Both guys took Backward steps last night

[Tha Greatest]

only one of us is crying homeboy, I'm just stating the thought that neither guy has improved a whole lot recently, if you think your boy Wlad is a great fighter after what happened last night, feel free, it's your time 2 brag, but he's a big target with no chin, which will spell doom sooner than later

What happened to Peter TKO 3 Wlad?

it was supposed to spell doom last night! all I am saying is that you are talking as if we JUST found out about Wlad's weak chin last night...as if we JUST found out about Peter's one dimensionality last night...the first time we saw Peter before and Wlad fight was discussed, we knew he was one dimensional...this is boxing...not everyone is Ali...we already knew Wlad had a weak chin...

what elevated them is that we saw Peter's chin finally tested, and he showed his worth...we saw Wlad's stamina and heart tested again, and he showed up better than in the Brewster and Sanders fights...

you cannot train a freaking chin...if it is weak, it is weak...all you can do is train the fighter to try to get hit less, improve stamina, learn to hold at the right times, and learn to survive when hurt...

It's pretty hard to "take" frequent punches in the back of the head.

quick boxing fact:

if you lean in, and hold, and the opponent is still in an offensive position, that opponent CAN HIT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Watch Mesi-Jirov for perfect evidence of a CLEAN, LEGAL punch to the back of the head, it's part of boxing

I hear ya, those topics had been discussed before, so it wasn't altogether "new news"....

like I stated before, my one big hope for last night was for a SUPERSTAR to emerge, we found out, once again, that both guys have big tool-boxes with very few tools in them....okay bad analogy....both guys have great attributes, but niether guy is a special fighter that can dominate the division

That's wrong... Rabbit punching is an illegal move in boxing.

If you keep doing it, you'll get disqualified.

That was Wlad's mistake as much as Peter's. Peter didn't aim at the back of the head. Wlad turned his head way around in the middle of clinches to avoid having his glass jaw shattered by big overhand rights.

yeah, i was WRONG, i've been wrong before, will be wrong again I'm sure, SO WHAT?!?!

BTW Sac Gangs are the SOFTEST on Earth, my original hometown of NAPA has harder gangs, so have fun with your drive-by eggings & bammer doja

was Peter even WARNED for those punches? Nope! You can't get disqualified if there are no warnings/point deductions....

Was Jirov warned or penalized vs. Mesi? Nope!

Was Rid**** Bowe penalized for flooring Holyfield in round 11 of their 1st fight for his shot to the back of Evander's head? Nope!

IT'S PART OF BOXING!

Then you can only put that down to poor refereeing...

I know what you're thinking... But just trust me on this one.

Rabbit punching is an illegal boxing move, go down to your local boxing gym and try to get away with it in sparring and you'll see what I mean.
