Touch of Sleep put to Sleep by Meehan.

[nervousxtian]

Not sure why that guy kept getting any hype at all, he was always way to small to be a legit heavyweight, and never fought good with top guys, but to lose to Kali Meehan on short notice.

Ouch.. :patsch

How do you know this? :huh

Fightnews.com

Golota McBride may be starting next, but there could be a 20 or so minute wait for it to start.

[diamondDave]

what happened?

[Bummy Davis]

TOS was boring, Mehann, where has he been

[Bummy Davis]

The fight was compettitve until tos GOT DROPPED THEN DID NOT ANSWER BELL

[jopez707]

Did you talk to somebody who is at the fight?

[JETSKI]

ITS ON FIGHTNEWS.COM!!!!!!!!!!:patsch

[Bigcat]

Meehan opened up a competetive match.. Davarryll is a but dodgy around the whiskers.......

[Asterion]

:patsch

[El Bombasto]

good win for checkmate (love the handle btw), i figured tos would tko him

[Butch Coolidge]

Is Meehan the same guy who was shafted out of the WBO title in a fight against Lamon Brewster?

[Asterion]

Yeah, he was also TKOed in 4 rounds by Hasim Rahman.

[El Bombasto]

Thats nothing to be ashamed of. Rahman has good power. Not that Meehan is a great fighter, but its better than being TKOed by Zuri Lawrence

he was also tko'd in one round by danny williams. though, in his defense, he's never had a good trainer (come to think of it, I don't think he's ever trained fulltime) or a promoter that gives a shit about him

[andyZOR]

You were right!

[ozziebattler]

You right about meehan never training fulltime or having any real backing by sponsors etc..

His job is as a garbo man with boxing being another way for him to support his large family..

Not a bad rugby league player either.Was playing semi pro a few months before the brewster bout..

Good win for him.Hope he got a decent paycheck especially for taking it on such late notice.

[nervousxtian]

Meehan has been responsible for two big things in the heavyweight division lately. Showing what kind of fighter Lamon Brewster really is, and helping the huggers to overrate Hasim Rahman all over again when he was never that good ever.

I agree with you 100% but shit hasbeen rahman was like a wild pitbull when the night he fought meehan..

That was his career best performance..He was in good shape and started banging straight from the opening bell.

Hasbeen is one weird boxer..Obviously has some ability but shit he is up and down.(most times down).

[Gabriel R.]

I'm surprised. I expected Williamson to win. He had some good fights with good opponents. Now a loss vs. Meehan. Too bad I couldn't see this fight.

Yeah, he looked awesome in that fight, but sadly, he almost never fights that way. He's a lazy lazy fighter, who takes too much time off in fights, and almost never fights to his potential, and is a bit chinny on top of all that.

When people used to say Vitali was scared of him, I had to laugh.

[ozziebattler]

Meehan might be back in the frame for a title shot??

Or atleast another big bout..

[Big T]

Wish I could see the Golota fight. For as long as it last, should be fun to watch.

I dont get why most heavyweights these days are so lazy..

I go to the gym 4 times a week,also run early in the morning and generally eat healthy.All for the sake of staying fit..

You get these elite boxers getting offered millions of dollars and the best facilities provided and they still cant be fucked getting into proper fighting shape(peter,toney,rahman and mcbride).

I just dont get it...How can you have a gut when you are getting paid millions to train for a upcoming world title bout.

Just dont get it..

[Big T]

Meehan vs Golota next?

[RUSKULL]

Is Meehan the same guy who was shafted out of the WBO title in a fight against Lamon Brewster?

Meehan beat Brewster's ass in that fight but he was robbed by Don's judges.....................

[RUSKULL]

Golota survives an early assault by McBride to win by TKO in the 6th!

[geppy]

Teddy Atlas picked TOS Williamson as the #1 HW to watch in boxing at one point, lol. Atlas done the same for Dominic Guinn. Then guess who , Sam Peter.

[Heavyrighthand]

Meehan must have been working on his boxing and power over the last couple years.

Maybe he's gained enough to be competitive. He certainly showed he had something against Brewster, then the Rahman loss kind of took the wind out of Meehan's sail.

Good to see him back with a pretty good win. TOS is no bum, and a win over him is something that should earn Meehan a bit of clout, like a televised fight with someone top 15, or so.

Maybe Meehan can get a fight with Peter next, after McCline beats Peter. YEAH!!!!!!!

[emanuel_augustus]

I had Meehan picked by ko3, TOS is shopworn and fairly chinny.

Meehan looked good against Brewster, I wouldn't mind seeing him on tv again.

[Bobby]

anton i dont agree, i am a meehan fan but against rahman he was getting hit flush and the corner stopped it cause they could see he just didnt have it that night

[Zakman]

I agree with you 100% but shit hasbeen rahman was like a wild pitbull when the night he fought meehan..

That's what'll happen to ya when you have a glass jaw as bad as Rahman. :nod

Speaking of china chins, I guess the verdict's in on Williamson, huh??:yep

[geppy]

It would of been nice to see these fights. TOS vs Meehan, Golota vs Mcbride. Wtf else does Showtime have to show that is so great? They show the same movie 45 times a month , they could take some out of that , and show the undercard for christ sake.

[Cruiser1]

He didn't do anything to hurt his cause in the title picture by winning tonight. Maybe Chagaev can fight him as a voluntary. They were considering Michael Moorer so it's not like it would be out of the question to see Meehan wind up getting a title shot.

You fucking kidding me??

Give meehan the shot.Moorer just living off past glory's(like 10 plus years ago)

[NBT]

Speaking of china chins, I guess the verdict's in on Williamson, huh??:yep
Was there ever a question about it? I remember an amateurfight 1998 or 99 when he tried to slug it out with Felix Savon in the first round, got caught with a perfect counter right within the first minute of the fight and was "put to sleep". :yep

[Strike]

This nicely sums up how shit the division is. A guy who dropped Wlad and had him in trouble gets done by fucking Meehan.
Likewise Meehan did well against Brewster who himself beat Wlad but Meehan has been starched by Danny "Mr Kipling Cakes" Williams, and battered by several other fighters.

Oh and then we have Sam Peter who dropped Wlad three times and he has just been put all over the shop by McCline another run of the mill fighter who Wlad battered.

The division is truly the worst it has been since Jack Johnson won the world title, only Wlad is worth a damn thing and he would have been fucked up in any of the other eras due to freezing the second he gets hit.

[Mendoza]

Is Meehan the same guy who was shafted out of the WBO title in a fight against Lamon Brewster?

YES. He is also the same guy who was TKO's by Danny Williams in one round.

[rags19]

Its a good win for Meehan, but he was clearly losing the fight and was in danger of going out himself, Williamson had Meehan in trouble in the 3rd, 5th & 6th, cut him under the left eye and had the eye closing.

What happened was at the bell to end round 6, both fighters threw overhand rights, Meehan's got there first and hit TOS on the top of the head, dropping him. TOS beat the count an made it back to this corner where the referee was allowing him to continue.

About 30 seconds into the rest period between the 6-7 rounds, the doctor ordered the fight stopped because he was concerned about where Meehan's punch landed. Meehan TKO6 win...

You are an idiot.:good

I guess a fighter has to always perform well enough to always beat everyone he's supposed to beat, and alwasy perform well enough to beat everyone who was beaten by others he has beaten. :blood

This is boxing and things change, and fighter's performances VARY from year to year as is expected......They also improve and regress as time goes by...........as is expected.

By your reasoning, the division sucked when Ali was beaten three times, and it also suddenly sucked when Tyson was beaten........I guess Tyson was a bum for getting beaten by someone he was expected to beat?

Again, you are an idiot. :good A BIG idiot.

Well, I didn't have any question, but didn't think Meehan had the pop to take advantage of those fragile whiskers.

It's now pretty clear that just about ANYBODY can starch Williamson if they catch him right. :nod

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

not the best view, but still worth watching

[Vantage_West]

:patschmight as well join in:patsch

[Vantage_West]

Moorer???

You fucking kidding me??

Give meehan the shot.Moorer just living off past glory's(like 10 plus years ago)well to be honest he is a perfect pick for prospects who are looking for an opponant they can knock out and has former credentials...but what moorer did to cousier was quite remarkable...cliff is a durable enuogh heavy with decnt power and chin just doesnt have the hieght or talent...but that double right hook:admin .

he's good enough to knock guys out has great defencive skills and hanspeed for his wieght and age...phh why not man talented southpaws are rare at heavy.

[Vantage_West]

he was also tko'd in one round by danny williams. though, in his defense, he's never had a good trainer (come to think of it, I don't think he's ever trained fulltime) or a promoter that gives a shit about himozA65ZmFJbE heres the danny williams - kali meehan fight.


i dont think kali was weak chinned if you look he was caught so early on and got up groggy with danny ready to bomb not just that...once he was knocked down you can see he was birght and ready but just embaressed.

great win for williams

[Curtis Lowe]

I can't stand TOS, but give him credit for one thing......he sure knows how to get knocked out!

[Zakman]

I can't stand TOS, but give him credit for one thing......he sure knows how to get knocked out!

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

That he does!!:yep:lol:

[Lampley]

I've always thought Meehan had a glass chin. I think I still believe that. He made Brewster look terrible the same way The White Wolf made him look terrible, and neither Meehan nor The White Wolf is very good.

Of course, Brewster gets a boost because of the WK KO, after getting the shit kicked out of him for several rounds but showing heart to take out an exhausted Klit.

That fight caused a big fucking headache in the HW division. It took several years to see what Brewster was about, and Meehan, Rahman, SL and eventually Briggs were able prop themselves up really based on one unfortunate turn of events.

I'm ready for new blood blood to emerge.

No you are the fucking idiot. The division is shit. The only variation here is which one of the crap fighters outside of Wlad is going to put in a crap peformance next.

All the guys hyped as being a good heavy like Peters stink in comparison to the fighters of the past. They are one dimensional and that dimension is not even a good one.
It is nothing to do with losing, if they had any ability and were beating each other or going back and forth competeng like an Ali, Foreman, Frazier mix then fine. But these are (excluding Wlad) a bunch of also rans. Guys who have been around for years doing nothing much and then a few guys who have come from nowhere with padded records...

So we have about 6 Eastern European fighters hyped and then they all show their true worth in god awful world title fights and then we have the also rans like Briggs winning a world title as an old man, and guys like fucking Meehan and not so long ago Larry Donald....:patsch

If you want to discuss the merits of this heavyweight divison, please do, you will be horribly owned.

[geppy]

Wow, that was a big time KO by Meehan!

[AJAX]

that was an old fashioned haymaker.

[Zakman]

Where did this video come from?

Clearly, somebody taped it right in the arena. Why they were focusing on the monitor, and not on the ring, is what I don't get.

Anyway, Williams got STARCHED with a capital "S." He went back and then he flopped forward - this should be in the running for KO of the year, imo.:yep

The shooter obviously was up high. Camera probably wouldn't have offered much from the ring itself. A pretty good way to do it, IMO. You can see the folding chair action very clearly!

At the end, they turn the focus on the ring, though - and it seems to offer a pretty clear view. That's why I was questioning it.

But, either way, you sure can see Williamson fold like like an accordian!! :lol:

Ranks right up there with that KO Ding-a-Ling scored not long ago. :good

[emanuel_augustus]

Oof, that was vicious. I had picked Meehan to win in 3 because Williamson is pretty shopworn at this point, and has been prone to getting hurt.

That was vicious.

Oh, and Showtime didn't deem it important enough to show on their main broadcast in the U.S.

Maybe they should have.

[Marciano Frazier]

Looks like Williamson's over the hill at this point.

[emanuel_augustus]

When was he on top of the hill?
He was a prospect back 4 or 5 years ago until Mesi starched him in the first.

Also, remember this is a guy that dropped Wlad and was arugably winning the fight when it was stopped on the cut.

[nervousxtian]

That'd be KO of the Year if not for it NOT being a KO.

Should of been a TKO right then, Williamson was done.. can't believe he got up.

What a huge overhand haymaker.

[Marciano Frazier]

When was he on top of the hill? He had some solid wins going into the Mesi fight, and after that, he beat McCall, Castillo(who was top 25 at the time), Jefferson, and Mollo(who was undefeated at the time and has gone on to prove himself to have some substance), went the distance with Byrd in a(stunningly boring, but) close decision, and decked Wlad before losing a technical SD.

All-in-all, a pretty solid body of work. He was a top 15 guy for 3-4 years. Compared with this, that's "on top of the hill" for sure.

[Zakman]

TOS has no chin and that is the reason he always gets knocked out when he steps up in class.

Exactly. He could weigh in at 250 lbs of solid muscle and it wouldn't help his fragile whiskers one bit.

Heck, as the Meehan fight demonstrates, all it takes is a fringe contender to send Williamson into dreamland.:yep

[geppy]

Teddy Atlas had TOS Williamson the #1 ranked HW prospect in the World at one point! Then Teddy Atlas, ESPN and company started the Dominic Guinn express as well. The lastest rave is Sam Peter , and I dont think he is nearly as good as they claim. Although, still much better then the bombs of Williamson and Guinn.

They claimed Peter, had Foreman, Tyson like power. Really ESPN is just full of shit.

[Bigcat]

The chin actually is never always his downfall.. heholds that head up very high and gets caught aroundhis temple.. ilove hisstyle but its a bit too door die..

[BoxingGuru]

He was a prospect back 4 or 5 years ago until Mesi starched him in the first.

Also, remember this is a guy that dropped Wlad and was arugably winning the fight when it was stopped on the cut.

Winning what fight what the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to re-write history because he didn't win ONE round. All he did was run the whole time just like against Byrd. Man that pisses me off when people say he was winning that fight.

[El Bombasto]

good quality win for meehan, and good awareness, he timed that punch perfect

[El Bombasto]

He was a prospect back 4 or 5 years ago until Mesi starched him in the first.

the fight went to the scoredcards becaus of the cut, wlad won based on the score. how was williamson "arguably winning?"
