Discuss

[JDMcNugent7]

UFC took over

[Zybomb]

I'll make a separate one for Liddell / Jackson when it's closer

[melioris]

De La Hoya in a late round KO. Should be a battle.

[eejit101]

if calzaghe/hatton/harrison/khan arent in it, i dont care

de la hoya ftw tho

[bunny]

Is de la Hoya the one who bit the ear off another boxer?

If not, who was it?

I hope I didn't imagine reading about this? lol

[eejit101]

mike tyson bit off evander holyfields ear.

[Reel Deal]

OH

MY

GOD

[Reel Deal]

De La Hoya is going to get his ass whipped... and Mayweather is going to tell him about it throughout the entire ass whoppin'.

[jillaj]

I hope it ends with them both knocking each other out. Kinda like the end of whatever Rcoky that happened in.

[bunny]

I am not a boxer fan, but I do read the paper (now & then ) and I do remember reading about the ear biting, but don't recall who it was.


side note: **If I ask you what style of shoes are in fashion this year, and you don't guess it right, I too can say OH MY GOD, right?

[Talking Poker]

LOL.... I actually said pretty much exactly this (same timing and everything) when I read her post... I scroll down a but, and there it is. Too funny.

[Talking Poker]

Sure, if that's something that 95% of people in the world know the answer too.

I would compare this (not knowing who did the ear biting) to not knowing what former professional football player murdered was accused of murdering his wife back in 95 or so.... You know, the one who went on that big slow speed chase in the white Bronco with the entire world watching. O.J. something, I think...............

Then again, I found out earlier this year that there are people (I'm trying not to be sexist) in this world who don't know what a "Quarterback's" job is, so obviously I have a warped view of women following professional sports. In other words, does a QB: 1. Kick a ball, 2. Throw a ball, or 3. Catch a ball? And yes, I have seen otherwise intelligent women not be able to answer this question.

[bunny]

I would choose 2 (Throw a ball)

As for the OJ case, the whole court hearing & judgement was televised; so I don't believe it is the same as the ear biting event.

[Talking Poker]

Maybe not the best comparison, but the Tyson thing was pretty big news. It was definitely televised - about a million times, over and over and over.

In fact, since we are YouTubing fools today:

[bunny]

I don't need to view the match itself, I knew it was a boxer, I simply could not remember his name.

I will stay away from the sports section threads.

[Talking Poker]

*sigh* Typical bunny response.

Why not just watch the clips? I've been watching Tyson clips since I posted the links above. Good stuff. The guy was one of a kind.

Watching him fight was great, but listening to him talk was always an experience too. I mean, WTF - listen to this guy!!!

[Zybomb]

My response as well.

More so bunny, bc De La Hoya is the "good guy" of boxing. You know, never been in a street fight, well spoken, humble, polite, respectful etc etc. Mike Tyson is the opposite, a street thug without a care in the world (and a few marbles short upstairs) who will "eat the childrens of his opponent" and "wants his opponents heart". So to think De La Hoya did something that Tyson did is just hilarious after the "Oh MY God"

Here is a link to some of Tysons interviewers for your viewing pleasure for further examples (this is funny)



Edit: didnt see TPs link sorry repost

[bunny]

OH MY GOD! He is such a sexist, disgusting, abusive pig!

[Dodoubled]

Actually, I was hoping to see one for Liddell/Johnny Drama, too ...

Seriously, though, who's buying the fight? I'll be at a party that night, so we'll see. I'll certainly pay my share.
FWIW: It's $54.95 plus fees.

[Zybomb]

I have work tomorrow night, but a few friends are ordering the fight, so im hoping to be out in time for the main event. The undercard looks fairly lame, so I dont mind missing that.

[Reel Deal]

Absolutely.

BTW, my guess is flip-flops?

[bunny]

LOL

Would be wrong, but nice try.

[Talking Poker]

Yes.... the exact opposite of De La Hoya - the og boxing.

[bunny]

Oh mon Dieu! Il est absolument formidable...comme il est beau.

I choose him to win, when is this fight? Tomorrow night? I will try to watch it.

**I am now a fan of Golden Boy Hoya!
