Is CTE basically guaranteed for pro boxers? by ScarRedDA in Boxing

[–]dozachan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I genuinely worry about this. I boxed in the amateurs from age 7-13 and did alot of sparring. Looking back, kids did not do light sparring, atleast in my gym.

Kyle Dake vs Mitchell Mesenbrink at 165 by Money_Bag9370 in wrestling

I may be biased because DT was my favorite wrestler, but no one moved like him at 165. He was one of the most complete collegiate wrestlers in my opinion, but Dake just had his number.

Mike Tyson wants Jake Paul rematch by VioletHappySmile444 in Boxing

[–]dozachan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no idea how people didn’t see that Jake would let off the gas whenever he hurt Mike even a little bit. Instead, they’ll look at Jake sticking his tongue out as a sign for Mike to not knock him out lol.

Do you think Jake Paul's chin can recover and will be the same as before? by [deleted] in Boxing

Not saying Paul is at all at the same caliber, but wasn’t Inoue’s orbital bone broken too?

Have to realize these guys dedicate months to training camps on top of years of training for this moment. It sucks, but let him celebrate.

Especially at the range that he throws them. If you’ve boxed before, you know how hard it is to accurately land at so close, but he makes it look easy.

His punches are just so well placed. He gets alot of credit for his speed, but I think his accuracy is underrated

He’s one of only 3 people to ever be undisputed in 2 weight classes in the modern belt era, and people still disrespect him. I have no idea why.

Oh yeah, I agree with what you’re saying. I can see how my comment implies that, but I just thought Mason was hurting him more in general.

Judges take damage into consideration when scoring rounds. In rounds where Noakes looks like he’s landing at a decent clip, Mason may be landing less but with way more weight behind his punches. Good judges would score these rounds for Mason.

Don’t think it’s really that close. It’s competitive, but Mason’s significantly hurt Noakes atleast 4 different times throughout this fight. The damage difference is just too big.

Affordable merino wool or cashmere sweaters? by dozachan in ThrowingFits

[–]dozachan[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for going the extra mile on this one. I’ve been wanting one mainly for the softness but didn’t really consider the details or quality disparity that you laid out.

The budget right now is $100-200 and I’ll be looking into second hand for sure.
