Boxing

Well I understand the first Apollo Creed fight was a one off that Creed did not take seriously, but in the rematch Creed had prepared properly. He should have buried him with his longer reach jabs.

Well, he was rising up, back off the street, he did his time, he took his chances, he went the distance and was back on his feet, just a man and his will to survive. So many times, it happens too fast, you change your passion for glory (which he eventually did). He didn't lose his grip of his dreams of the past, he must fight just to keep them alive.

Because, it's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, Rising up to the challenge of a rival (Apollo), and the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night, because he's watching us all with the eye, of the tiger.

Face to face, he was out in the heat, definitely hanging tough but staying hungry. They stacked the odds yet he took to the streets for the kill with the skill to survive.

He rose up, straight to the top, he had the guts now the glory, he went the distance and he never did stop, Just Rocky and his will to survive.

Yeah, so i think that sums it up why Rocky won. It's funny how similar my description is to eye of the tiger aye :P
 

After what happened to JMM i'm utterly delighted Manny got robbed, what goes around comes around.

While that fat whopper arum is alive the Mayweather fight would never happen anyway, and if it did it would be a one sided Mayweather win, boxing needs Bob arum to die and fast
 

The pair of them are a credit to the sport, I like how they handled it post fight.

Such a shame the judges are corrupt and haven't a clue about boxing.

I remember why I don't follow boxing as avidly as I did now.

I'm exactly the same boxing ain't what it was.

Full of corruption.
 
The decision was a ridiculous decision. You guys all know who won this fight. So let’s be honest about the situation. Hopefully we’ll revisit it in November….I hope boxing recovers, because this isn’t arguing about a close decision. This is is something that’s an absurdity, that’s ridiculous, and everybody that’s involved in boxing should feel ashamed. -Promoter Bob Arum

that fat ballbag is doing more damage to boxing than anyone else in the sport, so e can do one, he wasnt complaining when manny jobbed marquez
 
Its on the downward spiral, its a shame because that Froch fight and the way Bellew has been boxing has been exceptional

Well if you want to get technical about it, Rocky didn't get the eye of the tiger until after Clubber Lang beat him senseless and fell in love with Apollo while both were running on the beach in the shortest shorts ever created by man.
 
the olympics should still be decent though, weve got a good crop of fighters, and GB is one of the fairer countries for the amateur game decision wise, getting rid of the 4 x 2 mins for 3 x 3 has improved it aswell

I'm not a fan of how they score the fights.
