Povetkin v Taurus Sykes?

[MC Paul Barman]

Damn,
I was hoping that after Chambers Povetkin would fight a higher caliber opponent.
Taurus Sykes last win was 12/01/2006 over Patrick Smith (mma'er).

So, it will be awhile before we see him in a meaningful fight.

Isnt he a mandatory for Wlad though? I can understand taking this kind of fight when hes at this level. Hes already competed at a high level as a pro, he has tons of amatuer experience, and hes 28 years old. Why would he want to risk his spot?
At the same time, going into a fight with Wlad you would expect him to want a tougher tune up, somebody who is gonna make him fight as well as he can.
Either way as long as he wins Im not too worried about it, I just want to see him fight The Man.

I hope that the reason for this step down was that the chambers fight showed him that he has flaws and he has subsequently worked on new techniques/strategies that he would like to implement in a fight against a not so risky opponent.

So I guess what i'm trying to say is that if i see something new from him this fight then it's all good, if it's the same old povetkin, that means that he just doesn't feel ready now or anytime soon.

MeBig,
how'd you get the yellow dubs??

I wish he would face a tall guy like Lance Whitiker but Sykes is game and will go a few rounds. This is simply a stay busy fight for Povetkin.

I started a thread in P&M asking if I could host pornographic pictures on photobucket, without exposing my account to deletion. I had a bunch of pics and videos of a girl that i broke up with prior to that that I had men tioned to friends, who subsequently requested that I show them. Since the relationship was over, I was all about it. Since I had a few drinks that night, the thread degenerated into agreements to send the pron to some thread contributors, and i got the dubs. I can't say for sure that that's what they're from but the thread was deleted shortly thereafter and I can't think of anything else.

BTW anybody know how long I gotta sport these things? I've been having great thread ideas that can't happen because of this.

30 days. Then dubs will be lifted.

I feel as though it's been months.... what gives?

I wonder if Sykes will talk to the crowd after getting KO'ed again?

"After the fight Sykes rolled out of the ring and began walking through the crowd aimlessly. Eventually a corner man led him back toward the ring. He was never evaluated by a ringside doctor or a member of the Floridan commission, after the last knockdown."

I know. I lost mine back in feb or march.
Can't even look at your own profile with them.
