The massive difference in torso size didn't tip you off? Keep in mind the belts are the same size and look how snug Stipe's is.

It's easy to tell after a glance, but when they're wearing the same shorts and have similar heads and haircuts, welp.

Thanks, Reebok.

Blaming being handsome on steroids...

What CAN'T steroids do? Make you stronger, hit harder, look handsomer...gently caress USADA, man, let's get the UFC stacked with panty-dropping uber-men already. What could possibly go wrong?

Late to the discussion, but A.J. Liebling used to refer to fighters as "milling coves." Apparently "coves" just meant "boys," so "milling" referred to fighting. But we're talking some old-rear end boxing writing, so probably not relevant.

quote:

REPORTER AT LARGE about attending the fight between Sugar Ray Robinson & Randy Turpin at the Polo Grounds, won by Robinson in the 10th round. The writer is fond of a book called "Boxiana," by Pierce Egan-a history of the British prize ring up to 1828. In it is a description of migration to a fight in the early days. The migration would begin days in advance on foot. Later the milling coves & the flash coves (fightera & knowing boys) would set out in way along with plenty of Cyprians & blue ruin (sporting girls & gin) to keep them happy on their way. Last of all the Corinthians (masters of the fance & patrons of pugilists) would take the road in their fance traps and catch up with the others.

The audiobook of A.J. Liebling's essays on boxing is quite entertaining.

who?

Joachim Christensen vs. Gadzhimurad Antigulov*

*gadzihumard might actually be a good prospect

Aw man, I like Joachim. Met him flying out of PDX after he lost at FN96 because I was seated with his corner guys. Super nice team.

But he's fighting a Dagestani dude on a 13 fight win streak. :ohdear:

Woodley said he would fight Maia, but only if the fights he really wants against Nick Diaz or GSP don't materialize

Admittedly, which PPV is gonna sell more? Fighting one of two dudes who can actually sell tickets, or fighting against a brilliant Brazilian who deserves it, and has a pretty good story, but won't be pushed by WME because he's not one of their clients. Unless he is, in which case, ignore me.
