The Boxing Thread

That was such a robbery, espn shill tried, but even bradley was like he lost

Bullshit decision, dude not only got hit more, but he looking like elephant man

You’re still ticking huh? Don’t care about any of that nonsense. I didn’t call out Mayweather, Horn did. He’d get fucked, low tier troll.

I never said you called Mayweather out. I’m calling you out on your choice of words “destroyed”. That is like saying Lil Wayne destroys Nas because Lil Wayne “destroys” him on the charts.

Yeah Jr sucks. I’d beat his ass honestly.

People who complain about defensive style in boxing are like the scrubs that complain about zoning in fighting games.

I had Pac 8-4. I can’t imagine- how the one judge had it 117-111. Someone told me that BoxNation had it 115-112 Bradley and my Northern Irish homey had it similarly. so it might be a Commonwealth thing.

Your analogies suck, NaS is way more relevant than Lil Wayne and would probably out sell him.

your comprehension sucks. you clearly missed the point of that

Horn lost that fight.

The real losers were the audience though. ESPN and Screamin’ A Smith gave the fight the worst possible coverage and accusing the judges of hometown bias would have made more sense if two of them were not American.

Pacquiao is no longer the fearsome guy who KOs people 8/9 years ago. He is getting stale. I think it’s about time he hang it up. He definitely showed his age in this fight. He was holding the WBO belt hostage, not wanting to unify and fight with thurman or errol spence. It’s kind of a good thing that he lost. He also found jeff horn awkward to adapt to. If he had adapted earlier, it wouldn’t be a close fight. Jeff horn was surprisingly good and a solid, durable fighter. He did good no matter how controversial the decision was. 117-111 was a clear incompetence from the judge who scored it.

I got your point, the analogy was shit.

Wiping someone out by winning 11 or 12 rounds classifies as “destroying” someone IMO.

I’m Australian so I’m very familiar with Horn. He’s a young, raw brawler. Hes not accurate at all. He’s not refined at all. He’s tough though with high cardio. His biggest asset is his youth right now.

How the hell can you consider an opponent destroyed when at the end of the fight he appears to be unhurt at all… “oh he got lower points” so?
Cotto/Pacquiao is an example of "destroying someone, Ali/Foreman is an example of Destroying someone, Rousey/Nunes is an example of an opponent getting destroyed. Punching 2x and just running away throughout the rounds isn’t destroying someone, it’s just “beating” someone.

Oh no. It’s just us actual boxing fans recognize defensive boxing the way SRL and Ali showed it. We don’t see LVL 99 DLH during his Fight with Trinidad - Style as defensive boxing - or boxing at all, as to what Mayweather fans see it as.

Crawford should fight Horn. It’s an easy belt for him.

It would be really funny if Mcgregor knocked Mayweather out. The only chance I give him is to start really strong first and second round (with intense pressure, be awkward, throw some haymakers, use your foot speed). Act like you don’t understand the rules of boxing (play stupid, it is your first fight as a boxer)-push him around when it becomes a clinch type situation spin him and try to fall on top of him with your body weight. Now don’t go full Ortiz and do a stupid headbutt but you get what I am saying. The moment Conor tries stand in front of him and “box”, he’s done.

It will also be funny to see the UFC reaction if Floyd wins by knockout. .

Floyd Mayweather vs. Vasyl Lomachenko at 130. Who would win?

Floyd losing based on points to Mcgregor would be funnier. I bet his facial reaction would be “mother fucker…i paid for the control of this fight, i was really robbed”.

Horn is in-line for a big Vegas fight now. Beating Pacquiao is going to be a curse as he’s set the bar sky high. He has a lot to prove now where if he lost no one would have cared.
