Metal Reviews

MAB is my favorite fighter that is still active. Can he hang with Pacman now that he knows what is coming? He has shocked before, people thought he was done after Junior Jones Ko'd him and won a decision and put the beat down on EM in their first fight and got robbed. He whipped Hammed's ass when nobody though he could. He looked rough as shit against Juarez the first time and out boxed him the 2nd time.......what do you think Ken?

And how about a fucking big time HaIL to Eric M for taking on all the best and never backing down.

Holy shit!!

Jameel McCline (right) is 6'6", about 270lbs, and he looks like a fucking midget next to Valuev!



That is nuts. Valuev by death.

Ha ha, he is going to Hulk Smash him for the KO like he did Barret.

You see your boy Jermain looking kind of crappy against Ouma? He better fight Winky again for bucks, Calzaghe might kill him. Kessler damn sure would at 168.

Weird, right? It was almost like he was worried about killing Ouma. I think that's the worst I've seen him.

Of course, Ouma has never blocked a punch in his career, so you know he has a good chin.

Nah, Taylor always looks like that to me. He is what he is.

Please; Taylor looked pretty bad in the Ouma fight. He's never looked even close to that bad, except for maybe when Hopkins was running from him.

He looked like that when Hopkins had him hurt and he was running backwards trying not to get KO'd...

Revitionist history lessons; I hate them. Taylor was never hurt, but overwhelmed by a charging, flailing Hopkins. You seriously think Taylor was hurt? You're nuts, dude. The guy has a rock solid chin, and Hopkins is weak.

I think you didn't watch the first fight man. Seriously. Hopkins should still be middleweight champ and lt Hvy champ. Yeah he looked real weak, 40 fucking years old and Taylor couldn't touch him.........

Taylor's days are numbered, Winky will school him if they fight again or Calzaghe will crush him.

You are going to Deny Hopkins won all the Championship rounds of their first fight? I know you aren't, and lets put things into perspective, that was a 40 year old man in their against a mid 20's Olympic golden boy and he got robbed of the decision.

We can argue who won all day long. Both fights were close. Hopkins, however, should have utterly destroyed Taylor. I've already said that if Hopkins fought Taylor like he fought Tarver he'd not have lost either of those fights. But regardless of who won; Taylor was never hurt. Not once.


Winky won't beat him a second, he didn't beat him the first time. Calzaghe, however, has me on the fence. I've not seen much of him, and what I saw before the Lacy fight never impressed me much. But he destroyed Lacy! Taylor has far more skill than Lacy so I don't see Calzaghe doing the same to Taylor, but that would be a hard one for me to call without never seeing much of Calzaghe.


Nope. You're correct, Hopkins won the championship round. All two of them. Hive him another two, maybe three. That still doesn't win you a fight. Each fight Hopkins slacked for way too long. You can't win a decision winning rounds 8 through 12 and losing the rest. Sorry.

I think you were jumping up and down so hard for Taylor your doube chin blocked your vision bro..............

Who did Hopkins every "destroy" outside of Trinidad, Joe Lipsey and Joppy? He wears people down and makes them miss punches. You could see the Tarver thing coming, seriously Hopkins shut out Glen Johnson and Ko'd him in the 12th (I think? or UD) a guy Tarver went life and death with. Tarver also couldn't get it "up" for Harding the 1st fight either.

Winky won the first fight.

I should have said more, I meant Hopkins should have destroyed Taylor if what people like you say is true. And he still beat Tarver pretty fucking bad, dude. Hopkins did not do enough to beat Taylor. It doesn't matter. He simply did not win enough rounds.

I didn't think he would destroy Taylor, and a lot of people picked Taylor to win.

Bottom Line, Taylor didn't do enough to take the belt from the champion in the first fight. It was even after 10 do to non action on both parts, Hopkins came alive, swept the last two round (hurting Taylor badly) and won 7-5.

2nd fight I might agree with you.

Taylor DEF lost to Winky and was very lucky to get a draw.

Yeah Hopkins beat the shit out of Tarver.

And you know you thought that double chin crack was funny......ha

Did you see Miranda fight last Sat? I missed it, but I did see Miranda/Abrahms on you tube. Miranda can punch but that fight with Abrahms was pretty even, Taylor would probably fuck him up, he should make that fight.

i'm going to the TNA/APW show tomorrow, here's the card:

- 10 Man Gauntlet for the APW title
- Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe/Jeff Jarret/AJ Styles/Chris Daniels (fans will vote on who faces Kurt Angle)
- Rhyno vs the runner-up from the above poll
- 3rd vs 4rd place from the above poll
- Abyss vs Christian for the title
- Team 3D vs VKM
- Spike Dudley vs Jerry Lynn
- Christy Hemme vs Gail Kim

just returned from the show, it was great!

- Brother Runt (Spike Dudley) vs Jerry Lynn
pretty decent, a good opening match. Runt won.

- 4 way match: Johnny Storm vs Jody Fleish vs 2 guys i can't remember, one of whom looked like David Spade
great match, a spotfest, but i like that. i wanted Fleish to take the win, but Johnny Storm won. also, most of the moves they did in that match would have been finishers in the WWE. there was more variety in that match that in entire WWE shows.
The winner would face Christopher Daniels later..

- Team 3D vs VKM
VKM start saying portugal sucks, etc etc., Bubba Ray calls one of the other guys "maricas" (pussy or sissy), etc etc, crappy match compensated with two 3Ds. also in the end D-Von went into the crowd and picked up a kid in a military press and carried him to the ring, and offered him a piece of the table. he asked him his name and the kid says "Jorge" and EVERYONE in the crowd starts screaming "JORGE! JORGE! JORGE!". pretty cool.

- Christian vs Abyss (for the title)
lol, terrible match, and it took over 10 minutes to actually start. Abyss won with the Black Hole Slam.

- Gauntlet Match for the Portuguese Title (lol)
Mad Dog (clad in a kilt and Slipknot shirt ) vs Paulinho (who looks just like Hurley from Lost)* vs Dynamite vs Viper Kid vs Ultra Psycho vs Arte Gore vs Johnny Casino vs Jimmy Best vs Prophet (who looks like a BM band member)*

awful, awful, awful match. ugh.

- Rhyno vs AJ Styles
crappy match considering what they're capable of, but still better than what i see on most Smackdown! shows. Rhyno won with a gore.

- Christopher Daniels vs Johnny Storm
great match, lots of high-flying and counters, Daniels won with a Moonsault.

- Christy Hemme vs Gail Kim
decent match, considering they're women. Hemme won with a "schoolgirl".

- MAIN EVENT: KURT ANGLE VS SAMOA JOE
excellent match!! Angle did great reverse maneuvres and Joe did one of his crazy ass dives and there was all-round great wrestling. we got to see the Angle Slam and Muscle Buster, and Joe tapped out to the Ankle Lock.



EDIT - see for yourself, that Hurley lookalike and Prophet:
Paulinho:
Prophet:

What the hell is Azrael talking about?

Anyway, UFC and boxing was on last night. The UFC card kind of sucked. Too many boring fights. Except they played one of the normally non-televised undercards after the main event because there was time left, and holy shit did those two dudes thrown down! They were fast as hell, and just fucking each other up for three rounds! It was awesome. With about 20 seconds left one dude got the other guy's leg and fucking twisted it so much it looked like his shin was going to snap! And the dude didn't tap! He sat there in pain watching the clock. What a crazy muthafucka! I love the turd jousts, they're so entertaining sometimes! Haha.

Boxing was pretty lame. Corey Spinks sucks, so boring. He won a UD. Diaz/Chavez was anti-climactic as Chavez's knee gave out in round two. They gave Diaz the win by TKO. Then Adamek and Dawnson threw down with a nice scrap. Dawnson dominated until he got dropped in the 10th. He got up, but it added some nice drama. He won a UD. Schooled Adamek.

Overall, not a great night for either boxing or UFC, so check out this clip from last week's UFC Fight Night:



Hahaha! What a fucking kick! Rashad Evans has gotten so much better since he came onto the UFC show. I'm definitely becoming a bigger fan of his each fight out.

about the TNA show i went to. that's a wrestling equivalent to a track-by-track review

a while ago i was listening to CNN and apparently Muhammad Ali's daughter beat some other chick in under a minute and apologized to the crowd, ownage

I know. I was just fucking with ya. Those names are insane!


Yeah, she sucks. Female boxing is generally pretty lame. Any chick can become a professional female boxer with nothing more than passing a physical and doing some paperwork. So the whole sport kind of sucks. However, Laila Ali is skilled. She knows how to fight, and if there were more female boxers like her the sport would be much more interesting to watch. But like a typical boxer, she ducks the one opponent that would be a challenge to her: Anne Wolfe.

Anne Wolfe would destroy Laila Ali! This is the ONLY fight that boxing fans want to see when it comes to female boxing. Ann Wolfe calls Ali out all the time. Ali talks shit, but will not agree to fight her. Wanna know why?

That's why. Anne Wolfe is a beast!

Never watched Anne Wolfe, I like that chick from N. Mex Holly Holm and Regina Hemlich from Germany. Elana Reid is a good fighter as well.

I saw those fights this weekend. Adamak and Dawson was a good fight, Adamak is tough as fuck but like most Euro's can't deal with a slick US boxer/puncher with pop. They just plod. I bet Dawson could do the same thing to Clinton Woods, that would be a great fight, so would Adamak/Woods. He isn't done yet. Did you see Adamak two fights with Paul Briggs? They are on Youtube.

Who do you like Mosely v Collazo? I know Collazo got somewhat jobbed against Hatton, should be a damn good fight. What was the name of that boxing site you visit? Maxboxing message boards are getting gay.......

On a pro wrestling note, what the hell is Vince doing to ECW? All the original ECW guys (Sandman, Dreamer, Balls Mahoney, Sabu) have turned into jobbers. RVD is jumping ship. I can't remember the last time they had an extreme rules match. It's turned into basically the most boring wrestling show on TV. Pathetic.
