Even at 35 this man is insane.

Hopefully him and Lomachenko got together before he gets too old.

One of the best fighters I ever seen in my life.

Won his fight pretty handily but it was boring, I wanted to see more but he did just pick up the fight a week ago I believe.

This Miura-Vargas fight is good so far. Miura was on the ropes in the 1st round but came back and just landed a 1-2 knock down that split Vargas cheek open.

edit Vargas recovered an won, his eye is all sorts of messed up. Gotta give Miura credit he was getting destroyed but wouldn't go down, ref had to stop the fight. Great fight and comeback.

Yeah I cant claim Rigo is great to watch or in great fights. But he needs better opponants. His fight with Donaire was great to watch for example.

I would like to offer another thing on Rigo however. People like Harold Lettederman piss me off, I have never liked him and never understood his opinions. He judges fights like a casual fan who watches 2 fights a year.

He says Rigo has to be entertaining to be a top 10 fighter...ridiculous by any criteria.

And he says guys like Zamora would wipe the floor with him...equally ridiculous.

Nobody would suggest Rigo is an entertainer, just like Floyd, Hopkins and many other greats, its not his style, but he most certainly is one of the best in the world right now.

Fury n Klitschko on

by El Gunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:58 pm

Easy win for Klitsch

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 9:59 pm

fury KO IMO

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:45 pm

Hmm Fury can actually win this

by El Gunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:46 pm

Not watching. Round? Your scorecard?

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:49 pm

4-3 to fury so far IMO but it's impossible to judge. It's as close as it can get. Judges will show some sort of bias in the end to award either a win.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:50 pm

Think there might be a KO late on. Klitschko needs it. Fury is getting more and more confident. Klitschko looks like he is planning retirement

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:50 pm

Didn't think Klitschko would bottle this, Fury slightly leading.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:55 pm

Bit of a shit fight tbh. Klitschko is underperforming rather than Fury being great.

by Firenze Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:55 pm

haven't kept up with boxing in years, last fight I watched was Wlad vs Hayes

thought Wlad might have issues since he can't rely on his height + reach advantage against Fury (who I've never seen fight outside of the gif of him punching himself in the face accidentally in a fight Laughing

)

by El Gunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:55 pm

Also watching now. Lol Klitsch reeling

by Firenze Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:55 pm

HW boxing been crap for years tbh, nobody even talks about it nowadays.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:58 pm

Wait till main man Joshua starts fighting bigger people.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 10:59 pm

Swear there has been one punch thrown in like 5 rounds Laughing

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:00 pm

Hmm 6-4/7-3 to Fury I think

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:02 pm

Klitschko gaining some late points but will it be enough?

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:05 pm

Well it's in Germany so those points will be like doubled anyways.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:07 pm

RG lol, defending the british lad even when he's clearly a massive *bleep*. Molenation

by Firenze Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:07 pm

top lad fury

always believed he was destined for great things tbh

been a fan of his for years

champion shortly Molenation

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:07 pm

I don't like him at all. But Fury deserves to win this.

Odds were 5/1 for him to win :facepalm:

I made a bet on Nantes vs Bastia instead :facepalm:

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:08 pm

Intense last round.

*bleep*.

by RealGunner Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:08 pm

Wlad got that last round

by Firenze Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:09 pm

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 28, 2015 11:10 pm

Fury should win either way.

It will seriously suck if he doesn't. Klitschko disappointing.
