pittsburgh phil Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ivan Drago is training for a fight with Apollo Creed's son by the looks of it. Might get to see him kill somebody else yet. If he dies he dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I didnt go back at all. I realised once he started banging on about Conor having the greatest defence I didn't say he had the greatest defence, fella, I just said that Connor has a better defence than Mayweather due to his UFC training.

pittsburgh phil Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm thinking why stop at Mayweather? A tasty victory and the world's his oyster. Bulk up a bit and tackle GGG, bit more and surely Andre Ward or Kovalev are just waiting to be shown the way of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think the resentment of "casuals" in boxing is because I don't think there is any other sport out there that the general public pay absolutely no attention to on a weekly basis yet suddenly become "experts" once or twice a year (maybe track and field) when an event gets a huge amount of media interest- this media interest is almost always a result of the skills in the sportsman's communication and controversy attracting skills rather than his sporting ability. It is frustrating to have people repeating media lines like parrots- especially when you know the media either don't have a clue or else have a vested interest in trying to make you believe something that is not true. It is frustrating when 'casuals' believe their insights to be as valuable as yours, when you watch boxing on a daily basis and have done for years. It's frustrating when these experts are captivated by a freak show mismatch but show no interest in genuinely exciting match ups like Kovalev Vs Ward or GGG vs Canelo next month. It's frustrating that there is so much good boxing and entertainment and skill out there but it's overlooked because people are far more interested in personalities.

John Lambies Doos Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 AUFC90 getting absolutely ragdolled here. If this sort of battering was to happen on Saturday night, the ref will step in immediately. I don't see why.Mcgregor has absolutely no chance in a boxing match against Mayweather. Far too many on this thread believing the hype that is being spewed through Sky to make a few bob. As long as strict boxing rules are adhered to Mayweather will win comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibsFan Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Few people showing themselves up as not knowing much about contact sports. My late grandfather worked in the boxing industry, and I had the honour to meet some of the greats. Frazier, Ali, Hatton, you name them. They all admitted to me that their sport was a sham, and that, if a UFC fighter wanted a boxer's lunch money, they could easily take it off them.

Far too many on this thread believing the hype that is being spewed through Sky to make a few bob. As long as strict boxing rules are adhered to Mayweather will win comfortably McGregor's heat seeking missile of a left hand is perfectly legal within boxing rules though m8, and when it lands, and it will, it's night night time for old man Floyd.

Dominique Malonga Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 OK. Guess we will see That we will. Problem is when Conor wins what does he do next, does he stay in boxing and unify the division(basically where the money is) or go back to UFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a boxing match relevant to somebody taking another person's lunch money? Couldn't work in a boxing match anyway, they don't have pockets to carry change around with them. You're wasting everyone's time here with this trolling, if you want to talk seriously about it then we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I don't profess to know much about either sport, but a boy at my work today likened this to the world's best badminton player going up against Roger Federer, at tennis, on grass.

Depends, if the badminton player has insane power in his left hand, got the whole of Ireland behind him and if he's an animal, then the shuttlecock is in his court so to speak.
