Defensive backs (defense) mostly defend forward passes, running backs (offense) are given the ball and then run forward with it with the intention of scoring.

ah so running backs are explosive, hard to knock over etc
think i got the def back in one tho

running backs are running with the ppl bursting forward to try and leap for the ball, right?
these are wide receivers i think

'touch' is foot to ball interface, for me 'footwork' is specifically foot-body-ground interface

btw I am a firm believer in all sports being good, worthy and exciting, with one (1) exception, but I am not going to say what it is - other than that, I find it petty and excruciating that ppl display their ignorance by slagging off an entire sport which probably relates a lot to sports they like but with a funky twist

Agreed, which is why I'll give pretty much anything a shot. Cricket's sort of intimidating though.

Harrison's statement began with him quoting Benjamin Mays: 'The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.'
He added: 'I give David credit as I never expected him to hurt me as he did, but anyone could see it was a premature stoppage and I should have been allowed to carry on and ride out the rough patch, even if that meant I would have got KOd.

Ordinary is a fucking idiot who still doesn't get that the amateur game and the pro game are too different for success in one to guarantee success in the other.

And if he thinks he'll ever be a World title holder, even in one of the Mickey Mouse belts, he's a stupendous fucking idiot.
― absinthe of malithe (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 2 December 2010 10:33 (thirteen years ago) link
The thing I don't get though is that if you look at his Olympic gold it was won with fast hands, big combinations, keeping his opponents off balance, etc. He has never brought that style to the professional ring - preferring to be a passive boring counter-puncher (note: I like counter-punchers, good ones) who occasionally resorts to attempting to be a slugger if the counter-punch isn't working.
I think his ultimate problem though is that he doesn't like getting punched. He turned pro and discovered everyone, including your average £500 a fight chubby journeyman, was hitting harder and he had no headguard and basically couldn't take it.
That he landed one punch in three rounds in a world title shot against a midget shows how big his heart is.

His fight against Sprott, when he threw fuck all for 11 rounds and then claimed he'd bust his right hand in the first, was the worst fight I've ever sat thru and summed up the guy for me. Everybody who got pissy cos they paid for the Haye fight had obv never watched Harrison "fight".

I was just watching some footage of Khan warming up in his dressing room and he's slipped a few left hooks - seems he's finally got round to looking at his own weaknesses.
Not sure I can stay awake for it :(

Never seen him fight but he's got an excellent record with huge k.o. stats so we might see Amir's head coming off (given that Willie Limond managed to hurt him).
