Anthony Dirrell back in action on FNF

[marbleheadmaui]

Well marblehead I mean no disrespect but think of it this way I'm not saying Wolak and Rodriguez have the same technical ability of any of the other fighters I mentioned. Ebb and flow of fights is due to the close skill levels of the guys in the ring which is why I said "1 fighter makes a mistake the other capitalizes" when Bowe allowed Holyfield to get inside Evander made him pay, when Riddick created space he made Evander pay it was only because both fighters were on the same level that they were able to survive those ebbs and flows.

No disrespect at all, we're just talking here

But you don't see a distinction between an ebb and flow where guy one can change the tide merely by throwing a jab whereas in a second fight a guy needs to throw a jab, cross and hook, then step and throw another cross?

Isn't the second example being conducted at a far higher level of skill? Doesn't the second example show a far higher level of adaptability? Isn't countering a long combination like that to reassert control dramatically more difficult and impressive than merely being able to counter a jab to do so?

I think moreso than the commentary was this was coming off the back of Haye/Klitschko which gave it a relatively exciting, fan friendly, full of heart fight.

Yeh I'd rather have them 'real' and barking maybe than some stuffy over produced network yapping head, but damn Teddy was inaudible and sounded the pub drunk for a second

Does Dirrell's re-entry into the ring mean his "Neurological damage" was BS?

Wrong Dirrell, I think his long lay off had something to do with his lymphoma.

Crap. Oh well. That's what I get for not paying attention! Thanks!

Wolak and Rodriguez both looking for the rematch, Rodriguez calling for it on the Margarito undercard.

"I targeted it but unfortunately I couldn't pop it...I was gonna pop it but I couldn't get it....."

This my friends is why boxings lifeblood comes from the "journeymen" and contenders.

Delvin looks like a movie star, Pawel...well let's just say he has a face made for a phone call.

Never trust a boxer with a palindromic name.

TWENTY POUNDS IN A WEEK

That's just not responsible matchmaqking.

Anyone here taken the plunge on the 3D thing yet? I actually let me wife talk me out of it.

I don't recall seeing Anthony Dirrell before, but I probably have, hopefully he doesn't fight like his brother Andre.

[CFH]

Anyone have a link?

Fucking TSN.

[marbleheadmaui]

Someone needs to train Alegele with a book under his left armpit to learn to get that elbow tucked in.

Is 3D something they can get us hooked on and charge money for?

[killersheep]

Elegele looks bad, if Martinez can jump this it's over.
