i'd say maybe try 168 first but when you know you only need to avoid getting knocked out to win why wouldn't you risk it

not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm looking for a book or video that collects peculiar/notworthy fighting techniques from various fighters over the ages. maybe one fighter was famous for a specific defensive technique, another for the way he threw the hook... does something like that exist? I'd be curious.

jack dempsey has a book about fighting dirty iirc

have generally stopped caring about fights before and after they happen so this one has creeped up on me and even with my Boxing Enthusiasm Protection Method deployed the fact that jacobs will have to knock him out to get a draw is putting a dampener on it for me. 6/10

crazy to think that this could've been jarrell miller's moment had he not taken 3 different kinds of steroids.

seems like a bad decision to take those now but at the time, who amongst us would not have taken the steroid that they wouldn't even give to rats in the end because it was giving them cancer of the everything? hindsight truly is 20/20 i guess.

not sure wilder should be talking about gifts when his draw against fury pretty much came with a bow on it. also, joshua’s win over wlad is still better than any of wilder’s wins- the best still being a 60 year old ortiz.

speaking of upsets and gifts though, i thought katie taylor was lucky to get the decision too tonight. looked really laboured.

apparently the result came back before the fight and it was still allowed to happen so? maybe it wasn’t a performance enhancer or something?

quote:

The amount of epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone found in Whyte's "A" sample was very small. It could have been ingested as part of a supplement rather than the direct ingestion of Dianabol tablets. But the WADA standard for epimethandienone and hydroxymethandienone is qualitative, not quantitative. In order words, any amount of epimethandienone or hydroxymethandienone in an athlete's system is a violation of the WADA code.

billy joe looked terrible tonight. looked like he trained expecting a walkover and got taken 11 rounds and was probably behind on the cards when he miraculously pulled out a stoppage

Completely for got about this fight was early and was doing poo poo outside. Guess I didn't really miss that great of a fight?

basically just joshua boxing at range for 12 rounds with a handful of moments where he got overconfident after landing big shots and clipped. nothing major in the hurt department either way.
