Helenius gets one last chance for super stardom
during his early career i was one of those who thought he had real potential.
erkan teper is a lot more of a world threat than people think.
naturally i live in a utopian fantasy world where boxers fight much more regularly....but i guess we'll just have to wait until december for this clash
i have to pick Teper to win this but if Helenius dosnt retreat into an audley shell....he might just pull off a good performance
as for the hipster beard? obviously i consider them absurd...but if he's going down the whole nordic / viking image thing ...then thats actually acceptable.
WAR , people
In kickboxing they have tournaments, they just start with 32 fighters, let them fight to 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.
The only dumb thing they do is that they do all of it in about two to three days, so sometimes the kickboxers are still tired or even injured from their last fight. That's why you never see a kickboxer with a 100% clean record, unlike in boxing.
I think such a tournament thing should happen in boxing as well every 5 year or so, with a match about once every month, just in case with a protection of the top 16 or so and match them up with 16 tournamentwinners.
That way, even guys like Shannon Briggs can easely approach the top if they really are as good as they think they are and that way it doesn't take you like at least three years before you finally can approach the top fighters.
