Creed Trailer >>>>>>> Southpaw Trailer

 

[Doc Samson]

Yeah and he's calling out GGG. If this guy had him seeing stars, GGG will have him see parallel universes. He maybe able to dodge him for a minute but no way will it get past 4 rounds.

He's just so....awkward. Even when he's not on dream street, he's off balance or just looking weird. I think that's why he's tough for some guys because he doesn't really have a set rhythm. That being said, I don't think he needs to be anywhere around Golovkin.

Creed trailer is up guy's.

That was actually pretty good. Wasn't really on my radar, although I did think Rocky Balboa was the best one since the original. Might have to check it out.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Yeah that Creed trailer looks better than Orthodox, err I mean Southpaw.

Anyone see Gabe Rosado and Tony Bellew? Lol. $5 says Rosado bleeds in real life by one of MBJ fake punches. But good for him that he found a gig. Lord knows needs something positive to come out of boxing.

And Tony Bellew doesn't need acting to act like an A-hole in this movie.

Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko set for October 24th in Dusseldorf, Germany.

 

[Assassin32]

R.I.P. Fury

 

[Docker2.0]

Not so sure. Wlad has been looking bad lately. Even though Fury is a big bum, I wouldn't be surprised if he miraculously pulled it out.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Bleh, I want to see Klitschko vs Wilder. Hopefully next year. (If Wlad wins)

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Fury is kind of built for Wlad, so if he has anything left, Wlad should crush him imo.

 

[Docker2.0]

Like I said, I'm not so sure. He likes to hold more than he does punch. Fury is goofy but he has length and may give Wlad problems should be try to hold.

Yes, but your predictions are usually pretty bad, so forgive me for not taking you all that seriously.

Fury fights in a straight line, which is great for Wlad. Allows him to jab at distance all he wants without having to hold all that much. So unless Wlad is done, done, he should win. If he is done, then he is done.

 

[BadrHari]

Very exciting rest of 2015 for boxing fans!

Wlad / Fury

Cotto / Canelo

Mayweather / ??

I didn't pick anyone. I said I wouldn't be shocked if Fury won. Wlad hasn't looked good in awhile. There's a reason he held of for dear life when he fought Povetkin(spelling).

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Wlad always holds like crazy. I agree he is starting to slow down quite a bit. But, Wlad always holds to minimize risk against people who are willing to move and get on the inside.

 

[Assassin32]

When Wlad fought Povetkin two years ago, I wouldn't say he was holding on "for dear life." If he had been, he wouldn't have been able to score four knockdowns. Povetkin is a talented boxer, and he managed to close distance in an intelligent and effective way. It made Wlad uncomfortable, so he wrapped him up to impose his will on the fight. Consider Wlad's more recent title defense, at the end of last year, against Kubrat Pulev. That challenger brought nothing tactical to the table--just grit and determination--and Wlad's hands sure were flying in that one. KO 5. Rest assured, Fury will not be trying to dig on the inside; it will not become a hug-fest. Wlad will (thankfully) expose him at last.

 

[Docker2.0]

We will see. Wlad should knock him out but again......all I'm saying is I wouldn't completely rule out Fury. He's a bum, we can all agree but it's just how Wlad looks.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Docker is basically Skip Bayless. Covering all bases in an attempt to not be wrong.

 

[Docker2.0]

I'm going to make this clear: Wlad is the favorite. I give him a 99% chance of winning. But I wouldn't completely rule out him losing because he hasn't fought anyone with Fury's size in awhile plus he hasn't exactly looked like Floyd in his last couple of fights.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

 

[Iceman]

Fury vs Klitschko official?! Should be interesting. Fury has the capability to knock anyone out but I don't think he'll get anywhere and hopefully gets knocked out himself.

 

[Assassin32]

I suspect it will look a bit like Wlad's two fights with Tony Thompson. I really don't think Wlad's boxing ability or physical conditioning has deteriorated significantly. The man leads a Spartan lifestyle. Sometimes he knocks guys out early, and sometimes he jabs, holds, pummels, and repeats. That was how he was fighting ten years ago, too.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Spartan lifestyle or not, time catches up to all. And sometimes when a guy is done, it really does come out of nowhere.

 

[Doc Samson]

Not only that, but it's not like the guy is invincible, most just can't get close enough to re-test that chin. All his losses came to relative nobodies who were able to do that, and while it was much earlier in his career when those things happened, I'd like to think Fury is a little better than those guys. That being said, he definitely shouldn't be a favorite to win by any stretch...

 

[Docker2.0]

I forgot that his chin was questioned earlier in his career. I mean Corrie Sanders and Ross Purity floored him out of the blue. And rewatching the Povetkin fight, Wlad held 95% of the fight. I mean, he literally threw one punch and held like clockwork every single time. He is not invincible and I'm not Fury fan but I'm not going to completely rule him out. I think anyone with any kind of size will give him problems. The thing that saves him a lot is the fact that he is so much bigger than his opponents.
