Povetkin's team said he looked so bad against Marco Huck because of bad smell from Huck.

Re: Worst excuse for losing a fight
I can't remember the game for sure but that sounds about right. I remember thinking, why's he playing it on the N64...cocobongo wrote:orbtastic wrote:Didn't David James blame a shocker of a game on his N64?

To be fair, Huck looks like he smells bad....Boxing Writer wrote:Povetkin's team said he looked so bad against Marco Huck because of bad smell from Huck.
Re: Worst excuse for losing a fight
I had posted this a few years ago. I don't remember the opponent but Hilario Zapata was getting ready in his locker room and noticed he had 2 left shoes.
He suited up as the show must go on and is ko'ed saying that he just couldn't move right.
I can't remember which magazine the story was in but it was bizarrely there.

I believe anything Yusuf Mack has said, how on earth he won a fight is amazing.

Making that double stupid. Why would you even let your Father back into your training camp if this was going to be your attitude upon fighting with him as your trainer again?Sklar wrote:Wlad claimed he was poisoned before the Brewster fight which may or may not have been far-fetched, but Roy Jones trumps it for me by claiming he lost the third fight versus Tarver on purpose because he didn't want his father taking the credit for the victory (Roy Sr was training his son again for that fight).
