You like them, don't you?

Good one Bobby.
That Butterbean would have made a great fight for Mike Tyson in his early lethal years before Don King drugged him out to ruin.

4 Rounders are just as hard as 12 round fights because they tend to be more intense. Ali & Sugar Leonard would have been floored by Butterbean in a 4 rounder because they wouldn't be cheered for dancing around dodging a fight to drag it out to 12 rounds to tire Butterbean out.

Greggy doesn't like Butterbean. Fat nazi skin-head white supremacist belting up enslaved black men. 

Greggy watches Gay men jelly wrestle at his local Blue Oyster Tavern.

I watched a Spike Cheney undercard of an Aussie Boxer v a Russian. After a few rounds, the Aussie got off his stool and fell to the floor - blood clot in the head. The Russian gave up boxing after that. It was live on pay-for-view tv.
Just like Adamek was 'conditioned' to take heavy hits from Briggs - some boxers do not live a healthy lifestyle, are not 'conditioned' and thus 'suffer' detrimental effects. Look at what happened when Fenech got Shannon Taylor on the coke. He was lucky Mosely didn't put him in hospital, whereas before he got involved with Fenech, he was better conditioned to take the hits.

This is one of the best recent fights.
Conlon v Woods.
Sadly this is the only full-fight clip available (ads at start).
But its a fight between English Woods and Irish Conlon - that you have to watch from the start because of how it turns out.
Australia's Skye Nicholson was there and was blown away as was the boxing world.
Must watch full fight.

Regardless of our difference in numbers, it would appear that you're perfectly
happy that "only" 33 boxers have been killed in the ring?  Can I ask you what
you consider an acceptable number of boxing deaths—three, 13, 33, 73?  More?
Less?

(My figure of 112 includes deaths of amateur boxers, and is drawn from
Death Under the Spotlight:  The Manuel Velazquez Collection, complied
by Joseph R. Svinth.)

Any death in the ring—in my opinion—is an unwarranted, indefensible act
perpetrated for the mindless enjoyment of an uncouth audience of slobbering
gamblers.  Who ultimately don't give a bleedin' bugger if a boxer is killed.  It's
all about the money, and the little value the so-called "sport" places on another
human being's life.

Money?   During the 1990s, boxing cards brought an extra US$15 million a week
in business into Donald Trump’s casinos, and almost US$2 million a week in profits.

It's a ridiculous "sport".

It's one of the things that makes me shake my head in disbelief at the human race.

Then admit to the original 'source' - John Smith and Peccary.
Looks more like you're just another fly to the turd talk.

Boxing is dangerous.
What about motorsport -
should that be banned too?

https://topgear-autoguide.com/category/formula-1/fia-accident-research-100-death...


you can see how many people die in motorsport every year ? There are significantly more than many imagine. But most deaths happen at club level, as safety expert Andy Mellor explains: 'Worldwide, 100 people die in motorsport every year, 50 percent each on two and four wheels. Of these 50 deaths, half are vehicle occupants and the other half are marshals or spectators. The majority of these accidents happen on a national level. We are trying to identify patterns here to bring these numbers down. '

Safety has been drastically improved in cars and tracks over time,
but danger still lurks at every event.




Through the years, this track has taken the lives of 239 motorcycle riders caused by hitting light poles, walls, and fences or flying off jagged cliffs and even crushing many spectators, giving this event the title of the most deadly race in the world.

It's entirely valid that people here express their dislike of boxing.
I see your point of view and there is no way I would step into a ring or knowingly get into a fight.
Just not 'my thing.'
Boxing is not a 'Sport of Kings' or the 'Beautiful game.'
It's a sport, not a game.

Those that do it often have no other opportunity to succeed in life. It is their skill set. They are not rocket scientists.
In the ring is where they shine, it is their time of fame.

I did some sparring when training in karate decades ago. It took my over 1 year to be able to throw a good jab off either hand. That is without anyone throwing a jab back to a me !!!!!!!
We were training 4 nights a week.
My coordination is not the best but boxing is a finely tuned whole body action.
A good jab starts for your rear foot.

Bobby. wrote on Jun 10^th, 2022 at 6:17pm:


Of course not.

But a major difference in the fatality rates of various sports participants
is that professional boxing is the only "sport" where the entire focus of
winning a bout is defeating and disabling one's opponent with repeated
concussions, often to the point of unconsciousness—and possible death.

Motorsport drivers have no intention of injuring and/or killing other drivers
(well, they shouldn't LOL).  Nor do jockeys, golfers, cricketers, cyclists,
rowers, gymnasts etc have injuring their opponents as a driver of their
own performance.  Boxing is an anachronism that belongs in Roman times
when people watched Christians being torn to death by lions.

Today boxing is driven by bloodthirsty punters, big dollar investments, and
the poor intellectual capacities of its participants.

—The US Army measured draft dodger Cassius Clay's IQ at 78 in 1967. In
   his autobiography he said, “I only said I was the greatest, not the smartest.”

BRUTAL One Punch KNOCKOUTS
2,357 views  Apr 10, 2022

I dunno. As an over 50, I had to knock a bigger 20'something around a bit because he thought he was as smart as a computer and needed the information punched into him.

Two very good clips with a great commentary dissection of the fight. Who said Boxers who are copping knocks to their heads can't think on their feet?

AusGeoff wrote on Jun 14^th, 2022 at 9:37pm:



One of my brothers used to do kickboxing.
I would have far preferred he had not done that.
He also runs, which I far prefer.

You have a very valid point and I will not belittle you for it at all.

The sad thing about Ali was that he had to play the unpredictable fool to get ahead of his opponents.
We know this from his fight with Shavers where he just danced around, show-boated and dragged the fight out for the whole 15 rounds to tire Shavers out - because he knew Shavers had hardly ever had to go beyond Round 8 in his career.

What ensured is a fight that showed Ali what he really was - a Conman. The crowd booed Ali (who reacted) who tried to con the crowd that he wasn't hurt by the punches and the fact that Shavers didn't rush in to chase Ali around like most, but offered Ali to show his wares and come in - which usually ended with Ali nearly getting knocked out often.

To me Ali is not the 'Greatest', never was. He was just good at appearing the Greatest. When it comes down to it. He relied on intimidation, mockery, running away more than taking the fight. I kid you not. In a 4 rounder, even Butterbean could beat Ali.

Ali was just the greatest Show Boater, not the Greatest Boxer.
Here's some highlights. But its worth watching the whole fight to see how the 'legend' of Ali is defeated more than Ali winning the match.

That fight is here:


Ali won 9 round to 6.
That's a clear win.
That fight was:
29th September 1977, “The Greatest of All Time” Muhammad Ali fights “The Black Destroyer” Earnie Shavers who is arguably the hardest punching heavyweight in history.

Ali was not at his best then -
he was suffering from the onset of "dementia pugilistica"
which some doctors thought was Parkinson's disease.

Ali should have stopped boxing after the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974 but
his ego and expensive lifestyle had to be paid for.

Ribalta was exceptional.
Sadly, Bonecrusher Smith was one of Don King's stooges and the loss to him was an obvious 'Paid Judges' situation. Even Witherspoon later came to his senses about King.
So in essence Ribalta did win that fight. He had the quality to beat the likes of all those that beat Tyson later when Tyson was corrupted by King and Associates into a drugged out loser.
Only Don King truly defeated Mike Tyson. The Boxers that capitalised on that aspect would not have beaten the un-broken Tyson.
Ribalta really had a jaw of titanium and was mentally so focused, he didn't even consider going unconscious for a knockout.
Ribalta would beat Tyson easy today in a rematch.
Tyson, despite having a good show against Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition - is still the broken Tyson that Don King created.

Thanks JaSin,

Then Evander Holyfield beats Buster Douglas:

John Smith wrote on Jun 20^th, 2022 at 10:25am:

You don't know anything about Boxing. Fly away butterfly.

Yeah - like I said. Don King beat Tyson long before any of 'Kings' boxers did. Like the commentary says "Tyson was not his usual dynamic self... Tyson wasn't moving like he usually did, etc"
Tyson was so drug-f*ucked on that night and King let Buster D know it. It was a major financial win for King who sabotaged Tyson ages before this fight. It made Moseley's demolition of coke'd up Shannon Taylor (Aust) look easy (Taylor joined Team Fenech and ended up a drugged out loser).

So you could say Tyson's loss was your typical Don King arrangement. As you can tell with Don King's input, wins & losses with boxers are very erratic. Tim Witherspoon was the first to get some balls and tell all against King - but it also meant the end of his boxing future.

If Tyson was not affected by King's influence, I'm sure Buster D wouldn't have come out knowing he was going to win - not by himself, but thanks to others.

Holyfield v Tyson would have also been different.
But as Tyson entered Boxing to get away from a world of crime, it was the Crime withing boxing that got him in the end. Sad story really.

Mike Tyson vs Feminist Australian Journalist

2,391,373 views  Nov 29, 2020

Iron Mike Tyson gets interviewed by feminist journalist Natalie Barr on Australian Morning TV show Sunrise. Watch Mike's reaction as she continually brings up her feminist agenda.. She then brings up the MeToo Movement and asks if his daughter is aware of Oprah Winfrey's Speech on it. Mike is perplexed by this interview and you see at one point he shales his head in disbelief. The scorecard shows Mike Tyson winning every round by either knock out or by fancy footwork and mental agility.

Hell no!
It's a good match. But there is only a few factors at play.

Hell no. It's just biasly popular with Americans.
Even this fight has more than what Ali & Foreman put on.
