The Boxing Thread

Dang… I fell asleep mid fight. So salty I missed it.

I like Pacquiao and I like Bradley, felt Pacquiao won the first and did enough towards the latter rounds to gain the judges’ approval. But after what I saw tonight from both a Mayweather fight seems less and less attractive.

It was a good fight. Bradley gassed himself midway, though, and as a result Manny did his thing and won! (anyone ever did or figure out, or even talked with the judges from their first fight to wonder why they scored it like that?)

Though, you can’t help but figure…was it really all Manny doing the work?
Or was it that his mom was throwing voodoo curses at Bradley?

You be the judge!

bradley hurt his calf in the first round, apparently. but i had bradley up going into the 6th and then it was just all pac.

Arum has some nerve to talk shit, after making all his PPV buyers suffer through that terrible undercard.
The sport of boxing will be better off when he retires.

ShoBox is the best boxing cards.

The fight was much closer than the first robbery, but Manny pulled it out in mid round. Manny still has good handspeed, but I did notice he wasn’t as accurate as he was in the first fight with his left hand. He proved that he is still one of the very best fighters in the sport and now he is going to wait and see if Marquez can beat Alverado so he can have the fifth fight.

fuck…are they seriously talking about another marquez vs manny fight? SERIOUSLY?

It’s been talked about as an option like on boxing scene, but more likely is a rubbermatch with bradley.

all i can think about is that photoshopped pic after the last fight of them old ass versions.

Hmm…Well anyway. In other boxing news. Lara vs Canelo has been confirmed for July 12th.

Bradley did allot better than the first fight but after watching the replay it wasn’t close at all but he had better punching power than the last one by a mile.

Pacquiao looked great but the age effect was just noticable for me. Looks like his age, his political career and possibly the KO he got from Marquez has slowed him down allot. The Manny of 3+ years ago was fast as fuck that not even the camera could fully record every shot he threw.

i thought they both looked sloppy. bradleys footwork is painful to watch


im rooting for maidana even though i know hell lose. war chino!


lara vs canelo? finally, canelo can finish the job angulo started and put this dude to sleep

Bradley made a good showing and improved his overall movement drastically from the first fight he supposedly “won.” I respect that, but his haymakers and pointless bravado were too amateurish for such a high level. He counted too much on Manny getting Marquez’d to really box until the last 3 rounds.

I hate to admit it though, Manny’s age is showing a lot faster than Mayweather, and Floyd is actually older surprisingly. I don’t think Manny has it in him to win against Mayweather if Bradley could out-footsie him the way he did in the earlier rounds. Mayweather is even cleaner with his dodges and crisper with his links. I still want to see it happen just to fulfill destiny.

The fight was ok. But there such a lack of blood… For some reason now, if there isn’t any blood just like the Diaz, Margarito, and Cotto fight it just isn’t that great to me. I like to see a match where guys punching the fuck out of each other where there spit is 80% blood. Boxing became such a girlyman sport that the blood is barely spilling.

I’m interested in the Cotto and Martinez fight. That is the fight of the year!

Exposed. LOL!

people still care about that?

they will care about that til it actually happens…then cry for 3 decades. there are plenty of good fights to be had in boxing…but that is THE fight.

I think Maidana can do it.
