Ali ring any bells? Or Jack Johnson...

Not that i'm for clinching/excessive holding...can't stand the shyt and it's a pet peeve of mine in boxing

But you couldn't be more wrong there.

the funny part is look who was doing the holding to avoid that inside work

Can't wait until Sat

I guess that explains the Klitschko hate from you

 

[H.I.M.]

I guess that explains the Klitschko hate from you

I got respect for all pro boxers and don't "hate" any of them...but years of discussing boxing with them dumb ass cacs over at Boxingscene/Eastsideboxing during the height of the Klitschko's "reign" will do that to you.

I don't unneccessarily slander the man...i just put his career in better context for folks that don't have a proper understanding of the history of the division...and some take it the wrong way.

He's top 15 all-time at heavy.

Having said that...any sort of cheap tricks, rule bending, and short cuts used in the ring absolutely disgust me...and i usually gravitate AWAY from boxers that partake in such activities.

You brought up one fighter, and even then YOU were wrong. Ali's recourse when an opponent was close wasn't to immediately clinch. He fought on the inside too. Yeah at moments against certain fighters he clinched when he was overwhelmed offensively, but clinching on the inside wasn't his game or something he routinely did against the ppl he fought.

And statistically theres more clinches in heavyweight fights than in any other weight class. These are big dudes who get tired. That's completely different from Money May tying up Pacman EVERYTIME he got in close. Or Maidana.

After my 3rd rewatch it seems the later rounds were kinda like Spence/Brook w one guy looking to initiate tie ups due to being and the other guy looking to do body work.

Actually rewatched the fight today myself:

Watch Ali-Frazier II and get back to me...that fight probably has 3-4x as much clinching as Mayweather-Pacquiao

It was common knowledge that Ali was a poor infighter...you close distance and get under his jab...and he'll tie you up almost everytime.

Most couldn't close distance and get past Ali's jab outside of Frazier & Norton...hence why you didn't see it quite as much...but anybody that gets past his jab gets put in a headlock by Ali.

so there's going to be no rematch clause for either..at least this article answered my question on the PPV cost lol

Kathy Duva: No Rematch Clause in Contracts for Ward-Kovalev 2

By Keith Idec

Sergey Kovalev could at least take solace after his controversial loss to Andre Ward in knowing that if Ward wanted to fight again, he had to face Kovalev in his next bout.

There was an immediate rematch clause in the contracts they signed in the fall of 2015 for their light heavyweight championship showdown. Whether Ward or Kovalev lost their fight November 19, the loser could exercise his right to an immediate rematch.

Ward contemplated retirement following his 12-round, unanimous-decision win at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but ultimately decided to try to record a more decisive victory over the previously unbeaten Kovalev in an immediate rematch. If Ward loses to Kovalev in their second fight Saturday night at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, he could have a much tougher time securing a rubber match because there isn’t a rematch clause in the contracts for this 12-round fight.

“There’s no obligation for there to be a rematch,” said Kathy Duva, chief executive officer for Main Events, Kovalev’s promoter. “Obviously, people could make decisions that they wanna have one. But that is not something we are obligated to do.”

If Kovalev wins their rematch, there figures to be plenty of demand for a third bout because they will have split their two fights. If Ward wins, he’ll have two victories over Kovalev and probably little incentive to fight the Russian knockout artist a third time.

Ward is a slight favorite over Kovalev (-160/+130), according to Las Vegas sports books.

The 33-year-old Ward (31-0, 15 KOs), of Hayward, California, and the 34-year-old Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs) will fight for Ward’s IBF, WBA and WBO light heavyweight titles in the main event of a four-fight HBO Pay-Per-View telecast. The show is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and costs $64.99 in HD.

Damn kid, you wake up on my dikk. Eat some breakfast first



Yo you talk mad shyt but after you stated you "boxed" but couldn't do 5 rounds and I told you I'm 220lbs and have boxed as an amateur for several years and just finished doing 6 rounds the other day, I asked you what weight you boxed at but your ass has yet to reply




Come back with something slick tho, and when I feel like addressing you again ill do so

Yeah no rematch clause...but if KRUSHER wins we better get a rubber match, unless he somehow dominates. But even then, id still wanna see Ward try to avenge his only loss.

my guess if kovalev wins..him and kathy duva are going to REALLY try bending ward over backwards for the terms of the third fight..shyt will be ugly...if ward wins decisively, kovalev goes back to the drawing board or goes after cleverly and takes him out again for his "regular" title (god i hate saying that )

I look forward to SOG or KRUSHER destroying Stevenson

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

We gon whoop this generic euro can krusher again...

Expect SOG to come out more focused and calm this time...I felt the previous fight he looked unsettled in the first couple of rounds and underestimated the power behind KKK jab...

Better fight Beterbiev if he loses against Ward or try and get at Adonis since his stock will drop (Kovalev's that is)
