Tim Hague declared brain dead.. :/ crazy

After MMA, he tried a go at pro boxing. He was getting wrecked in this fight until he was KO'd at the end. They took him to the hospital, he slipped into (or it was induced) a coma. Now he's been declared brain dead. :/

The fight should have been stopped long before that KO... horrible. damn.

conor sparring match... was that a joke or was he trying to connect, his arm look its made of rubber and it was slow motion......

boxers shouldn't be allowed to do mma cuz they could kill someone with that thin glove....

pro boxers usually get taken down & submitted in MMA.

i imagine people put shit music on videos to avoid being automatically flagged.


Why? Because MOST MMA guys realize how LETHAL a boxer is comparatively. They know the best option is gnp or submission.

yup

that's why it's funny even contemplating the idea of an elite MMA fighter trying to stand with an elite boxer.. they wouldn't even do it in the octagon if it was an MMA fight.. hah.

Nate:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruCNdNGIDWI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruCNdNGIDWI</a>

lmfao.. those Diaz bros are just so rugged. Disrespectful (not good) and rugged. They also seem partially brain dead.

Not nearly as impressive as CM offensively.. but just traditional boxing skills (jab-1, jab/straight-1/2, jab/straight/hook-1/2/3), being tough as nails, and never getting tired .. go a long way in a boxing match. He gets off balance a bit, he's goofy, but he has some serious length on those shots.

Khan says Nate did great against Fonfara (pro boxer) in sparring. Would be interesting to see video of it.

Damitt! Here we go again lol.

Man I know Mayweather's going to win and do it easily. It's just disappointing if there'll be no contest. I hope McGregor at least puts up something decent.

I do think though if anyone's going to cross over CM is a pretty good choice.

Maybe Nate Diaz would be a better choice, since he outboxed CM & basically KO'd him in their first fight ...  :trollface:

Honestly though, Nate & Nick Diaz would probably fare better against most boxers than CM even though they are way slower, IMHO.. Nick Diaz for example, is more of a pure boxer with superb condition & a granite chin, he actually has one pro boxing win also (1-0).

As slick as CM is in the Octagon, in boxing, if you can't get a guy out early with that slickness & you're known for fading, a good boxer will suck you into the middle/later rounds and when you're drowning, will try and destroy you. CM fits that mold IMHO.. Very impressive, fast, slick in the first few rounds - but when he faced Nate Diaz who is a slow, non stop, granite chin boxer, he got worn down in literally one round. By the second round he was getting caught easy, which resulted in him getting rocked & choked out.

I'd expect the Nate/Nick prototype to do better than most MMA fighters in pro boxing.. Not at all against elites, but against lesser opposition. Good technique (great jabs, throw punches while defending simultaneously, good movement), granite chins, superb conditioning, can withstand tons of punishment, and just keep coming.. They'd be the kind of guys you'd put up & comer boxers up against early on, to give the fans an exciting fight.

pC!

These movie channels play lots of CIA/FBI-ish movies.

Rewatched "Breach". Great movie. Based on a true story about an FBI agent who spied for Russia for 22 years.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401997/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen

Quote
He is currently serving 15 consecutive life sentences at ADX Florence, a federal supermax prison near Florence, Colorado.

.. He was charged with selling U.S. secrets to the Soviet Union and subsequently the Russian Federation for more than US$1.4 million in cash and diamonds over a 22-year period

Three years later, Hanssen transferred to the FBI's Soviet analytical unit, which was responsible for studying, identifying, and capturing Soviet spies and intelligence operatives in the United States.

Hanssen was recalled yet again to Washington in 1987. He was given the task of making a study of all known and rumored penetrations of the FBI in order to find the man who had betrayed Martynov and Motorin; this meant that he was looking for himself.

In 1990, Hanssen's brother-in-law, Mark Wauck, who was also an FBI employee, recommended to the Bureau that Hanssen be investigated for espionage;

Despite having shown his face, disclosed his code name, and revealed his FBI affiliation, Hanssen escaped arrest when the Bureau's investigation into the incident did not advance

that wiki is nuts.

MJ got so many calls back in his day, it was un fuckin real..... you think it's bad now.... go look at some of the old clips.....

Even Magic joked during a dream team photo shoot with MJ and Bird "You can't touch Michael [while about to put his hands on mike's shoulders] or its going to be a foul" lolol

this is just one clip i can find:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUFqnu0tHtE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUFqnu0tHtE</a>

theres more if u watch some of the old games in full .... but yeah MJ go the most superstar treatment of any player in sports imo.....

As much as I remember Jordan being great, best player in the clutch i've ever seen, I also remember him getting EVERY call. You couldn't blow on him or they'd call a foul. If anyone thinks Kobe got the most calls, i'm pretty sure they didn't watch Jordan in his prime.

On the flipside.. Lebron gets the least amount of calls i've seen for an elite player.

That's one thing people never factor into the Jordan / Lebron equation. I'd love to see the free throw statistics for both of them, especially in the playoffs/finals.

Me and some buddies used to have a fight club in basement and the rules were all fucked up...... we were allowed to hit someone on the ground......

and this one dude did a hook with all his might when i was trying to get up and shook my brain so bad.... probably knocked 3 iq points out of me in the long run..... i think that is the kind of hit mcgregor will face on floyds counter punch right to the temple

uh.. lmao. not smart. the irony of not doing something smart, then physiologically killing brain cells. :ninja:

Also .. your handle "fast don't lie" is appropriate here. Mayweather is fast, both offensively and defensively.. 100x faster than Conor on both fronts. Arguably faster than Pacquiao offensively, definitely defensively. Faster than Zab Judah defensively, but not offensively.

This McGregor hype is hilarious. Who knows though, 2016-2017 are the years of upsets, watch Conor will KO Floyd and become President of Ireland. :trollface:

The Leftovers

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2699128/

Pretty much the most seemingly useless series i've ever watched, but actually one of the best. The directing & acting are absolutely superb. Watching this series unfold, you have no idea what's going to happen. In fact, you're always waiting (or wishing) for something to happen, just like the people in the show.



IMHO, their Season 2 intro is superb too:

Anyone watching the "Twin Peaks Reboot"? IMHO, it's absolutely awful. I feel like i'm watching a mix between an 80's sitcom with corny comedy, a sci-fi flick, a parody horror flick, and a "snuff film". The interactions between "Agent Cooper" (who is or isn't "Dougie") and his friends/enemies/family/coworkers is painful to watch. I mean the guy is basically a braindead robot yet they keep yelling at him as if he'll understand something. I had to mute most of the last episode, then comes a midget who violently stabs some women to death in a barely watchable way - I mean digging/grinding an ice pick deep into her.. Oh and then some meth/coke head hits a small child at like 70 mph.

wtf?

Absolute garbage.

Re-watched "Three Kings" & "Spy Game" yesterday.. both solid movies from nearly 20 years ago.

Three Kings:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120188/

Pretty cool concept -> steal gold that Iraq stole from Kuwait while their is a cease fire, but everything goes very very wrong.. Takes place during the first US->Iraq War. Has lots of twists and turns & it gets pretty intense. Really good movie.



Spy Game:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266987/

Could have been better but, still solid. Redford was in one of the most credible "hacking" movies of all time: "Sneakers".. Spy game is actually pretty similar, in that it seems more credible than not. I like how Redford's character in the film works people with only small bits of information



Interestingly, both movies are 7.1's on imdb. :ninja:

PBF is going to point his ass TO DEATH.

After watching Nate Diaz basically KO him, I think PBF could easily KO him..

Conors stand up/striking is VERY basic compared to a world class boxer and all this bs hes spewing about hitting harder than anyone Floyds fought? Bahahaha. No. Im sure he thinks he hits hard af but what adarq said above is key...

Technique>*.

Conor won't go down easy but he's in for  a world of surprises the first time Floyd catches him with a clean counter. When youve thrown MILLIONS of punches with great technique... you hit hard. He doesnt hit hard as a BOXER but compared to an MMA fighter? Smh.

yup.

Again, World Class Boxing ability in Professional MMA might not even translate to mediocre in Professional Boxing. That's what most people are missing. You could be the slickest, more deadly boxer-striker in MMA, KO'n everyone with ease, and probably have no chance vs mediocre professional boxers. Anderson Silva is a great example... A magician in MMA with a professional boxing record of 1-1 with 1 KO Loss. Sure, maybe he improved and could have beaten some pro boxers when he was in his prime in MMA, but I seriously doubt it. He exploited MMA's weak boxing, and was able to defend himself on the ground with great BJJ.. So he was lethal in MMA because of sub-par boxing ability. At the elite level, you put him in there with any light heavyweight pro boxer and he'd get demolished. You put any light heavyweight pro boxer in there with him in MMA, and pro boxer gets demolished.

Ive got some friends who are pretty decent MMA guys and they can hit but its NOTHING compared to a couple boxing buddies. I got stung clean AF from a right cross sparring a boxing friend in college and it slowed me way more than any shot ive taken messing around with my mma friends. And he was 146lbs vs my 170. Long, lanky and quick as shit lol!

Correction: my best friends dad is like a 30yr wing chun expert... I sparred him once. I laughed at my buddy when he said id never see it coming (Ive dabbled with some boxing and mma stuff, every guy should lol, self defense and a great ego check).... I saw the first one, parried, saw a glimpse of the left and never saw the 2nd right hand. At all. Just went down on 1 knee trying to decide what happened and if i should get up. :)

lmao nice!
