thesweetscience Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I don't know how you score the fight 118-110 for canello. I don't have a problem with the fight being a draw but that judge should never judge a prize fight again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem with the fight being a draw but that judge should never judge a prize fight again.She's always getting it wrong (getting paid off). I saw the fight for Triple G i thought he took over in round 4, Canelo looked gassed during the middle rounds but then came back in 11 and 12. I scored it 8-4 in rounds for Golovkin. I gave Canelo rounds 2 and 3 and 11 and 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple G didn't find his best timing, he still landed some good punches but not absolute clean full power shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Andre Ward retires. I am a little surprised because he isn't that old but he really doesn't have much else to prove either. Go out on top. I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out on top. I get it.When they start talking about retirement (after the first Kovalev fight) you know their heart isn't 100% in it anymore. I just hope none of these fighters who have retired recently, Ward, Marquez, Bradley, Mayweather, come back 4 or 5 years down the line for more paydays because they blew their money and end up tarnishing their legacy.

Andre doesn't strike me as a dumb person or a reckless guy so I doubt he does. Not sure about the other two but I am with you, it would be nice to not have to remember Ali vs. Holmes or Tyson vs Lewis. Sometimes its good to go out on top.

So I think they'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these guys (except Bradley) should be in as first ballot inductees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesweetscience Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 This just in! The Heavyweight boxing division is a joke. That is all. Anthony Joshua’s suspect chin is a joke. He showed zero heart. After the third round he didn't look interested in fighting anymore, and he didn't seem to care about losing in the post fight activities. None of this current crop of heavyweights would have survived the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Deontey Wilder is a joke too. He has one punch and next to no boxing skill. Tyson Fury might be the best heavyweight in the world right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he took guys seriously he was hard to hit. Did you think Joshua looked anything less than embarrassing last night? The punches that hurt him were highly suspect. Guy can't take a punch at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy can't take a punch at all. He looked lacking in stamina. He’s probably a flat track bully.Thing is against Klitschko he took two rounds to recover after that knockdown, for a while he looked away with the fairies. Against Dilian Whyte he was shaken badly and again seemed to take an overlong time to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilder couldn’t knock out Fury, Fury’s a journeyman and Dilian Whyte was flattened by Joshua but is somehow a challenger again.When I see the likes of Lomachenko, Inoue, Usyk, Crawford, Golovkin, Canelo et al I cringe at the Heavyweight division. That said, Joshua didn’t seem right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I think Fury won the Wilder fight by 2 rounds and 1 point because of the knockdown. He moves really well for a guy as big as he is. He is more than a journeyman and if his mind is right, he is the best heavyweight in boxing right now. I want to see him fight Wilder again.

No fighter sets out to become a journeyman, but once they get losses and have no following they end up becoming a trial horse for upcoming fighters. Not only is Fury not a journeyman but he'd never become one because after 2 or 3 losses he'd retire thus never getting to that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
