Surely prior evidence of his chin being suspect in the extreme is of great relivence to this subject? In fact, part of the reason I suspected Greenberg would be sparked out - if not Friday but sooner rather than later - was because of knowledge of him getting murdered by Haye, Holden, and beat up by Mark Krence in the gyms.funso banjo baby wrote:Ant Evans wrote:Anyone want to doubt my earlier posts about Haye, Sprott (twice), Holden etc knocking Greenberg out in sparring after this?
Boswell was the first half decent (ok, one-sixth decent) heavyweight Greenberg has fought in seven long years and, as sure as night following day, he gets exposed like a pervert in a raincoat. As a fellow former SecondsOut writer - who also had to deal with Robert Waterman's BS about 'first billion dollar heavyweight' - texted me last night "Four years too late to put him in with someone who could cup a fist".
Roman had talent, he handled Michael Sprott etc in sparring when he was a teenager. But that was eight long years ago. That early rep as a young heavyweight who could do something, coupled by the fact he's a Jew (and rich businessmen from Jewish communities like to support their own) enabled him to earn a nice living for the last 8 years but the ride is over. He never got in shape, never tried to improve and from what I can tell, never really listened to anyone or anything that didn't sound like full-on cheerleading.
That SecondsOut chose to write up this calamity in less than 300 words after becoming exact cheerleaders for Greenberg says all you need to know about the quality of that site nowadays.
anyone could have seen a boswell KO.... a lot did
as for sparring rumours? they should be kept to an OT section......they are worse than the Ali and Hagler knockers in terms of pointlessness
as for greenberg ...in his early stint on the beeb alongside audley he did seem ok...def too seasoned for Aforce to take on...but he developed into a fat slow and totally listless fighter
Donnel and Chapman to fall next please
Agree with your analysis of his promise while BBC were showing him, though
i suppose ...but for every legit ..theres a bazillion rumours
he was flipped by kalikauskas ..thats enough for me
but anyway...hes been iced ..so its all good
