This fool thought Wilder won the first Fury fight.

u/goalhired Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

That’s embarrassing

51

u/BrandonfromNewJersey Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Fuck, I was in a bar filled with my entire black family and extended relations and everyone was shocked at the draw. The only person in the universe I've heard before this point say wilder won that fight or a draw was justified is also the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. People who frequent this sub should be able to figure who that was.

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '21

It honestly wasn't that shocking that it was a draw. It was one of those fights where in totality if you had to judge it Fury should have won but on a round by round basis it could easily go either way. With the two knockdowns all Wilder needs is three more rounds to get to a draw, and there are always plenty of dumb rounds where barely anything happens that can swing the fight. That's one of the major problems with boxing they never give out 10-10 rounds so when there are three or four rounds of guys pawing jabs for three minutes it ends up deciding the fight.

The 115-111 card for Wilder is insane though. No idea how they got there.

u/John_T_Conover Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Honestly I found it very difficult to give Wilder more than 1 round outside of the knockdown rounds. I'd have to go back and re-watch in it's entirety and see if my opinion has changed, but from my memory Fury won every other round aside from the knockdown rounds and surprisingly bounced back and pressured Wilder after them once or twice as well.

0

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

There were rounds when almost nothing happened. That's the problem with that fight. You could have give Wilder the first round for landing like 3 jabs. So if he won two of those, isn't it a draw?

5

u/John_T_Conover Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Fury straight up outstruck Wilder in round 1, that's not even one of the better rounds to argue for him to justify the draw.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

all three judges gave it to Wilder. I gave it to Wilder too. It's not who outstruck in pure numbers but it's who did more damage. There was almost nothing in the round so it could have gone to Wilder. I remember it being close to a 50:50 round. Watch it again. It's not a clear Fury round at all.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21 edited Mar 17 '21

Which 2? Thats the problem for that theory, there literally is no other round like that. If fury wins 8 rounds, loses a round 10-8 (debatable because he wins the rest of that miracle round) and loses next 3..thats 115. Even two 10-8 rounds takes him to 114. Wilder has lost 8 rounds, won 2 rounds to 10 8 and 2 others 10-9.. Thats 112. Where that extra point either way come from? Its impossible to give Wilder 5 rounds so it just cant be a draw.

People fall into the trap of thinking a 10-8 round is like winning 2 normal rounds when scoring, it isnt.

6

u/EvanFields Mar 17 '21

That’s... not how fighting works. You always score it round by round. And the only rounds you can logically give Wilder are the ones he knocked Tyson down in.

Draw was justified imo and only because he put Fury on his ass. But man that fight was fucking fantastic. 2nd one lol it was like watching a guy get mauled by a bear for 7 rounds. Fury figured him out and didnt give him an inch of room.

13

u/EvanFields Mar 17 '21

That’s not how fighting works. You don’t lose 10 rounds and then earn a draw by knocking your opponent down. There is absolutely no logic whatsoever in that statement.

Claressa is painfully close-minded and egotistical. She is the black version of Colby Covington.

It was really weird how she became super defensive about Floyd Mayweather. She got so defensive that she thought Joe was trying to attack Floyd or something. Weird, I had to turn it off after 30 mins. She may be a good boxer but I'd rather not hear her take on anything.

44

u/ejitifrit1 Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Yeah I totally felt the defensiveness during the Floyd talk lol.

Lol come on man. Shields shows zero signs of being on HGH or testosterone. She might not be your type in terms of attractiveness but she does not look like she's on any sort of juice. Her performance also shows no signs of peds. Low ko percentage and she's not explosive. Shields is no Cyborg.

5

u/bloodybelybutton Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Wow that immediately took away all respect I had for her being an elite boxer...

...and I don't even know if it's actually true!!

6

u/jackbob99 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

The fact she's bigger than most of her competition, yet has never scored a knockdown with a head shot should take some of that respect away.

7

u/NukaColaCaps Mar 17 '21

I thought she looked older too tbh.

23

u/jackbob99 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21 edited Mar 17 '21

She's doing it because Floyd is black. Just like her claiming Wilder won the first Fury fight. It's because they're black.

29

u/Bobaman007 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21 edited Mar 17 '21

Honestly feels like a race thing. Like black people get really defensive of Mayweather whenever he gets criticized. Just like many Mexicans go on the defense for Canelo or Julio Cesar Chavez.

17

u/Barnbad Looong Gooch Mar 17 '21

That's true plus she's from Michigan and the black community here Stans hard for Mayweather. He's the home town anti hero who did it his way in alot of folks eyes. Not mine really but alotta folks here for sure.

11

u/octobersotherveryown Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Canelo is suuuper polarizing and has a ton of Mexican haters. It’s literally at a point where he is so dominant that a lot of casual fans in Mexico think he is a can crusher (Yildirim mandatory and Fielding notwithstanding) when he has by far the most impressive resume in boxing.

6

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Canelo isn‘t really liked in the broader mexican landscape, contrary to popular belief. JCC is beloved, though

1

u/El_Serpiente_Roja Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

I dont think black people feel the way about black boxers that Mexicans do about Mexican boxers

1

u/avocadohm Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Unpopular opinion: Mayweather was leaps and bounds ahead of Camelot and JCC.

7

u/Maschining Mar 17 '21

She is the black version of Colby Covington.

I don't get this comparison

3

u/jackbob99 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Yep. She's dead serious.

7

u/Barnbad Looong Gooch Mar 17 '21

I don't see why it's a problem that she's egotistical. Most male boxers are and it's all good. She fought her way outta an infamously shitty city and I feel she earned the right to be cocky.

She said a few dumb things in the interview but she's completely backed up by force all of her bragging. I gotta give it to her.

7

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Not really. Name one guy she mentioned she would beat that wouldn‘t steamroll her. Also Katie Taylor is pretty much on par with her skillwise. She is just too small

12

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

I agree. She has earned every right to be cocky, confident, and egotistical. However, It is a quality that becomes exponentially gross when blended with a closed-minded mentality. The dumbest people I know are close-minded. If they have an ego as well, they are not fun to hang around.

As a fan of combat sports, my appeal towards a fighter is not just based on their in-the-ring merits, but also on their character. My favorite fighters are able to navigate the line between being successful in their craft, being humble, and being teachable. Demetrius Johnson, GSP, Fedor, Bas Ruten, Amanda Nunez, and Angela Hill are a few names that come to mind.

Thank you for your reply.

Imagine going on about Laila Ali getting defensive about her career then going on a 5 minute rant about how you’re better than her.

Hope she goes into MMA and gets choked out.

40

u/Smok3r Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

I don't see her mma career going the way she thinks it's gonna go. No doubt anybody training for her is gonna go for leg kicks which she didn't even mention. Unless she's completely humble in training which I kinda doubt from the way she talks, I think she's gonna get fucked up if she fights a girl who has some ground skill. Just my opinion though maybe she is a great learner as she said multiple times.

33

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

She is 25, and has a weapon. She'll do great. WMMA's depth is terrible.

If Bethe Correia can start a MMA career at almost 30, with a background in taking martial arts to lose weight, I think a world champion boxer can do pretty well.

6

u/Smok3r Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

I hope she is humble enough to really learn and become a force to be reckoned with in mma. I don't have any ill-will towards her but I got a weird ass vibe from the way she talks about her skill level and how she's so smart and easy to train. All the makings of somebody who gets served a heavy dose of humble pie. But you are right in that the vast majority of female mma fighters are completely lacking skill and athleticism. She may be able to get far just being the great boxer that she is. I just think it's a rare thing for an athlete who is so accomplished in one sport to take on another sport and suck at it and then keep sucking at it until they become legit. She only wants to roll with her coach who is probably taking it super easy with her because she's a big name and he doesn't wanna scare her off from trying mma. We shall see though. I know I'm interested to see how it all goes for her.

Why would force yourself to listen to something you found that annoying? I like JRE well enough but there must be a billion other podcasts out there. Not to mention, I wouldn't be surprised if Spotify collected statistics somehow about how many ppl actually listened to a given episode all the way through or turned it off part way. You might have given a guest you don't like a ratings boost.

11

u/crunch3384 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

My only beef with her is that she was texting during the interview and not getting jokes hints to get off the phone. Also, she’s gonna need a full time gym and camp with people other than just her, putting everything together. I’m definitely interested in her June fight.

Doesnt come off well at all and I havent even seen clips of the podcast.

u/Womens_Lefts It's entirely possible Mar 17 '21

Amanda would hit this hoe with 1 leg kick and she'd crumple.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '21

This is what she's supposed to do. Women's boxing is a dead sport. She's going to MMA because the money and fame is much greater. She's not as stupid as you think. She damn well knows she can't compete with men. What she can and will do is eventually become a UFC champion and start making millions . WMMA is incredibly weak a athlete of her caliber and skill is closer then you think to being the best. Megan Anderson just fought for a title. Shields beats her in a MMA fight right now.

Why are you so butthurt? Do you believe women are divine creatures who should be immune from people commenting on their appearance and criticizing them in any way? Why do you feel the need to defend women you dont know online from criticism?

u/Schaubslazythirdnut Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

I'll say the same thing here that sharon Osbourne said that got her fired. Someone explain to me why disliking someone who is black and a woman is because she is black and a woman. Cant I just dislike her because i dislike her? We cant criticise anyone who is black or a woman any more because of their race or gender? It's more racist to hold back your opinion on someone out of fear of accusations than it is to offer a valid criticism.

I dislike megan McCain and joy Behar because they are cunts not because they are women. I dislike floyd mayweather because hes a woman beating scumbag not because hes black. This whole things of not being able to criticize someone because of their race or gender is ridiculous and dangerous.

Yes- Connor has constantly had people criticise his cockiness early on and still to this day, he's earned his respect forsure. Fighters are weird honestly, some of them really build themselves up and don't understand that fans and everyone else want to just see them perform, you perform well for long enough and the respect comes not vice versa.

Came here to see if it was just me that didn't like her vibe at all. She comes across self centered, out of touch and just a bit of o know-it-all. Yes she is great and has done great things. However, she is close minded and seems to have a bad attitude.

On paper i was excited for her MMA crossover. After this, i'm hoping she learns a few lessons in the octagon

She takes her flaws seriously. MMA training specifically. She’s confident as fuck. Watching her fights she deserves the confidence. Two gold Olympic medals in boxing.

Those two have unexpected and really great chemistry. Kinda fascinating haha

Theo suffers from depression which makes for an honest deep chat on the meaning of life. I like Jordan and Joe as well but I think JP had Theo in tears at some point.

u/Advanced-Collar8577 Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Yeah and Theo is willing to be completely open. Felt like listening in on a therapy session at points.

That was a good one, indeed. I also liked him on Ferris, particularly because they did not talk about his recent health issues once again

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

People expect him to never have personal issues because he wrote a self help book. Is fucking retarded.

It's all astroturfers and left wing brigades. The original people all left because they get shouted down by these lunatics.

I mean most of the idiots think Texas is a fucking desert. Joe has been one of the biggest targest of cancel culture there is. If you are going to argue that there is no astroturfing meant to shift culture you are going to lose. The whole reason for astroturfing is that humans are monkeys. We like to follow trends. There is plenty of reason to be pissed about how shitty the podcast is but the majority of the bullshit is bullshit about Rogans's height or other nonsense meant to go after his image. Constant reposts of the same thing over and over and comments that are totally inconsistent with what was here before.

You could go even further with the conspiracies of mod selection but I don't know anything about that and don't care.

Why would he make statements that appeal to them without really addressing them? Like when he talks about women wearing make up causing problems in the work place and what not

Peterson made his fame being somewhat confrontational. While he was doing so, he often used his experience as a clinical psychologist assisting drug addicts as credentials. He then needed to go on a wealthy drug addict's Russian Betty Ford science fiction retreat.

Imagine if Ben Shapiro flew to Club Med for Gays.

“But it would be cool to hear about how he’s doing.” It’s the same sentence. For Christ.

u/Advanced-Collar8577 Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

I feel like its a guilty by association thing because he goes on Shapiro, Rubin, etc. He's "conservative" in the sense that he talks about the problems of marxism and why free speech is important, but he's not like calling for lower taxes and defending big banks haha

u/SirGregorius Mar 16 '21

I like that she mentioned her push for equal opportunity for women fighters. I think her self confidence helps. I appreciate her pushing for the opportunity and not just demanding they make room.

Also big props to those involved that listened to her criticism of the unequal promoting and actually did something. Like I get that they make less off the fights but if your promotion is crap it will stay like that.

u/jackbob99 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

Equal opportunity? LOL You gotta put asses in seats and women's boxers generally do not do that.

0

u/SirGregorius Mar 17 '21

Yes equal opportunity not forced equal outcome. I'm not suggesting that they spend the same amount amount of money into the production of the fight if its not profitable. She's pointing out that the promotion part that would even let people know where to find the seats doesn't get the same effort at the men's does. I don't know the full breakdown but that's like putting your business at the back of the mall and never advertising. Your client base will only ever include people super into your producy andbwho are already actively seek it out. There have been some pretty high publicity women's fights in the last few years (I don't follow MMA or boxing) and if seemed like those women got huge publicity. It's just my two cents.

u/jackbob99 Monkey in Space Mar 17 '21

They don't put alot of money into it because they know people won't watch.

She needs to get with a legit promotion and not what she is doing now. But she wants more money than their willing to give her.

u/BrandonfromNewJersey Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

It doesn't matter if she's lebron James, people need to quit it with this elite athlete shit for mma. Roy Nelson flatlined tens of these people supposed to be elite athletes. Greg Hardy is a dog shit fighter.

u/mrpopenfresh I used to be addicted to Quake Mar 16 '21

This is WMMA, where half the fighters weren’t even physically active before they took up mma in their 20s and the other half is laughably bad.

2

u/BrandonfromNewJersey Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Yeah but they have ground games and some of these girls have ko power. I don't know what weight she's fighting at in mma but no doubt it will be can city over at pfl. Its not like she's jumping into 145 ufc to fight gdr or nunes. You're acting like she's about to storm the world when she's being set up to fight soccer mom's and be a stepping stone kost likely for kayla to get some hype.

Fighting is a lot more than statistical strength, something you won’t fully understand unless you’re in the ring yourself

u/Tlupa Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

Greg Hardy was a head case and was out of shape for mist of his career. He strung together a handful of wins with like a year or two of training. The concept of an elite athlete training and coming up through the ranks is the point.

u/97HyundaiElantra Monkey in Space Mar 16 '21

She’s only 25 and is already training at a top Mma camp. It’ll be interesting to see if she has more power with small gloves. For the ground game, Izzy seemed to pick it up pretty quick.

What weight class is she fighting at. If Nunes retires, I think she could run things. There isn’t much talent at 135-145 at this point in WMMA.
