'm aware that AA is a slow starter. He likes to study his opponents for a few rounds before he goes to work. That's one of the reasons Pavlik will knock AA out. It's pretty hard to study a guy who is beating the **** out of you.

    Yep! He did! You are right in saying this!
    Anyway! AA would murder Slyvester,Simon's conqueror in today's fight.

    2 days ago Pirog schooled Jantuah from pillar to post teaching him a lesson in boxing beating him black and blue in the course of 12 totally one-sided rounds.
    Jantuah made the water very hot for AA in their encounter.

    Despite of this all AA has knocked almost all of his opponents out.He hasnt lost a single fight up to now.He had a day off against Simon.**** happens!
    Slyvester beat Simon,too.But who really wants to bet his money on Slyvestr or on Pirog against AA?
