Oscar Valdez needs to be careful. Dude has a pet crocodile and he gets real close to feed that thing. Croc might take his hand one day. I've also seen him wrap snakes around his neck. :francis:

He threw a live frog at it yesterday and someone told him that species of frog is poisonous :mjlol:

Roy wasn't shot, faded, or fading when he beat Ruiz..We dont know how he would have been physically if he stayed at HW if he hadnt fukked up his body going back down.
Even shot tyson still had that foot speed....Lennox had to beat tyson off him; and beat tyson off him he did those early rounds:picard:

Respect to RJJ but he'd stand no chance against Tyson
He'd have no time and space to use his athleticism and speed there because he also wouldn't have had the power to really stop Tyson from coming in.

Lennox was also 6'5" 250 by then. He was never a speed demon at any point. A lot of people were faster than him. Hell I remember Briggs speed, back when he was sub 230, gave him problems too.

This you had to fight and discourage Tyson off you......He'd have supreme confidence knowing he's fighting a guy with a weak LHW's pop



Truth be told all of Tyson losses he took some serious grown man ass whoopings, all of them; you had to beat Tyson off you, there was no outboxing him 12 rounds

Lennox get shytted on for his chin history wise but when it was time to mix it up, he found himself in some firefights



Lennox was my nikka; cant co-sign the Vitiali ducking so fukk him:camby:


SN: Awaits the Lewis vs Klitschko exhibition match; Lennox sleeping Vitali in the shape of his life looking like he been waiting for a day like this:heh:

You must not be up to date with the UFC's business model in 2018, they got plenty of "fight night" cards with fighters who aren't really stars and don't have star potential. And how in the hell does Prograis not have star potential in the realm of boxing? Dude is an action fighter who tries to knock everyone out.

UFC is more popular and is perceived to be the combat sport in the strongest position when being compared to other combat sports.So while UFC may have a dud "fight night" card they have the hardcore fanbase and casual viewers to eat it.Boxing does not.UFC fight night cards are recognized as a step below of the PPV ,obviously.However their fight night cards have featured fighters with high name recognition who are not totally washed up that people care about watching.that doesn't harm them. Junior Dos Santos,Shogun Rua,Jose Aldo,Eddie Alverez are all fighting on UFC fight night cards on FS1/FOX in the next few weeks.They're not blockbuster fights but comparatively in boxing we get Gilberto Ramirez,Jose Ramirez (before his opp got hurt),Joseph Parker,Andre Berto,Devon Alexander in fights that hardcores barely care about and casuals give ZERO fukks about because they don't know who the hell they are besides Berto but he's known just for taking L.That doesn't help boxing at all.While UFC's C/B level cards are easy to find (FS1,FOX,Fight Pass) boxing's mid-tier cards are all over the place (Fox,HBO,DAZN,BOUNCE,ESPN,Wealth) there isn't any consistency.


If boxing wants to build stars you don't do it by given random fighters you think have star potential main event cards on random fridays,you throw them on cards with established stars with name recognition.For example,Regis Prograis.You say he has star potential,cool.However ,does ANY casual know wtf a Regis Prograis is? How many advanced casuals know wtf a Regis Prograis is? How many people are going to say on friday "oh shyt,Regis Prograis is fighting"and click on ESPN?" Next to no one.Why isn't Regis on the Paquaio card? Why didn't Top Rank do a split site telecast? A lot of viewers will have eyes on Manny's fight the next day,than regis' fight on friday. More eyes = more opportunity to further your brand. It's a wasted opportunity.

On HBO Jamie Mungia or whatever the fukk is fighting Beefy smith as a main event.....why? nobody is going to watch that fight as a standalone..it draws nobody.Two weeks after that fight HBO has Kovalev/Alvarez ...why isn't the Mungia/Smith fight on the undercard? Some promotional b.s? Fine..in September Canelo/GGG, Golden Boy could've tossed this fight on there.More eyes = more opportunity to legit create a star.

Quartey edged him out i thought but oscar nearly killed him that 12th rnd in an already close fight both showed mad heart
As in street rules whoever got the last hit won.........

Well Oscar got the last knocked down and nearly tore his head off the last round therefore thats undisputed win for Oscar.....


SN: Oscar had some hard hard fights to score, Quartey, Whitaker, Tito and others I all waver on day to day......Legend though Oscar was special those skill aint in the sports no more brehs....
