leemond2008 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I see Tony Thompson has called for all performance enhancing drugs to be made legal because that would then make it the individuals choice. what a **** retard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Prizefighter tomorrow as well, Heavyweights the last few heavyweight Prizefighters have been shit (as has the division) but with the new KO bonus it mite make it worth watching, I'll just be flicking between that and the Price fight anyway. The last prizefighter was cracking for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Just watched Lamont Peterson's return against Kendall Holt. Peterson clearly ring rusty for the first 3 round but then started to look sharp with nice inside fighting and accurate power punching. Holt is basically a corpse nowadays and really can't take the punch that well, hence Peterson, a relatively light puncher, was able to clear him out of there inside 8. Prizefighter tonight then, well it really shows how far Sky sports have fallen, they clearly have a lack of promoters on the pay roll and are now struggling to get any sort of compelling action. Prizefighter for me isn't that interesting and really the time slot should be given over to 'proper' boxing. I see Fraudley is involved so hopefully he gets knocked out. Thompson - Price will be interesting and I'm tipping Price to struggle in that one if he can't get a very early stoppage, Thompson is no mug, a good boxer who fights out of a southpaw stance so it's a question of how much Thompson has left after his beating at the hands of Wladimir last year. Is he going to turn up for a pay check or is he motivated to stop a prospect in his tracks. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have some questions por favor... What time is the Harrison "fight"? What time/channel is Thompson - Price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Harrison could be anytime, and dont forget it could be 3 fights (doubtful) Price I am guessing will be about 9/9:30 on boxnation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Yeah the time of the Price fight depends on the undercard, I'd of guessed around 10 but who knows, I'll be streaming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 well it isn't looking promising, apparently Thompson has weighed in at a career high. Is he just seeing this as one last pay day, or is he just under estimating Price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 AS painful as the sound of the final bell has been, boxer Michael Katsidis is fully aware he has dodged a dementia-tipped bullet. Katsidis is a dynamo in the ring and until last week was desperate to resurrect a once glittering career that saw him grace some of boxing's biggest stages. He dropped legendary Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, only to lose by TKO in the ninth round. It was a month after his younger brother, Stathi, a champion Queensland-based jockey, died from a lethal cocktail of drugs and alcohol. Katsidis dedicated the rest of his career to honouring Stathi's memory and was to begin the path back tonight at the Melbourne Pavilion in Flemington. Then came the news that a medical had declared him unfit to take on Filipino Weng Haya. Katsidis, 32, was shocked, his world shattered. He felt and looked well and insiders said he had been training brilliantly at Johnny Lewis's gym in Sydney. Yesterday, Katsidis admitted being confused after a CAT scan showed some scarring on his brain, insufficient to ruin his long-term health but a very clear warning that further punishment could be dire. After all, two of the all-time greatest, Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson, were left as shells after too many fights. Katsidis, whose entertaining style was "take a punch to land a punch", knew he risked a similar fate. But it doesn't make retirement any easier and there are countries that would still allow him to fight. "Boxing is my life, it's everything to me," he said. . "It's just a very emotional time, but I love my family (wife Kumi and daughter Kalia Rose, 3) so I will pursue a media career to still be involved in boxing. "Being man enough to withdraw from this fight was the bigger thing to do. "I took on the world's best and entertained. I wanted to be the Aussie who got out there. Boxing is one man's will against another man's will, and we fight because we have something to prove. "I wanted to prove an Australian's will can be the best and I'm very proud I proved that." Michael "The Great" Katsidis now wants to give something back and advise fighters not to be afraid to lose, because as long as you lose in an entertaining fashion you will still feature on the big cards. Tonight's card that was to feature Katsidis will go ahead with Fred Tukes and Samuel Colomban contesting the vacant Australian welterweight title and unbeaten prospect Michael Zerafa tackling Adrian Campbell for the WBA Asia Continental light middleweight title. Light heavyweight Jake Carr, son of former Commonwealth champion Rodd Carr, is also fighting. A great fighter, always entertained and I always made a point of watching him. Good time for him to go though, I think you could see in the Burns fight that he wasn't up to his old standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thompson looks in bad shape, he's like 20lbs heavier than in the Klitschko fight last year. So, looks like he's here for a pay cheque... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
