@BoxrecGrey @Tom_Gray_Boxing @toddhodgson @UKRobBoxing Wanting the clear best cruiserweight in the world to be stripped of the ring title is weird behaviour. Stop it
English
Removed from The Ring ratings, stripped by the IBF, but allowed to retain the WBO title while serving a ban they imposed. Surely if the organisation is convinced of guilt, they should strip him of their championship?
Is it me?
Ring Magazine@ringmagazine
🚨 Janibek Alimkhanuly has been stripped of his IBF middleweight world title, The Ring has confirmed. The IBF cited multiple violations of its rules for the stripping, including PED usage. Janibek previously failed a VADA test taken last November. He still holds his WBO belt, but is currently serving a year long suspension the sanctioning body handed to him.

@ATokkers5 Who else was starting to make noise in 2021?

@generdtional @ScottKacsmar 2019 was a really bad year for action movies. I think the best one that year is John Wick 3

@ScottKacsmar Theres not an award Frankenstein won that Marty Supreme shouldnt have won

@snboxing I mean this seriously: who are the top contenders at welter right now? Liam Paro? Giyasov?

Nothing I’m seeing from Rocha tonight that would give a champ/top contender pause.

@Tcho76521726 @ChazakielDoremi What are some irl sports with non-standardized equipment?
English
@ChazakielDoremi I mean there are tons of irl sports that work like this, and I don't think it warrants supporting the nazis.
English
That Quidditch isn't played with standardized equipment so a rich boy can just be better at it is one of those things about the Wizarding World so clearly designed by and for the richest and most annoying few you can hardly be surprised Voldemort got the backing of the masses
Gene Parmesan@dsonoiki
Harry Potter is extremely overrated as a Quidditch player. Here are the facts: First, he has an equipment advantage. Year 1: he didn't even try out. McGonagall just put him on the team. Then he gets a Nimbus 2000 while everyone else is on discount, budget, school-issued brooms Year 3: Harry's Nimbus 2000 gets destroyed by the Whomping Willow and he gets a Firebolt. Once again, he has an equipment advantage Second, he misses too many games. The best ability is availability. Harry played in 9 Quidditch games at Hogwarts. Gryffindor had 13 games during that time. Harry missed 31% of his team's games Now, let's look at Gryffindor's record with and without Harry Book 1: Harry plays the first two games and misses the last one (infirmary). Team goes 2-1. He's 2-0 in games he plays Book 2: Harry plays one game, last two get canceled. Team is 1-0 Book 3: the ONLY season Harry plays all three games. Gryffindor goes 2-1 Book 4: no Quidditch (Triwizard Tournament) Book 5: Harry plays one game, attacks Malfoy, banned for life. Ginny steps in. Gryffindor wins the cup anyway Book 6: Harry plays first two games, misses the last one. Gryffindor wins the cup anyway Book 7: Harry is hunting Horcruxes with Ron and Hermione. Does not appear that Quidditch was played while school was under control of Death Eaters In the 4 games Harry missed, Gryffindor went 2-2. Not great, but they survived without him It's simple. Harry Potter is a great wizard. But as a Quidditch player? He's wildly overrated. You could argue that there are several people better than Harry at Quidditch: Victor Krum, Charlie Weasley, Cedric Diggory, Ludo Bagman, Ginny Weasley, Eunice Murray, Hamish McFarland Also, it's been decades since Harry Potter played Quidditch. The game is much faster now. There are more analytics. The players are more athletic. Even the coaching is different Let's stop hyping Harry as a Quidditch player
English
@RoldBoxing I think the mistake youre making is thinking that Turki has any sort of grand plan.
English
Here’s what I don’t get. Are Zuffa and Turki all part of the same umbrella or ultimately competing interests? If the former, why do you need a Zuffa and a Ring belt?
Jake Donovan@JakeNDaBox
I’m perfectly fine with Zuffa and the IBF fighting it out over who’s at fault… I’m also not auditioning for a job, so let’s just state the facts as they are. Pretending that Zuffa is treating their belt as “just a trinket” is an absurd stance.
English
@jethromcbean123 @capybaroness @Srirachachau Seasons 9/10 are the high point of the show. It was never that good again.
English
@capybaroness @Srirachachau You could do this whole piece through the lens of Survivor Vanuatu alone and the depictions of women like Twila and Ami.
It’s no coincidence survivor edit complexity peaks around S9/S10 and then the idol is introduced S11- edit shifts from people making choices to “the game”

@ScottKacsmar Great actress in need of a better agent. TV movies? Apple TV movies? Its an agent's job to tell her not to do this.
English
She's very good but it's hard to say she's had a big hit since Little Women, and 2019 was before COVID.
Zak@zakfilm
Saoirse Ronan should be the one getting all the hype instead of Chalamet. She’s the better actor and got the more impressive career for starters
English
@DPearsonPHL @TotalDepravity0 @ZaidJilani Sounds like Schumer and Jeffries should step down then. Its not like either needs the money.
English
@TotalDepravity0 @ZaidJilani I don’t recall Trump ever hitting on anyone Black, male or female.
English
Really makes you wonder how little political talent Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have that Zohran Mamdani, someone who was a state senator a year ago, can charm and exploit Trump and they can’t.
English
@Insert66438804 @coopercooperco Do we know that? The show has changed plenty from the books already. Why should we expect to get all ro most of the battles? Battles and dragons havent gotten any cheaper to make.
English
@WeightBullyFan @coopercooperco Yeah and then they got one, the final much bigger one was left out due to budget cuts and the writers strike. The next season we know actually has a bunch bc of what happens in F&B
English
I really do feel like the online public sentiment on House of the Dragon seems to have gone full fandom menace as of late, especially post that GRRM post. Really wonder how that’ll translate when the new season debuts.
F♯A♯∞, fka ☕️@coopercooperco
@egeofanatolia GRRM’s blogging about Condal has basically poisoned the well. I really wanna know how pissed people at HBO are lol
English
@Insert66438804 @coopercooperco I'm not making a statement on the quality of season 2 but all anyone heard in the lead-up to season 2 was its all battles and dragons.
English
@coopercooperco I think tides will shift dramatically as people watch and enjoy the show (especially since it’s gonna be chock full of battles and dragons) and then 3 months after or so when the audience has moved on the ppl who spend all day posting about how Ryan Condal is trying to kill GRRM
English
@JimBobJohnson34 @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB In the future I would hope either presidents will conduct themselves differently or Josh will. To be this deferential to uninformed bad actors only normalizes them and their misdeeds. All involved should be trying to reach a moral, or if nothing else, fact-based baseline.
English
@WeightBullyFan @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB Maybe. I think that’s a fair criticism.
Personally, I believe in JP’s track record & I believe that he would interview a future presidential guest similarly. I’m happy to be proven wrong.
But characterising that behaviour as objective moral failing, to me, is ridiculous.
English
@JimBobJohnson34 @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB I guess my question to Josh would be, why interview someone like Trump at all if none of his answers, no matter how ill-informed, will recieve push-back? That doesnt seem like someone who has college football's stewardship at heart. It just seems like someone who wants publicity.
English
@WeightBullyFan @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB Is it telling?
Please correct me if I’m mischaracterising you.
It seems as though you believe that Josh has displayed a grievous moral failure because he was courteous to the president and didn’t grill him as you think he deserves?
English
@JimBobJohnson34 @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB To answer your q, does doing none of this make him pro-Trump? No, like I said before its hard to know what Josh thinks. But it's telling of the kind of person Josh is. The most poweful and influential person is sitting across from him and he just wants to smile and shake his hand
English
@JimBobJohnson34 @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB Doing any of the things I questioned would have required making the president uncomfortable, which is what a good interview is supposed to do to its subject. Now Pate either doesnt know how to interview someone, or the purpose of this exchange was not an interview but publicity.
English
@JimBobJohnson34 @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB Is Josh Pate interviewing him? Does he know how to interview someone? Is Josh willing to ask the presidents questions that will make him uncomfortable? Will he follow up if that happens?
English
@WeightBullyFan @uluvmids @gmwvheel @JoshPateCFB I agree that there are behaviours that should not be tolerated. But I don’t think people are wrong for having conversations or even for platforming those people.
And the fact that Trump is a sitting president matters. Plenty of people you think are virtuous would interview him.
