If he would have gone to Floyd 5 years before he did, his career would have lasted much longer.
He fought a bruising, bar fight, take two to land one kinda style.
I wouldn't teach my son to fight like that either.

I don't know. Hatton was hard-headed. Sr. tried to teach him head movement. He wrote in his book that the Mayweathers were always late so he had two training sessions: one with his people and one with Sr.


Here Sr. is trying to get Hatton to move his head on the bags and he's not doing it as much as he wants him to. He's also telling him to shorten up on his hook (that got him knocked out against his son.)


He was arguing with Floyd Sr. before and during the Pacquiao fight. You actually hear Sr. say, "You should have been listening to me from day 1" in between rounds.

4:37 Mark


He did introduce Ricky to Kool-Aid though:

Refs stopped it too early in my opinion.

Thurman happy that 2019 will be his first $10 mil year, at him doing Manny's t rex arms impersonation

 

[da_monumental_1]

I don't know. Hatton was hard-headed.

How are you going to post all of that without this gem?

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

How are you going to post all of that without this gem?

Because I was just talking about his interactions with Sr. But I remember that too.

Joseph Parker: 241.5 lbs. Alex Leapai: 254.2 lbs for the co-main of Andrade card tonight on DAZN

[tpotda]

Lubin wins via 4th rd ko, this frenchman didn't stand a chance

 

[HeathCliff]

Brandon Adams coming out to Nip...that might mean trouble.

 

[tpotda]

Parker's gassed out, he's gonna need to improve his cardio if he wants to break into top 5 at HW

 

[will_right]

This guy Charlo is fighting...does he have a chance?

 

[tpotda]

Jermall walked out with the Mo City Don

 

[will_right]

Can he KO Charlo? they SAY he's a puncher

 

[tpotda]

Andrade walked in with a wolf mask

 

[the13thround]

If you end up going to that thing Fred set up, let us know how it turned out.

Cool.

I just got back from the post fight press conference.
Fred got cursed out by one of the Showtime production staff members for standing in front of the live feed.
They almost went at it.
Then hot headed Jermell Charlo tried to start a fight with a random person from Adams' team.
I'm quite sure the footage will be posted shortly.

 

[PDQ21]

Boring like most pbc cards..........nothing new


Next wknd Jon Bones Jones fights n Amanda Nunes vs Holly Holms

[tpotda]

Chad Dawson made his return after 26 months last night and won but was dropped during the fight

 

[tpotda]

Demetrius Andrade $1.5 million
Sulecki $400,000

Andrade finally getting the money he deserves with DAZN, HBO never treated him well, was only offering him $550k to fight Charlo

It'll be interesting to who DAZN matches him with next. It surely won't be Canelo, and also it's highly unlikely to be GGG.

Possibly Jacobs, but he's coming off a title fight against Canelo...Whoever it is, hopefully DAZN puts him in with someone good.

[Pow Wow]

I'm lukewarm to this fight if it happens.

Sergey's 3-3, and 2 of those losses were via KO. Then there's talk of Canelo implementing a catchweight and a rehydration clause. If so, meh.

Sergey can still bang, but he's probably on the down side of his career. I'd rather Canelo clean out 160 (if he can) than watch him hop between weight classes cherry picking belts.

 

[tpotda]

You think Yarde can take the belt from him in Russia if the fight goes down?

No idea. Yarde seems like he can bang, but he's never fought anyone near Kovalev in terms of skill and talent.

If I had to bet, I'd go w/ Kovalev, even though he looks to be slipping. He's still the more proven guy. I am anxious to see what Yarde has though. If Yarde can pull it off, and especially if it's in convincing fashion?

Light heavy will be ripe with intriguing matchups

 

[tpotda]

Yeah I think Yarde is probably top 3 most athletic in this 175 division of killers along with Bivol and Marcus Browne, thing with Yarde is that I think he has serious gas tank issues like AJ carrying too much muscle mass. I think only way he can take Kovalev's belt in Russia would be a stoppage, he better get inside of Kovalev and put in serious bodywork on him like Ward did

Yep...force Kovalev to severely compromise himself physically...Kovalev takes it because of the money...if you beat the weakened Russian, proclaim your greatness to all who will listen as you have added a great name to your resume

 

[tpotda]

Kovalev already been having issues making 175, there were talks of him going up to CW awhile back

Munguia aka the Mexican Jarrett Hurd gets stopped if he fights Golovkin. Should be an entertaining fight tho.

Andrade will once again be left to fight some movermatched/fringe contender like Lemieux or Horn.

I like Yarde.
I think he's the goods, but his trainer sucks.
You're spot on about the muscle mass though.
He probably should slim down a bit.
I don't know if he's quite ready for Kovalev yet though.
He better take a few more step-asides and tune-up fights first.

Nah fuck all that. He wants all the smoke, gone throw his ass in there now

Let me stop, I ain't really got no dog in this fight, I just want to humble Tunde Ajayi one good time. Just one good time. You know how you feel about Jermell, well that's my sentiments on Tunde. lol

 

[PDQ21]

Looking forward to this shit

Tunde is one of the most delusional men in boxing.
He talks TOO much.
He's giving a lot of fighters bulletin board material to use against Yarde.
When he said Yarde had better skills than Andre Ward, I almost choked.

 

[the13thround]

Speaking of Jermell.
Peep how he crashes his brothers presser and makes it about him.

 

[tpotda]

Yarde better be getting close to $5mil or something to go to Russia for this fight
