Just watched the No Mas fight

Nah deadass tho why did Durán just quit like that? I ain’t never seen no shyt like this in my life
Because he was taxed from having to lose a lot of weight for the rematch..that and Sugar Ray was toying with him and making him look foolish

Yeah I ain’t realize how close the dates were between the 2 fights, no chance that would happen nowadays


Imo 2nd fight ain’t seem close, Duran was catching power punches left and right; was visibly woosy in them middle rounds

I remember this fight. Back in the day us UK brehs hated Bruno but loved Lewis. UK cacs loved Bruno and hated Lewis.

There were reasons why. But I will use that as a random thought for another day.
New documentary on Amazon prime did a good breakdown of it.

Definitely worth a watch, I watched it with my friend who knows nothing about boxing. He fell in love with Nigel Benns fighting style and persona

Bruno had him :mjlol:

@Ari Gold Bawse

this particular review i read on that documentary is the reason why i want to watch it

That tooth detail alone clinches for me the case that boxing should be banned. But the makers of Four Kings detail many worse indictments of the alleged sport. There are gruesome tales of detached retinas, suicide attempts and brain damage, plus more toxic trash talk – some of it horribly racist – than the world in general and Black men in particular deserve.

What's Tim Bradley beef with Haney :gucci:
He was going in unreasonably about the lawsuit. Bringing up irrelevant shyt like Haney going to private school and all
It's unprecedented move for a boxer to sue over a failed drug test but how is Haney the bad guy in this. Just because x amount of boxers beat dudes who were on PEDs doesn't mean that's an acceptable standard (he bought up DLH vs Vargas and some other cases)
