I wouldn't pay for it, myself. Probably just catch the video the next day, especially since they always seem to fight at 4 or 5 am here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those freak fights but I suppose that's not really the UFC's thing. I think the only real freak fight they had was Randy Couture vs James Toney. The other one I had in mind was Tim Silva vs ...some bodybuilder. LOVED that fight, if I remember correctly Tim was out of shape, came out of retirement, then won that fight. Beat him bad too the guy was in la la land. Don't think that was UFC though that was in the ring not cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetperson Posted December 21, 2017 #1828 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I've been looking for a particular fight on youtube and I'm hoping someone here can help find it or has seen this before. So I haven't seen this in like 10 years, it may have been on ebaumsworld. The fight must've happened 80s/90s and I don't think it was a professional organization. A ring was setup but I think it was in a club or something. Also the 'fighters' weren't fighters. I'm almost positive 1 guy was a bouncer. The other guy was an interesting character. The commentators were saying how he claims to have invented his own martial art and I think they even said he was selling VHS instructional tapes. I definitely remember them saying he'd go out in the street and dodge cars to practice his martial art. The only thing I remember about his martial art is he had some weird 'spin' technique to deflect strikes..or something. The whole fight was pretty short, I think it consisted of the bouncer marching across the ring and throwing big right hands till he tko'd the guy.

seeder Posted February 18, 2018 #1833 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Quote World Boxing Super Series: George Groves retains WBA title after points win over Chris Eubank Jr George Groves produced a superb performance to retain his WBA world super-middleweight title as an enthralling points win over Chris Eubank Jr took him into the World Boxing Super Series final. The 29-year-old was patient throughout, preventing his rival from boxing up close by mixing good footwork with solid counter-punches. A cut above Eubank Jr's right eye in the third round hampered the 28-year-old, who enjoyed joy of his own in a riveting 12th round, where noise in the Manchester Arena reached a crescendo with both men looking vulnerable. But Groves' poise in parts was key and the 117-112 116-112 115-113 scores on the judges' cards means he will meet either England's Callum Smith or Jurgen Brahmer of Germany in the final. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/43101520 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danydandan Posted May 19, 2018 #1834 Share Posted May 19, 2018 What are people's thoughts on Katie Taylor, personally I would be hard pressed to come up with a better technical boxer than her.

Not the biggest fan of womens boxing,mainly because they are rarely ever showcased!...There really hasn't been a Ronda Rousey type figure to put it in the mainstream either. Best "technical" boxer i can think of at the moment is Lomachenko...dude is like watching a magician in the ring lol 3 world titles,in 3 different weightclasses,in only 12 fights!

Taylor is doing just that on this side of the Atlantic, her fights are show cases on Sky Sports every time she enters the ring. She's the main reason women's boxing is an Olympic sport. She very impressive, Lomachenko is utter class. I like watching Fury fight, if he wasn't a lunatic he'd be an exceptional boxer, for a heavy weight. Josh Kelly and Carlo are looking very good too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man,i've heard her name a good bit but as i said womens boxing just has a hard time catching on here...Europe and evenmoreso the UK has had a combat sports "explosion" in recent years! I'm really hoping the UFC puts the Connor Mac vs Mago fight on in a large stadium in Dublin or in Russia... American title fights in the old days would be fought in places like Yankee stadium in front of 80k+ fans and really gives off a BIG FIGHT feel,Europe has been perfecting that in recent years! Fury has the skills to pay the bills but also an extraordinary awkward style combined with his length,if he could hold it together mentally he'd be hard to ever bet against! I'm also a huge GGG fan,but he's reaching near the end of his prime and has been ran from and avoided his entire career... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will depend on the behavior of Russian fans in the world cup and in the ufcs first fight night there. Honestly Mago has a very padded record, and Conor is probably the best stand up guy in mma. So I think, hope, that Conor would KO him. But I'm pessimistic that the will fight even happen.

I'd be pulling for Mac in that fight and i agree Mago has a padded record,but style wise Mago is a nightmare for Connor!... Connor would by any and all means have to keep the fight standing,but if Nate Diaz scrawny ass can get Mac on the ground...i'm thinking Connor needs to end that fight early as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conors BBJ game is very very underrated, and really hasn't been tested. Maybe Mago can test it out, but Magos ground game ain't spectacular either, I think GSP would destory him.

I havn't seen much of Connors BJJ game,the Mendez and Diaz fights were really the only 2 UFC fights he really has needed them in...his takedown defense combined with his explodive offense have always been his best defense. I dunno,Mago's ground n pound game is kinda his bread 'n butter...his wrestling is some of the best in the game!

I have seen him,Conor, train a number of times, his control off his back is very good, top game not so much. Mendez was supposed to kill him on the ground, he did kinda control him but did not really get anywhere. Conor just let him exert himself. Diaz didn't really show anything. Mago is good at top control, his take downs are very telegraphed and someone with the stand up game Conor has will take advantage of that. Hell any decent fighter would, he hasn't fought any top top guys. Edited June 3, 2018 by danydandan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno,the mendez fight was too short notice to really get a good grasp on things...fighters training for different opponents and then thrown together make for a tough judge. Yep Mago has good top control but hasn't faced the best...meanwhile Connor has faced some good competition but looked very average against a not quite world class Diaz twice and has SEVERE cardio issues to work on...cardio becomes 2× more important against a good wrestler...add on top an almost 2 year layoff and Connor isn't doing himself any favors...

That's true, I don't think he will fight again to be honest. I think the New York incident will come back to haunt him. He fairness though he beat Aldo, considered one of the all time greats, he then fought Diaz on short notice two weight classes above his usual one and Conor probably needed to get beaten at that stage he thought he was Superman. Came back beat Diaz easily enough I think, then beat Alverez who people also were considering one of the greats in his weight division. His CV is very impressive.

Yea man,that "incident" may have long lasting implications i'm afraid... Don't get me wrong,i'm a Connor fan and yeah i even argued on here Diaz is a bad matchup as he has such a freakish "build...dude could be a mid sized 185'er if he bench pressed for a week ...their 2nd fight i can't really say "easily enough" Connor won,but was on his bike the entire time and once again showed some stamina issues. His boxing match against Mayweather can't really be held against him in ANYWAY but...he looked good for 5 rds and then that heavy breathing became very noticable,he grew pale,and had a hard time keeping his hands up after about 15 minutes of fight time... All that said he's a KO artist and one of the best in the game at it,but when in deep water he gets into trouble....he reminds me in a lot of ways of a smaller Chuck Liddell in the pro's and cons department....long list of pro's but he does have a few flaws,just hard to expose them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a good fight. Although considering what Alverez did to RDA and then what CmG did to Alverez you'd have to suspect CmG would have won easily enough.

I think as i did then that Connor would have won,but no because of fighter A beat fighter B,and B beat C,therefor C had little to no chance against A... Far far to many instances of that not working out that way in combat sports history...that has cost a lotta people a lotta money over the years lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted July 13, 2018 #1848 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well gonna have to wait till '19 for Joshua vs Wilder... Hard to say Joshua is "ducking" Wilder as Wilder has twice the experience,but hard to say he's not with 3 of the belts,Wilder offering him 55 mil,and home turf advantage... Joshua better be careful with Povetkin,he should definately win but it's no gimme... Was glad to see Fury not go directly into a fight with Wilder,dude needs a few more fights to get himself back into form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything could happen, both have nearly unlimited power. But Wilder can take a punch and a half. I don't think Joshua can take a punch as well as Wilder. Would love to see Fury against either one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko McGregor in round one is my prediction, what do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
