Chris Byrd ***insults*** Riddick Bowe to his face, says he FOUGHT ALL WRONG

I am reading Hide's book now, Herbie did have a weak chin.

hide was a great fighter, there was never any game plan, knock them out or get knocked out trying

and he threw loads of punches, has there ever been a HW that has thrown as many in a fight

im not sure he did have a weak chin, I just don't think he was that bothered about protecting it, always trying to land his punches first

Hide may have had greater success as a Cruiserweight. He had big power but it was also his vulnerability. He would over commit with his right. If it didn't land or his opponent could take it he was in trouble.

Hide's book is pretty good read, he said himself he was too small at the weight but manager and promoter wanted him to fight at the weight to make the most money. He made over $3miilion against Bowe and $250,000 for every defence Bowe made after he beat him. :)

how 250k after every Bowe defense?

Officially he only made 1 defence against Gonzales, after that he beat Holyfield at al but not for the WBO title.

He should have been able to hold the Cruiserweight title for five years with his quickness and Hard Punch

I often wonder how Evander Holyfield vs Ike Ibeabuchi would have gone down.....I certainly know Evander would not lose that fight, I'm just wondering if he would have KO'd Ike.

El Presidente with the workrate and chin he showed against Tuaman would have kept Holyfield on the outside

Bowe sounds like he has two brain cells left and one of them is sick.

Why, as an English teacher, do you say ***insults*** and the like?

You know exactly what you are doing Brock. Pure hyperbolic bollocks and you know it.

If you could explain what three asterisks before and after a verb does in terms of English grammar I would be more than happy to know. Furthermore if you could try to explain the logic behind what you are implying it would also be good to know. Lastly, what are asterisks serving in your interpretation of the English language?
