Great article! Totally rips Haye a new one. No wonder Wlad has a PhD. Smart guy.

When I first saw his dad, I laughed because their faces look so similar. He's like a brown version of his dad. lol.

That was a TKO victory, the ref just didn't know it! He should be banned from the sport.

Brinkley was down for 13 seconds in the 5th and 12 seconds in the 8th. Bute knocked him out three times in one night!

Great comeback. Soto was taunting him quite a bit in the first round. But not in the second! Warren shut his mouth real good.

Great analysis, Anak.

I had it 11-1 for Adamek. Other than the 12th round and one right hand in the 6th, Grant didn't do sh!t all night. I don't know why people keep perceiving these lop-sided fights as close fights. Strange. Having said that, Adamek was downright tiny compared to Grant, and he's certainly no...

Yeah, Pascal looks beatable. He would lunge in, throw a few punches, and then rest. Dawson fights in spurts, too, so that benefited Pascal. He would have a rough time fighting someone who could apply steady pressure, make him work for all three minutes of every round. Or someone who can...

I haven't seen this fight, and barely any of Silva's last handful of fights. Just highlights. Does he seem to be aging? Other than Sonnen, his last elite opponent was Henderson back in March '08. I have to wonder if he's deteriorated over those two years, but people didn't notice it because...

I gave Alexander the first two rounds, 3 and 4 were close, and Kotelnik won the rest. Like Westside, I try to be generous to the non-white opponent to compensate for any bias on my part, but I really couldn't find any round after the 4th to give to Alexander. Kotelnik was the clearly superior...

Yeah, rounds 1 and 4 were close, 2 for Pirog, 3 for Jacobs. Round 2 should have been a 10-8 round. Steward tried to deny it, but I saw a GIF on another discussion board, and Jacobs clearly sat down on the bottom rope. Even if he didn't, I've seen refs score a KD when a fighter squats down...

Sure, like the 35 second defeat of Tim Sylvia. But I think it's his vulnerability that makes him interesting. That makes him different from, say, GSP, Silva, and Lesnar. Dominance is great, but kinda boring. Not that I don't want white fighters to be dominant, of course. It was his...

Fedor gets in minor trouble in a lot of his fights. Outboxed by Arlovski, busted up nose against Rogers, that Japanese guy who put him on queer street briefly, Randleman dropping him on his head, Cro Cop landing some good shots, grabbing the ropes to prevent a takedown by Lindland. For me...

As opposed to Clottey, who actually was dropped by a Cotto jab. Yuri was outclassed, but there's no question that he is one tough dude. And he definitely wasn't faking the injury.

Here here!

I agree. Khan was the much, much bigger man, regardless of the stats (which are dubious, anyway.)

I wasn't really wowed by Mayweather's speed in the Mosley fight. There were a few right hands that impressed me, but other than that it was really his defensive skills and reflexes that shone through. Offensively, he was nothing special. When it was speed vs. speed, Mosley rocked Mayweather...

Wow, Minto's a small Cruiserweight, let alone Heavyweight!

Why??

The scorecards are a separate issue. I'm not justifying anybody else's scorecard. I don't care if Froch would've won in England or not. I thought he lost the fight, regardless of any judge's opinion. I had it 7-4-1 for Kessler. I could be generous and give the even round to Froch and that...

I was channel surfing Saturday night, so I watched the entire fight last night. Kessler simply out-worked Froch. The jab and right hand to the body were particularly effective. (According to one person standing nearby, in between rounds, Froch told his trainer how much the body shots hurt.)...

Unfortunately, Kessler had an enormous gash over his eye. Ward cut him up bad with headbutts, so it was probably scar tissue that opened up again. Cuts could be a problem for him for the rest of his career.

Man, he just barely won in Arreola's backyard. Good thing he pulled out a dominant 12th round! If he lost that round, or if it was close, it would've been a draw. Whew, close one! Great conditioning, too. He seemed to tire a bit against Estrada, but he was good down the stretch in this...

Precisely. A lot of people complained about Froch "fighting dirty" against Dirrell, but all he did was punch during the clinches that Dirrell initiated. Kessler-Froch was a clean boxing match, without its rhythm being ruined by excessive running, clinching, and headbutts (Dirrell, Ward.) Of...

I agree. DHEA isn't a big deal. It's like when McGwire took andro. I have to admit, it's kind of funny to hear about a black man taking a penis enlargement pill! LOL. Another stereotype debunked!
