Beterbiev still being ducked....still being avoided:manny:







@mr. smoke weed the narrative if Beterbiev ever loses is gonna be he wasn't ever that good or being avoided....I can hear it now:francis:


Fighters who do this should be dropped out of the rankings of the given organization, only exception if they have a good excuse such as an injury.

Belt organizations shouldn´t tolerate fighters waiting on the outskirts waiting for the dangerous champ to go away or get old so they can jump on a vacate belt later or anyhow just become a title holder by the easy way.
Why them dudes hold down places on those rankings if they are not willing to fight for the title? If they have no commitment to actually get the belt they shouldn´t be featured in the rankings.

Lara: Trout Was Out 17 Months, On Back End of Career Versus Hurd

By Keith Idec

Jarrett Hurd’s stoppage of Austin Trout is commonly considered the most noteworthy win of the IBF 154-pound champion’s career.

Hurd became the first fighter to beat Trout by knockout or technical knockout when Trout declined to come out of his corner for the 11th round October 14 in Brooklyn. Trout is a former WBA super welterweight champion who soundly defeated Miguel Cotto and was competitive in his loss to Canelo Alvarez.

Erislandly Lara still wasn’t all that impressed by Hurd’s victory over Trout 5½ months ago at Barclays Center. Lara, who stopped Terrell Gausha in the main event that night, thinks Trout was getting the best of Hurd before Hurd began beating up the veteran southpaw later in their fight.

And as someone who already had defeated Trout, Lara (25-2-2, 14 KOs) doesn’t consider Hurd’s performance that night something that should concern him as the WBA/IBO champion prepares to face Hurd (21-0, 15 KOs) on April 7 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas (Showtime).

“I watched the Trout fight in the locker room, as I was preparing for my fight,” Lara said as part of a recent conference call. “So I couldn’t watch that carefully. But from what I saw, I thought Trout was winning the fight and as the fight wore on, obviously Trout’s legs weren’t there.

“He hadn’t fought in 17 months and he’s also a fighter who’s on the back end of his career, had lost already several times. But I thought Trout actually was doing a good job in the fight. Hurd’s a guy that likes to take it up a notch after six, seven rounds. I like to take it up a notch, too, after six, seven rounds. So this is gonna be a great fight. Come April 7th, I’m just ready to rumble.”

Trout (31-4, 17 KOs), a southpaw from Las Cruces, New Mexico, had lost only to Alvarez when Lara fought Trout in December 2013 at Barclays Center. Lara dropped Trout in the 11th round of their 12-round fight for the then-vacant WBA interim 154-pound championship and convincingly won a unanimous decision (118-109, 117-110, 117-110).

The Cuban southpaw reminded reporters on the aforementioned conference call that Hurd stopped a lesser Trout than the one he fought.

“Trout was out 17 months, he is an older guy, he’s been defeated several times,” Lara said. “He is a former world champion, but he also has had a loser’s mentality. So it’s a lot different when you’re fighting a winner and you’re also fighting the guy who dominated Trout, and also put him on the deck and let him off the hook in the 12th.
But it’s an exciting fight, and we’re excited for the fight.”

Cus D’Amato was a big teacher of the mental side of boxing too sometimes even going far as to hypnotize Mike Tyson. The mental side is often overlooked when talking about training. I guess that’s why Loma good at breaking fighters down physically and mentally in the ring and make them quit.

It’s finally time for me to put some respeck on his name :obama:.

Top 3 P4P:wow:
It’s no accident that when fighters that look untouchable get beat once they’re seemingly having problems with everyone they face. That confidence/aura is a much bigger factor than people think.

I just rewatched the video of Danny Jacobs confronting Charlo again & had to laugh. Jacobs definitely pulled his card when he said: “I’m hearing people saying you said pull-up? What pull-up mean? I don’t know what that mean?” AKA explain yourself little nikka now that we’re face to face. :mjlol: I don’t even think Charlo responded to that. That little B2K looking clown almost ruined the moment though

Danny is a Brownsville nikka. I’ve heard stories about he he got down when he was younger too. He definitely caught Charlo off guard in how he walked up on him dolo & no entourage like that.
I forgot he got robbed that same :heh:night. Reminds me of when the NBA player Derek Williams (when he played for the Knicks) invited 2 thots up to his hotel room after a game & they robbed his ass too lol
