Lmao @ hero's status.

The man did his best ,but he was naive to the double dealings of the too many criminals around him.I personally think he had good intentions for the people but again in the corridors of power you've got all kinds of people and if you're not a seasoned politician and ready to do shiit you'll have problems.

Jonathan is still my hero any day and any time.

Hero for what, cluelessness?

Set aside sentiments, can you tell me one good quality of Jonathan?

If they are relatively safe, why always in the news for violence?

How many times do you hear news of violence? Even at that, it's nothing compared to the violence in America.

I can't even believe anyone is comparing the two.

babyosisi:


I have lived in the UK and now live in America
You need to see how scared I was moving to America till I got here
I can speak on the two places
Peckham has an ugly reputation,heavily black / immigrant/ low income area/ gang ridden places
Most Nigerians in the USA don't live in such places with project / government houses with a majority of people collecting govt benefits
Big difference between Nigerians in London and those in the USA

And certainly their kids will not be riding bicycles at night in bad neighborhoods because they don't live anywheres near the places you describe
The man was killed at a spot where another Nigerian kid was killed
Why would any reasonable fellow be there at night?

Yeah it has a bad reputation based on a lie, peddled a misconception being peddled around. Peckham is no worse than you typical American ghetto, not even close.

Second, Most Nigerians in the Uk don't live in the projects, that's another lie as a matter of fact, I personally don't know any Nigerian who lives in the project, I for example has never lived in the projects nor lived close to the projects..

I know many Nigerians do live in poor neighbourhoods and live on benefits (Nigerians will always find a way to abuse any privilege) but that's not the case for most Nigerians. First austerity measures are cutting the benefits now, they're also so small you can barely survive on them, It's designed that way to make people work. Only person of zero ambition can be contented with benefits.

Another point to note is that the UK is a small country, small enough to fit into Texas so you have to put things into proper perspective. I haven't lived in the US but I've visited thrice, twice as a kid, once as an adult and I can tell you for sure that the only things I like about America are your wide roads and the size/cheapness of your foods. Even American made cars are kind of low standard, they don't have the exquisite touch of European cars.

So stop comparing a densely populated country like the UK to a sparse country with wooden houses which get blow apart by typhoons or hurricanes. So of course Nigerians in the US don't have to live in the projects when they could just take their family zany go live in a wooden house in the middle of no where.

For a country the size of the UK, it punches well above its weight. Believe this or not, the worth of the house I live in London, is enough to buy a mansion in a prime location in America.

Truckpusher:


Lmao .....I can bet my black asss that after two years we would be singing his praises.

Well, business is as good as usual ,besides I wasn't benefiting anything from Jona.

I'm a faithful supporter ,to the very end.

Not possible!! It can't get any worse than Jonathan.

Don't worry, in due course, the full extent of Jonathan's sins would be laid bare for all to see, maybe then you guys would take off the hero status you've bestowed on him.

babyosisi:


And anyone riding a bike through the ghettos there at 10.30 pm is asking for bullet wounds
That was my point
A chicken marked for roasting,doesn't sprinkle kerosene on themselves and be wandering near open fires
If you love riding bikes at night,move to a safer place

Nah! You're wrong again.

There are no America-type ghettos in the UK, these are relatively safe neighbourhoods where you can ride your bike or walk around at anytime with no disturbance whatsoever.

Those who become casualties like this young man are mostly the young ones who get themselves caught up in some nasty stuff. Though there are occasional crimes here and there, but nothing on the scale of America, not even close.

This isn't America where there are more guns than people, where any lunatic can walk into a store and purchase an automatic rifle like a pair of sneakers & then walk into somewhere and waste people with it.

The UK had zero tolerance for crime, just the mere info that you possess a gun, will get the authorities descending on you so fast, you'd actually think you're Bin Laden.

babyosisi:


Why will anyone be riding a bicycle through anywhere let alone a bad neighborhood by 10.30 pm
Where was he heading to?
Could also be a gangster himself
Many Nigerians in England are better off moving back to Nigeria than rearing kids in those dangerous ghettos all in the name of living abroad

Are you kidding me? Nah! You having a laugh ain't you?

Are there any ghettos worse than the ones in Detroit, New Orleans, Baltimore, Chicago, New York.. Where guns, drugs are rife, and you could actually get shot 8 times in the back by a policeman or hit by stray bullet from a drive-by?

Nah you're definitely having a laugh.

The worse neighbourhoods in the UK, record lower crime stats than the the most peaceful neighbourhoods in America.

Truckpusher:
Honestly, when I wrote those stuff I had both of you in mind and bang! Shy came calling with all he's got .

Wasssap?

Lol Peckham is his domain (or at least used to be) of course he'd come calling, he got love for his town.

Honestly though, I don't see why Peckham has such a bad rep among Nigerians, the place is home to many brilliant black minds, it's one of the most multi-cultural places in London, and the chics out there are stunning the houses there are not even cheap compared to some other boroughs in London.

Though in some parts of Peckham, you might actually think you're on a street in Lagos but generally, the places is very lively and fun, far from the misconception that's being spread around. I enjoy going down there whenever I get the chance.

There far dangerous places in London than Peckham, I can tell you that.

I'm good!! How business going now your man Jonadaf*t is going?

Compare him to this otueke fisherman

Truckpusher:
C'mon! guys I never dissed London neither have I dissed Peckham....................I have folks out there.I only dissed London when we are on our usual rants.

Of course I know you're trolling, what fun would NL be without occasional rants.

DBestDoc:


Well, i didnt see the part where he said his friend's surgery was on his chest. Maybe i'm missing something. He probably edited his OP though!

To your question, no....not my limbs. The surgery was on my boobs, i was awake all through and conscious enough to help out if my help was needed. Ofcourse there was a sort of interaction in the process and i also learnt one or 2 things from the guy 'cause
he is a specialist in that area. This was in a Chinese teaching hospital though!

My point is, if the surgery is less bloody and uncomplicated, the patient can be kept awake all through.

Cool

SirShymexx:


Lol. For a guy as big as he's, you'd expect better and not someone who has to get piggybacked by females to throw shots, based on hearsay. That's like throwing stones and hiding ya hands. Real men/bosses don't do that, ask Dame Dash.

I don't even know what the noise is about. How many people get killed in London in a year, despite all the noise? It's far lesser than the number of folks killed in places like Chicago, Philly, Detroit, New Orleans et al in a day when it gets a bit lukewarm. And you can't even compare it to Nigeria where folks are killed like rats everyday in their hundreds. Yet folks are making a mountain out of molehill about a place that has produced loads of super-successful black folks - with more upper echelon success rate than any other borough in the UK (apart from Lambeth).

Anyway, I think it should be a road deal gone wrong based on how he was killed. I doubt it's gang related cos everyone in Peckham gets along, and they don't have post-code wars with other places (that stopped in 2009) like other parts of London.

Hahaha don't mind Truckpusher, he's trolling.. He never passes on the opportunity to talk smack about Peckham or London without proper knowledge of the reality... I've never known him to be puss*y-whipped or a woman-pleaser, but these days he's being too cozy with NL chics, he doesn't wanna hurt their feelings.. You can't blame a man for chasing pus*sy, that's one thing which has the ability to turn a man into a sissy.

Dame Dash is a crazy, did you see his interview with the breakfast club? He subdued all of them, even Charlemagne was cool as a puppy... He took over the show & even used it as a platform to advertise his daughter's range of cookies loool Ebro wouldn't have been subdued like that.

Thats sad!! A 20 year old who should be in Uni, killed just like that. Street deals gone wrong seems to be the main issue these days.. There was a similar incident last year in Edmonton, a 22 year old Nigerian dude was stabbed. They just revealed that his hit was ordered from prison, for robbing a drug dealer.

DBestDoc:


I thought you knew better oo. May be you should start by defining what SURGERY is.
From the OP, the region of the body where the surgery was carried out wasn't specified. From your definition, cardiothoraciic surgery is the only kind that qualifies as surgey to you.

Any part of the body can be operated on, it is invasive if an incision is made and non-invasive when other procedures that require minimal cut are employed. For all we know, it could be a not so bloody and uncomplicated procedure that was performed on the OP's friend.

Personally, i've had a procedure performed on me, i was awake all through chatting with the surgeons and asking questions. Lidocaine was used as the Anaesthesia, it was injected around that region and i even had to call their attention when it started wearing off so more dose was given and i left right after the whole ish...

I decided to use my personal experience as an example and not some other patient's.....its very possible for a patient undergoing surgery to help out in the process if its not gona disrupt the procedure....

What about my comment didn't you understand or didn't you read the topic? Because you're basically repeating the same thing I said.

The OP said his friend was being operated on the chest (or isn't it what he said? in that case, where was he being operated on) and thè surgeon asked him to hold the light to his chest.

I said the only way he stays awake is if the operation on his chest is superficial or non-invasive. I know local anaesthetic can be applied to the area that's being operated (that's common knowledge) this comminuted used at the dentist. However local anaesthesia is not applicable in all cases, if I may ask, what part of your body was operated on? I bet it's your limb.

Allow me to counter your experience with mine, in 2012 I had a brain surgery at one of the best hospitals in the UK, and one of the top neurology hospitals in the world... (Kings College Hospital to be precise). I was given general anaesthetic, it knocked me out in seconds, I was only told to count down from 10... That's the last thing I recall till I awoke hours later.

My point is; no way a quack hospital without steady electricity can keep a patient awake while performing a chest operation. Performing an operation with torch light while sweat drips off the surgeon's face? Holy shi*t! That's the lowest thing I've ever heard, if that's true, then that hospital is a death trap

SirShymexx:


Alternate what? Are you feeling dizzy? When did I start using alt female handles? You think I have got time for stupidity and biitch made nonsense?

Nah, you were throwing shots and only two people are proper Peckham yutes on here. 50calibre, ya nemesis, isn't from Peckham. I rep Peckham till the death of me. Though I haven't lived there continuously since I was 17 and left for Uni, that is home and the place that raised me. I learned everything I know there and family, and friends still live there and/or around the same axis.

So when you throw shots at the place, you are talking to me. And stop following biitches everywhere to throw subliminals - it makes you look like a biitch.

Lolz Truckpusher on the prowl again, bring with him chaos & brouhaha anywhere he goes @Truckpusher... Aren't you tired of dissing London, Peckham in particular?

@Topic what did the young man do? Why was he killed? Surely it wasn't just some random attack..

They keep telling these youngins to stay out if trouble but they don't listen and yet they won't fortify themselves. When the chips are down, they're always the ones to fall.

RIP to the young man anyway. There's no measure of the pain of losing a 20 year old who's just at the edge of being a man.

babeface3:
lol, Ever heard of administering anesthesia on only the part of the body that needs surgery . Don't say this to someone that knows you

Shut up!! Can you and all the other ignoramuses on this thread shut the fuc*k up!! I get tired of seeing simpletons on this forum propagate ignorance.

Except it was just a superficial or non-invasive surgery on the chest, it is safe to assume that it was a heart or lung surgery. In that case, it is a major procedure which requires the patient be generally anaesthetised and intubated.

However, It is possible to perform major surgeries while the patient retains some level of consciousness. Typically, the patient will have to be heavily sedated to a point where they're just on the edge of consciousness... They can respond to basic commands, but nothing on the scale of holding a torch light into one's own chest while surgery is performed (are you insane?)

This is complex procedure which requires a higher degree of sophistication, one a hospital which can't provide steady electricity, most certainly don't have.

Hey bro, Lucas Matthysse? And Garcia barely got by Matthysse. Matthysse ruined Garcia in my opinion, he's been lackluster since the Matthysse fight. I think if Garcia moves up to 147, he gets destroyed by the likes of Maidana,Thurman, Brook, Floyd, Manny, Juan Manuel Marquez, etc .

Word!!

Nihilist:


Nah I'm watching it at Asper's Casino which is 10 minutes away from my yard.

Danny Garcia 'Next big thing?' You're having a laugh mate. Danny Garcia IS a big thing already! 30 fights undefeated...currently defending world champion holding WBC and WBA light welterweight belts since 2012.

Did you not see his bout with Amir Khan where he knocked him out with a right hook and left him spazzing like an epileptic?

Youtube it.

Danny ain't no next big thing. He arrived a long time ago. If anything, punters are concerned that he may be slipping. His fight against lamont Peterson was far from convincing

That's dop*e!! The atmosphere would be electric.. Unfortunately, there are no Casinos around my area, and since the fight time in the UK is past midnight, it's highly unlikely any pubs would be open either so except any of my friends got plans, I'd be firmly rooted to the front of my TV

Apart from Amir Khan (who's been inconsistent throughout his career) & Zab Judah, Danny Garcia is yet to face any notable opponent so I'd advice caution here. Same thing happened with Canelo Alvarez till he met Mayweather. I'd wait till Garcia defends his title against all the top ranked contenders first before rating him hence I still consider him a bright prospect.

Epaul:
I'd taken the pain to read every letter of 50calibre and nihilist analysis. Deft, those analysis. I can't say for their veritability. But they both seemed to have in their possession a considerable amount of knowlegde about the sport. My interest really is piqued and i'm stirred up to become a fan. I rarely follow the sports. 'cause i do not only seethe the sight of 'torture' in a manner of speaking but also got phobia for the gory. But it seems dudes have got me taking quite a fancy to it. So, come may 2nd i'm going to sit before 'supersports', harden my heart to scrap and watch the fight.
If i pass out while watching the fight, get nihilist and 50caliber behind bars!

Flowing from their analysis, i was able to infer pacquiao might stage an upset. And so i roundly think. And since, I have a thing for the under-dog, my money is on pacquiao.

Hahahaha come on the torture is nothing compared to MMA, you've got to admire the sweet art of pugilism, the only sport which allows a young boy from the slum forge his path to greatness using just his fists..

Boxing is my second favourite sport after football (soccer), intelligence & strategy play a very key part in both of them.

montelik:
If this fight had happened when it was first wanted in 08 & 09 or even 3 years ago, I would have put all my money on Pacman. But by all measures you have to make Mayweather the favorite here. This fight will be decided by the judges, simply because Mayweather is too perfect a defensive fighter too ever get knocked out and too smart too get into the ring with anyone who still carries a seriously genuine threat to knock him out. Mayweather can't lose at Vegas with his style, the judges will always go his way, he has perfected the art of winning the judges scorecard and he will never let himself get knocked out. You want to beat Floyd, you have to be able to do it on points. Forget the idea of knocking him out, or scoring knockdowns at least until you can first prove a big threat to him by leading the scorecard.

The reason why some boxing fans and a lot of insiders were actually confident of Pacman's ability to defeat Mayweather when this fight was first proposed, was because Pacman was the only boxer with the style (southpaw), heart, energy/workrate and most importantly discipline, to take Floyd out of his comfort zone by actually making him worry about losing on a Vegas scorecard, plus the added bonus that he had the ability to knock him down and even knock him out, if Floyd tried to switch from his base approach.

But enough time has passed now and incidents taken place, to have diminished a lot of what would have made Pacman a nightmare opponent for Floyd. Meanwhile time has been a lot kinder to Mayweather and his own strengths and weaknesses.

Really? Mayweather's defences are not as impregnable as they used to be, he got hit many times in his last two fights against Maidana.. Besides he's never faced anyone the calibre of Pacquiao so his defences haven't really been tested.

Granted that Pacquiao was at a low point between 2011/2012, he came back strong in his last three fights, putting up impressive performances against Brandon Rios & Timothy Bradley (who'd previously defeated him) maybe the defeats he suffered was a good thing, that was his epiphany because he found himself afterwards, became a committed Christian, not like it has anything to do with this, but it's given him a greater sense of purpose.

Maybe it will go down to the scorecards, maybe not! But it's going to be one hell of a fight, Mayweather's defences alone ain't going to cut it for him, he's going to be forced to come out and fight.

Nihilist:


Me wey don bet on Floyd tay tay

I'm even watching the fight at a Casino in my town.

Yes my man Deontay is the one! he's also a bit unpolished....but the man carries mortuary and obituary in each hand. The closest fighter to him in terms of relative punch power is Danny Garcia...but Danny looks like he's in danger of falling off in that Welterweight category these days.

You go loss that money believe me.

Pacman is the man, I'm betting on him. The Pacquiao we are going to see that night will be on fire... Watchout.

Besides have you bought a box office ticket, Sky will be the only one showing the fight in the UK. Normally I'd just go online for free streaming but I don't want excuses this time.

Danny Garcia is a future prospect, he's the next big thing.

Nihilist:


Don't get it wrong...Fury will most likely lose to Wladimir Klistchko.

Wladimir has ruled the heavyweight division for a decade. He has had the technique, the power, and the mobility to trounce all 18 of the contenders who have come his way since.

However, Dr Steelhammer is an outside fighter. He hides behind his (very powerful) jab, and relies mostly on his considerable reach and his 1-2s and 1-1-2s...and like Lennox Lewis before him, He absolutely hates the inside, and when a fighter takes it inside, Wladimir clinches very quick and very early. He's a big dude, very tall and heavy with a huge reach. When he clinches and leans on his opponents, he can suck the fight out of them. He even got a points deduction last night for his incessant clinching.

In this regard, I suspect Tyson has a chance if he goes at Wladimir in his usual heavy handed all-out approach, he might be able to hurt Wladimir on the inside, and in the pocket. Tyson is taller(6'9 ) and just as wide as Wladimir, so Klistcko should not be able to bully him with his size as he does to other opponents.

The problem is that recently, Tyson has been working on his fundamentals and is now fighting in a relatively more polished,and somewhat refined manner. If he tries to Out-box Wladimir he will be destroyed in minutes, as Wladmir is a master of the fundamentals. If he bumrushes Klistchko though....

Anyway, back to the Floyd v Pacman matchup....It's still Money team all day. No doubt if Pac gets Floyd in the corner, he can do some damage. But hey, they didn't call Floyd 'Pretty' for nothing...

Loool tyson won't just lose the fight, he'd be pummelled comprehensively and then knocked out. He's blabbed and blasphemed his way to this point, after eating those Klitschko jabs, he will regain his senses. Except he's no more the Tyson Fury I know as you said, I haven't seen him fight in a while so maybe he's transformed into a proper boxer. I actually noticed some improvements when he fough Chisora.

Wladimir dominated this long due to the lack of worthy contenders, he's been able to hone his skills with mediocre fighters.... the guy is big, strong but also robotic and has a proven glass chin. He came at the wrong time when Americans had become too lazy to produce a real heavyweight fighter, I hope to see him lose before retiring, I'm pinning my hopes on Deontay Wilder.

If you're that sure of Floyd then put your money where your mouth is, wager on him. after all he's the bookies favourite.

Nihilist:


Floyd hasn't really been known for power, so the 'weak hands' comment is a moot point.

Money is a boxer not a brawler. He plays the points game not the KO game.

I heard about the alleged Zab Judah KO in training, which I why I mentioned the fact that he had actually beaten him in the ring.

Even though Money's manager and Zab himself have come out to deny it, I accept its a possibility. Money has to train hard against the best South Paw he can find, and pac man's left hand is going to be a problem...so it's better he gets acclimatised to that now.

As for Fury, my brother I beg you don't knock his hustle.

Dude has been british, European, and WBO world champ at only 25. And he has the skill to switch it up too...his last fight against Del Boy Chisora, he switched up to South paw and destroyed that nigga.


That's why Wladimir announced today that Fury is his next mandatory.

Tyson is a loud mouthed mofo, but the boy can fight for real

Which is why I find him boring to watch. I wanna see folks go into the ring with intent to do some serious damage not trying to win on point (oh how I miss the days of Mike Tyson)... that's what make an entertaining fight and this is why Manny would have to KO him.

Floyd cannot hurt Pacquiao, that's a given so the question is; will he be able to keep his not-well tested chin away from manny's flurry of punches?

Tyson Fury cannot fight shi*t!! He's a fraud, and the fact he's gotten this far, is testament to how weak heavyweight boxing has become. The guy is devoid of style or technique, zero footwork, he's tall and awkward, he once mistakenly punched himself in the face.... C'mon this guy is a fuc*king joke compared to previous British champions, someone like Lewis or Haye could have had him for breakfast.

Beating washed up fighters like Derek Chisora and Audley Harrison don't make him a good boxer. I saw the Chisora fight, and I must say it seemed as if Chisora was drunk before entering into the ring. It was a docile version of Chisora that showed up that night, not the same Chisora who face Vitali.

The only thing working for him is his height and size which obviously give him the power. Most of his opponents are hardly tall enough to connect with his chin. Klitschko however is a different story, they're almost the same height so that would count for nothing..it will be down to skill and endurance.

The beating will be so bad, you're going to say I told you so.

How many wives did this dude marry. He has a pretty mixed race daughter from a Spanish woman.

How the hell did he marry a lesbian naija chic? he also had a fa*ggot brother who committed suicide.. what a weird family.

This androgenic looking chic thinks she's Queen of sheeba, for fuc*k sake she's 33 years old and 6 ft 3... for a woman, thats a proper giant height, she's as tall as that freak lady from Game of Thrones. Shi*t!!!

I'm not even that tall, I'm 6 ft 1/2 without shoes, but fairly buff so I'd say I'm hardly intimidated by a woman's height but I just don't like the idea of dating a taller chic, it looks weird. I don't want to be walking around with some female Lebron James.

This chic can put African men on blast all she wants but the truth is that most guys won't go anywhere near a chic that tall, it's unfortunate that at 33 she's yet to figure that out, she's proud to say she wears heels, making her anywhere near 6 ft 6 damn!!!!

The earlier this deluded chic drops her lofty standards, the better for her. She should temper that height and age with a meek attitude

Nihilist:


Floyd is in better shape. His defensive game is top notch and his careful selection of fights and unbeaten record reflect a man who avoids taking the hard knocks.

Pac beat marquez controversially and then got ko'd in their next fight. He's just a quicker, stronger, and faster Arturo Gatti.

I trust Floyd in taking it to the outside and avoiding those hooks and uppers...and he has experience from the Zab Judah fight(at least that I remember) in beating south paws

Freddie Roach has come out to say that even though Floyd is aging and his legs clearly slowing, he believes he can still evade pacman on the canvass...and that's his own trainer.

AJ is just a muscular phool. His last fight was a disaster....even though he won by TKO. Man hit the ring looking like a GI Joe and I was wondering what he wants to do with all that muscle. By the time he hits the real pro heavyweights, na that time en go know say no be by 'muzzle'

Tyson fury has his eyes set on Wladimir at age 25 and his belt. AJ is 22/23 and still fighting journey men while looking like a mixed race terry crews.

Of course Mayweather avoids taking the hard knocks, that's why I'm not a big fan of his, this is exactly why boxing is declining. A true champion doesn't select fights, but fights anyone put in front of him.

How do you know Mayweather is in better shape? Rumour has it that he was KOed in training by Zab Judah (a much slower southpaw) he's hands are weak so he's chopping wood as part of his regimen, his muscles take longer to recover hence he has to resort to using cryogenic saunas to shorten his recovery time.... How the hell is he in better shape than Pacquiao?

PAC is in prime condition, his foot work is great, his punch combinations and hand speed is impeccable, it's like he got better in his last 3 fights especially against Brandon Rios.

I said the same thing about Anthony Joshua, you don't need that much muscle in boxing, it slows you down, and even makes you tire quick. He should ask Frank Bruno

Hahahaha Tyson Fury is a joke, an embarrassment to the profession. How the hell did that clown get this far? He's just a big, tall, sloppy loud mouth. Wladimir Klitschko will beat the living daylight out of him.

Nihilist:


I got knocked out during an amateur fight.

3 rounds, only 150 pounds for the winner.

Woke up concussed and realised that I was risking my life for nothing

Hahahaha that's where the real boxers are separated from the pseudo ones. Lots of people join a boxing gym with hopes of one say boxing professionally but after that first knockout, many take flight. Those who stay, are the ones with the heart.

I once took part in a routine boxing training session and I found it to be the most gruelling of all the sports I can think of.

About the fight, Manny is old and a politician and a basketballer.

Floyd is older.

Floyd can smell victory cos like like Anthony Joshua, he picks fights he can never lose.

Hahaha Anthony Joshua is just starting his pro career so of course they only select easy opponents for him so he can develop and stack wins under his belt. Soon enough he'd have to face a worthy opponent, only then will he truly be tested. Floyd accepted this fight because he couldn't run anymore, Pacquiao camp had accepted all his conditions and he knew he had to face Pacquiao before retiring if he's to secure his legacy.

Pac lost to Marquez and then got beat by Tim Bradley. Granted Pac came back strong in the rubber, but it already obvious that we're looking at a great in decline

Ok!! We'd see about that. You must remember unbeaten records are not what makes great champions but the heart and ability to bounce after defeats. Even Muhammad Ali lost a few fights in his career.

Plus Kennny Bayless is the ref...That's like having two floyds in the ring.

Perhaps! However this isn't the first time he'd be refereeing a Pacquiao fight besides there's only so much he can do, he's not going to stop those hooks and jabs from landing.

Nihilist:
I'm a huge pac fan and tried to model my ring movement on him back when I used to train.

Even bought the same hogs as Manny. But in this matchup I'm voting by skin..

The Money Team all day

Looool really? The Money Team got tired of running scared, they're going down on May 2nd.

You should return to training, why did you stop?

Guys please desist from commenting if you're just going to make sentimental statements/predictions, that's not the aim of this thread.

I created this thread for the boxing heads on this forum, people with good knowledge of the sweet science who can back up their statements with solid logic and analysis.

I'd much rather have two folks with good knowledge of the sport, than multitude of novices spamming my thread.

Thanks

A week from today, the eyes of the world will be on the MGN Grand in Las Vegas as unarguably the most anticipated fight of this Century since Tyson V Lewis finally comes to fruition. This is set to be the richest fight in boxing history, generating a whooping $300 million but much like Tyson-Lewis, this is a long over-due fight 5/6 years in the making. So the pertinent questions here are; will it live up to its hype? And what are we to expect come May 2nd.

Both fighters are very different in style, Floyd is a defensive counter-puncher who's perfected the art of hitting without getting hit, while Pacquiao is a tenacious power puncher & more of risk taker who throws himself right into the mix. However the one thing both fighters have in common is speed.

Floyd Mayweather steps into the ring with a slight height & reach advantage as well as an unbeaten record (which may also be a burden) while Pacquiao will for once relish the underdog status, thus lifting the weight of expectations off his shoulders.

In my opinion, this fight could go either way, it's going to come down to which fighter shows up in better shape physically, psychologically and emotionally coupled with how well each fighter is able to deploy the most effective weapon in his arsenal. For Floyd, his elusiveness and for Pacquiao, his power.

Most pugilist fans like myself hope for an explosive fight ending in a knockout and it's up to Pacquiao the more sensational fighter to make that happen. If Floyd is able to stop Pacquiao from getting inside and unleashing his vicious combinations, then we are in for a boring 12 rounds of Mayweather over-cautiousness, with the scorecards deciding the winner and we all know Pacquiao will never win a decision over Mayweather in Vegas.

My heart is with Pacquiao as I always root for the underdog but my head tells me Mayweather. I'm contemplating wagering on Pacquiao but how do you wager against a man who's never lost? Which ever way it goes, only one man will make the transition from Champion to Legend.

I created this thread so that fight fans on this forum (I hope they're still here) can have their say. Lets hear your per-fight analysis and predictions, are we going to witness an upset? If you had to, on whom are you going to wager & why?

Seun & Mods please be kind enough to push this thread front page.

Nigeria is only behind South Africa which has around 6 million people living with HIV.

How could anyone possibly find this write up long and boring, are Nigerians this lazy? If this was an eroti*c fiction or something along those lines, these lazy folks would happily read it's entire length and ask for more.

After the first few lines, I knew I had to continue reading, I found it very insightful and even entertaining. A lesson or two can be learnt from her experience.

The intellectual presence on this forum is in constant decline, take a look at the airheads on the front page complaining about how lazy they're to read. Seun better come up with a solution to this problem, else this forum will soon become a playground for little kids and idio*ts.

Holy shi*t this is a freak show!! Is this the best IMO state has got to offer? Most of these contestants look dreadful
