"Ray Austin 6'6 went out in 2 rounds but that was because....."


..... because Austin shit himself on the way to the ring, and some of that shit found its way to the canvas beneath him. Some of that bad footwork you mention may have been caused by Austin's feet slipping on the shit as he was cowering and looking for a safe place to hide.

Probably safe to say AJ will be no Austin.
Why even pretend TitoFan? Just be honest FFS....."Hopefully it's a good fight" is not what you mean "Hopefully AJ KO's Wlad early" is what you mean.


As for Ray Austin, he didn't shit himself, he circled too wide in the ring, ran himself into the ropes and got blasted by a left hook......not everyone who Wladimir Klitschko has fought has been a pissypants coward or do you begrudge that concept? Wlad is a pro, he fights like a pro, like an all-time great pro...yes that includes bending the rules to his favor in some areas because again "If the ref doesn't call it, it's not a foul"...."b-b-b-b-b-but HOOOOOOLDING!!!!!"......

IF

THE

REF

DOESN'T

CALL

FOUL

THERE'S

NO

FOUL

Just a plain and simple way to look at it, but it's always always always met with outrage and disdain....and all I will respond with is evidence: Roberto Duran beat Ken Buchanan by punching him square in the dick.....no foul was called ergo in the history books it's Duran win via KO.


"Safe to say AJ will be no Ray Austin".........he actually could shit the bed like that, it would be very disappointing indeed, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Wlad could come in and look bad too, it's not a given that the fight will be one way or another....we could have a snoozefest boring draw or a double KO or fan man's ghost could wind up crashing into the fight, you never can deal in absolutes, it's all about chance.
