40yr old vs undefeated champ.. vegas favors pacquiao. go manny!

that was a damn good fight.

brutal fight for thurman. nose possibly broken early, head butted on his nose later, knocked down in round 1, wrecked with a massive body shot in round ~9, hit with lots of solid shots.

man o man.. thurman took a body shot in like round 9.. was so bad he spit his own mouth piece out into his glove. held his mouthpiece in his glove and kept boxing. that is nuts. he spit it out bekoz he was just in so much pain. but didnt want to take a knee. crazy

thurman hit pac with some good shots, a few at the end that def hurt pac, but pac came back hard after he took 5-10 seconds to recover.

very impressive fight for pac.. he looked great. still so fast.

another incredible vid.

epic last lap between Jakob & Gebrhiwet at the Lodon DL 5000m.

my dude rhonex fell off at the end. he's more of a 10k+ guy tho, IMHO.

damn.. 10 years. nuts. "congrats" (hah).

happy that you and so many others are still on here. i love how we keep the journals going, documenting the highs & lows of training etc, and occasional life stuff.

Also....



10 awesome years in this awesome forum , 

just a few months ahead of me. not many people still around from the earliest days. adarq (obviously), joe, you, me, stamos, cowed... i think that's it.

ya hah. 2009 crew is small, but 2010 crew is still pretty close to the start. 2010 crew like scoob, kingfish, gukl, zetz. hope i'm not leaving any1 out.

this remind me of that graduation song from the 90s
"be kind to your knee, you will miss them when they are gone"

yup ^^

basketball players (high school through college) lift now more than ever before.

70's, 80's, and 90's era basketball was some of the toughest around, hardly any of those guys lifted. all they did was hoop.

the "stunt your growth" & "it'll make you slow/tight" stuff was popular for their generations, it isn't now. weight rooms & facilities were hard to come by, now they are everywhere. every athletics program (especially in college) has s&c coaches who make their athletes lift.

lifts aren't magic.

we all know the truth why these guys are getting injured so much. they dont do the proper lifts.

no.

I just watched the whole match after getting through a whole work day dodging spoilers. Ouch. I couldn't envisage a more torturous match for die-hard Federer fans: losing with two Championship points after nearly five hours of up-and-down play, and a shank to end it. But, it's impressive he pushed Djokovic this hard. Djokovic is still looking like he's mostly in his prime form.

Between this match and the AO Nadal beatdown, I think Djokovic has a strong case for BOAT. I don't think he'll ever be considered GOAT over Federer (and if Fed had won this match, this discussion would be sealed forever). But, the opponent quality in all of his 16 major wins is insane: Federer (4), Nadal (4), Murray (5), and then three excellent players in Del Potro, Tsonga, and Kevin Anderson once each. At the very least, he's the most mentally tough and clutch player I've seen. He has the best ELO ranking too, for what that's worth.

nice @ those ELO rankings. crazy to see "the big 3" still there at the top. The only other dude who was able to crack through, was Murray, who unfortunately retired due to injury.

also nice to see Thiem ranked #4 there, he's legit. Always exciting when he plays, dude just blasts it non-stop.

ya Federer had that match. that one is going to sting. He's still GOAT right now, but Djoko has many years left to take that from him.
