Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

didn't cano pull out of a scheduled fight pretty recently? now we know why lol

pulled out like a week ago cuz he had the flu...
I really dont question injuries and illnesses that often but when stuff like this happens immediately after its hard to take it as sheer coincidence.

Showtime goin be fine they got that CBS money behind them

Do yall realize after fights Broner will be interviewed by that douche bag Jim Gray

*imagines Broner's in his best FMJ voice* "Jim Gray dont know nothin' bout boxing!"

 

[surv2syn]

Wow. They are going to really really push this fight. They probably gave Floyd some monstrous $$ guarantees, so they will need to recoup. Good stuff.

Showtime w/CBS is better equipped to promote fights now than HBO....all they needed was the fighters. HBO Sports got complacent and is going the way of the dodo bird. Time Warner's business model only works effectively when other competitors are not strong enough to present a viable challenge. Showtime has worked hard to come up. The only problem is, I feel that they will start putting on bogus matches now that they have more talent....I hope not. Meanwhile, HBO will be forced to put on some better matches or their sports division (which only consists of boxing) may really be extinct soon.

look at merchant enjoying that, must be the alcohol in attendance..
man i miss the 90's even more, the don king cards and rising new talent from the americas..shyt i even miss Ray Torres (looks like some merengue singer, also is in that picture) the wack spanish translator but his voice was dope though, lol.

Ray Torres was funny because he would be mis-translating like hell! Sometimes he would translate something that the fighter absolutely did not say or took out of context. I think he did that to make it sound like more than what it was for theatrical value.....either that or his Spanish was bad.

So, today this MMA kid strolls into my gym looking to get some sparr work.

He walks up to my trainer and starts dropping names and a resume.

My coach: If you want ring work you got to prove you can throw a punch.

MMA: aight let me hit those mitts, I'll show what I got

Coach: Nah, homie go hit the bag

This white boy proceeds to throw some half-assed punches on the heavy bag for 5 minutes and runs back to coach.

MMA Kid: now can I spar? I want to show you my skills.

Coach: :

It was that moment right there where I realized this lil nikka was about to get mad an example of.

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

So coach grabs one the gym regulars and tells him to get ready to work.

MMA Kid: that guy has at least 2 feet on me, I want that kid over there.

Coach: You calling out a guy smaller than you? You just looking to bully. But you know what? fukk it, get in the ring.


The Kid didnt even have a mouthpiece so he runs to the bathroom and stuff his mouth with toiler paper.

While the kids lacing up,

the whole gym is

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

While guys climb in the ring, everyone gathers around like wolves. You could feel the potential fukkery in the air.

The timer resets and the bell goes off...

And the MMA kid start throwing bytchmade windmill punches

Spoiler

like this

And he's getting jabbed hard.

After 30 seconds of flailing his arms The MMA kid backs off and is like

Time out

The whole gym losses it

Coach: Hell nah! Hell nah! The round aint over.

The MMA Kid goes back at it, this time swinging a lot slower and weaker. (still getting jabbed)

after another 30 seconds he drops to his knees.

MMA Kid: M-M-My Heart!

Coach: What heart? You aint got one!

MMA Kid then throws off the gear, grabs his flat brimmed Tapout hat and runs to the door.

He stops and looks back at us like

and the whole gym burst in laughter

Brehs that shyt was pure comedy. True life story.

I can't front, some of the best gym stories come from dudes walking into the guy wanting to spar so bad. Then they get that work by someone who only been training for like 3 months. shyt be funny as fukk.

In late but....

I think Bradley was wreckless because he really want the fans to respect and like him more. He said fukk the trainer and promoter, I'm taking my career in my own hands and I'm about to make a name for myself."
