    ***Official*** New Zealand Domestic Season 2015/16

    Wagner has been our second best bowler of the entire McCullum era and definitively the best bowler of the last three seasons, taking 50 wickets at 28 in 11 matches. He doesn't have the peaks of Southee or Boult, but he's taking 4.5 wickets per test the hard way, no ten fers, the highest...

    Outside of his BJJ, I'll also give Diaz credit for having the best ever one liner in a post fight commentary session. "I ain't surprised motherf......."

    I feel like when people here have their opinions disagreed with, they make some baseless crap up like "Oh, he must have only watched this fight" even though I've been dropping history points that were 10-15 years old. Not worth it. I just get warned because apparently I'm not allowed to...

    And you're wrong in saying so, the stats completely show that - he got outlanded 2 to 1 in the first round while the fight was standing up, despite having reach and height advantages.

    1. You still ignore the fact that he had 5KG more on his frame than he would have anticipated for a fight at 155 2. You still ignore the fact that he landed double the significant strikes while they were standing than Diaz did in the entire fight 3. You still ignore the fact that almost any...

    What you're ignoring 1. Floyd went from 126lbs to 152lbs in the space of a 20 year fighting career. 2. Floyd fought at 154 against Oscar De La Hoya and Miguel Cotto prior to fighting Canelo at 152. He had been preparing himself for that weight over a number of years, and again only...

    There is no excuse for Conor losing, there are reasons in which he lost a fight that was really there for him to win, those reasons ranked in order 1. He was too arrogant, didn't respect Nate enough and thought he would breeze through him early. 2. He had absolutely no capability to...

    You don't seem to understand the difference between "walk around" weight and "fight weight" which again means I can't really argue with you on this. Why do you think Floyd never fought any real opposition at 154 or 160 if weight makes no difference? Also McGregor rehydrates to 155ish when...

    You seem to know your boxing, I'll give you credit there although you've missed a couple of things that Mayweather did such as using his glove to shield the eyes of his opponent while ripping to the body, or using his elbows against his opponents throat whenever in a clinch, or collapsing at...

    If you think Diaz has ever been a knock out puncher and that it wasn't systemic of the level of exhaustion Conor had carrying 10kg extra than he's used to, I've got a deed for the moon I'd like you to buy.

    David Tua was not a better boxer than Michael Moorer, nor John Ruiz, nor Chris Byrd, nor Ike Ibeabuchi, nor Hasim Rahman. I'm not even going to argue this point with you because it really isn't something worth arguing, it would be like comparing Mark Waugh and Steve Waugh technically and...

    That's less about boxing and more about arrogance.

    Why do people here have such arrogant ****y personas? You're saying I'm a Pacquaio supporter somehow because I point out that Diaz, despite being much bigger, with more length, still let the much smaller fighter land a number of shots from the inside and outside, was not the best boxer in the...

    No, he said Diaz was more efficient with his energy. That's the only concession he made. He said in the post fight that he felt he was the better fighter, and that he was winning both rounds but ultimately he wasn't efficient with his energy, called out the three spin kicks he threw as...

    I completely disagree, Diaz was taking shots through both rounds that no fighter should take through the middle considering his reach advantage over McGregor. If you look at his face at the end of the fight, that tells you the story of how frequently McGregor bounced shots off his face. Diaz...

    Had this been a pure boxing fight, McGregor would have undoubtedly won. He was faster on his feet, better with his hands and was truly lighting Diaz up through the first round and even into the second round. Diaz landed a great shot in counter which stunned McGregor and in UFC; once you're...

    The amount of crap I take from people, and I simply state that something isn't a great post and get warning/infractions/banned? Not kind to newcomers.

    Boult and Southee - lack of swing

    Such a quality poster.

    New Zealand doom and gloom thread

    There isn't anyone quite like Bulfin running around at the moment in NZ; on his day he was fast and got great late movement but he only really seemed to have his day in the Max format. He probably should have played more for NZ considering his raw talents and our lack of bowling stocks at the...
