@CauseILoveTruth Saying a kickboxing "can't fight" is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Boxing elitist are so far up their own asses. If anything, it's the boxer that can't "fight"
Elie Seckbach is a pathetic cochroach of a man to boot.

@BCTheTruthl IMO Pride falling is the worst thing that has ever happened to the sport.
English
Got some cool fights from this, but it was ultimately terrible for the sport of MMA.

May25.2007 The PRIDE FC acquisition by Zuffa officially closes. This marked the end of one of the greatest MMA promotions of all time.

@Boxing_Tribune In other words, the show won't be full of boxing elitist cope and looking down at other combat athletes.
English
If you enjoy boxing analysis from someone who has no boxing knowledge and no regard for the sport at all, this is the show for you!

@WhoKnows_85 @Sourceofboxing If Usyk had done that, you would have called it “veteran savvy”
English
@Sourceofboxing You got an extra 20 seconds because of your mouthpiece bullshit, you deserve it for cheating. 😂

🚨 Rico Verhoeven’s coach Peter Fury revealed that he was on the same plane as the referee after the fight, and the ref admitted that he didn’t hear the bell before stopping it 🗣️
“I said, ‘You’ve made a mistake…’
And he said to me, which is really important, ‘Peter, I didn’t hear the bell.’”

@thedarnjohnson @SS_strength And they are doping. The majority of athletes who have run 100m in under 10 seconds have been done for doping. And let’s not even start with the cyclists…
English
@SS_strength The midwit take is that Olympians are all doping. The reality is that the Olympians are the top 0.0000001% of the world, these guys are a few orders of magnitude behind that.
Guys running a 10.8 in the 100 meter. No amount of dope is gonna get you down to 9.58.
English
Olympians when athletes able to take every PED under the sun can't break their records
English
@close_nutrition Or the existing records were made by doped athletes in their athletic primes
English
So the Enhanced Games are over & remarkably unremarkable. 1 world record, helped by banned suits. Meanwhile most performances barely touched existing marks.
What does this tell us? Have we overestimated the impact of PED or were these not truly world class athletes to begin with?

Here’s former boxing champion Ray Mercer sleeping UFC Champion Tim Sylvia in the octagon in a stunning NINE seconds.

@YomiOyesola "arrogantly biased" - irony is not your strong suit.
It's a shame that boxing elitists can't even speak about what happened with any honesty.
English
People are arrogantly biased. Rico was losing that fight and barely returning the shots towards the end of the 11th round. He performed extremely well against Usyk of course, but there’s no way he was going to beat that man at the championship rounds.
John Jackson@hissgoescobra
It seems that half the Internet didn’t even watch the fight. Here’s the tape where Usyk’s opponent got knocked down, got back up, wobbly, lost, and then immediately started getting pummeled again, unable to defend himself. The knockdown punch was LOUD. Right call.
English
@JohnSandwich2 The cope is something else.
"Fury didn't take it seriously", "Usyk is washed", "It's because they're haevyweight"
Maybe just learn to respect other combat athletes a little bit more.
English
This weak ass heavyweight division isn’t “boxing”… throw an MMA fighter in there with Inoue, Tank, Crawford and see what’ll happen

🚨BREAKING🚨 Benjamin Netanyahu WILL attend the UFC White House card on June 14th which is the same day as President Trump's birthday He says that he will be cageside & expressed a personal interest in watching Alex Pereira going out cold by Ciryl Gane (Per: @arielhelwani)
English
@tsjules007 Nobody who says this is speaking honestly. You 100% would not be saying that if the roles were reversed and Usyk had been stopped like that.
English
@MonteroOnBoxing Boxing elitists coping hard today. Pretty much everyone likes and respects Usyk. People just want to see a fair fight.
English
Man, some of you REALLY want to see Usyk lose. A lot of anger and hate being spread today.
English
🚨JUST IN: 35% of Americans believe yesterday’s shooting was staged by Donald Trump.

@brian_rachui @messedupfoods In the immortal words of George Best: "I spent all my money on booze, women and fast cars - the rest I squandered".
English
@messedupfoods Quit your bitching!! You should have spent the $$ on your kid and not the 🍺!!
English
@Boxing_Tribune The cope is really pathetic from the boxing elitists. Usyk needed a corrupt stoppage (with corrupt judges on standby) to get a win over a 1-0 boxer.
Novice Ngannou arguably beat Fury.
Maybe boxing elitists should start respecting other combat sports a bit more.
English
I'm still reeling by how many people actually thought that an Olympic champ and 2-division unified champ suddenly couldn't "figure out" a lump of a fighter leaning in and dangling his chin to be hit through 10 rounds...Maybe Usyk didn't do enough sit-ups in training!
English
@TheLatinSnake_ Boxing people need to respect other combat sports a bit more instead instead of their constant elitist bullshit.
Ngannou arguably beat Fury as a novice and they needed a corrupt ref (and corrupt judges on standby) to make sure Rico couldn't win.
English
The worst part of #UsykRico fight is that now more MMA and Kickboxers will now really & sincerely continue to believe they can beat a world champion in boxing. Truth is, they may be able to compete, but not BEAT a motivated professional boxer.
English
@ThisIsNotDSP I feel like you're trying really hard to make a point but failing miserably.
English
I'm glad no boxing champion, male or female, has ever gone to the UFC and won a fight, let alone ten in a row, and definitely never embarrassed a dominant UFC champion who people expected to rinse them, and if they did, they definitely didn't win a title.
Never happened.
English
Bad stoppage, but Usyk would’ve got him in the 12th round.
English
Wondering if people realize that Usyk was carrying this guy...
