Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
By all accounts the Baldimor Forrest fight proved to be a very entertaining matchup. Forrest looked impressive possibly getting back to something approaching his best, Baldimor took some powerful shots and kept on coming.
Seems like it was a good night of boxing after all.
Maybe HBO were correct to screen it.....maybe ;)

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
What a solid fight, even though one sided. I never understood all this outcry on hear for it being a horrible matchup. I did get the winner dead wrong though.

To be honest I don't think many people anticipated Tarver-Muriqui.
At least Baldo comes to fight and you know hes gonna try to make a fight out of it.
I really think Baldo-Forrest will be a pretty good fight.

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
Forrest looked awesome tonight, he put on a great display of boxing, threw everything in the book moved extremely well and was anything but boring... For a one sided fight it was very entertaining I thought. And god damn what the hell does Baldomir have for a head.. He just never ever stops coming forward, no matter what Forrest landed he wouldn't even blink. A very very limited fighter nonetheless though.. He really doesn't do anything well besides plod on and take a beating.

I went with MD thinking Baldo would bring on the heat in the end and Forrest would gas out....
Well Forrest was really tired but so was Baldo.... :-\
Oh! well....
I did pick the over on killersheeps sportsbook. 8)

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
Beating Baldomir is not anything special - Søren Søndergård did it better than anyone back in 1998. But of course it only counts if one American fighter did it.
Baldomir stopped Mikkel Kessler's trainer's (Richard Olsen) son's boxing career. Frank Olsen. He was like 30-0 before being stopped in the 10th. Olsen was never the same again and stopped within a year of the defeat.

1998 was 7 years ago. And this does mean something since Forrest, who was an impressive fighter until the injury, is looking pretty good.
What do you have against American fighters anyways?

Yes, in 1998 Baldomir was in his prime not like the washed over guy of today.

Nothing, it is just so much easier to be an American boxer than a boxer from anywhere else due to the stupid hype that US boxers get. I dont like that issue as pure quality of a boxer should be the issue not the passport.

Every country in the world supports their own fighters. America is actually the most impartial country in the world, rarely do you hear Lampley, Merchant et all cheering for their national fighter.
Watch a Brit fight a foreigner in the UK or an Aussie fight an American in Melborne, or a German fight anybody in the motherland and you'll see what real partisan broadcasting is ;)

True, but I was not hinting the national broadcast but the generel attention a boxer gets.

Kind of like all that hype and attention Winky Wright had from the media for the majority of his career?

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
I always thought of B.A.D as a show for younger fighters so exciting or not,my point was it would have been better served to have some younger fighters on show. BTW,David Estrada won by stoppage yesterday and said he's going to beat on Berto,what do you guys think?

;D Why? Did you think it was gonna be a good fight? Seems like a bit of a stretch considering the two of them have been in like 1 exciting fight combined in the last 5 or 6 years.
I don't even know how good the fight is, but I will download it now.

CC Bilbo Its refreshing to have a non American give us props for once. We have a big media market and they need to write stuff, if it comes off as hype...well thats sells tickets.Peter Plys can hopefully decipher the fluff from the facts. I take it the English dont hype Hatton Khan or Calzaghe..Aussies dont hype Mundine and Katsidis, even Green for that matter.Its the same for every country tha has a decent amount of media coverage. Dont hate on us just because we have alot of fighters and alot of media too.

American's have the least biased commentaries in the world imo. You will never hear Max Kellerman cheer for Floyd when he fights Ricky Hatton but every single UK commentator will be 100% behind the hitman. I'll never forget Harry Carpenter when Bruno fought Tyson for the first time and staggered him. Carpenter yelled 'Get in there Frank!!!!!!!!' at the top of his lungs!
America by vrtue of being the Mecca of boxing has to show more impartiality but of course they are going to be most interested in their own fighters, and that's just the way it should be.

I think thats a great match for Andre berto. Estrada's got a big mouth but he's got balls and he can fight. It'll be a good competitive fight for Berto.

I hate to tell you but there is no way on earth that America is the most impartial country in the world, try telling that to the Swiss.

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
It was a decent fight,better than I expected but still nothing great. A good performance by Vernon but Baldo is just so limited,it's ridiculous.

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
I laughed when Baldomir stopped chasing Forrest and stood in the middle of the ring with a disgusted look on his face. :appl:

That's bull, at least on Sky Sports anyway, you'll always hear Jim Watt telling it like it is, his commentary on Hatton v Tszyu for example was 100% impartial, but John Rawling, Duke McKenzie and Barry McGuigan, fuck me they don't half talk some bollocks.

Bilbo's actually right. British announcers are so bias it's ridicules.

Re: Do the BAD petitioners feel silly now?
British commentators,minus the odd fight here and there are ridiculous. Sometimes,they have no idea what they are talking about which is why I always make sure I have the HBO broadcast if possible.
