It's wild watching ALI and how great he was, he never went to the body. Nothing but pinpoint headshots

This is my understanding tooThat would work if they're in the business of building prospects from the ground up. But from what I understand, that ain't what they're doing.
The idea is to take fringe guy like Cletus Seldin and have them compete under their tent, with no oversight from the sanctioning bodies and make him seem all-world.
Come on cuh...
but what's the exit strategy? as long as other actual talented boxers who can command top dollar exist then whoever Dana White builds up is going to be compared to those guys
I guess I'm not understanding how a glorified version of the Contender is supposed to produce real superstars. The biggest guys from that formula were who? Ishe Smith, K9, Mora? None of which I'd consider stars. Now imagine their careers if they never could leave the Contender show
And if it does somehow work what kind of slave contracts are they going have to have these guys in for them to never want to leave? We already saw UFC dudes bounce for a boxing check

Right. So what would we gain from Adam Kownacki climbing up the Zuffa rankings but his name is nowhere to be found on the WBA, IBF, WBC, or WBO?
That's why I think this shyt gone fail. No real Bigg fan is falling for this shyt.

Very very unconventional style
- Pulled straight back when he evaded punches
- Circled a lot to his opponents power hand
- A lot of movement, which was unheard of at the time for a Heavyweight. Commonplace now
- Used a lot of Right hand leads as an Orthodox stance fighter
His reflexes and timing was that good, that he got away with it
One word: GOAT

I abruptly stopped a Boston Celtics video to run and watch this
So you know its serious
- "How you go from saying you can make 147 easy, then the next breath when a fight with Norman Jr is possible, say you are in the 30% percentile fighter staying at 147, and need to move up to 154?"
- "How the hell you automatically get the lineal title at 147 in the first place when the only person you beat was Stanionis?"
- "Didn't you say you can't get up for fights with lesser opponents when you fought Karen, but then you giddy as ever fighting Lima Beans?"

Yeah good for Usyk, the shyt is terrible though, 1 out of 5, the Safdie crash zoom style is played out now, it's become contrived.
You're saying the movie sucks?

My parameters would differ to most, if not all on here, but yes, steaming dogshyt.
We back. I was concerned I could no longer terrorize the ring
