Thrilla in Manila is the still the most vicious to me because it went 14 and both guys were never really the same

Bowe-Golota 2 is one of the fights you watch and be like "Yeah that dude is finished"..i didn't have the highest opinion of Bowe because I thought he squandered his talent with his lack of discipline...he had heart though (and so did his corner)..that man absorbed 400 something punches in 9 rounds which is insane for a HW and still managed to rock and hurt Golota late which led to Golota 3 piecing him below the belt for another DQ.Just is getting to this bowe fight. The third roundThey throwing hands

Watched Clarrisa Shields 3rd MMA fight yesterday and it’s almost comical how feather fisted she is
She was absolutely teeing off on her opponent for like half of every round and only made the opponent stumble once
The hand speed difference was crazy and she was throwing like 10 punch combos landing basically everything. She’d be super dangerous in MMA if she had power
She survived being on the ground for half of every round but almost got her arm broke in an arm bar she wouldn’t tap out of. She took like 2 hard kicks to her knee while in stand up too. Makes me question why she risking a major injury on a side quest. It’s clear she feels unappreciated in boxing and maybe that’s why she’s doing this, doesn’t seem worth it though

probably just bored. No one can really fukk with her in boxing so might as well mess around in MMA
i remember watching this at one of the bars i used to go to in grad school..they had this on..i didnt even know bowe was fighting..and it was sad how badly deteriorated bowe was....a stone cold jobber was putting hands on him..hell i think he nearly stopped bowe in one of the rounds....bowe won a SD but it honestly felt like he got a gift

His former pads trainer did the same thing.
Not sure how affiliated he is with the Hollywood branch though? Maybe a name licensed thing?

Got that new belt glow / gift of gab going lol.
Timestamp 8:18 Coach Breadman on Millcity talking about guys not wanting to fight each other until they see a vulnerability. Brings up Jaron Boots Ennis not being seen as the boogey man anymore along with some others. I think that's actually smart for those other fighters but at the sametime it sucks for the fans because we don't get to see cats fight as often as we like.
That's interesting. Wonder when the last time he been to the Hollywood branch. I could also see it being a licensing thing.
