I’m going to stay up to watch the de la Hoya fight tonight. Hopefully it’s on early enough and not about 4am like most big fights.
Anybody watch the Jorge Arce fight that was on PPV a week ago?
That dude sucks, he won anyways bc he faught in mexico. I believe the score cards were; a tie, and 1-2 rounds on the other two. Poor Thai fighter lost and i had him winning at least 8-10 rounds, he got robbed and the announcers knew it. And whats up with the ringside saying over the PA that ARCE was winning on all three scorecards in the middle of the fight. Taht fight was a disgrace to all of boxing.
I didn’t see the fight but I heard about the scoring. It’s probably typical “hometown” scoring, nothing new. The PA telling of the scorecard is the new WBC system of “open scoring” still in experiment around the world except the U.S. Not a good idea in my opinion.
I seen the fight where Christian Mijares schooled the fucked outta Arce and by Arce winning that fight last week, he is the number one contender to Chrisitian Mijares’es WBC, WBA title. I don’t think Arce wants to get schooled again so he’ll probably chase a big money fight with Isreal Vazquez.
If anyone is interested, Ricky Hatton is fighting this weekend for the first time since the Mayweather fight in England. It will be shown on the Versus network here in the U.S.
This is a big fight for Ricky Hatton if his career is going to go on or if he will fade away like Prince Naseem Hamed. He is going up against a local fighter from my hometown of Sacramento, CA; Juan Lazcano. Also Paulie Malignaggi vs. Lovemore N’Dou, rematch which Paulie also schooled the fuck outta N’Dou last year. This is a set up card for a possible fight between Paulie and Ricky this fall in MSG in New York City.
Arce would probably die if he got in the ring with Nonito Donaire
I wonder whats going on with that guy Jorge Linares since he put the beat down on Larios
I’m really interested in seeing him fight again.
Donaire would kill Arce,… tragic.
Jorge Linares should unify with Steven Luevano or Robert Guerrero. I hate it when there’s a good fighter fans want to see again, but are kept out of t.v. dates.
I’m going to be watching the Hatton fight and as much of the undercard as I can. Should be a good night of boxing.
when is the hatton/magic man card? Thrursday?
And when, or if Hatton and Paulie fight that would be a banger. I got Magic man in it.
I think they are supposed to fight in either September, October, or November if they both win this weekend
Ive been working a lot so i dont really keep up with who’s fighting but i do check on Saturday nights for any boxing PPV, HBO, etc.
Thanks for the info stylistics.
Magic Man has no power in his shots
He dont need power, hes a technician. and didnt He did drop N-dou
Yeah and I’m pretty sure it was with a fucking jab
you’re welcome.
A couple of notes in the boxing world:
-
I feel bad for Junior Witter for losing his belt and his chances for a fight with Ricky Hatton. I wanted to see this fight and would had been a good fight.
-
I’m glad the Shane Mosley - Zab Judah fight got canned so I wouldn’t get tempted to buy this.
-
Boxing is real slow until the Cotto - Margarito fight. I picked against Cotto in the Judah and Mosley fight and as much as I praise Cotto, I’m picking against him again. I’m thinking Margarito is big, got power and a lot of ammo ( throwing around 100 punches a round) to beat Cotto.

Fighters on display in June: Kelly Pavlik, Andre Berto, Arthur Abraham vs. Edison Miranda, Manny Pacquiao, Steven Luevano
From what I have seen from margarito in the last 2 fights has been pretty meh. I mean that fight with Kermit “chickenshit” Cintron was sad, the fight he had previous to that was alot better. He throws alot of punches per round but they are not crisp and looked pretty sloppy in the fight with Cintron(but like I said in his previous fight he looked worlds better). If he comes in to the ring to fight Cotto like the way he showed up to fight Cintron I like Cotto by KO in 7th but for some odd reason I am fairly positive it will go to decision
Kermit Cintron’s performance against Margarito was one of the more pathetic performances I’ve ever seen in a championship fight. The one major thing almost everybody at welterweight lacks is consistency. One fight they look like a legitimate threat to anyone then the next is the complete opposite. I wasn’t even remotely surprised when Paul Williams lost his first defense. I’m not quite sure yet how the Cotto-Margarito fight is going to work out because Margarito is physically much bigger than anyone Cotto has ever been in the ring with. De La Hoya had about the same advantage in height on Mayweather but Floyd had the reach advantage to negate it. Although I don’t expect Cotto to really have to worry about it with Margarito being so god awful slow. He did well enough fighting backwards against Mosley.
if it was the 140 version of Cotto vs. Margarito then Marg would win,
But Cotto in 147 has shown more skill and defense and it is interesting that he is going to be perceived as the “boxer” in this fight.
I wouldn’t say KO in 7, that would be selling Margarito’s chin and conditioning short, but Margarito’s last three fights are deceiving compared to Cotto’s last three.
This fight will go the distance with no knockdowns
wednesday night fights had some brutal KO’s, good show
Agreed
I just can’t picture this fight ending in a stoppage
Like I said that fight with Kermit Cintron was such a horrible fight with kermit Cintron putting on one of the most gutless title defenses ever.
Its a good 'ol hatton throw down right now
