Hey if you fellows want to watch some modern boxing, there's a really good fight on HBO tonight. If you don't have HBO there's also 2 fights on ESPN, of above average quality.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:E: realistically I think it was a terrible style matchup for foreman and he would lose most versions of that fight, but he could have fought smarter. I wonder what the fight would have been like if you could put old George Foreman's brain in a young George Foreman's body. At least he would have paced himself. Young Foreman hadn't had to fight to a decision in over 20 bouts, and most of his KOs came really early. I don't think he had the discipline to pace himself when his go-to of "fight smart until you land power, then they fall over" didn't work, even if he knew intellectually that it would be the smartest thing to do, and that's not even accounting for any differences in how Ali would have fought if Foreman had done things differently. Isn't theory boxing fun? Here's a video of when Ali met the Beatles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhVbeBVKu2w

The most interesting thing about Foreman's style to me has always been his heavy use of pushes. He seriously used them as much as modern boxers clinch. He'd shove his opponents until they were off balance and then land a monster punch. It's such a weird style compared to just about every other fighter I've seen.

The Dregs posted:When he puts it that way, I really can't blame him. It's not like atheism was a big thing back then. He's being cheeky, of course, but his whole point was akin to 'black is beautiful' at the time. Racial pride doesn't seem to gel with liberal monoculture these days (which would assume to unify us through consumer ritual no matter what color or gender we are, 100% agreeable corporate citizens exercising abstract consumer choice). I don't believe in biological racial disparity, but the acknowledgement of race as a cultural phenomenon is important in a critical sense, especially since seemingly 'colorblind' economic policies affect black communities now in a far more insidious manner than Jim Crow laws ever managed. And, simply put, Ali had every right at the time to be incensed and to speak candidly about the experience of living as a black man in a white culture. He was never known for politically correct schmoozing, but rather pushing people's buttons. Also, associating him with Malcolm X would be a positive thing in my book, though they parted ways ideologically, especially near the end of Malcolm's life when he was moving into theorizing about general class disparity regardless of race. Both X and MLK were killed right about the time they started preaching unification of poor whites and blacks.

He also owned a bunch of white folks who thought he was arrogant and rude. There are several videos making the Facebook rounds right now of him telling off white people and exerting his blackness succinctly. I'll try to post them when I'm home

Why is Erdogan going to his funeral? And slick willy? The same people paying him lip (lol) service today would be the ones disparaging him when he was 20. I met him a few times when I was a kid. Cool dude.
