lol i agree here. these days I can somewhat appreciate the technique in boxing to win the match though, cause we have MMA for that.... but yea the money is crazy. I thought paquiao was gonna retire on this one.

those douche's wouldn't last 2 seconds in the cage with a real fighter.
I lost all respect for the sport when Lennox Lewis was heavyweight champ. Sitting through the entire match of Lewis vs Tua was more boring than watching grass grow and the price of the fight was huge, well, in the day, whutever...

Lewis had fights that were all like a big kid using one hand to hold back his opponent by extending his reach to their forehead and taking jabs with the other. That is technique, but in my opinion, doesn't make anybody a champ or this even a sport.

Tyson. Now there was a guy who could fight. And it was interesting to watch because it was action packed and fast. (well, pre-prison anyways). After his release from the judicial system and welcome back into the world of pro-boxing, it seemed that 100% muscle backed by 150% rage was not the best of companions.

Meh...

When it comes down to it, I gotta tuff time getting involved in sports, but I used to enjoy a good throw down when one was offered up.

Yea Magix I think you hit the nail right on the head here.

I loved watching Tyson fights but who didn't. At the same time, I think he fought a bunch of chumps, and even in his prime he was ducking worthy adversaries. He was a monster, but i think he would have got his head ripped off by Ernie Shavers though, that's why he ducked him.

I think he lost it even before he went to prison.

True enough.

But I ain't gunna fault a fella for picking his battles anymore than I would fault anybody for finding their own direction in life. There is a place for us all and sometimes it is them baby steps that make us who we are in end.

Thing is, when Tyson did take a fight, he TOOK the fucking Fight!!!

Anybody stupid enough to step foot into the ring with him, hadda fucking know that their next job would be licking stamps at the nearest postal outlet. That's part of the sport.

Very true... he still had a chance though, Tyson not only can give a punch, he could take one too, and his speed as a heavyweight was almost unmatched.

I've seen one of his more recent fights on youtube and it was one of the saddest things I ever saw, he got his ass kicked by an overseas chump and gave up.

Is true, when Mike lost his shit, he did eventually and literally, lose his Shit.

I do find it tough looking for a little sympathy for them. They can take an hour out of their lives and make more then most of the working class will in years...even at the end of a humiliating defeat in the ring, it isn't quite as bad as taking it in the ass by the bankers and government like the rest of us do.

was working with the weekly close in mind. all below 2624 is bearish until broken.. but below the week close is better for s tech wise
Quoting sisse
I only have 1.249x for the roll. Hold below to leave shorts open otherwise close all as is a[Highlight]very risky weekend with runaway "gap" in play [/highlight] (this bases in nothing Technical...just my experience...).
Gator. Runaway gap as expected and posted on Friday after weekly roll failed to break 1.249x. 1.266x (1.263x obviously too) tested with air overnight. Depending on the reaction across the board tomorrow in Europe and the US on the Spanish bailout (also as expected and as we mentioned last week) we can see 1.262x holding the Quarterly roll and avoiding a clean swept for the summer.... We'll see ...

GL this week.
