umm, do they not physically run each other over in that sport? No tackling involved in "australian rules football"?

Of course there is.

And yes, there was a fair amount of uproar over her being allowed to compete. No-one in their right mind wants to see women being bulldozed by a 200+ trans-player.

Well, unless the women being bulldozed support the shit that leads to it happening. In that case I'm all for some dumb lefty tart getting obliterated by 6'4" Gazza in his earings.

@TechnicalBarbarity just on the subject of Aussie football, check this shit out. Ah I miss the glory days, sport is soft as wet bread now.

Haha, yeah that'd be quite ironic to see such a thing happen.

I hope Cerrone kicks Conor's head clean off his shoulders in January or whenever this happens.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah same here, but i think that might be a bad matchup for Cerrone if they stay on their feet. He's a solid kickboxer, but i think Connor will be the one controlling the distance in that fight if it stays on their feet and will have his way with his superior boxing skills. That being said anything can happen and he might just get cro-cop'd.

Kind of looking forward to tomorrows fight between Overeem and that one undefeated African dude. Should be banger ...

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

....Overeem definitely let Mr Rozenstruik bang ...

... right in the fuckin' mouth.

 

[CiG]

OMG! That's fucking brutal.

 

[CiG]

Rozenstruik banged that dude's lip off his tooth!

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

He'll scarf down some horses and be back in no time.

... "horse beef"

I can never get tired of watching that dude get beat up. One of my most disliked fighters. I think he's only been caught once but everyone knows he's the biggest juicer ever. Have you seen what he looked like when he was fighting in Pride?

 

[CiG]

Yeah he used to look like an actual kickboxer, now he looks like fucking Lyle Alzado or something. Absolute juicer, I loved seeing Stipe murder him on the ground. Didn't he make some insane claim that Stipe actually tapped during that fight?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you should have seen him about 8-9 years ago. He looked like a fucking roidmonster. Now hes kind of flabby since hes had to stop juicing ...

edit: re Stipe haha yea i think he did

 

[CiG]

Jesus Christ, he could play Bane!

 

[no country for old wainds]

lol i was gonna post about that. i hadn't seen that image though lmao, what a mess.

i watched the joshua ruiz rematch. it was boring with a terrible atmosphere because saudi arabia. good performance by joshua though, the first time i've ever seen him actually fight smart, he looked like a manny stewart fighter in there. would be really interesting to see him try to fight that way against a guy his size though, i still think he'd be underdog against wilder and definitely fury.

I’m not sure in my time watching combat sports I’ve ever witnessed too many faces exploding quite like that.

I dislike Overeem too so seeing him lose is always a plus.

for your viewing pleasure.



last guy nearly takes his head off.

the almighty left hook, my favorite punch. Rozenstruik actually called that dude out yesterday after the fight. Not sure if he thought that one through since he's pretty much just a striker and Ngounnou loves putting people to sleep, but i think he should have aimed a little lower and called out Derrick Lewis or something.

EDIT: worst cut ive ever seen was probably when Vitor Belfort split Marvin Eastmans forehead in half

seriously man, i know the ayrab money reaches far but they need to stop having events out there.

After watching Joshuas last two fights im going to have to take back what i said about him being the best heavyweight right now. Ruiz successfully closed the gap a few times yesterday, cant imagine what would happen to him if he approaches Wilder(who wouldnt even need to get inside to knock him out) with that same strategy.

 

[no country for old wainds]

not to mention joshua's kinda chinny which is why he's started trying to fight like wlad lol, just circling, jabbing, potshotting and clinching. i dunno, my opinion of joshua has always been that he's the best heavyweight if you're stood in front of him in the pocket, he's devastating in there if you let him work, but anyone who manages to box him from the outside or hustle inside is gonna have a lot of success. he's a typical over-schooled british fighter who doesn't know what to do if he's dragged out of his comfort zone. he did show last night he can at least box a smaller guy from the outside, and that's the best he's ever looked in terms of lateral movement and discipline etc, but i kinda doubt he'll be able to do it against a long-armed giant like wilder, or someone with the handspeed and footwork of fury.

every wilder fight is just him getting outboxed until he lands something massive and wins, i figure that fight would be the same. joshua always gets tagged and doesn't tend to handle it well, and he's never faced someone who punches like wilder. there's always a chance he could land something big on ol' chicken legs first, i guess. the people who claim this is a new golden age of heavyweight boxing are delusional, all of these guys are pretty heavily flawed, but those flaws are kinda what makes it intriguing and difficult to predict. wilder fury and joshua klitschko were both great fun. i hope joshua ends up fighting both those guys to give a clearer picture of who's the boss right now. i'm really not interested in seeing a third fight with ruiz.

haha yeah that's pretty much what im referring to. My opinion on him has changed drastically tbh. What he needed to do was come back and Rahman Andy Ruiz, or at least that';s what i wanted him to do lol. i dont think outboxing Andy Ruiz(the smaller, weaker man with less tools) is really anything to be proud of lol

the people who claim this is a new golden age of heavyweight boxing are delusional, all of these guys are pretty heavily flawed

Lennox Lewis would have murdered the whole division. Have you seen that one clip where he was trying to teach Wilder how to throw a proper jab lol. A prime Tyson would have also easily wrecked everyone in that divisionright now
