Ha! So you're back. I knew it! I've visited this site since 2004 and I knew you were just ridin' a steep swell. I stuck up for you on a site where some one rumored you had "absconded" with a roll. Glad all's better. This site must really piss off a lot of weasels!
Don, why not take up the cause on a free host or cheaper host or maybe even a blog? Could you scrap this one altogether and start anew? What is there to save really?
In the video below a basic question about cost per unit is asked. With reasonable, average, competency a man ought to come to the answer within 30 seconds to a minute. The man in the video can't even solve the problem with a calculator! Yikes!

I suspect Froch is worried about his long-term health. He is reported a few times to have said he is ready to retire. I suspect he wants one more big payday and then quit while he best can. We sense small changes in our bodies and we just know it's time to do other things. Smart.
Beterbiev is better than a slugger but he's not a boxer either. At the pro championship level you can't only compete with power, you have to have the boxing to go with it. That's why it's called boxing and not fighting. I see many flaws in him right now which Kovalev would jump on. Some of his...
Not a very impressive win for Beterbiev as he suffered a bona fide knockdown in the first round against a journeyman and his stoppage of Page seemed to have been helped by a series of back-of-the-head shots which caused the journeyman's first knockdown.
Wow! Huge win for Andy! And all -every one- of those "expert" writers at boxingscene had Korobov to win in their predictions:

Agree. Its difficult to knock out a man who doesn't come to fight but to survive. In some rounds Hopkins may have only thrown 10 punches and they were feints. Anyone remember Vitali vs "the kingpin" Johnson? Vitali never even hurt him. But I bet Hopkins is feeling sore, swollen, beaten, and very...
Somehow Hopkins knew Sergey was going to use his long range body shot (jab); don't know if any of you caught it, but it looked like Hopkins was wearing trunks with extra padding in the front and he carried them extra high. Check it out.
Went to a big boxing forum just now and surprisingly on one dummy thought the fight was close whereas all others acknowledge it was a shutout. Funny thing truth...
All of the talk about Hopkins making a career out of cheating must of got to him so he fought to show he still has good defensive boxing skills and can survive without the cheating. But the idiots that kept saying Hopkins was going to "school" the Russian are just full of ****.
Scored it a shutout and so did all the judges. What a win!!! But you could see Hopkins had only one plan and that was to defend and survive. I watched his eyes and all he had fixated on was Sergey's hands. I will give Hopkins credit for being able to roll off punches and not get hit flush-flush.
Whatever Hopkins was is not relevant today; today Hopkins fights Kovalev. We look at how has Hopkins fought recently -not who and how he fought 5 years ago. Recently Hopkins fought Karo Murat, a shorter puncher, and Shumenov, a taller "put-up-your-dukes" flatfoot. In both fights Hopkins did a...
Hopkin's record shows 55-6-2-2; don't know if he has ever fought outside of "U.S.". I view his record as at least 55-10 as the "draws" and "no contests" are gifts to a notorious cheater and good actor. Other close bouts he may have been judged "victor" but a more impartial tribunal may have...
I agree, Sergey needs to keep his distance, and he will mostly -like you said its Hopkins who will try to stall. I would add Hopkins will try to stink, smother, whine, whimper and corrupt.
I have a lot of confidence in Sergey beating old Hopkins. If Murat and Shumenov can hit Hopkins why can't Sergey. I think this fight is going to end with Hopkins conceding a TKO or faking an injury. I really doubt Hopkins is going to stay in there and take a beating or risk getting stretched out.
I saw Usyk's amateur fights against Beterbiev. Usyk has some really fine footwork, great hand speed, and he's tall; but Usyk didn't throw really hard, instead he went for points wins. Maybe he's different now that he's fighting pro.
Beterbiev looks really good so far that's for sure but I'm not so certain Kovalev quit the amateurs simply because he lost to Beterbiev. Fighters go pro mostly because they want $$$. Kovalev has the legs and boxing to go with his power, so far I haven't seen that from Beterbiev who may have the...
I thought before the fight Beterbiev was going to be in for a long boxing duel -and one that he could have lost. Instead, he didn't look a bit outclassed in only his sixth pro match. Those amateurs champions are sometimes really better than what most think. If he can get the fights to build up...
