Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor
« on: June 15, 2017, 12:59:55 pm »
I bought pretty much every Mayweather PPV fight.. can't think of one I didn't pay for. I definitely WILL NOT be ordering that PPV.

I mean, if we look at it just from a circus perspective, it's kind of fun.. But from a fight fan purist perspective, it's complete garbage.

It's kind of like Ali vs Hulk Hogan .. nothing wrong with it.. It's just some circus/entertainment stuff. This is slightly different in that it'll be a REAL FIGHT, but still, it's mostly a circus event.

So i'll just continue to look at it from the circus perspective & appreciate that for what it is.

The idea of Floyd breaking Marciano's record with a fight like this, instead of fighting GGG, is very annoying though. Hard to not let that annoy you if you're a "fight fan". :/

If you want to see Floyd vs Conor early, this is how it'll probably look:

^^ The Matrix.

and Gatti was a really good (not elite) boxer with a chin of granite & decent hand speed.

What happens on Aug 26?

Mayweather v McGregor

lol i'm not looking forward to that at all, mcgregor is going to get slaughtered.... no fun when u know exactly whats going to happen....

FWIW I think Mayweather wins but...

At worst McGregor has a punchers chance. He carries concrete in his hands and is a unique mover. He will come in bigger than Floyd with reach to boot and if Floyd is as defensive as he would normally be then McGregor has so much more freedom to move around. I think it's going to be a really interesting fight.

I disagree. McGregor has a puncher's chance in the same way a meteor has a chance of falling on the ring and killing Floyd :D

Floyd will be able to do whatever he wants to Conor.. The question is really: will he string it out to give the fans "more action" and play with him to make it a longer fight? I imagine he will.

Personally, i'd like to see him end Conor in round 1 and just be done with it..

If they were fighting in MMA, i'd say Conor would destroy Floyd, absolutely no chance, not even a puncher's chance. These sports are just way too different.

Conor has never seen anything like Floyd's speed/reflexes/stamina/movement in a ring. And he can't slow it down by tackling Floyd to take it to the ground or kicking his legs etc. He's just a sitting duck.

As for Conor having concrete hands, sure maybe in MMA.. but I imagine not at all in boxing. Boxers fight with bigger gloves & have better chins, they are all about taking head punishment. Lots of these MMA fighters seem to have glass chins - could be due to the gloves but, I imagine it has more to do with less hardening of themselves to proper head trauma while growing up. They probably spent more time wrestling, doing BJJ, doing more weak sparring than the stuff you see in these brutal boxing gyms around the world etc. Boxer's usually have hundreds of amateur fights, and spar hard af in some really grimy gyms while they are growing up.

dno.. i'd be shocked if Conor lands anything impressive.. or even if he looks impressive at all. He'll have maybe 1 round (the first) where he has an ounce of confidence and will look sharp .. but after that, he's going to be Floyd's play toy.

Ye, I came to post that thing too. Apparently a deal has been reached for mcgregor to fight mayweather and it seems its the last mayweather wanted to do for his final record breaker fight. pathetic really. fighting a guy 0 professional experience as a boxer.

http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-mcgregor-deal-reached-august-26-las-vegas--117537

Definitely pathetic. It will be a permanent stain on his record. He should be fighting GGG.

also the scoring is crazy too, guy was not aware and could have made the scoring go into robbery zone.

ya that is crazy

Boxing / Re: The Greatest Quote in Boxing if not all of history
« on: June 13, 2017, 01:19:25 pm »
Yes you're right, it's not cool to celebrate that kind of anger/rage.... but don't get me started with politics/propaganda/etc

to me, the context of it being associated with "the greatest quote in boxing if not all of history" is what annoyed me.

Tyson has some crazy quotes.. Some of which are pretty good.. The one you listed is batshit & was said in a time in his life where he was in a downward spiral, always contemplating suicide. If you strip the politics & social issues out of it, to me (my opinion) it's still not a funny quote.

https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mike_tyson.html

He has some great quotes..

This one is legendary: "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth."

Brutal: "I've lived in places these guys can't defecate in."

Truth, lmao: "When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again."

Real shit: "Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent."

Truth: "It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading."



he's got tons of gems.. so I guess my main issue with your original post, is that you picked one of his shitty quotes he said while partially crying out of manic anger.

Stamos should have been posting his Movie reviews in a thread like this, and linking in his journal. Would be a big thread.

This Self/Less movie is decent. Never cared to watch it but came in on an interesting scene, then restarted it. Only halfway through but, enjoying it so far.
