The 13th Round

You know you're getting old, when singers, fighters and personalities, you grew up with, start passing away. Lost Earnie Shavers, Loretta Lynn and Gallagher. Probably others. I am not a country music fan, but I was born to know who Loretta Lynn was as my grandfather was a coal miner.

The first between Foremsn vs Frazier took place on January, 22nd, 1973, in Kingston. Jamaica. Nothing new here, but the fight broadcast aired on HBO tape delayed. My question is, does anyone know what date the fight aired on HBO? If it aired on HBO on the 01/22/73, at a latet time, then I already ha...

Wow, I am losing all the fighters I grew with. It's funny the other day, as a joke I transferred $100 to my wife's account for services rendered. The security question "Who is the hardest puncher in boxing history?" It took a while but she figured in a game of hangman. In the mid 90s my co...

I was watching Meldrick Taylor vs Primo Ramos 2 and that reminded that Ramos had scored a 2nd round KO over Randell. So I went to look at Randell's record and I had no idea that he past away just one year ago, 12/23/2020. People may have forgotten that Randell did have his own Cinderella story. His ...

Hopefully this card ends before the ufc card This chick fighting Amanda have any chance??? The answer was yes. Amanda seems to be a little light in the heart department. Against Cat Zingano, she jumped out early and pounded Zingano and when Zingano didn't go anywhere Amanda's expression changed and...

RIP

I am not pulling for Wilder, yet I have thought since this fight was announced that Fury will not show-up in shape and try and clown Wilder and get himself KO'ed. It's hard to like a guy like Wilder who blamed everything, including Pluto being demoted as a planet for his loss to Fury. He got his as...

Fury was a maniac at the weigh in, no face off. Pulling for Wilder, some people are lead to believe he has no chance, that they just don’t see him doing it. Yet the boxing world saw him come as close as you can to doing it. Looking forward to this. I am not pulling for Wilder, yet I have thought si...

Fury, who retired from boxing instead of remacthing Wladdy, then delved into booze, coke and who knows what, openly tells the boxing world he was suicidal wants to label Wilder as being unstable 🤔🤔🤔 https://www.boxingscene.com/fury-wilders-very-unstable-tell-himself-all-this-bullsht-i-just-feel-sor...

I would never count Wilder out because he does have the great equalizer. However, I still see Fury winner a decision, but if Wilder can get to the body without that much attack coming back that's a better strategy. Just because a fighter can throw a great head shot though doesn't mean he can throw a...

I had less problem with this stoppage than I had with the stoppage against Joshua. Joshua was spent, his attack was sputtering to a near stop, I saw no sign that Joyce was going to relent anytime soon. Takam (or Povetkin) of 5-6 years ago, probably wins a wide decision or even stops Joyce. Joyce is...

Nick Diaz will be returning to the octagon on September 25th at UFC 266 against Robbie Lawler. It will be a 5 round fight. Will always watch Diaz brothers. Although I think Nate is still serving a suspension for he use of PEDs, THC. Didn't Nate face plant face Lawlor already. Nate isn't suspended. ...

Will always watch Diaz brothers. Although I think Nate is still serving a suspension for he use of PEDs, THC. Didn't Nate face plant face Lawlor already.

Change has to start somewhere. I thought there was something wrong with me when I was kid, as I couldn't quite grasp why Larry Holmes was called the IBF Heavyweight Champion of the World and not just the Heavyweight Champion of the World. By the August 87 I understood that there was the WBA, WBC and...

At least on the forums I visit there hasn't been 1 person to claim Loma won, it was that clear a win FB is Horrible for Fanboyism....id assume thats where he is hearing it....none of the Loma fans here has said much other than Loma started to late... Nope Youtube. Even the host of the upload is now...

At least on the forums I visit there hasn't been 1 person to claim Loma won, it was that clear a win Well it wasn't a forum, it was a couple of dipshits on Youtube on a channel called FightersRep. Where host of the channel claimed that Lopez is ducking a rematch with Loma. I played devils advocate ...

Didn't see it but I heard that Loma looked good enough I expect him to rematch Teo, probably get beat again. I have seen him do the slow start/coast thing several times before and I think it's part of who he is rather than it being some anomaly vs Teo. I think that Teo's strength bothered Loma and ...

I like Loma, but listening to him whine all weekend on ESPN about the Teo fight, was a bit of a turnoff. He got whooped in the teo fight. Didnt fight for 6 rounds. He only has himself to blame Yep. He lost the fight fair and square, I do not think the fight was a draw and at best for Loma he won 5 ...

Me too, but then again I thought Kool Keef was going to take Manny out.

I almost bought tickets to this fight as I am in Vegas until this Wednesday. However, the ticket prices were a little steep for the fights shown. Very good fight though and for the first time I remember I scored the fight the same as all three judges. I thought that Taylor coasted a bit in some of t...

One of my favorite actors. First movie I remember seeing him in was Woman in Red with Gene WIlder, then of course Midnight Run. Only after watching King Kong recently did I realize Grodin played in it. I know I am getting old, SRL is 65, Marvelous if gone and now Grodin. These guys were fixtures in ...

I only caught the last two fights live... both great. The Usman KO was shocking to me I thought Rose's KO was the more badass of the two, but Usman's was more unexcepted. Rose can show up out of nowhere and end fights with a kick, a punch or a flying armbar. She is very dynamic and I expected her f...

Valentina beat Nunes in the second fight, so not sure what you're referring to here.

Incredible.

Hey Sick, I don't regret ordering it either and this is first UFC event I have ordered since 1997. But with two the undercard fights with Zhang vs Namujas and Shevchenko vs Andrade was really the driving force for why I ordered it. I watched it and it is the best card I have ever watched of modern U...
