Yeah, that's definitely a big factor. In shape, Shogun's a beast, and out of shape, he's still a beast but only for a round and a half. He looked better at the weigh-in than I've seen in a long time. WHen he fought Dan Henderson, he looked really out of shape and still went 5 hellish rounds...

Yeah, the Diaz fans booed Bendo at the weigh-in, but Bendo still had a good contingent of hometown peeps here to support him. And that's another good point about their chins. Shogun and Penn have been through wars, but neither of them have ever been KO'd flat out, unconscious on the mat...

You're getting good odds and here are a few things to make you feel better: I believe Rory SHOULD beat Penn. On paper, there is no other conclusion to come to. However, there is one thing that can't be accounted for, and that is the psychological factor. Rory is SEVERELY underestimating BJ...

Nice to see you respecting the pioneers of the sport. By your logic the largest person in each division should be champion. Brock Lesnar should have dominated the HW division for years, right? Weight matters if the disparity is enormous (and sometimes not even then), or if all else is...

striking. Grappling is great when both guys are being aggressive and going for subs or big GnP, but Lay n' Pray or "stifling jiu-jitsu" is really freaking boring.

Since when did people get all caught up in size differences? Didn't Royce Gracie teach us that size really doesn't determine who's going to win?

my guess would be sodium tabs to help retain all the water he was about to drink.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. Bonnar is not the fastest guy when it comes to the history of combat sports, so it wasn't really that surprising when he got clowned by Silva who has great speed and accuracy. Plus, Anderson actually utilizes some decent boxing technique (rolling with punches...

I think Tyson could well have been one of the greatest boxers of all time, but he wasn't surrounded by the best people. He was so young, and after Cus died, it was all downhill.

At Church.

Shogun by GnP or Sub. Gus has been running hot, but the competition he's beat is nowhere near Shogun's level and you always have to wonder about a 1st round phenom, especially when you know he's going to go through the fire with someone of Shogun's caliber. I like Alexander though, he's got a...

I see a lot of people doing pushups the way Faber does in that video and to me, those just aren't full pushups. His elbow barely goes past 90 degrees on the ascent. At the gym I go to, there are ROTC people there that train in groups with their CO's nearby. When they're doing pushup work, I...

Hearns v. Leonard 1 if you want to see one of the greatest welterweight fights of all time (if not the greatest)

(1) You are WAY too worked up about this (2) When did I defend compubox? I simply compared your description of it to the judging system and found that they both shared many commonalities. You can't sit here and tell us that your description isn't EXTREMELY similar to a description of what...

The punishment both men took in the Thrilla was unfathomable, and in that sweltering heat no less. Amazing test of courage, stamina, and will. Unbelievable.

What does it matter if HBO wants to employ Compubox? The judges decide the fight, not the public. Who cares if public opinion is swayed? The public is outraged by this decision and nothing will be done about it, so it doesn't matter. Bradley gets the win. I just find it interesting that...

Yeah, three flawed humans watching and interpreting a fight...shame on Compubox. For SHAME. Good thing Boxing doesn't include this type of flawed setup anywhere in its official scoring system... wait a minute...

Not feinting. Much easier to fight against a guy who never fakes you out.

Pacquiao by devastating shot to the hip.

No, I'm just trying to inject some lightheartedness into these discussions which get far too heated for no real reason. I'm as guilty of getting overly worked up as anyone. Although I still believe this fight was a clear and lopsided victory for Pacquiao, I respect all of you who believe...
