[imp]

Ortiz and Povetkin should be permanently banned from the sport..hope AJ destroys him.

is teddy still training Povetkin? This is an interesting enough gatekeeper fight, but enormously more interesting had it happened years ago.

No that ended a couple years ago....I think even before the Wlad fight. Teddy like Povetkin and Povetkin liked Teddy but the entourage with Povetkin made that relationship untenable.


I'd really like for Teddy or Kevin Rooney to get another top fighter out there. Everyone loves that style of fighter especially at the heavyweight level. I don't think there have been many since Tyson who have had enough explosive speed and power to do well with that style.

Rooney is a good question. Can't remember much except him with Jeremy Williams early. They packaged him same seek and destroy style, all jokes aside Williams could punch, fire in the belly and fast but his achilles heel was that achilles chin. I think what gets less billing with Tyson was his reflex and speed and cannot see anyone today with the systems engrained in them. The guy could knock down chimneys but his delivery and placement were exceptional under them.

Leonard Pierre Anasta a Middleweight/Jr Middleweight from Haiti and Thomas Hayes a heavyweight from Chicago were guys who Rooney was training and had SOME success before finding their level.


Maybe Rooney should work with the amateurs more IDK. That style has it's pros and cons, but when it's effective it's a glorious thing to behold. With heavyweights being taller and lankier than ever a style where you give such a small target and come in "under the radar" so to speak would be very nice for smaller or shorter heavyweights.
