The Boxing Thread

*And here I thought I was the only person who didn’t think particularly well of Chavez jr. *

Chavez Jr is very lazy and relies too much on his name. He has always had issues with making weight and the nigga acted like he thought he was winning. Yeah right…

Where do people go to bet on fights online? Srs question. I have not been big on sports betting in general and have never bet on a fight before but looking to put money on Mayweather and Pac.

Would definitely appreciate this. Can’t get this legit where I live.

Orka’s question made me wonder: are sports betting shops banned in the USA, except for the gambling states?

All of the pro-Pacquiao stuff is on HBO.

Only saw the first 8 rounds of the Prov/Matthyse fight…crazy. It’s dope how much boxing is on TV these days, def gonna miss it when i fly back to Seoul.

Well I guess I can respect his honesty? But being greater than Ali and Sugar Ray? Hmmmm.

Are you looking for a bookie here in Chicago or an online betting spot.

Filipino not supporting manny right here

Mayweather wins and makes it look easier than people think

Unless pac brings it to the body and destroy’s mayweather’s ribs

Everyone talking 'bout Mayweather, there is another big fight going down though, this weekend in fact.

Klitzchko vs. Jennings.

Personally I’m a big Klitzchko fan so I’ll be tuning in.

Klitschko’s odds are always reassuring :mrgreen:
-108
+800

Klitschko fights are only “big” in the sense that he gets closer to Louis’ record. Other than that, he’s fighting a can that he’s prob gonna knockout in the 5-6th round, per usual.

The HBO version just blew the showtime version out of the water. The intro here is just sick…

The whole background and style of Mayweather vs Pacquiao is just too unique.

To be fair, i think every boxer thinks they are greater than Ali, Sugar Ray and any legend. They are just silent about it unlike mayweather but every competitor has to think they are better than even the legends.

What pissed me off about the Mayweather interview is what normally pisses me off about most black people and that is the whole victims of racism card. Black people complaining about unfair treatment because of their skin color really gets on my nerves. A blackman gets arrested for stealing, it’s racism; A blackman gets arrested for shooting someone, it’s all because of racism. Spamming Nigger/Nigga around is ok for black people, but other people saying it once it’s considered a racial slur. A blackman makes music about shooting cops and they just dislike his music because he is black. Shit, according to Mayweather all his 7 time penalties for domestic violence is all because of him just being black and rich. GTFO. Why in the hell are black people always yapping about how everybody hates them because of their skin color… we have had countless of movies/tv with black leads, we’ve had atheletes and celebrities that people worship who are black, we even have comic characters/super heroes who are becoming black. Asians can’t say the same with that but do you see them bitch about how they are hated? I mean Mayweather has stated countlessly that the only reason why people want him to lose against Pacquiao was because he is a black/rich guy.

I think Manny Pacquiao and filipinos have been slammed more from racism. I mean, how many reports are there from bars about filipinos getting jumped by blacks and mexicans in NYC just for being filipino inside a sports bar? Hell, i knew a filipino priest who is now half blind because he got jumped by 4 mexicans for wearing a Pacquiao shirt. Aside from those reports and the video Floyd posted years ago, the whole steroid accusation is really all(majority) rooted by people who are just mad at seeing an asian go on top. Because for some reason, Manny Pacquiao is taking steroids because of doing something that nobody else has, which is go up on 8 divisions with explosiveness… nevermind that he has never failed a nevada test or even shown any negative side effects. Yet Marquez, a 40 year old man who magically got a 20 year old body, a trainer with a notrious history, mad pimples over his body, and manage to draw so much power after getting thrashed for 5 rounds is all accusation free? Manny Pacquiao is not white so anybody thinking that the hate floyd gets is because him being black is a moron.

Nobody cares, Bob! Just STFU and let them fight.

If the fight ends in such an arguable way that they “need” to create a rematch then i will forever think Boxing is almost like the WWE now.

I still think the whole meeting floyd and manny had at the Miami game was planned. Manny claims that he went to the US and his flight got cancelled so he decided to get such good in ring seats. Surprisingly his rival is at the opposite end - at the opposing team. Manny and Floyd claim that was all coincidence but i think that was all just a promo. The both of them are likely friends who sat down during their dinners/drinking coming up with ways to create an awesome storyline and they brilliantly did just that.

You have Floyd: The arrogant, dick head, greed flaunting entrepraneur-richest athlete character who is undefeated. He’s known as the best defensive fighter with a ring style that is pure technical, scientific, slick, and the best straight right with strikes that acts just like a homing missile. He is like a viper who hyponotizes you into playing his game. We’ve seen him struggle with “lower-Manny’s”/southpaws who just come in.

then you have Manny: The humble, religious, feeder of the hungry - “i’m for the people” heroic congrassman who made history as an 8 time division champ. He is known as the best offensive fighter with a ring style that is pure aggression, high speed, awkward movement, the most powerful left with strikes that are like machine gun. He is like a jack-rabbit who goes in an out and just destroys you from attacking in perpetual motion.

You see how solid these two are as rivals? It’s complete polar opposites both in their public personas and their in-ring style. If this fight ends in a draw or a very close split decision that will lead into a rematch, then i am certain that Boxing is scripted. Not predetermined like wrestling but shit is all storyline.

Is anyone actually paying a grand to watch the fight?

You mean eight grand?

Yeah that intro was on point. Had Floyd looking like an evil sith lord n shit.

As far as blacks screaming racism, I agree and disagree with your statement, but its not worth getting into honestly. People want to see Floyd lose because he runs his mouth and doesn’t know when to shut up. Granted he is an amazing boxer, he isn’t someone people can relate to. With Manny it is quite the opposite. He has literally come up from the bottom and has really made a way for himself. I mean it really is like a good vs evil type of thing. Floyd hitting on women (literally) and always popping off, and Manny staying humble and just grinding out.
