My IPTV streams went down a couple of times for a few minutes but they came back up. Right now its good.
I can't remember seeing anything like this outside of a movie. He's literally running at Cotto and getting blasted
It's like Rocky 4, only I don't see Kamegai coming back.I can't remember seeing anything like this outside of a movie. He's literally running at Cotto and getting blasted
I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like this. He has zero respect for Cotto's power.
I don't think he has enough time to catch up to someone legitimate, boxing-skill-wise. Even if he fought dopey Paulie, is he gonna make more money than if he fought UFC?
I think he would still make more fighting paulie than in UFC so might be worth it.
His counter punching was pretty impressive. He had some really nice shots on Floyd. I have a lot of respect for him, as a boxer, after watching that fight. May looked old and slow, but Mac took him to task before getting gassed.
He did well, better than most ever would have expected. He was bigger, longer and awkward. However, after 2 or 3 rounds, he had nothing on those punches and he was really just slapping, pawing. He could possibly be an effective boxer, but he's just not in proper condition for boxing.
Everyone that watched it after our draft had fun and seemed to feel it somewhat lived up to the hype. GGG-Canelo will almost certainly meet expectations. I can't imagine a scenario where that isn't an epic fight.
A time machine. It takes years and years and years. Even after lengthy amateur careers, good pro fighters are brought along slowly. Top Rank's two big prospects who just went pro, Michael Conlan (also Irish!) and Shakur Stevenson, fight guys out of your local gym.
Ofcourse. It would be like the talk of Usain Bolt becoming an NFL WR a few years ago. At 6-5, 210 pounds and BLAZING speed he would be the greatest size-speed freak ever to play. He also would have none of the other qualities needed for the position. I imagine he would have had the career of a Kevin White. Injuries and no ability to do anything other than catch the ball at the LOS and try to run past everyone...which doesn't work in the NFL.
I would guess thats probably it for him, boxing-wise. Dont begrudge the guy for grabbing the giant pile of money, but i dont think there is anywhere else to go but UFC.PinkydaPimp said:
agreed. Thats a good point. Now he can negotiate higher pay in the UFC as well.
I don't think he'd make enough money to fight Paulie. There would be almost no ####s given from the boxing side of the street, and far fewer from the MMA side. I mean, I guess it'd prove there are some boxers -- retired. light-hitting ones -- that McGregor could be competitive with, but I don't think it'd build him further. At that point it'd seem like he was trying to avoid MMA.
Good God...I can't imagine what would happen to Conor if he stepped in against Canelo or GGG.
Also David Benavidez fighting (and probably winning) his first world title on Friday night, the 168 lb WBC strap that Badou Jack left behind. He is an extremely fun and explosive guy to watch.
Don't forget Inoue vs Nieves.
