Harold Letterman always helped me understand how to score rounds without decisive punches (effective aggression, ring generalship, etc), I'll miss him.

AJ asking variations of the same question evey other round and repeating back the answers stuck out to me. Ruiz's physique is amazing and I can't wait for the articles that get written in non boxing outlets, especialy if he defends the title. Who is the last heavyweight champ that looked this tubby aside from 46 year old Foreman? Bowe?

Yeah, that's a good transcript, erie how Joshua sounds. AJ went into the fight concussed from a hard knockdown in camp, doesn't that make the many hard shots and knock downs in the fight even worse for his health? It's so lovely that everyone around him has an incentive to let the fight continue anyway; do all camps have doctors or just some? Also, if Joshua is coachable I think the rematch is good for him; Ruiz seems like he really needs you to exchange so he can counter. A gameplan based around what McCracken was trying to get going between rounds sounds good. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jun 4, 2019 |

So if Ruiz is a counter puncher who punishes over eager aggression, doesn't he match up well with Wilder?

This is fun; I'm thinking much smaller but I'll go the other way and donate $20 to same if GGG stops (doesn't go to a decision) him.

Didn't look like he was up from that first knock down, ref should have stopped it. That second one was just unnecessary.

I just realized I know a lot more about women's mma than boxing, which is wierd because I like boxing more as a spectator. Links to important/ good fights? All I know Ali's daughter was wrecking poo poo for a while, I saw her fighting someone callled...the coal miner's daughter?

Thanks, I've got a long weekend coming up and can get caught up. It's a shame the rules and promotions leave women's boxing less popular, guys at my gym talk about the technique of women's mma fighters with nothing but respect, it was pleasantly surprising.

The channel isn't so active anymore, and if you've been around since Ward vs Kovalev you almost certainly know about it, but I won't miss a chance to mention Lee Wylie's channel. Here's the first video, which replaces the overly simplistic "rope a dope" explanation of Ali's win over Foreman with something that elevates both fighters. https://youtu.be/G1_JW3wnrik

Seriously, let him fight anyone, even if you just let fan see the most famous mexican boxing murk a dude on Cinco de Mayo, get some can. Maybe some portly hispanic guy that used to be on the Olympic team but looks like poo poo. Hey, he's polite and respectful, so Canelo could even take it easy in camp.

I was at kickboxing last night and realized that the boxing news I wanted to pass around this time was the recent death and what questions it raised about the sport, but I kept my mouth shut to not be a downer. But yeah. I didn't think anyone there would want to hear it but it was on my mind.

My gut reaction is that boxing != prize fighting. Thanks for the link though, I'm gonna read that asap. Edit: I can hear Teddy Atlas in my head, telling me that boxing has done do much for so many young men. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jul 25, 2019 |

kimbo305 posted:Is there some other sport that you do consider prize fighting? Just wondering where the label would apply or matter. Pro MMA, pro kickboxing. I just meant that learning to do them as a hobby isn't the same thing as earning a living as a pro fighter. And really, I know that they're inseparable, but that was my intial reaction to "why do I like doing this thing at a baby level, but get increasingly uncomfortable watching the highest expression of it"

Some people die skydiving, but I don't know that it produces some large underlying foundation of brain trauma of which the deaths are just the peaks. Edit: Like, they say you can't get a little bit pregnant, but you can drat sure get a little bit punchy, or anything between "headaches" to "dead".

I like how Canelo looks bigger beacaue he's wider; they must be the same height because they both just barely come up to the bottom of the letters.

And Benard says they can go to China or Europe because USA athletic commissions won't let a man in his fifties who now has a glass jaw and got punched out of the ring and onto his head fight?

Lee wylie has a video up about Kovalev Ward; think I'm gonna catch this one at a sports bar. Hasn't Kovalev looked bad lately? Any word on the state of his camp in the lead up to this fight?

It seems like it's a question of "can Joshua stay alert longer than ruiz can stay unfatigued". As we move towards the second half it's more and more likely Joshua will.

Fighting out of the clinches and not letting the ref reset them lets ruiz get to Joshua.
