Fair enough. You can never count out guys like McCall because they are so unpredictable, but I just think style wise this is a very bad fight for him.

i just hope McCall doesnt start crying like he did against Lennox :|

[Marcus]

He fought Gomez before and was getting schooled before it got stopped. He is only getting older and slower as time goes on, what makes you think this time will be any different?

You might be right roy, but i just like how McCall seams very focused on his boxing atm. I know nothing about Gomez so i havent got a lot to go on there, but all i can scream is


GO THE ATOMIC BULL

[Marcus]

Yeah that Gomez looks fast!!! like he was on coke or something :yep

[Dr Gonzo]

Yeah that Gomez looks fast!!! like he was on coke or something :yep
:lol:

[Marcus]

But he seamed to hit McCall but McCall face was perfect, maybe he hasnt got much of a punch of McCall chin is good.

McCall said he is pissed about him being on the gear and i think he will KO him .....fingers crossed anyway.

he has a good punch - McCall just has a fucken awesome chin - one of the best in the division IMO

[maco_187]

one of the best? thats an understatement hes prob got the greatest chin he has been hit with absolute bombs through the years and still stands uprite, im pretty sure hes never been knocked down?? and sparred over 300 hundred rounds with tyson, hes the danger man certainly in this fihgt because he can punch and rarely will he get hurt but im sticking to my cokeman gomez to win.....

[Marcus]

Is that your car Maco?

[MSTR]

Yeah that Gomez looks fast!!! like he was on coke or something :yep
Coke would give him about a 240% increased chance of getting a heart attack, but thats about it IMO. Gomez will win this one. Bye Bye V Cash Banker!!! How much did you bet?

[Marcus]

McCall looks great for his age!! for any age really!! and Gomez looks like a piece of shit.

Good start to the week for me. I think that this is going to be a great week for my vcash. I just wish I had more money to bet on that 3 outcome thread they created, because the odds are VERY good considering.

[Kegsy]

Wat a KO by Bute!!!
Snapped Berrio's head back in a bad way.

[Dekkers]

Hey guys, i'll update (both weeks) on Monday, my uncle had a stroke unfortunately, damn shame, but atleast it looks like he'll make a recovery, not sure if he'll be back at 100% or not.

[Kegsy]

lenny zappa by DEVESTATING ko:deal

Yep - it was devastating alright (before the towel came in) It wasn't a pretty fight but hell was it ever action packed. WOW!

[BoppaZoo]

Dekkers whenever mate no rush and also hope your auncle makes a full recovery.

Hows Bute's win. Wow.

After that i feel he would stand a faily good chance against Mundine.

[Robot16]

Yeah i just saw the ko and damn man, he got clocked in the corner.
Imo he was out after the first punch, then two more big lefts finished it.
Impressive by bute.

[Robot16]

We're lookin good so far Roy! Only upsets can stop us now just about!
Yous nailed it this week, good work.
Sturm will get the points win.

[MSTR]

A draw in germany. Fuck me dead. Bye bye perfect round and bye bye a tonne of vcash. What a bitch. I was watching the round by round report and I thought it was in the bank. Unbelievable.

[maco_187]

fukn spewing as well it would have been a perfect week for me aswell just picked bute by ud, i havent seen the fight yet but apparently big ko....

Darchinyan TKO 12

[MSTR]

Still can't believe the damn Sturm fight. I had heaps of cash on not only a Sturm win but on the treble as well. If he had of come through I would have been laughing. Sturm is over rated IMO. I seriously hope Pittman gets a shot at him some time soon. Could be an upset, provided Pitt has a couple more really tough fights first.

Yeah, totally agree.
If Pittman has a couple more testing fights with opponents of awkward styles & maybe face an old former world champ as well, & i reckon he can knock off the overrated Sturm.

Sturm looked very average - he would get owned by Abraham :!:

When Kegsy puts up this weeks fights, just pick who you think will win, either by points or stoppage, and put a joker on the fight you think is a sure thing. You'll start at the bottom of the table with whoever is comming last, but not to worry, each season is only 12 weeks long anyway.

He's doing alright mate, back at home now, some weakness through the left side but he's already getting around the house ok. Seems to be normal mentally though, that's the main thing :good

[Hmmm]

spewing. could have been much higher, since i missed a week... (or did I get minimum points that round??)

I see you have been getting good results mate. Just dont make the same mistake and tip against Vazquez again ok. :good

[Dekkers]

spewing. could have been much higher, since i missed a week... (or did I get minimum points that round??)

You got the 'away' (everything on the left by decision), something like 14 points that week, basically you didn't tip and still managed to beat most people :patsch

ok, lol, ill take that :D

Byrd is quick but his chin is pretty shaky - i am led to believe Povetkin has good power too :hey

[MSTR]

I don't think his chin is that shaky. Ike is a MASSIVE puncher at heavy, as is Wlad. They are the only two to beat him. He has been in there with Tua and lasted the distance, as well as holyfield and a heap of other top guys. I am actually changing my pick right now to Povetkin on points.

probably not a bad idea - Byrd will be more likely to throw combinations from the outside and keep moving away

[MSTR]

Byrd is a very good defensive fighter. Watch his fight vs Ike Ibeaubuchi for reference. Even in defeat, he was extremely hard to hit, and very frustrating. The fight against Tua is probably a better example as well. Uses a lot of head movement, and unorthadox defensive technique like bending at the hips and sitting against the ropes. The only thing I really see getting to Byrd here is age or carelessness. I think Povetkin will outwork him though.

I wonder if all the punishment he has taken will start to catch up on Byrd.
Povetkin will stop him IMO.

i am going out on a limb to make things interesting :deal

[MSTR]

Big move banker. Povetkin is still relatively in experienced still, and Byrd is somewhat under rated. I don't think this will be as easy a fight as everyone thinks. If byrd comes in good shape he could be a very tough fight. He has mainly sturggled against the really big Heavies, which from memory won't be a problem with Povetkin.

[Marcus]

I hope you get all 5 wrong and fall down near me Banker :yep if its possible to fall that far :-(

yeah im not sold on Povetkin - i watched a few of his fights on youtube and i wasnt overly impressed. He throws alot of big looping hooks and seems to be quite inaccurate with his punches. He has only had 13 pro fights and the best on the resume was a win over Larry Donald who was coming off two losses and a draw with Ray Austin :roll:. He doesnt seem to be as big and hard hitting as some of the other guys Byrd has faced either so i cant see Byrd looking intimidated like he did against Wlad. I just pray Byrd comes in shape and hasnt lost too much of his hand speed :good

Style wise Wlad was a terrible fight for Byrd, simply because he was so big, and could out box and out punch Byrd from the outside. Wlad is probably the only fighter in the heavies right now who is actually faster then Byrd, which pretty much meant he had no way of beating him. This should be a really interesting test for Povetkin. Will give you a a tonne of credit if you pick this against the odds.

Your analysation of Povetkin is pretty spot on too. He will probably succeed in a lackluster HW division, but is no world beater. I have noticed lately that your boxing knowledge seems to have really improved, and your posts on some fights have been pretty spot on. Have you been watching a lot more boxing recently?

thanks mate :good, yeah i have been trying to avoid the lounge and spend a bit more time posting about boxing - after all thats why we are all here! Now that i have access to the worldboxingvideoarchive again i have been watching 9 or 10 fights a week so i think my knowledge has prob. improved a bit :D

but with that said - half the guys who we tip i have never heard of :oops:

[Dekkers]

I quite like Povetkin, I don't really recall him looping his hooks that much, but then it's been a while since I last looked at one of his fights. Povetkin is good combination puncher with fast hands, and solid (not great power), technically he's quite well rounded, defence could use a little fine tuning, but he moves well, keeps good balance, can fight inside or out, and has a big kit of punches.

He has a lot of tools, the only area he's really lacking in are the physical ones, he needs to build up some strength (preferrably fast twitch muscle type, build up his speed and power at the same time), he's hired a strength coach as of late so we'll see if any extra mass he's put on has slowed him down. If he manages to build up a little more speed and power, as well as shore up his defence a bit more, he could easily rule the current division.

Personally I think Byrd is just about done, he's been slowing down more and more with each fight, he's looked thicker late into his career but it hasn't really translated into a better punch. Now he's comming off a long layoff and is up against an active hungry fighter, sometimes guys look good comming off layoffs, but with a fighter like Byrd whos' speed and reflexes play a big part of his game, I can't see any positives comming from this layoff. I'll go out on a limb and pick Povetkin by stoppage when I put up my tips, it'll be a decent scrap, but I think Povetin will get on top of him as the fight goes on and break him down late, Byrd will get in some decent shots but it'll be one sided on the whole. At this stage I think Byrd is a step up from Donald in name only... a fight with Brock will be much more interesting/difficult.

Good post, although I think that Wlad would thoroughly beat Povetkin. Povetkin is a good fighter IMO, but not great. Byrd is still a very tricky fighter, with good technical skills. More unorthadox then Donald for sure. Will be interesting to see how Pov adapts to this. I think Alex will win on workrate personally, which is what Ike did in a lot of ways. He didn't have great success initially, but he just kept throwing and throwing until eventually he landed significant punches. If Byrd still has a good amount of fight in him though this will be very interesting.

I find that i go through stages on this site, where I use different forums heaps and then not much at all for a while. A bit over the lounge for the time being, but I am sure it will change in a couple of weeks.

[Marcus]

The lounge is fun but a complete waste of time, most people just post mindless shit and dribble. Im trying not to go in there at all, just so i can keep up to my work a bit easier.
Plus i just like the aussie forum the most, know all the reg s and its a good fun forum.

Yeah mate Aus forum is the best IMO, its like the perfect mix between the lounge and the general. Would be awesome though if we had a few more posters and were allowed to discuss international boxing and non boxing related issues more freely. I can see why they don't let us, but it would make this particular forum better for us.

I've often made posts saying what I think about Wladimir, but to generalise a bit without getting to much into WHY i think these things, he is being overrated. He's formidable but frankly one dimensional, people used to say that of Lewis after Steward got his hands on him but is/has none of the following good head movement, the ability to fight inside (Lewis was a good defensive infighter, also ahd nice right uppercut), he's also mentally weaker than Lewis (for various reasons, past habits of turning away from punches, taking several rounds to open up this is diminishing as his confidence grows, but look at how long it's taken).

He moves well and has good speed for a big man, has good power and does what he does with his left and right well (mainly jabbing, straight right, even the left hook is dissapearing). Brock showed he's not impregnable however, he's simply appears that way due to extraordinarily mediocre competition. I'm sure that if Povetkin keeps a tight defence, moves and throws good combinations he'll trouble Wladimir (who never has been nor ever will be comfortable under pressure, some people just flinch or become flustered when someone throws a punch at them, Wlad is just that sort of person, it's his character/nature, with people like that you need combinations, they'll avoid the first shot, but the third shot tends to get through). However Povetkin won't beat Wladimir as he is, he needs improvement, better defence and a little more speed power, with that i'll give him every chance to beat Wladimir.

I'm sure that if Povetkin keeps a tight defence, moves and throws good combinations he'll trouble Wladimir (who never has been nor ever will be comfortable under pressure, some people just flinch or become flustered when someone throws a punch at them, Wlad is just that sort of person, it's his character/nature, with people like that you need combinations, they'll avoid the first shot, but the third shot tends to get through). However Povetkin won't beat Wladimir as he is, he needs improvement, better defence and a little more speed power, with that i'll give him every chance to beat Wladimir.
Wlad is certainly one dimensional, but its a very good one dimension that will be hard to beat. This will certainly be an interesting fight when it does eventuate. I will be watching this weekends match up closely, and will give some further analysis after seeing how he does against Byrd. Byrd, regardless of age is still world class (for the current division) and will be a great measuring stick.

[Dekkers]

Yeah mate Aus forum is the best IMO, its like the perfect mix between the lounge and the general. Would be awesome though if we had a few more posters and were allowed to discuss international boxing and non boxing related issues more freely. I can see why they don't let us, but it would make this particular forum better for us.

We can discuss international boxing, just bring it up as "will cotto vs Mosely be on foxtel?" :deal

[Kegsy]

Aussie boxing forum is the best no doubt there boys.

I don't know, Byrd's world class but right at this moment for me guys like Byrd, Golota, Oquendo, Holyfield, Donald, Ruiz and Valuev are world class and pretty much on the same level despite different styles/problems when facing them.

Agree completely, this is what I was trying to say. That he is world class for the current division, although historically he would not have been. The Donald win was a decent one for Povetkin, as he is not a great fighter but still a good one, under rated by most.

how do you think a Byrd vs Brock fight would go (provided they both win the preliminary bouts)? its a tough one

Tough one to call. I honestly don't know at this point, because I haven't seen Byrd in action recently. I will get back to you after this weekends fight. Probably Brock at the moment, although he would need to keep his work rate up, which he sometimes doesn't do.

:good

the thing i still dont get about this tournament thingy the ibf has come up with is that if Brock or Byrd win then they face Wlad. Both have had the living shit beaten out them by Dr Steelhammer and i think a rematch would yield similar results. It seems a bit of a joke that there is a 50% chance Wlad will face a guy who he has already thumped (twice in the case of Byrd i believe). I would hate to see the Boxing Banker eat another on of Wlad's big shots :|

[Dekkers]

I wish Brock dedicated himself fulltime to boxing, he has more potential, could be up their with Chagaev and Wlad if he gets it together.

[Dr Gonzo]

you and me both :patsch, he has natural talent but doesnt use it to his full potential

i think if he improved his conditioning and worked a little on his speed he would be a bit threat in the division. As far as ring smarts go the guy is right up there - he fought very cleverly against Wlad in the early rounds and worked magic to come off the canvas and beat McCline.

[Dr Gonzo]

Look at how they brought along Kelly Pavlik as well.

Same will be done to Victor Ortiz on Cotto undercard.
Great match making by Top Rank, putting him in with former champ Carlos Maussa.
If he wins that well he will face WBO Champ Ricardo Torres early next year.:deal

Juan Manuel Lopez has been brought along quite well too. Watch him to step it up next year, as well as Chavez Jnr.

[Robot16]

I quite like Povetkin, I don't really recall him looping his hooks that much, but then it's been a while since I last looked at one of his fights. Povetkin is good combination puncher with fast hands, and solid (not great power), technically he's quite well rounded, defence could use a little fine tuning, but he moves well, keeps good balance, can fight inside or out, and has a big kit of punches.

He has a lot of tools, the only area he's really lacking in are the physical ones, he needs to build up some strength (preferrably fast twitch muscle type, build up his speed and power at the same time), he's hired a strength coach as of late so we'll see if any extra mass he's put on has slowed him down. If he manages to build up a little more speed and power, as well as shore up his defence a bit more, he could easily rule the current division.

Personally I think Byrd is just about done, he's been slowing down more and more with each fight, he's looked thicker late into his career but it hasn't really translated into a better punch. Now he's comming off a long layoff and is up against an active hungry fighter, sometimes guys look good comming off layoffs, but with a fighter like Byrd whos' speed and reflexes play a big part of his game, I can't see any positives comming from this layoff. I'll go out on a limb and pick Povetkin by stoppage when I put up my tips, it'll be a decent scrap, but I think Povetin will get on top of him as the fight goes on and break him down late, Byrd will get in some decent shots but it'll be one sided on the whole. At this stage I think Byrd is a step up from Donald in name only... a fight with Brock will be much more interesting/difficult.

Yeah i have been very impressed with Povetkin too.
I see him gewttingpast Byrd, but i cannot pick him to beat wlad.

We can discuss international boxing, just bring it up as "will cotto vs Mosely be on foxtel?" :deal

haha,
Yeah a year ago or even after the judah fight, if i was Cotto's manager i would never have put hm in there with Sugar.
But after watching alot more Cotto fights, i feel this is a good time to fight Shane. Although i still feel shane can win and has a great chance, also was the favourite imo. I am picking cotto to win.
But it really is a pick em fight.

I know after the fight everyone is gonna be saying Sugar is old, cotto has no chin, i predicted this and that lol.

But i am really looking forward to this fight. Pavlik Vs Taylor and this have been the ones i have wanted to see.

[Robot16]

thanks mate :good, yeah i have been trying to avoid the lounge and spend a bit more time posting about boxing - after all thats why we are all here!

i see all you guys are picking Povetkin. What is it, do you think, he has after only 13 fights to warrant your vote? Or is it that you think Byrd is done? Not judging anyone, after all Povetkin would be firm favourite, just want some opinions on the fight :)

personally, i think Povetkin is a good all around fighter with an excellent amateur career. But i feel he hasn't been tested. I personally think Byrd's defence will frustrate Povetkin and cause him to try and brawl; and perhaps Byrd can simply outbox him like he did against Tua

[Marcus]

Im sucked in by the hype, but i saw a pic of him today with some chicks, and he looks like a little pussy!!! no muscle and soft and shit, so i hope like fuck he can box well.

[Dr Gonzo]

:yep the guy looks soft - which might be ok if he was big but he isnt

and Byrd struggles against bigger guys like Wlad seems to do well against smaller guys like Tua and even Holyfield to some extent

[Marcus]

well at least i didnt have a avatar bet with you!!!!

[maco_187]

the only reason i picked povetkin is not for the hype but the fact the fight is in germany, where over there the judges can play big tricks on fighters by giving out huge rorts, plus the crowd will not make a sound when bird lands a punch but if povetkin does theyll roar and stuff even when he misses, its a big factor i feel....

[nrgetic]

Willful thinking has me backing Kessler all the way.

Calzaghe vs

Lacy - Lacy had no plan other than the KO, no jab, no counterpunch and came straight onto Calzaghe's punches. Kessler has a top rated jab that will keep Calzaghe honst, Kessler moves well and can counterpunch

Manfredo - what a non event, bullshit stoppage. Manfredo put up no fight so I can't rate Calzaghe on this performance but if he throws wide wild punches as he did in this fight Kessler will KO him

Bika - tougher fight than was anticipated by all. Kessler has spared Bika and Bika apparently was not in his league

Veit - similar style to Kessler but Veit has no chin which Kessler has a good chin. Veit does not punch with any power compared to Kessler.

I think people are looking at history but failing to see why Calzaghe won and comparing his performance to the strengths of Kessler relative to the opponents that Calzaghe beat. Calzaghe may well win if he proves too fast and quick for Kessler but Kessler is the real favourite for this fight

Cameron - Stoppage

I wish some of you would understand that Friday has never ... In 200 amateur bouts and 20 something pro fights .. with the likes of Lyachovich , Ibragimov, Povetkin ,Whittaker , Guinn.. plus 1000's of sparring rounds with Tyson , Lewis, Lyachovich , Samuel Peter, Chagaev, both Klitschkos, NEVER.. been on the floor from a punch , not an 8 count.. Not a standing 8 count or a slip..

In the Ibragimov fight in Atlanta 2 years ago Friday actually dropped the current WBO champ twice before clashing heads and having the referee call a halt to the fight because of a nasty cut..

In 2003 he dropped Mike Tyson in a heated sparring session to the extent of the sparring being called a halt to..

In 2004 he put Ruslin Chagaev on the deck and almost through the ropes in Tocco's gym whilst training for a Naba bout..( i was there for that session and Ruslin was completely out of it with his eyes rolling..

A stoppage would be very rare....

A first in fact.. If shane gets a stoppage i would respect that..

Just thought i'd mention that smal fact..

God bless...:good

Good post, and the exact reason why I highly doubt a stoppage victory also for Cameron. I think Camerons power is over rated anyway, and against the world class guys will become much less of a factor.

didnt get in early enough for cameron!

[Robot16]

Eddie Chambers wins by split decision, i watched a little bit of it and from what i saw and heard from the announcers Chambers should have got a ud.
scores were :
115-113 chambers
115-113 Brock
115-113 Chambers

[maco_187]

fuckn very disappointed in brock that is disgusting from a guy that could be so much better....

[Kegsy]

I had Chambers winning the fight by a close UD, from the footage i saw.

Both would be destroyed by Povetkin.
Povetkin by Stoppage against Chambers early next year.:deal

[Thirdgeary]

Were you watching that crappy ******* stream too Kegsy? Between the buffering it looked like Chambers won comfortably from my end too.:deal

Joe Calzaghe won by UD.
Robert Guerrero by 1st Round KO as well.

[Thirdgeary]

Very entertaining fight.
Kessler really needs to be set to throw his punches properley and Joe capitalised on that flaw nicely.
Big respect to both guys.

[Kegsy]

Last result is in

Sometimes I look at your picks and try to figure out if you are deliberately trying to lose... hahahah. Its all good mate. Now that EelsRule is gone the forum needs a new shit kicker.

[Kegsy]

After seeing Marcus's tips i thought i better put mine in.:D
Mosley to win by stoppage hey Marcus. That means Cotto will only be the 2nd guy he has stopped since like 2001.

Im putting massive faith Billy Dib to KO Mtagwa.
Mtagwa leaves himself very open at times & i feel if Billy watches Mtagwa's power early, he can make Mtagwa look very slow & stop him late if he is prepared to throw a few more big ones late on.

Please dont compare me to eelsrule mate :-(

yeah i dont know most of the fighters, so i just guess, i like to go for the underdog, which isnt a good idea for tipping i guess.

hahaha sorry mate. Comparing you to Eels was a low blow. Must be from seeing that damn head below the belt line so much hey mate?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: funny man

Yeah sometimes i struggle to get my point across, face to face i find it a lot eaiser to just tell someone to fuckoff :yep , plus you know how to fire me up, i must be easy to read when im posting angry.

hey mate, im reading everyone saw you, but only one met you, i think you scared some off with your crazy ass fight stories.

Man, calzag can really fight, he has a near perfect jab, but he is cheaky dropping his hands. He has a good chin, i love to see him beat Hopkins, but maybe it would be a boring fight, dont know, both Kessler and Calzag are great fighters!!

Id like to see Kessler confirm a fight with Mundine, oh no he lost the belt, thats right, so i guess Mundine will claim to be a three time champ when he gets the full belt :lol: :lol:

I don't think people were scared of my fighting ability. To be honest, thats the reason i win heaps of fights, because I probably don't look very intimidating. I would say that people were probably just self concious because I am so damn good looking hahaha. Seriously though, I was with about 5-6 mates which may have put people off.

The only thing history about De La Hoya is his career in the ring as a top tier fighter.

Please explain why cotto(if he beats Mosley) would want to fight a bloke Mosley has twice beat when there is the winner of Hatton vs Mayweather to fight??

Dont say because De La Hoya is still a major drawcard because thats a pure cop out..

Mike tyson's still a major drawcard..

Mosley vs Cotto is such an interesting fight - damned if I know who wins so I can't claim any insight after the fight my my tip in this competition plays out
