i dont do that 'cac alert' bullshyt, so dont worry....but as for what you typed up:

you typed up a bunch of nothing....you're right, conor is a fighter, not a boxer...this is gonna be a boxing match.....conor has never boxed a professional fight in his life, but for his first fight, he gets to go against one of the best of all time just cause he said 'he could beat him'....not only that, he gonna get 9 figures to do it....that's white privilege, plain and simple....just like tebow getting a chance to play major league baseball cause after years of not being a nfl capable qb and having nothing to do with baseball (said he hadnt played since 1 year in high school), he one day decided he wanted to and announced it to the world...

to further show evidence of it: you do realize before she got knocked out, people were really entertaining the thought of rondy fighting pbf?....all cause she said 'she could beat him' and talked shyt about him cause of the domestic abuse stuff....
The Ronda Rousey shyt for sure. I do agree: there is a level of white privilege involved. Like: he was on a huge winning streak, is super super popular, everybody knew this would create insane hype due to the personality clash and it DEFINITELY didn´t hurt that he´s white. Kind of like the Eminem-effect. Hugely skilled, but even he said - had he not been white.. MTV wouldn´t have played it.

So I partially agree breh

This year alone fam there's been ALOT of fights that are worth the price of admission. Already did Kovalev vs Ward 2 in Vegas this year and that was definately worth it. Was this close to going to the Superfly card, which personally I feel is best card of the year thus far. Last minute tho wifey said she couldn't afford it so I had to hold the L. I been seeing minimum 1-2 fights a year for the last 8 years or so. I'm gonna go to the Lomachenko vs TBA fight in Dec with wifey tho before we head to the Bahamas at the end of the year.

i hear you breh...last year i did 4 cards alone..NY, DC, LA, and CT....ive been making up for lost time lol..everyone has their vices..mine is going to these cards as schedule and plans permit. Even ventured into Montreal couple months ago for Superman-Fonfara 2...Had a coli brehette tag along with me because I talked about it so much (the fukkery I got into :wow:)..I wanted to go to Canelo-GGG but I couldnt commit because I had other things going on in September that I had to put precedence over but wasnt concrete. shyt September as a month has been trying as a whole to plan things :francis:. That superfly card i was also thinking too about attending. I'm itching for another card to go, preferably nearby in new hampshire, rhode island, or even CT. You only live about 40 mins from me so I know you can appreciate that once in a while to go to something close instead of getting on a train, bus, or plane. Hopefully in the next couple months i can plan at least 2 more boxing getaways before this year is out.

THIS! That's why I try not to go back and forth too much with the fukkboys on here...nikkas can't even afford to go support the same fighters they Stan for smdh...werent we talking about this very fact too? Unless you leave your mommas basement guys, get your $ up and go watch the fights, don't tell us anything! I been to Kovalev v Ward 1 AND 2 in Vegas, Kovalev v Hopkins in NJ, Cotto vs Margarito 2 in NY, Pacquiao vs Rios in MACAU, CHINA, Kovalev vs Pascal in Montreal, CANADA w FLOOR SEATS, just to name a few:win:


And EVERY time I've done so, I've talked to boxers, trainers, cornermen, coaches, journalists, media members and gotten SOOOOOO much game, info, backend #s, gym gossip, most of which I can't even reveal online. And if I did reveal it, ya wouldn't believe me. Know why? Cuz ya didn't read it on the coli or on YouTube :mjlol:

Looking at Floyds recent pics he could fight near the top of his game for another 5 years barring injuries; the physique and genetics him and his father visbily has is God given, Sr is almost 70 but body looks ripped more than half of the muthafukkers who call themselves boxers

Lombardi Trophies in Allen Park

Chop Chop hit on what I think happens with every Floyd opponent. Why they still think like this, I don't know. You shouldn't go into a fight with a losing attitude but you also have to think, all these people went in with a gameplan yet by the fourth round, the fight is now following the Mayweather fight script. Anyways, to the quote


Corley: Let's say I catch a person's jab; I'm going to come back with the opposite hand. But for Floyd, his dad and uncle showed him to catch a punch and come back with the same hand. He is the only fighter I know who does that -- only fighter who can, probably -- and the only reason is that he's been programmed from Pampers. He breaks the will of fighters. After a few rounds, you realize it's not what you thought it was going to be. You can't do what you want to do to him. You start questioning yourself. How can I get this guy? What is he doing that I can't catch him?

Conor will just simply be added to the line of people that haven't already had that anguish in the ring with him.

:russ: Article really makes Floyd sound like an omniscient being in the ring

Fighting Floyd is the ultimate game of 'Theres nothing you can do :mjgrin: '

Key points from some sections

Spence on his right hand : He throws it as a jab, in a way. It comes so fast. A lot of fighters telegraph their punches. He doesn't at all. It's really something that he's just mastered, throwing the straight right and catching guys over and over.

Catterall : The way he positions himself, you think there's an opening to land your jab. You think you got your punch, but he does that little shoulder roll and hits you with the right. Or he'll set it up with the jab and trick you into thinking it's an opening -- and it's already a mousetrap that he's set up for the right.

Spence on the shoulder roll : His right hand is to block the hook, and sometimes he'll block the jab with it. His shoulder is to block the straight right. If I throw an overhand hook, he'll roll it and shoot with the other hand. A lot of guys see the shell and jump in and throw a lot of punches. That's when he shoots down the middle with a straight right or hook and catches you with something crazy.

'The escapist' section : Catterall: If you have him in the corner or pinned on the ropes, he'll smile at you and wave you on like, "Come on, let's have it." You throw your punches and you might catch him with a shot, but you never seem to catch him clean. He'll somehow just spin off, and you'll feel like you've hit nothing. I believe I've got good timing and good speed, but he has that 1 millisecond where he makes you miss and you think you've got your hand back, but he'll catch you.

Catterall on his body work : In close quarters, he kind of holds the left arm like a bar in front of your guard. Then comes the stabbing right hand right above the groin. He's getting that shot off well on the inside.

Spence on his body work : Those little shots have an effect, shooting the jab in your stomach, which he does a lot, or in a clinch throwing an uppercut to your body.

If you rewatch the Ricky Hatton fight you'll see that thats how he broke him down round by round, effective uppercuts in the clinch with the right hand. An underrated technique that Floyd and Ward use is that in a clinch they almost always have a free hand that allows them to comfortably land shots in a clinch. This free hand is also the hand that they use to get themselves out of the clinch whereas a lot of boxers need the ref to seperate them. Heres an example

Theres more gifs I can drop but you already know what it is with TBE him and Ward are simply the stars of our generation. Hes clearly a guy whos prepared for every scenario in the ring over the years. Fighters get him in the corner and they think they've hit the jackpot but even in the corner he shows no sign of discomfort or panic, instead what you get is
