Dirrell 0.4 oz over the 168 limit/ Abraham Taylor make weight

[ross]

Taylor has twiglet legs, Abraham has big solid legs.

Yeah definitely, its weird how many black athletes have really skinny legs, in fact I would say its the majority.

I wonder if that's one of the reaons why they are generally more succesful than white's, their body weight is better distributed as white folk tend to have stockier legs in general?

Ok Bilbo, I don't want to turn this into a thread about race, because it isn't, but that above statement is bollocks & you'll be able to work that out yourself if you look at

1. The NFL
2. All manner of black footballers, notable examples - Michael Essien, Roberto Carlos & Thierry Henry
3. Mike Tyson
4. The entire Jamaican sprint team both male & female.

Better distribution of weight includes having more down by your legs. Taylor having skinny ones compared to Abraham might be part of the reason he can take shots off Miranda with his jaw hanging off whilst Taylor's legs have a tendency to not hold out. Also why they restructured Khan's body to move more muscle down to his legs.

Anyway back to the topic, both Froch & Dirrell look a bit gaunt to me. I don't know what possible 'spys' Froch could have in Dirrell's camp, I suspect it might be more of Froch's ever so slightly fantasist mind. But with Dirrell not making the weight at the first go of things, my confidence in him has just shortened

I dont think it would be that hard for Froch to have a few spys knocking about as Dirrell has been staying and training in a Nottingham hotel.[/quote]

Roberto Carlos isnt black, is he?

Roberto Carlos isnt black, is he?

Yeah, he is, he just has a mixed ethnic background, but all of him, Ronaldo, Rivaldo & Ronaldinho are of African descent & in Brazil are classed as black. If you find a picture of him with hair, you'll see what I mean.

If Dirrell was tight at the weight he wouldn't have come back at 167.something, he would have come back bang on.

I thought it was just the Dirrell fight tonight cus I haven't been keepin up on boxing lately but this is great news that Arther and Jermain are fighting too.
