The butthurt is strong, get out of your basement, get a job, get a life.... You don't want to bore anyone? Then quit grandstanding an internet forum 24/7 and do something useful for once. No one gives a **** how popular or big a deal you think you are here.
Oh and for the record, Usyk parries better than Ali, who preferred to rely on his quick feet and rubber-necking, which served him fine in his prime but for him clipped more into the 70's. Usyk is also better at close-quarter navigation, though Ali's footwork is probably overall better (just specialized, more focused on "floating like like a butterfly"; Usyk's outside movement jus very good but Ali's was great). His overhand left is also delivered to its target in a sneakier manner and with better form than Ali's overhand right (though Ali's straight right trumps Usyk's left cross)
He is very good. However, Muller was able to find a home for the straight right too often. Muller would take a slight dip to his left and fire the straight right. usually landed.
Muller is no world beater in anyone's view, BUT he is a solid operator whose main area of focus (and certainly the sole point of concentration in his game plan for Usyk) is counter punching, mainly with that boom-pole right. I am slightly concerned by how many Usyk ate from Muller, and how consistently flush, but only slightly. At some point you have to give Muller credit for being good at the one thing in which he really excels, rather than disparage Usyk for it.
Why are you two at each others throats? I've only logged in and seen all this bad blood between the pair of you today, what happened to set you both off? What's the source behind this mutual hostility?
Because I exposed his sly and very subtle pro-Bosnian pro-Muslim anti-Ukrainian anti-Russian bias, I'm not the only one who's noticed it. So he decides to come at me because I don't think the Joshua-Savon robbery was the worst thing I've ever seen and he decides to attack me with some hair brained theory that he's come up with that I just happen become a Boxing fan when I signed up 2 years, yeah because most people only start following a sport the moment they register on a website about it. I guess that means you've only been a fan for 6 years, Right Serge? and all the articles and stats that you find and post is because YDKSAB and are just doing copy and paste jobs. But because he and some other guys want to sit and argue endlessly about style or fundamentals that means he's an ATG fan whose opinion should be valued over others, because he likes to get mired in the minutia on a forum where 90% of the poster have no idea what the hell he's talking about because he wants to showcase what an elitist he is and immaturely pretend like he's a better fan than they are in a childish game of one-upsmanship. His underlying snobbery couldn't be more apparent, he thinks he's exposed me because I didn't say the match he wanted me to say when he asked me a question. Instead of picking the obvious choice in Joshua-Savon, I went with two other more obscure cases of robbery in Gvozdyk-Niyazymbetov and Khytrov-Ogogo because I was fully expecting a "oh so you picked the one that everybody knew about" response from him. And he's like "I got you". I guess that's the new standard of being a Boxing fan by pompous assholes like him on here, you have to be a full fledged amateur boxing aficionado. What a d***. The fact is I've been a fan for as long as I can remember and yes I only started following the amateurs about 5 or 6 years ago I've never made a big secret about that, and I assume even you know that. But the last time I checked most Americans don't give near as much of a **** about amateur boxing as Europeans do, so that shouldn't be too shocking.
Yet you being the nasty ass angry bitter piece of garbage that you are ...sit on here and negatively attack everyone in sight because your life is going so well, you are as unpleasant a poster as there could be, you never ever have anything positive to say about anything or anybody, I even saw you go at Beastside Boxing the other day, who never does anything to anybody, I think its you who needs to get a life and stop being jealous that people actually care what some worthless loser like me has to say and yet they don't give a damn about what someone like you has to say. You really are a nasty piece of work and you really need to seek some professional help, because for someone like me who you seem to care so little for.... you oddly and obsessively read every post I make, now you tell me who the real weirdo is here.
I am with you CST80, I don't always agree with you but I enjoy reading your opinions and respect them :bbb Personally I love it that you stand up to such haters :good
I remember you two going at it in a thread a while back about what you said in the first sentence of your post but I thought you'd both sorted out your differences now? Why has it kicked off again? lol Regarding the length of time you've been a fan of the sport. Even if you have been a fan for only a few years (and I don't think that's true from my observations or the conversations I've had with you), what does it matter? I've been a hard core fan for over 20 years. I know exactly when it was I started buying boxing magazines because I remember which fight it was that piqued my interest (Nigel Benn vs Henry Wharton). But even then I was a fan of the sport for years prior to that. I used to love Mike Tyson in my teens and I remember I used to have to set my alarm for some ungodly hour in the middle of the night and drag myself out of bed bleary-eyed and utterly knackered to watch the his fights live. It took a lot back then for me to have to drag myself out of bed in the middle of the night. lol I used to remember talking about boxing in school with my mates - Hagler vs Leonard being the most prominent one I can think of. But it doesn't matter how long anyone has been a fan of the sport and I don't feel like I'm better than anyone who hasn't been following it as long as I have. However, that said, I do consider myself the best poster on this site though, as I'm no doubt sure most others do as well, whether they're prepared to admit it in public or not. That's not to say there aren't plenty of other high quality posters on here as well, it's just that they're not in my league and deep down I know they understand that they aren't too
I personally think the usa distainful attitude towards amatuer boxing is the driving force behind the decline in usa amatuer boxing and is really starting to effect the pro scene now When ever you destroy and don't invest and maintain a good grassroots system your destined for failure, when you then are happy to have the attitude that the am's don't matter you are contributing to a culture that will lead to a lack of success in the future
Lmaoooooo This whole post is cringeworthy, you really should take Simplythebest's advise bro You were snarky when I said Wlad would have a hard time knocking out Ali, so I piggybacked off Vytovsy's post about you being a newcomer to the sport It's just an Internet forum dude, not that serious. Those of us who are boxing fanatics post here to see the news and follow the sport, not to push anti Ukrainian anti Russian pro muslim agendas 😂😂😂 Edit: and yes I am very pro Bosnian and proud of it. Going through a rough patch as far as boxing is concerned, but if we beat Belgium in soccer on thursday, all is forgiven 👍
For what its worth I think you're one of the best too Serge.:good And most aren't on your level.:deal But you're not an ass about it. I've been a fan since I saw Marvis Frazier get KTFO by Tyson as a kid, and I've always tried my best to maintain that childhood innocence in being a fan, because when you think too much about the details and the minutia it takes you out of the sport a little and makes you an analyst, which I don't want to be, I'm a fan I know my role and I want others to be a fan just like me which is why I promote fighters the way that I do on here, I don't do it in some heavy handed obnoxious way, even the Educate Yourselves moniker I've come up with, I'm telling people to educate themselves, I'm not the educator, I'm only the messenger.:deal I love the emotional aspect of the sport, all the reason you have to root for certain fighters and against others, good vs evil, honor, valor... all the stuff that I bring with me from the other things I'm a fan of like film and music. There is no sport that is easy to get emotionally involved with than two men hitting each other in the face trying to prove who the better and more skilled man is. Its beautiful in its simplicity. When you get too caught up in details you lose focus on the real reason you became a fan to start with....I like seeing guys beat the **** out of each other.:hey:yep
America still has a boatload of boxing schools, just not as much as before. This is a growing trend in other sports too, American football participation at a youth level fell off big time. I think in 15-20 years America will be a soccer nation with the way things are heading.
