F that shit about Dirrell vs Curtis Stevens

[Violent Demise]

I agree Dirrell was young and deserves some slack. But as a Boxing fan that fight was a disgrace. It was more track-meet than fight

[Taeth]

So how come Ali and Leonard are so revered? They ran way more than modern fighters, and get way less slack. Since when did using foot movement constitute as running, what Dirrell did in the last two rounds was running, the rest of it was good movement.

Everyone blames the smart boxer instead of the slugger that can't cut off the ring.

Exactly!! I agree.

Boxing is a tough game and I do get piissed off with whiney boxers moaning about being fouled and what not.

If you are good enough surely you can prevent an opponent from holding, fouling or running away, they go biitching to the ref but what can the ref say, they are already in a sport that allows them to punch their opponent, its not the refs fault their too useless to

Everyone moans about Holyfield, even now but it took a little man like Toney to show him up for the slow old fool he is.

While im on the subject of Holyfield, there is no way he came close to beating Valuev, he landed bugger all, he showed good legs for a man his age and thats it, Valuev is too placid to be a fighter, hopefully Hhaye has royally piissed him off and he shows some aggression

Exactly. People appreciate the guy getting tagged 4 times just to get 1 punch in and hate on the guy dodging 4 punches then landing 1 or 2 punches.

[No Contest]

True. Curtis Stevens just came straight at him never taking a side step. Of course Dirrell is just gonna do it until stevens figures out how to corner him. He didnt do alot offensively is my gripe with that perfomance. He could have done alot more and not "cruised".
