do any of you guys box?

have trained as excercise and sparred

never fought though

 

[twinkie13]

Man, I would love to see Jennings vs Wilder. Too bad it will never happen without a title involved...

yea i want that too

pussy

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Jennings looks SO much more polished than Seth Mitchell. Maybe HBO got it right this time with an American heavy.

 

[twinkie13]

i hate the score guy too for HBO

 

[Turkas]

yea i want that too

Jennings is probably America's most well rounded HW prospect, but Wilder has the most upside.

 

[Toronto_Mike]

hahah, did you play Street Fighter as Balrog?

 

[twinkie13]

pussy

haha

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

hahah, did you play Street Fighter as Balrog?

Any time I tried to play shitty Balrog on SF2 a controller was broken.

 

[twinkie13]

i lose enough brain cells other ways

also for my size at 35 it would be at a huge disadvantage

u do mma or tapout ?

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Twink you ever see that score guy they had for one week on showtime? Dude mumbled shit into the Mic after he fucked up his intro bit and never was seen again.

 

[Toronto_Mike]

this the type of boxing you guys did?

[twinkie13]

Artur goes down on the body shot

 

[Turkas]

do any of you guys box?

If you mean hitting the bottle hard then yes :badass:


As for the sport, nothing more than a heavy bag and speed bag for me.

 

[twinkie13]

LOL that rules guy who sounded drunk all the time? He was amazing lol.

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Jennings better be careful here. Spielka is dangerous hurt.

 

[twinkie13]

i would agree

give em Seth's chin and lets go beat Wladdy and Vitali!!!

 

[Turkas]

Really impressed with Jennings here. Has grown a ton since his NBC Sports net days.

 

[twinkie13]

[Toronto_Mike]

so ok I got a question, I really get so confused with all these fucking types of "belts" IBF bla bla bla.
Like why can't they just have one belt and say this is the best damn boxer of all time. Simple shit cause every time I go to SkySports I'm like who the hell is this white Irish dude

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

That shit is just fucking classic.

well the belts bare worthless pretty much

Sky sports, you will get alot of white dudes....the Brits and Irish have a set of Commnwealth belts over there as well

and they love their boxing over there

the commonwealth belts are beyond trash tho.....worse than "diamond" belts internationally

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Mike here is the only list to go by for boxing. These are the current true lineal title holders. The guys who beat the guys who beat the guys.

http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/pastchp.htm

Many are vacant.

 

[twinkie13]

Mike many of us used to respect "The Ring" belt

even that has been corrupted unfortunatley

hmm what confuses me is that I want to know who is the UNDISPUTED Heavyweight or Lightweight or whatever weight Champ is. With all these belts going around I'm a bit lost.
I have always had such great admiration to the mind of a boxer, their mental game plan and coaching is extremely intriguing to me but I always get put off by the off ring bullshit the sport has.

 

[twinkie13]

Its hard to get past all the belt bullshit unless you are really really into it

sucks, but the belts are trinkets and ways for the orgs to make money and corrupt shit

I think the WBC or one of them literally had a dead guy in rankings before......and have dudes literally ranked that are retired or on losing streaks

it is dumb

OH wow thanks for this!

I use to own a boxing game years years ago and it had Rocky Marciano, Jack Demsey, Joe Louis, Ali, Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier and all the heavyweight greats

 

[twinkie13]

Jennings doesnt have much power though....it seems anyway

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Outstanding performance here by Jennings. This is how you do it in your HBO debut.

was that a show?

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Twinks referring to The Ring Magazine. Their belt used to be the closest approximation of the lineal title. But then Golden Boy bought the magazine and changed the rules to earn their belt and now it is a bullshit belt.

 

[Turkas]

Really no belt matters any more, the only thing that matters is the idea of the "lineal" champion which is no longer tied to any belt and is vacant in several of the weight classes right now, The easiest to probably trace right now are HW, LW, MW, and SMW.

That doesnt surprise me...especially as you enjoy tennis so much. What I do directly affects you and what you do. Great sport...both of them

The belt situation has only gotten worse....My advice would be to look around....easy to know who the top guys are

Add in the Golden Boy/Top Rank war and it just gets more confusing bro

 

[twinkie13]

He has looked good

I worry about his pop...

 

[twinkie13]

Artur came to fight tho

 

[Son_of_Balrog]

Artur came to fight tho

For sure. Thats why I thought it was an excellent performance for Jennings.

 

[Turkas]

That's his biggest problem right now. Out of all the division you have to have a punch at HW, especially with Klitschko have 4ish years left.

hmmm I will have to pay more attention to this, thanks for the lesson!
I always got confused with weight classes, i figured a good boxer of similar size would just find a way to beat the shit out of someone maybe even bigger lol

oh yah man, I work as a performance coach and train variety of athletes.
I'm always interested in the mental aspects of sport just like Chuck Giampa lol

Mike that's another huge problem with modern boxing. Too many weight classes, which make for way too many nonsense fucking belts.

In boxing's last glory age you had 122, 135, 147, 160, 175, and heavyweight. Thats why when a guy like Duran won lineal belts in 3 weight classes it was an amazing achievement.
