Friday Night Fights thread for June 4th

Foreman is an interesting character, the fighting rabbi.

seemingly can't have 2 nicer fighters in a main event than the two, tomorrow night.

Zab Judahs penis region might disagree wtih that

I hope Cotto mauls Foreman. That co-main event was a one sided assraping.

i just dont know waht to make of the fight, Foremans a boring boxer with a big size advantage, COttos busted up and not a mover

this could be a bad night for Miguel

Jhonson looks much bigger/stronger and more talented than Ramos, I don't know what's taking him so long to KO Ramos.

Teddy who is a broken record- but is right this week. Johnson likes to think, set up shots, control the ring. He takes his time and doesn't mind picking this guy apart round after round.

Teddy with the analogies. Klits use height very well. They make opponents take risks. Opponents have to risk and they have to go through a bad neighborhood and they maybe don't get to the good neighborhood. I missed the rest. It was classic Teddy Atlas.

You have what amounts to a boring fight. Jhonson a vastly superior boxer is facing a much smaller (and inferior) fighter who took the fight on short notice. And Jhonson doesn't have the mentality to really push things. so we get round after round of dominance, but nothing that would make you jump up out of your chair.

Jhonson needs a better fighter who is a puncher to chase him around the ring.

Considering the guy he's fighting, Jhonson seems overly cautious, I don't get why.

Teddy Atlas - FNF - June 4, 2010.

Ramos had no chance of winning this fight. Jhonson has a future in boxing, this was childs play for him.

George Foreman is the FNF Guest host next week, we'll have to see what, Big George has to say.

What did you guys think about that Jhonson stoppage? Was it too early?

No OUSOONER, Ramos had no chance of winning, and had lost just about every round, there was no point in letting it go on, live to fight another day.

So I didn't miss much after tiredness kicked my tail and I went to bed. Jhonson was not only winning every round, he was winning every second of every round against a smaller fighter with no power to change the fight.

You didn't miss anything, the ref finally just stopped the fight, all Ramos was doing was blocking punches with his head, I don't think he won a round.

This wasn't a bad thread Capt, we'll do it again next week, Tessitore will be back and Big George will be the guest host.

I was just wondering what you more knowledgeable fans thought about it. I don't remember seeing him get knocked down at all. He took some big shots toward the end but he didn't seem hurt or anything to me. He was getting blasted though. I was really just curious to what you guys thought.

Just caught the fights. Solomon impressed me. Fights like that are great. Get 2 prospects and see which one is the real deal. I hope to see him back on FNF soon.

Why does Teddy think that every single fighter should fight the same way?

Because Teddy is full of bullshit?
