THE OFFICIAL Matt Rempe Fight Club

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Appreciate the time and effort put in.
Hoping we haven't derailed this thread but love to talk fighting in general and as I near my 40s, I do start to wonder about the lasting effects of boxing/fighting on the brain/body.

I share the same sentiment about not wanting to see anyone die or be badly injured from it but I still respect all forms of combat and will til the day I die.

Ive likely left out a name or two here but off the top of my head, my list below.
Cheers!

I usually break down by style and then evaluate based on competition and era.
We have a lot of the same names and for good reason.

For pure power:
Tyson - 44 of 50 fights were KOs
Foreman - 68 of 76 fights were KOs
Marciano - 43 of 49 fights were KOs
Dempsey - 43 of his 53 fights were KOs

Beterbiev - newer fighter
He's won all 20 of his fights by KO/TKO.
He reminds me of the old school brute force mentality.

Purest boxer at heart:
Duran
Hagler
Hearns
Canelo Alvarez
Gotti

These guys had/have the natural ability to will themselves through a fight with high skill and heart of a warrior.

Showman boxer/god given talent:
Ali
Roy Jones Jr
Leonard

Lomachenko is real fun to watch, his footwork and high IQ has his opponents guessing at every moment

Where is Mayweather?

Where is Mayweather?

Meh. He never fought enough of the best in their prime IMO.
Just not one of my fave boxers.

We found the lonely Devils fan

To be fair, at the start of the game tonight a basic skating move caused him to loose an edge and fall.

That said, I'm not sure how you can be 6'8 and be a good skater.

 

[Satan]

A little foreplay to excite the crowd

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

They starting the foreplay already

He’s probably the fastest skater on the Rangers after Kreider. He is a great skater for his size, but yea his edges are the weak part of his skating. His skating has improved tremendously over the past couple years though

Maybe nobody ever told you hockey isn’t a straight line game

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

What happened?

Some minor contact between the two but Rempe has lined up Lyubushkin a couple times, bone crunching hits.

He gets around more than fine

 

[HersheyBob27]

Rempe just attempted to injure another guy by charging at a player and launching himself. Reaves is gonna be really pissed now when he gets his hands on him

It has to get exhausting trying to gaslight the board. He “launched” into a shoulder or shoulder check.

[Doublerum1975]

Dirty hit

 

[hatterson]

6'8 guy charging and launching up into a hit.
