It's nothing wrong with an athlete crying. I like Schofield SR but he himself comes off to people as effeminate. So making fun of Shakur for "crying like a girl" at the Olympics is silly to me. That's the pot calling the kettle black.

Still interested in that fight though if it pops off. Scho Vs Shakur.

Watch DLH vs Quartey again & see if you come to the same conclusion. You might have to watch it with the volume down because of all the DLH cheer leading

I thought now & in real time Quartey was robbed

I thought the Quartey fight was close in real time. Had he not gotten knocked down at the end I thought he had Oscar. Pernell fight was a literal robbery though. That was a fight that help set the standard for some of the b.s. judging we have today basically giving all the credit to the more aggressive fighter and not giving an ounce of credit for defense and efficiency.

Oscar literally did nothing for big stretches during the fight but at least Quartey was pumping the jab out piling up points. De La Hoya was credited for doing nothing most rounds

That feb 22 card might legit be the greatest card ever. even if Shakur puts out a boring effort the rest of them shyts look like fade fades :picard:
absolutely, it's probably the best card I've ever seen even without the Shakur/Kid Austin fight
It's kind of mind boggling to see Turki satisfy all the financial interests of the promoters and put together these kind of match ups after we've been brainwashed into thinking it was impossible the last 20-30 yrs

Just rewatched DLH-Sweet Pea again

DLH lost this fight imo, a UD is crazy

Absolute Facts. Unfortunately for Sweet Pea, towards the end of his career he was used as a permanent B side of main event fights to give the A side "good competitive rounds" with no chance of ever winning no matter how good he looked in the fight

It was evident when he faced Julio Cesar Chavez, De La Hoya, and Trinidad

Reminds me of how Tevin Farmer is treated now
