Boxing schedule for the month of October
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Just answer two questions. One is Paulie a proven world class fighter that has won multiple belts in two different weight classes? Paulie fought real world class fighters like Cotto, Juan Diaz, Khan, and next Judah. Paulie has no punching power but he is a seasoned crafty vet. And Broner is 23.
Who in the hell has GGG KO'ed or even beat that is better then Paulie?? Knocking out espn level bums now make you an elite fighter nowadays. Dude is 31 years old with 28 fights and is still fighting espn level bums and the people is eating this shit up.

You have to admit that Stevens has huge power. For GGG to ignore that and trade blow for blow would have been foolish, so i don't see the problem of GGG being a little patient and cautious against a big puncher. Plus that only lasted a couple rounds. Once Stevens was hurt he went into survival mode and just covered up, throwing a desperation punch here and there. GGG was methodical in the ring, took his time and broke him down. Not sure what elsehe ccould do.
Macklin, Proksa, and Stevens were top ten guys. The other 7 aren't giving GGG the time of day.

Broner is overrated at this point in his career. You're stupid. Who has Broner fought? Ponce De Leon (questionably won). Demarco (decent win at best but not as good as Macklin), Malignaggi. That's it. Cano beat Paulie but he got a gift decision. He shouldn't even have had that fight.

Whats funny is he mentions Stevens being 5'7 but left out the guy was fighting at 175 and 168 his entire career and in the amateurs. He's short but physically built like a tank.
I don't see what broner has to do with GGG. Golovkin is not ranked in the top ten yet by anyone, but Broner suddenly was ranked P4P #5 by The Ring for beating...paulie, who got a gift in his previous fight against Cano. That is why people say Broner is overrated.
GGG has hype right now but what's wrong with that? He's exciting, very skilled and his amateur career was phenomenal. He had problems getting big fights for a while because he was dicked around by his ex promoters, the same people who promote Felix Sturm and they obviously wanted to keep the two apart. Once GGG signed with K2 you can see the fights falling in place, he's in HBO and quickly became a rising star all within one year. Boxing is about being with the right people to get good exposure, GGG finally has that now.
Also bringing up the fact GGG is 31. So what? Peter Quillin is 30 and still fighting on undercards. Kovalev, who's becoming a big name is 32 and Stevenson has become a huge star in Canada is 36.Sergio Martinez didn't become a big name until he was 34/35. Bernard Hopkins didn't become a bigname uuntil 36.

All that talking no one still can't answer the question of name one guy that GGG beat that is better then Paulie? Broner clearly won the fight against Paulie and I think he learnt a lesson from the fight. Broner will be fighting Maidana December 14th. You know the same Maidana that most fans said he would duck, until the fight was made Lol. I will say that Broner will be fighting his 2nd Top 10 147lber in his 2nd 147lb fight. I will say that I think Broner will KO Maidana too.
If Broner KO'es Maidana will he still be overrated? And once again name the fighter that GGG beat that is on Paulie's level??

Paulie is a faded fighter, well past his prime and was a paper champion. Yeah he fought good guys but he lost to all of them, even the guy you always love to talk down on Amir Khan (well we all make fun of Khan). And those fights were years ago. So I'd say Macklin is a better win than Paulie since Macklin is a proven guy in his prime who should have been champ but got robbed in Germany against Sturm.
Maidana would be a solid win since he's coming off a tough win. Personally, I don't see much in him other than being a tough guy. I said awhile ago Maidana will be easy work for broner. I don't think that would be enough for top ten and I don't have GGG in my top ten. To be top ten you gotta beat an elite fighter and neither have so far. But still I don't see how this became GGG vs Broner.
As of now I think GGG and Broner are somewhere around 11-15 or so, both just need one big win to crack the top 10. GGG could get that against Murray, Broner, I think after he beats Maidana, someone like Matthysse (who imo is much better than Maidana even if Garcia proved he's one dimensional) and he deserves top ten fasho.

You said Macklin is better then Paulie nothing more needs to be said. Enjoy the GGG hype until he fights a good fighter and get exposed and beat up. So Broner has to beat Maidana and Lucas to get in the Top 10 P4P list, but the new hyped HBO white hope GGG only has to beat another Euro bum and his on the list?? Lol.. You are the same guy crying about Berto fighting on HBO against bums, but you are cool with the great white hype fighting 4 bums a year's on HBO. Berto was KO'ing bums too. Double standards right and we both know the reason. You call yourself a boxing fan really??
And there it is, the truth comes out. It's about race (surprise surprise ).
I don't know why I have to point out the obvious but I'll do it anyway;
White hope? Euro bum? Golovkin is from Kazakhstan. Is that Europe? His mother is Korean. Is that white?
How is Murray a Euro bum when many, if not most, thought he beat Sergio Martinez?
I didn't say Broner has to beat Maidana and Matthysse, I said, imo, he needs to beat someone like Matthysse (an upper tier kind of guy).
Berto was getting paid million dollar paydays to fight guys not ranked on undercards. GGG is only making $350,000-$400,000 per fight. Stevens was ranked top ten, Macklin was top ten. The one guy he fought who wasn't ranked, a stay busy fight against Ishida was overseas and not aired on HBO. FAIL.

Damn this is so sad
Magomed Abdusalamov Suffered Stroke, on Life Support

By Mike Coppinger
Magomed Abdusalamov (18-1, 18KOs)*suffered a stroke while in the hospital, Sampson Boxing vice president Nathan Lewkowicz told BoxingScene.com via text message on Tuesday.
"We didn't want to say anything," Lewkowicz said, "but someone spoke to (New York Post writer) George Willis, so I might as well confirm it."
Lewkowicz also told BoxingScene.com that a machine is keeping the fighter alive.
Abdusalamov has been stable in the intensive care unit of Roosevelt Hospital in New York since Sunday after suffering a small blood clot on his brain in an HBO-televised bout with Mike Perez. Abdusalamov was placed in a medically induced coma following the brutal slugfest, which he lost via unanimous decision. Abdusalamov also suffered a broken nose and a broken hand in the heavyweight fight.
The doctors want to keep the boxer in the medically induced coma for the next couple of days to improve his condition, but it appears Magomed has a long road ahead in terms of recovery.
A trust has been established to help the boxer and his family with the mounting medical bills.
"We are going to do what we need to do for Magomed. He and his family are going to need our help," Sampson Lewkowicz said in a statement released Tuesday. "He is going to need financial assistance for the medical bills for his treatment, and for his family who are faced with an urgent financial crunch from this terrible accident."
"We cannot, as a boxing family, turn our backs on the brave men and women who compete in our sport when they need us most," Lewkowicz continued." We are going to do everything possible to help him get back on his feet. Magomed will never fight again, but he is a good man and a brave man with a nice family. We are going to make sure they all pull through this intact. That is the right thing to do. Every dollar will help."

The fight was awesome. Probably the best heavyweight fight I've seen in years.
It's tough to say if the fight should have been stopped, i mean in hindsight yeah obviously but at the time it seemed like Mago broke his nose or maybe his jaw. He was complaining of swelling and asked his corner if his nose was broken. But he kept fighting back, seemed hurt but ok. I think towards the end, when it was clear he wasn't going to win a decision they could have stopped it. Really sad.
Anyways, I guess the WBC is gonna pay $50k. I would hope his promoter and maybe HBO will pay some money for bills. I guess the NY law is the mandatory, minimum insurance on a fighter only covers $7,500. That needs to change. Mago's bills are gonna be over $100k. They had to remove part of his scull to reduce brain swelling. He had a stroke. He's on life support. The medical costs will be massive. His purse was only $40k (before taxes).

I dunno, I think for the most part refs and doctors are great at stopping fights, like in Vegas, NY, etc. Most people complain of premature stoppages (but they are doing their jobs). This fight was a tough on to call....
Promoters and the sanctioning bodies should always pay the bills, period. I'll always hate Don King for not giving Gerald McClellan his full purse, pos.

I think I err on the side of caution and too much emphasis is put on a guy winning a fight. If you're so far out of the fight and don't normally ko guys in one punch, I'm fine with a corner stopping the fight. I think of Hatton or Khan beating Paulie. Perfect example. He ate a bunch of hard punches and was clearly losing. What's the point in going 1 more round. You lost kid, you'll live to fight another day. It's not like he's quitting. You hire your corner to look out for your best interest in addition to training you. I think more should be done. There's only a few good refs out there that we regularly see, and they've been the same ref's that have been good for years.
