Boxing

It's a balancing act for Amir and his family. His dad plays a big role because he's trying to look out for his kid considering sports groups and managers taking advantage. But I don't like the idea of him personally playing a role in negotiating for fights, paying money to trainers etc, he should leave that to someone else e.g. Asif Vali but it appears the latter is not squeaky clean either. Don't think we'll find out what has happened but it seems weird to me that Khan splits from the guy who's been instrumental in his success over some training issue. It can only be money and maybe terms were changed etc.

That's what happens when you get family involved with your business.

Shah khan and Asif Vali are dicks, the guys a grown man let him handle he's own ****. They're a bunch of inglorious bastards if they don't see how ariza has helped in transforming the kid.

To be honest, it is a bit hard to truly find out what is going on.

I don't really like Ariza just because of the way he talks about Amir's Dad and calls him a taxi driver as if that automatically makes him a moron.

So apparently Khans side is that Roach stopped handling Ariza's contract and said he had to sort it out with Khan's team. Apparently he went direct to Amir on the night of the weigh-in of the Maidana bout and wanted the signature there and then. Hassling a fighter before the biggest match of his life, I wouldn't put it past Ariza.

Anyone got Fight Night Champion Demo? It's so fluid, great boxing game, bit pissed with the roster on the official game - no Mayweather, Khan, or P.Williams :/

Miguel Cotto
Oscar De La Hoya
Ricky Hatton
Zab Judah
Emanuel Augustus
Julio Cesar Chavez
Kendall Holt

Init or Paul williams. Would also love the Prince to finally be immortalised in a game.

Looking at that list just proves how strong the Welterweight division is - in my mind as of now bigger than heavyweight.

You got it on PS3?

EDIT: Saw your sig, ok if I add you?

Despite the hagglings, Amir Khan's fighting Paul McCloskey on April 16th at the MEN. All that faffing around for nothing eh. I'll be watching developments to see how Khan does post Ariza, that's the only thing interesting about the fight as I expect Khan to win.

Fight Night Champion - Yeah no Khan and a few others but how long has it been since FNR4 came out? 2009?

Yeah 2009. FNC is so much fun - they've got the gameplay down, also fighters feel specific like Ali has his flicker jab, tyson with is crazy haymakers etc..

No Khan or Mayweather, like seriously no Mayweather? he's one of the most prominent fighters right now - must be something to do with acquiring his rights. Glad Haye and Lewis are in it, repping for the UK.

Can someone help me settle this.

is it easier to punch up or down?

I'd have thought there was less resistance when punching down therefore "easier"...can anyone shed some light on this, or is there no definitive answer?

It's easier to punch downwards. You're able to put more weight into it. Punching upwards is a lot harder - you have to contend with gravity and height so you can't properly put your body in it.
