grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
looks at own fists
looks at you
goes docile & gives up
It’s his haircut (hence the ‘ringo’ nickname) that makes him look so retarded. His head looks like somebody shaking a wet mop every time Clay clobbers him. It had to hurt for him to watch his own fights. You’d could prolly even beat him without hitting him. Just wait long enough and he’ll eventually trip into the corner post and knock himself out.

Ringo’s strong af tho and hits like one of those Argentinian mules that carry yuge ridiculous loads of produce, cookware, fabrics and furniture stacked five feet high and four feet wide - u wonder how they even got all that stuff tied up like that - where it looks like at any moment the straps will snap and the shit will explode out in all directions falling off two thousand foot cliffs becuz the road is primitive, narrow, and runs along the edge (wouldn’t u know it), up those high-ass mountains where the air is so thin u can’t hardly breath. That’s what gives Ringo his endurance. He’s a high altitude work mule with incredible endurance. He’s one of those big dumb Jaws (the james bond bad guy) lookin type guys with that big flat nose and yuge jaw chromosome, but a mexican version.
You are full of it.
Big Buster Mathis, 23 fights 23 wins, smoked in the eleventh by Billy Boy. Nice footwork for a big guy tho and he’s got this slick thing where he tucks in a clinch and at the moment of the break, sneaks two in on u as you’re backing up. Joe got wise to that shit real quick tho. Mathis didn’t have the stamina to go more than eight or nine with Frazier, I’m sure. He was banking on a knockout in the first five. Mathis has a 40 lb advantage and a four inch reach advantage, but he’s too heavy to be movin around for too long like that. Guy was already ready for a nap by round eight.

Joe made $175,000 off the fight, Mathis $75,000 (I think regardless of loss).
This thread is about absolute randomness, but @promethean75 is obviously on a theme here. I demand a subject change.
Your homeboy Bob Foster… sumthin like 56 wins, 8 loses. Yes u saw that right. That skinny-ass dude has won that many fights.
Well that seemingly miraculous reign of heavy weight terror is now over, Bob, becuz Smokin Joe is fixin to crack open a Fosters, mate.

Yo that would be kewl if Emcee Carleas collected my complete works on boxing and put them all in a thread with a cool name that’s smokin.
Dave Ziglewiscz, 32 and 4. Knocked out in about two minutes. We call this Smokin Joe’s Ziglewiscz Blitz.
Dave went down for the first time in his career in fifteen seconds after the fight began. The knock down in the clip is the second.

Memorable Smokin Joe Frazier trivia: Smokin Joe Frazier broke his thumb during the olympics boxing tryouts but went on to fight and win the gold without reporting the broken thumb.

There’s a goofy state a beaten and tired Ali gets into when his pride and hubris is so great it prevents him from being cognitively aware of the real danger he’s in, i think.
At this point in round 8 (i think), Clay, who claims to be a scientist, is rope-a-doping to rest for an attack that comes in round 9. His plan was to let Joe punch himself out. But instead of holding a guard while resting on the ropes, Clay starts scrubbing Joe’s face with those stupid little taps, giving Joe three or four good solid hooks to his head. That’s the goofy state where his confidence and brute power rule out any sense of real danger and use of caution. A behavior he acquired by fighting much less dangerous opponents, but he lacks the insight to realize u can’t do thar stuff with Frazier.
In Joe’s case, there is no irrational goofiness going on. He’s not doing what he’s doing for the reasons Clay is doing what he’s doing. Primarily, Joe’s not in the same danger as Clay’s in, right here. Instead, Joe’s playing along with Clay’s arrogant theatrics and returning the same nonsense (light repetitious taps to the gut) to tell Clay and the audience that he is perfectly at ease, unshaken and unafraid. But Joe’s using this interlude strategically and gives us a far better show than Clay… tryna cut Joe by rubbing his gloves on his face. Some underhanded scientific shit there.
Now watch what Clay get’s when he thinks he can play with Joe. It’s an irresponsibility on Clay’s part to do his homework, study Frazier, and come to the conclusion that u can’t do that stuff with Joe. He totally handed Joe the opportunity to mortally wound him with those few massive blows. This little episode due to Clay’s hubris was what sealed his fate. Frazier ruled every following round except for when Clay dropped that little fantastic flurry at the end of 9.
Not only that, but Joe does it prettily to further offend Ali and his overconfident fans ; tap tap tap tap HOOK! Tap tap tap tap tap HOOK! Landed every fuckin one of em.

Clay really is a big dummy, a clown, a big silly innocent kid who thinks he’s a prophet and plays around too fuckin much. The paradox is that that’s at the same time what makes him such a badass.
Why do asians, particularly koreans and chinese, so easily function as a collective? Becuz they look so much alike. The origins of the will to be an individual and be distinguished from others are in the noticing of the great variation between people. It’s all psychological, bro. The greater the variation, the stronger the sense of self, of the difference between people, the uniqueness, novelty. This is why Europeans (or one reason why, rather) lead everything in the modernization of man all the way up to the industrial revolution and beyond. Becuz they didn’t all look the same, they stayed un-united as larger groups and were forced to compete with/for ideas, science, technology and progress in general. They experienced a greater stimulus to be creative and productive precisely becuz they wanted to be better than each other… and this becuz of the vast phenotypical irregularity between them.
People who look very very much alike feel very little original differentiation from other people as they grow up. They see themselves when they’re all sitting in a subway car in Korea listening to hip-hop and going to work. That’s why it’s so chill over there in the east.
This reminds me of these twins I knew in high school who demanded they were not identical, even though they looked identical, and tried very hard to distinguish themselves from each other.
Well, are ya? @promethean75
I dunno what ‘at odds with oneself’ really means.
Actually there’s no cultural trace of anything middle eastern in my composition… other than some minor physical characteristics. I do think like the Hashashin tho and have some relatives on my mad grandmother’s side who were spawned from jinn and human parents, but other than that, I’m pretty white.
Pretty much fully americanized and i got into D&D and the fantasy genre when i was a kid, so i might do a little river dancing to that guitar riff, sure.
no 2 things can be completely identical
#facsimile
Identity theory is some complex shit, Mr. R. U sure u wanna go there?
Hashashins… assassins on hashish… what! 
I think you’ve made the ‘Jinn’ thing up, though. 
Holy herbs and spices look at these affinities, u guys. I just got my bag of gels today and took half a dose about an hour ago and I’m lit, man. 5 micograms, the expensive shit so i know it ain’t the fake stuff from the other evergreen bark those shysters be tryna sell as the real deal. And no i don’t have any problems popping boners so that’s not why I’m experimenting with it. All i saw was dopamine this and dopamine that and i was like aight imma try this.
It’s a strange feeling. Definitely an accelerating stimulant but easy like sunday morning too. Hard to explain.
“Yohimbine has high affinity for the α2-adrenergic receptor, moderate affinity for the α1 receptor, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT1F, 5-HT2B, and dopamine D2 receptors, and weak affinity for the 5-HT1E, 5-HT2A, 5-HT5A, 5-HT7, and dopamine D3 receptors.[32][33] It behaves as an antagonist at α1-adrenergic, α2-adrenergic, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, and dopamine D2, and as a partial agonist at 5-HT1A.[32][34][35][36] Yohimbine interacts with serotonin and dopamine receptors in high concentrations.”
Behold the tree of life
