Any UFC and Boxing fans here?

A couple names I hear being mentioned in another forum I frequent is someone nicknamed cyborg and some other chick who apparently is a tranny.
I think her name is Fallon Fox. So what they were saying is that Rousey has refused to fight this Fallon Fox character and well now she holds all the
leverage in a potential fight against cyborg. However, cyborg would have to come down in weight which could be a deal-breaker.

If she's a tranny, I can understand why Rousey refuses to fight because technically speaking, the male body has 50% more muscle mass than woman so for the same weight, the tranny will have more muscle mass than her and therefore more punch power.

That's why I think that even at 135 lb like Rousey a male would have more chances of winning than her. That's not me saying it, that's just basic biology. However, Rousey could beat him based on her judo and fighting skills.

Great video

Yeah good video... watching it now.

The problem with Lemieux is that he's a new kid in town, nobody knows him. We know Golovkin but not Lemieux so we can talk and talk and speculate all we want, nobody knows who will win this one.

I know that you and many other experts will say that Golovkin will kick his ass because you know what Golovkin can do but do you really know what Lemieux can do?

That goes for me too. I'm not saying this because he's the local guy but because I don't have a clue what Lemieux will handle the punches. Maybe he will not do good and fall on the 1st punch from GGG but again, I don't know the kid. All I know is that he can punch and very powerfully and he won every fight by TKO so now we will see next Saturday how good he is at handling strong punches and that goes to GGG too. I'm not sure he got hit as strong as Lemieux can punch.

Anyway, if I would bet it would not be more than $1 and it would be on GGG but that's about it for me because I'm as blind as everyone on this one.

All I know is that it will be a kick ass fight.

Yeah I know. I'm actually surprised that they made this a pay-per-view fight, given that Lemieux is such an unknown. It's a risk but at the same time, from the little I've seen of him, he's a very exciting knockout artist and he has the knockout ratio to back him up. Plus Golovkin has a huge hispanic fanbase since he fights "Mexican style". Man I'd love for Lemieux and Golovkin to both knock each other down and give us a war. I want to see what they're both made of.

It's funny but ever since the Mayweather Pacquaio fight, every fight I've seen since then I hear the promoters and commentators seemingly go out of their way to mention how the fight will be "action-packed". They're still reeling trying to get casual fans back into boxing ever since that boring fight.

I haven't seen the most recent betting odds, but I know 5Dimes had Golovkin as a -2000 favorite I may not know much about Lemieux, but even the sportsbooks seem to be underestimating him. I think the key punch in this fight will be Golovkin's left hook to the body. It's such a deadly punch and while it's not flashy, he uses it to really knock the fight out of his opponents. So I'm really gonna watch for how Golovkin works the body punches on Lemieux.

As for Lemieux, I'd like to see him jump on Golovkin early. I don't want to see him respect his power or any of that bs. He needs to jump on him and just throw non-stop power punches at him and see what happens. Golovkin loves to start the 1st round slow. He also doesn't have great defense and this could disrupt him and his chin will be tested for the first time ever. However, if Golovkin shrugs off this early attack, it's game over.

But think about it, combined they've fought 69 fights and have 62 knockouts
I'm gonna buy the pay-per-view just cuz I have money to burn and because I need to watch this in full HD big screen glory.

As for Lemieux, I'd like to see him jump on Golovkin early.

I don't think that both these guys are stupid enough to do that. They know how dangerous is it to just jump on 1 of these 2 guys, usually when you do that, you lay on the ground at the end of the round.

It's sad but I think this fight will be a bit slow because of that. Like they said in the video, 1 punch can make all the difference so they will respect each other or play Russian roulette and that could be deadly for either side that does this mistake.

One thing I know is that when one of them decides to throw a punch, he's going for the homerun that's for sure so don't blink, it could be over very fast.

Also, we will learn more about the chin of both these guys since each punch is going to the moon, if they don't have a good chin, the fight won't be long.

Here's another video

Will watch it tomorrow.

1 more week to go my friend before the fight.

So I was going through the comments and someone pointed out to pause the video at about the 11:00 mark or so.
Golovkin looks like a damn serial killer there

Golovkin looks like a damn serial killer there

Yeah nice video.

Like I said above, we all know what GGG can do but we don't have a clue what David can do. Even I, a guy from MTL doesn't know him, it's like he came out of nowhere even though he had 30+ fights but before the last 2-3 fights we never heard of him.

He could bring down GGG in the first round or win after 12 rounds or GGG can do the same. That's why I love this fight so much because we just don't know.

The reason why I would bet on GGG (not more than $1 though ) is because I know what GGG can do but the guy who will bet his house on GGG for this fight is a fool if you ask me.

Take a look at the number of TKOs per round of GGG and David Lemieux.

Very impressive.

!!KO.gif (10.17 KiB) Viewed 3616 times

That's 69% TKO within the first 2 rounds for David and 30% for GGG.

GGG is good too in this field but David seems to give everything he's got within the first 2 rounds. So basically the task for GGG is to survive those 2 first rounds.

I'm pretty sure GGG knows that and if he's not scared or doesn't respect that power, he might regret it for a while.
