The Boxing Thread

Yeah, if peterson had of came on stronger in the first 6 rounds he would have had a chance but his output in the first 2 rounds was nothing. But that said, Mikey’s power in those rounds is easily able to KO, so thing is he tried to play illusive to neutralize the power and did a really good job. So its tough to say. That said, I had Mikey by a lot more than 1 round (aka not 115-113) so I have NO IDEA how anyone could score that fight 8-4 for peterson…

How about that fight before with Lee vs Quillan. What a fight that was! Both of them got knocked down and Quillan got put down for the first time in his entire career. And it ends with a controversial draw where the judge scored a knockdown round 10-9 instead of 10-8 leading to the draw.

Anyone that has Fox Sports 1, boxing is on.

Showtime’s Inside Mayweather/Pac episode one.

Anyone else thinking that Manny has got this? Mayweather just isn’t used to getting hit hard and Manny is a viscous southpaw. I don’t think that Mayweather will lame him out on points, I think Manny will take his licks, get in close and deal real damage. Then again, they’re both older, if Manny is going HAM Mayweather could tire him out. Dynamically, it’s going to be an interesting fight. A pure technician vs. a refined slugger.

Wow could that showtime video have been sitting on floyds dick any futher lol. They didnt even show mannys side at all lol

I dunno, I find Americans in general to be riding the Mayweather dick. Manny’s a beast man, like seriously, I’ve watched that guy fight for years now and he’s not just skilled, he finishes his opponents. He drops them hard, he doesn’t just show he’s got better skills, he puts them flat on their ass.

Mayweather fans still arent as annoying as late90-early00 yankee fans tho

I wouldn’t know. We don’t get Baseball here. I can guess they’d be like our Collingwood supporters though.

Mayweather is an amazing boxer hands down. But manny is amazing as well. I think roach may have figured out a good game plan but who knows. I just wish roach would stop talking and just train.

Maywearhers response to Mcgregor was dope though lol.

Damn this Matthysse - Provodnikov fight is pretty damn good so far.

Edit: Provodnikov’s chin is fucking ridiculous.

Edit 2: That was a fight!

Yep good scorecards. 2 Judges with 115-113 and another with 114-114. Great fucking fight, I’d like to see a rematch if Prov doesn’t retire.

Good god Julio got beat retarded, he didn’t know where he was nor what questions was being asked. Chavez jr needs a waaaaaay better team.

I think because of the monumental nature of this fight each boxer will get their own episode, with a possible 3rd ep showcasing them both.

I liked Mayweather’s episode mainly because of the Olympic footage. I’ve heard of shenanigans and shadiness in boxing, but that was a straight up robbery! I actually felt bad for young Floyd when he was forced to take such a fraudulent loss.

I’m getting more and more hype as the days go by! Once they show Manny’s classic handspeed and footwork in the next ep, I think boxing fans will start speculating more.

Dunno, I read the Showtime show will be all Mayweather, 4 episodes long, and for Pacquiao you’ll have to watch HBO Mayweather vs Pacquiao At Last.
Is the HBO thing out yet?

He’s one of the biggest morons in boxing.

I’ve said it before about Mayweather that he’s a technician. He has good footwork, fast hands and he was raised in a family on how to box. He has a technical mastery and understanding of the way the sport works.

Manny… Manny is a fucking warrior. He’s not a brawler though. He’s a smart dude. When he’s in that ring, he’s not thinking textbook.

It will be interesting for Mayweather because Manny is skilled enough he can’t just negate him like he negates a lot of boxers, Manny is technically very good, Manny’s going to test some stuff that Mayweather isn’t used to being tested on like how well he can keep going after he gets hit on the chin because Manny WILL hit him.

There are a few good boxing docs out.

HBO’s At last premiered last night and I am watching it now. If anyone wants it, I will upload it later.

Also I watched Champs a few days ago. Really like hearing about the other side of boxing and how Tyson, Holyfield and Hopkins were taken advantage of and what not.

Upload it but make it private, lest you be marked for copyright infringement.

Of course. I would add it to my dropbox.

Mayweather Jr. gonna get KTFO

you need to see my fb feed…its 99% pac fans stanning on him like the false god he is. lmfao. apparently all asians have some blood contract to side with him…not such filipinos.
