The Army Boxing Thread

Well that was pathetic.God Fury is awful.And this clown want's Wlad next year?

[vandeleur]

And to be fair I give him credit during that Irish mularchy he fought south paw proving he could fight poorly either left or right :D

[Dave's Bitch]

His promoter is making me laugh.He said the fight was a master class.Next up Tomasz Adamek apparently

[vandeleur]

Adamek is a step up in apponents for him at least he has fought for a world title

[Dave's Bitch]

If Adamek does get Fury next i will be hoping and praying he knocks that fucker out.That fight reminded me why i don't watch Tyson Fury fights.He has no natural boxing talent.He plods around the ring on clumsy uncoordinated feet throwing lazy jabs and wild hooks all the while the commentators are shouting "LOOK AT FURY,A SNAPPING JAB AND CRISP RIGHT SET UP BY BRILLIANT FOOTWORK"

Were they watching the same fight i was?

[Dave's Bitch]

Well Wlad knocked Thompson out in 6.I was off by 3 rounds

[vandeleur]

Happened already , thought it would be USA time

Happened already , thought it would be USA time

Nah, America isn't really a factor in the scheduling, airing or promotion of the Klitchko brother's fights and hasn't been for a few years now.

[vandeleur]

Right watched the klit fight ...

Here is my cover version of a binnie breakdown lol

Apart form the first round .. klitchko sticks jab in thompsons face and cocks right ready to land.
World waits for klit to throw it.
5th round bang on the button thompson hit with right. thompson pulls cartoon whatwaz that face and hits canvas.
6th round thompson was dead in the water waiting for klit to throw the right again , klit cool as can be just stalked thompson down.
Then Bang right hand off klitchko and klitch pushed stunned thompson over. fight over .
Thought thompson was doing that thing you do in the band when you want the rest of them to speed up to the ref with the count, he could have carried on but am glad he didnt, what would have been the point.

opinion of fight .....
Easy day at work for klitch , thompson very poor opposition.

[vandeleur]

seemingly tompson is the best american heavy weight out there ...... sad thought.

[Dave's Bitch]

Thompson seemed like he wanted to try and work behind his jab,But that was all he tried to do.The rest of the fight he just filled rounds and gave up in the 6th.It was more entertaining than the Tyson Fury fight though

[vandeleur]

Did u not think it was like watching a movie were u knew the ending , i was just waiting for him to throw the right .. Surprised it took so long to catch him

[Dave's Bitch]

I did yes.They probably told Wlad not to embarrass Thompson.He probably could have put him out earlier

The Donaire fight was great, IMO. Mathebula's 5 inches taller, and Donaire (while eating 8 shots to get in 1) was lunging at him, but when he did connect - WOW. Mathebula had never been down in his pro career either, and that left hook Nonito caught him with in the 4th round was beautiful. Then not sure if it was the 9th or 10th round where Donaire cracked one of Mathebula's teeth right a vicious right, causing Mathebula to basically run from him for the rest of the fight... I thought it was a little closer than the colossally wide margin the judges scored it, but Donaire was impressive as usual.


Interesting that there's been two major fights with broken jaws & cracked teeth lately...Ortiz a coupla weeks ago and now Mathebula.

[binnie]

Donaire delivered.

I suppose Wald delivered in his own way. Who the hell is left for him?

Fury beat up Madalone. No surprises there. 7'' smaller, 38 years old and all the skills of a dead cat. Fury is getting better but until they put him in with someone half decent we'll never know how good he is.
