Saw this was added to the Golovkin-Stevens card! We could use more undefeated heavyweight hopefuls going at it and these two are not getting any younger.
Can this be a quality scrap or will Perez be way too sharp and a notch above? Mago is not hard to miss but if he gets you stationary shame on you.
Perez has been asleep at the wheel. I'm pulling for him and am confident he will get the ud but who knows how motivated he is. And I agree its nice to see two undefeated up and comers square off.
Looking forward to this match up, its definately gonna help the winners career. I think Perez could win it though, although I can't see Mago getting knocked out.
Winner against Diaz?
I got the funny feeling they were co featuring Tarver with him to feed him to Diaz at a later date, but I much prefer your idea!Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised if either wins. I'm leaning toward Perez by decision or late TKO.
Should be a UD win for Perez. Hopefully he can get his career back on track.
Every person ive seen talk about this fight has picked Perez, yet the bookies have Magomed the favourite, what gives? Ive had some of the 13/10 on Perez myself. Seems strange

If Perez has trained then he's a talented, explosive fighter. But has he trained?
Interesting fight, hard to pick a winner though. I think Perez can take the decision but can he take Magomed's power?
I'll side with Perez by UD for now just because I think Magomed is one dimensional, stiff, and easy to hit. He's not a bad fighter, but he has some flaws that Perez should be able to take advantage of
Its down to Perez looking pretty average in his last few. Ill be waiting to see the weighin before I have a wagerQuote:

He's been a real let down for me so far. A lazy chronic underachiever and I don't use that term as a rule. The sad irony for me as a fan is that he could have easily been in the top 5 by now and he's not even in the top 15. He's got about as much raw ambition as a communist factory worker. I'm taking him to win the ud just to be safe but he should blitz Magomed out and try to make a statement. He's fighting the Russian Wilder. And he's supposed to be the pro Felix Savon. Time to show us.
Not only the bookies who are blinded by Mago's 100% ko ratio...couldn't look at anything else when putting the picks down for the prediction contest. Perez could do with stepping up to the mark big time.
Perez has the skills to pay the bills
But Magomed may strike his head
and send him packing over the hills
without a bundle of soda bread
Over the hills and far away
Mike seems to have just lost his way
A fine pedigree that could go far
If not for the Whiskey in the Jar
Them Irish Girls there eyes are sweet
but they won't keep you on your feet
I still believe that fight's not over
And Perez won't need the four leaf clover
We will all find out tomorrow night
If Perez has come to really fight
if not then Magomed will get the shout
and Mike can drown his grief with stout
For me this was the most enjoyable fight in the HW'S since Tua v Ibeabuchi , both would beat fury and Haye , really good fight from two brave fighters.
Perez has huge natural talent and a rock chin.
perez has been marking time since he came to ireland,he should have had 1 or 2 world title fights by now ,has his handlers no ambitions for mikes talents or is he going to be an old man before he steps into the ring for a title fight
Rewatching now brother and its one of the best hev battles in years.Quote:

There was more action in the first 50 seconds than all 12 rnds of some HW fights. They both put it on the line and reminded you of what a heavyweight fight can be like. Perez is very light on his feet for a big guy and it will be interesting to see how far his new found dedication will take him.
And a world class chin. I hope this is the start of what I've been waiting for. Props to that Russian. Talk about heart and true grit.Quote:

Great fight, much much better than the earlier Towers Browne fight. (mainly due to Towers reluctance to actually come and fight)
Watched it live last night and again today, what a excellent fight:appl: HW at there best
please some one retire the klits Brothers, the most boring HW's to grace or screens.:vd:
It's a shame the fight is marred by the the big fella being seriously injured. Hopefully he recovers.
He got $40,000 for that, Perez $30,000. Wlad and Povetkin carved up $23million.
Boxing is a ridiculous sport/business.

Not too sure about beating Haye, he's certainatly capable of beating Fury but would need to box clever or rusk bring spoiled.Quote:

I can see Perez holding a belt but there's a few things he needs to improve upon, seems to get by on strength and raw talent but at the top level it's not gonna do alone
Boxing the most magnificent fights unfortunately, can end in tragedy it's a sad fact, we are
reminded this sport is dangerous, my heart goes out to Abdusalamov and his family.
Remember this sport is carried out by people, that are professional and all in all nobody dreams
they will get hurt, thank goodness it is very rare theses days.
This fight was extremely hard on both fighters, both took heavy punishment perhaps sometimes
the corner men let, there fighters take a beating I can think of many fights I've seen this happen
past and present.!!!:(

@AdamGB you know the way you throw a combination without thinking about it or show a client how to execute a deadlift without having to consciously go through each segment of the lift in your head ?
That's because you use your body every day.
It was an ok fight for Perez. I had no idea on who would win the fight, having not seen Magomed, but it was a good scrap with some reasonably skilled fighters.
Magomed looked a little soft. Kept on checking his face for damage, and in fact he was damaged, but overreacted to the nature of it. But, it wasn't me taking the punishment.
Wouldn't mind seeing either of them again with better opposition. The fights are out there. Hopefully the guys are innocuous enough to bait some of the other contenders out there, ASIDE FROM Seth Mitchell, into a fight for something meaningful.
So you're saying that you post terrible poetry without even knowing about it because you use your linguistic mind everyday? ??? ;)Quote:

I see my mind and body as one and yes, take great joy in physical expression, not your poetry... but thanks for trying. :)
Now go and play with your head mind.
Look nobody except you called it poetry and nobody but you had to be such a condescending dick about it. I get it, you decide the format and we all follow your rules ?Quote:

Judging by your gargantuan overreaction, 'get out' means (to answer your question) a lot more than the playful dig I though it was.
I didn't mean to insult your 'not'poetry, just a bit of banter... You put it out there, I don't really know what you expected from a boxing forum.
This discussion is bizzare to say the least...
Boxing is an art form. It is also a sport and entertainment, I see no incongruity. Stop trying to reduce everything. You are projecting a load of bollocks. A ? question mark is hardly a gargantuan over reaction. As for highly strung, again I think you are inferring content that is not there.
