Boxing 3/20 - 3/21

[gardenweasel]

Klitschko can only fight with his hands low these days against midgets who cant even reach his head and even if they do once in a while he has tough enough chin not to get KOed . Valuev can jab all day here if Vitali fights like he did in his last 2 fights .

we`ll have to agree to disagree,my man....i can`t see the man that just lost to holifield(or very close to it,imo)...and struggled mightily with ruiz(twice) and larry donald...LOST to chagaev(who ain`t very good,truth be told)... beating the elder klitschko...

for my money,he`s the best heavy in the world...and i`d struggle to include valuev in the top 10(maybe the bottom half...maybe)...particularly if he were forced to fight outside germany...

i would expect the elder klit to be a solid 3-1 favorite...

Of course he would be the favorite in this one but I don't believe Vitali is a good boxer these days . This just says how horrible HW division is atm . Back in the day Vitali used to be one of the best in recent history but now he cant put his hands up or put a combo together to save his life , thank god other guys are even worse , his last two opponents landed like 20 shots together and it had nothing to do with Vitali being so great . Povetkin is the only guy atm who has a hope to beat him and he has much better shot than Valuev but like I've said Vitali is just not that good anymore but the rest is even worse , too bad MMA HWs don't get paid as much as scrubs like Gomez or Peter ...

Burned my fingers with this +#-.- LC Davis ...

Not sure about this card , Miller should handle Junie but I got a weird gut feeling ...

Regarding the UFC Fight Night:
I agree...weird feeling on that Junie/Miller fight...Miller should win...but....

Regarding Valuev/Vitali:
I gotta go with Klit. Valuev was piss poor against Holyfield. I thought Evander clearly beat him, and Evander has nothing.
I think Vitali would win this fight. Both these guys have big heads. But one has no balls.

 

[The Brainiac]

Vitali used to be great ... not so much anymore ... Valuev always sucked , talked to him once when he was doing promo here , sounds like a nice man but he cant box and doesnt seem to be improving much . Over rounds would be a lock here , Vitali very unlikely to KO Valuev with those straight punches and no combos and Valuev couldnt KO a 10 year old .

don't forget we got the K1 on HDNET early Friday morning. I know you are damn good with the K1 handicapping.

Manhoef in the tournament, and Overeem vs. Bonjasky. Unfortunately, Badr Hari fight is off.

[The Brainiac]

Was full limits on this - - - - - vs Overeem ... what a great fight it was . In MMA Hari would get KOed every second fight , lucky for him you cant jump on him and follow with more punches when he gets knocked down . He recovers pretty well , sitting like 7 seconds and then getting up on 8 count . Eg Hunt vs Manhoef ... in K-1 fight Hunt would very likely recover and get back to his feet but in MMA rules Manhoef just followed with some GNP and ref stopped the fight . Hopefully Hari ducked out of MMA fight with Overeem cuz this wouldnt be pretty either ...
Really would like to see the odds on Spong vs Saki fight ...

Interview with Flores. Says he broke his knuckle in the 3rd round, and the pain was so bad he almost quit. Crock of shit. What a jerkoff.

I like when they ask him to give closing thoughts for his fans. What fans?

I've never been a Flores fan, either and I don't expect that to change any time soon.I wish the Ding A Ling Man rung his bell then he'd probably be in less important fights and we wouldn't see him.
