OT: Good Week for Boxing

[SLY]

Thursday 12/9 Tomasz Adamek vs. Vinny Maddalone

Saturday 12/11 Wladimir Klitschko vs Dereck Chisora for Klitschko's Ring/IBF/WBO Heavyweight Title

I'll be rooting for Adamek and KlitschKO! Good boxing fights are few and far between. The Adamek fight should be entertaining... Klitschko, while I still love to watch fight, will most definitely destroy Chisora.

Can I go OT in an OT thread?!? GSP needs to shut up Koscheck in Montreal once and for all.

/I like Klitschko as well

you went to UFC in a boxing thread...

 

[SLY]

Lol, I'm j/k... not really. But I like GSP. Hope he kicks some ass.

Really sucks that more people dont follow boxing... It has lost its edge with all this UFC garbage... Not that I dislike UFC, I enjoy boxing much more, and hate the fact that all these noob MMA fans show no respect to the sport of boxing.

I'm going to show my age again (oh well), but boxing in the 70s was fantastic...Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Norton in the early 70's and Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns in the late 70's into the 80's. Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Alexis Arguello, the list just keeps going on and on and on...

Hagler v Hearns may be the best 3 rounds in boxing history. Those two came out throwing and didn't stop.

There is no passionate fanbase anymore, its really sad. UFC is a street fight. Boxing takes a lot more in my opinion. Just wish the U.S. could produce a good heavyweight.

OT: Looking forward to the movie about Micky Ward, The Fighter. FX is gonna have a series, Lights Out, that looks pretty promising as well.

Gonna be a good one, Khan is a hell of a boxer.
