OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion IV

[TRG]

I like Ray Borg.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Cordeiro ability to train & coach high level BJJ practitioners into competent aggressive Muy Thai strikers is doing wonders for Dariush. He's doing a great job striking with Edson Freaking Barboza

Edit: Welp, HOLY ****, Barboza got him with a flying knee!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Belial]

Dayuuum that was nasty!!!!

 

[LeHab]

Lemieux punishing in 1st

 

[TRG]

That was incredible.

 

[JurequeparJuraj]

Crazy pace!!! holy

 

[mariolemieux66]

Lemieux by KO









The guy is still sleeping 1 minute later.

 

[varsaku]

Crazy pace!!! holy

What an amazing knockout punch by Lemieux

 

[Belial]

That's some heavy punching between Rua and Villante!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Vitor just can't take a punch anymore. High time to retire for the phenom.

 

[Belial]

Nice job by Gastelum!

 

[TRG]

ViTRT needs to retire.

 

[jaffy27]

What an amazing knockout punch by Lemieux

I've never seen a guy out cold for that long......Lemieux is a beast!!

Great fight if you're a Lemieux fan.

Great fight if you're a Lemieux fan.

Reminded me a bit of the epic ending of a great fight between JMM and PacMan.

Well done by Lemieux, would like to see him fight Canelo for a nice paycheck.

 

[bleuetbio]

Nice job by Gastelum!

Gastelum seems great in this new category, but Belfort is dead meat. He shoudl retires himslef and stop embarassing himself

 

[Habs13]

Anybody watching Golovkin vs. Jacobs tonight?

GGG's fights are always incredible.

Yes. Chocolatito is actually in trouble right now, first time his opponent can take Roman's best shot without slowing down.


Jacobs is going to be around 180 lbs tonight, just about 10 lbs heavier than GGG. Jacobs arguably beats everyone on Golovkin's resume... it'll be an excellent win for whoever takes it. Golovkin TKO5.

 

[CreamOfTheCrop]

I would never miss out on a great GGG match.

The Streak gotta live on.

Yeah! Its a good fight so far... think those were accidental headbutts??

I don't think jacobs has what it takes to beat GGG - I don't think anybody but Cornello does. Did you hear David Lemieux say he wants a GGG rematch after knocking out Stevens?!!

Golovkin KO in round 3

Golovkin KO in round 3

Some of the damage is, but SR has landed a lot more hard straight lefts than I thought he would tonight altogether. Roman is not having fun, he's winning, but it's a tough one tonight compared with most of his fights.


Cornello... Canelo you mean?

I don't think Canelo does. Poor footwork relative to Golovkin's, sure he has the advantage in handspeed and upper body movement but his counterpunching game will get old quick with GGG. Golovkin was a powerful counterpuncher himself around the time he fought Simon, Fuchigami, etc... in the ams as well, when he had aggressive bull types coming at him. Golovkin's defense being underrated as hell, I don't give Canelo much of a chance. It would have been Ward to beat Golovkin, but that fight was supposed to be at 168 and has since come and gone. Oh well. Golovkin is the new Hopkins... had he been American, he'd be making twice he's making tonight ($2.5M).

 

[Roadhouse]

Awesome 12th round btw. Roman wins, probably 8-4 or 9-3.

 

[Roadhouse]

FOTY candidate for sure.

 

[Habs13]

Canelo... Cornello.... potato ... potato... hehe


That was a good fight - not sure if the point deduction was a good call though.

 

[Habs13]

Wow!!! What! HOW?

 

[Belial]

Hahaha never change boxing
