plenzmd1 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 I do not follow boxing at all but found this morning on my feed. Worth watching, lots of fun for a heavyweight bout..and i do mean HEAVYWEIGHT!!!!!
Needle Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Massive upset and would have been an enormous story in another era. Boxing is dead unfortunately and it's a blip on the radar. It's a shame 2
BUFFALOKIE Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Just watched your link. Dig it. Is Lil Gordita the first Mexican heavyweight champ ever? I loved it! Phug, if it didn't hurt so bad getting punched in my big nose......LOL! I just looked it up. Yes, Ruiz is the first M Mexican heavy weight champion, ever! Nice! Edited June 2, 2019 by BUFFALOKIE 1

Check the arms of the knocked out slapper. So much for conditioning. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=russian+slap+contest&view=detail&mid=D72B3095D8475FAE446BD72B3095D8475FAE446B&FORM=VIRE 1
KD in CA Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Thanks for the link. Haven’t seen Joshua before — unimpressive. Never seen a champ that anxious to get out of a fight or that happy to have it over.

It's a shame Yup. In the 80s (before PPV), watching a heavyweight bout was something the entire family looked forward to. Personally, too many egregiously rigged fights finally made me lose my love for the sport. I was an avid boxing fan (all weight classes) for all of the 80s and much of the 90s. The Roy Jones Jr., Olympics rig job in 1988 was the beginning of the end for me. I held on as long as I could, but finally I'd had enough. That and the ridiculous PPV prices drove me away.
Lurker Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Jesus Christ, heavyweight boxing has fallen off the edge of the earth. That was embarrassing by historic standards... 2
Chandler#81 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 Been a boxing fan all my life. Marveled at Marciano & the Brown Bomber. Saw every single Ali fight from (Clay) Olympics to Larry Holmes. Sadly, I agree. Boxing is dead. That was pathetic.
Buffalo716 Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 The best pound for pound boxer in the world is Vasyl lamachenko if you have never seen him fight... google the man man
T&C Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Last good, actually it was great, boxing match I watched was Hearns/Hagler... agree, boxing is dead. Edited June 2, 2019 by T&C 1

Olympics are a different level of corruption. The occasional bad decision didn’t bother me as much as the bogus officiating in the NFL. But the combo of PPV and lack of talented, colorful fighters really took a toll. 1
