I wish BoxNation would replace the two commentators they have working today. Rawlings is especially bad, with monotone voice, repetitive comments, and his intense dislike for mainland European boxers.
Ian Darke, Richie Woodhall and Glen McCrory are better.
Oh what the hell pulev thompson already on I just came back from the store and already in round three...I guess they got one of the other two crappier matches as the main
I agree I like Darke also but I am presuming they are not as cheap.Quote:

Yeah if the first three we thompson then its dead even now, pulev needs to work a bit more he seems to overthink stuff and almost wait for the perfect opportunities...also pulev hits thomspon clean twuce or thrice now and thompson complains back of the head what the hell
Also this ref is stupid either decide you're goin to let em wrestle and fight on the inside or dont
Anyone that's screams during a fight (Apollo being killed aside) should be taken outside and shot.
The state of Heavy Weight Boxing.:vd:
Apparently Pulev is technically excellent? He must be on next, I just watched a big lump with a decent engine but not much else.
Well good we won't have to watch thompson wlad 3, I like pulev but I don't think he's got anything to bother wlad with but at least it be a new challenger.
Pulev looks shit. Thought hed look much better.
He's looked better before, was a bit flat footed in this one, but he's got good combos, speed and timing.Quote:

He schools fury into a different dimensionQuote:

Im not sure about that part. Thompson has been built up beating Price but he took a hell of shelling against Wlad especially first time. He can take his digs.
Uhm yeah cause thompson gets stopped left and right. I don't think pulev is gona beat wlad see thread on page two, but he'd beat fury.Quote:

Abraham looks small.
Looked like a kd to me.
Shihepo won the fight but no way he gets it. Its to close and he never got credit for the kd.
I think Shihepo won too but not by a huge margin.Quote:

lol at the cards. Hahaha
Pulev won a poor match.. Wlads not gonna worry about any challengers if Pulev is the best of the rest. Also what was the deal with Thompson dropping his shorts at the end :confused:
And what do you think Thompsons next move will be? A match with Chisora as suggested at the end?
Enjoyable fight.
Could not agree more! Thompson had a nice little run, but I lost interest years ago.Quote:
