[oldhead voice]maybe if he had that head movement in 2002 he woulda beat lewis

It would have made for a much better fight, no doubt.

Legendary Tyson ended after the Spinks fight (Rooney's departure). He was still an immensely talented fighter but he lost that crazy good movement and went to brawling. I still think that Lennox Lewis was better, but of course Lennox might be the GOAT. And that's my unsolicited opinion.

I'm about halfway through Oscar's career, just finished Ike Quarterly, which he won but looked more vulnerable than he has before, including being knocked down once, in the 6th; he fought back hard with two knockdowns himself, one in the 6th and another in the 12th. Honestly, pretty good fight if you haven't seen it.

He's currently two fights away from his first loss, to Felix Trinidad, and there was some color commentary during the Quarterly fight that his camp wasn't great. Also, he keeps going through good trainers at a worrying pace.

It's funny, I recall his losses to Pacquiao and Mayweather when they were happening and he didn't look *awful*, he just didn't seem to have answers for these top level fighters, just a bit too slow as he aged I guess? I'm curious to see how he continues to deteriorate because this last fight was the hardest I've seen him in but he rose to the occasion well.

Iirc Oscar came in way lighter than anyone expected him to against Pac so he ended up giving up his biggest advantage which was his size over Manny

Edit: Assuming one of the hundred billion things that could derail the Vitor fight doesn't happen then I don't really have high hopes for De La Hoya. He hasn't been in the ring in any capacity since in 2008 and his life is literally falling apart before our eyes. Hell, if he beats Vitor his ego will probably be so out of control that he'll end up doing something really stupid.

I mean if this ends up an exhibition than you should probably avoid it no matter the odds. Unless your book offers a draw, in which case hammer that poo poo.

If it ends up being a pro bout. .

If it is a real right, and we do want to bet, is TKO the same thing as a ref stoppage specifically as related to betting? Because I strongly suspect the ref will end it rather than letting Paul lay on the ropes doing a boblehead imitation.

For betting purposes a TKO is a stoppage just like a KO is.

Standing 8 counts can be given at the ref's discretion but at least in the US, and probably in the UK too just based on what I've seen, they are seldom used anymore.

Shame. A good standing eight count can prevent too many free shots and also give a fighter a chance to continue.

Jump King

Most commissions (at least in NA, unsure how it is in Europe) got rid of the standing 8 count more than 2 decades ago. Even where it’s still allowed, the major title orgs don’t allow it in championship bouts, so you’ll basically never see it on TV.

i hate that canelo has gotten some cards he never deserved but his desire to fight top opposition is staggering. in contrast, bud crawford is having the time of his life killing nobodies for couple milli a pop

So a late replacement fighter got jobbed on a PBC card last Saturday and a whole lot is being learned about one of the judges who has a history of incredibly racist tweets-loser Mykal Fox is African-American and the winner Gabriel Maestre is Venezulean- and is married to a WBA executive. When being just plain ol' corrupt doesn't cut it for the WBA I guess
