Boxing

[GonzoStyle]

<p>I'm an old schooler but a new schooler at the same time cause I havent posted here in years. I was just curious and didnt remember if there were any boxing fans here?</p><p>I remember on some of the other boards, boxing wasnt too popular but I love boxing more than any other sport and unfortunatly for many reasons it's not as popular as it once was.</p><p>Figured I would ask and see if boxing topics would get some play around here.</p><p>Since I started the topic, might as well have some point to it as well, if you are a fan who is your current favorite boxer and what match are you looking forward to most?</p><p>My current favorite has to be Mayweather,&nbsp;I may completely dislike him personally but it is impossible to deny the sick talent he has, it's like watching Roy Jones if Jones actually had &quot;competition&quot;. Jermain Taylor is a close second and someone I like personally, he is still a young fighter but he did beat Hopkins twice and that's no easy feat.</p><p>There is really only one fight I think pretty much everyone wants to see and thats Mayweather Vs. Delahoya, it would probably end up the biggest non-heavyweight money maker ever.</p>

[Snacks]

I'm a huge boxing fan atleast there will be 2 of us on here.

[jhawk57]

Another boxing fan checkin in here! I try to keep up as much as I can in the midwest.

[GonzoStyle]

<p>Thats two more boxing fans that I seen in the last 6 and a 1/2 years I been posting on the various boards.</p><p>there was antsinmypants but he doesnt count cause he bet against me on the Tua vs. Lewis fight.</p>

[PhishHead]

huge boxing fan here, boxed for about 7-10 years.&nbsp; Its in a big decline now though compared to what it us to be.

[GonzoStyle]

<p>Boxing is viewed as on the decline mainly because the heavyweight division has always been the measuring point for boxing and it sucks. Thankfully we have the lower weight classes which are overflowed with great talent, so compared to the past, it's not as good but there are still a lot of great fighters out there.</p><p>The main reason boxing is in such a decline is boxing itself, the governing bodies mainly and the fact that boxing is not as accesible to the mainstream audience.</p>

[King Imp]

<p>Boxing fan here as well. </p><p>Not sure if I could pick an actual favorite, but among those that I do like are Arturo Gatti, Bernard Hopkins, Manny Pacquiao, and Jermain Taylor. Mayweather is a great fighter, no doubt. Possibly the best right now, but I really wish they could find someone who would give him a challenge. After watching Baldomir stand in front of Gatti, take his bombs&nbsp;which would kill a normal human, and look like he didn't even feel them, I thought he would have given Mayweather a good fight. That couldn't be further from the truth. </p><p>As for Taylor, I was really impressed with the fact that he could beat Hopkins twice (no easy feat), but since then has not looked superb. This latest fight against Ouma was awful. I expected much better and frankly was bored most of the fight. Jermain better wake up and get back to the superstar that everyone predicted him to be before he fights Joe Calzaghe. Otherwise he may be looking at his first loss. I really would like to see a Taylor-Wright rematch though. That was a decent fight. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[King Imp]

<p>I personally was fine with it when all you basically heard of were the &quot;Big 3&quot; (WBA, WBC, &amp; IBF). I liked having those three and the possibility of unification fights. </p><p>Now it's an&nbsp;complete joke with how many belts there are for all weight classes. It's almost as if people are coming in off the street and creating their&nbsp;own belts for the hell of it. There is absolutely no validity anymore when everyone is a &quot;title holder&quot; these days. Hell, a few months ago I was flipping though channels and came across a fight between two guys who were on the first season of The Contender. Would you believe that one of these nobodies actually had some ridiculous belt? What a joke! </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[PhishHead]

<p>The funniest thing is that Sergio Mora is probably going to face Jermain Taylor cause Winky wont agree to contract terms.&nbsp; </p><p>I was impressed with Edison Miranda on saturday hopefully he has some potential and doesnt get caught up in just revenge on Abraham.&nbsp;</p>

[Lunakid23]

<p>Dude I absolutely love boxing, although it has declined over the years. My favorite right now will probably have to be mayweather but in order for him to be considered one of the greatest ever he can't stop fighting he has to keep on, maybe move up to middle-weight even if he doesnt have the punching power. Jermain is good, I love Winky. </p><p>To fix boxing they should bring down the title belts to 1 or 2 for ever division, unite all boxing federations, cut down some of the weight classes- like all the weight classes below featherweight, as well as cruiser weight, establish a weight limit for the Heavyweight divison (190-225 pounds). Theres so much more.</p>

[ralphbxny]

Same here...another boxing fan.&nbsp;

[keithy_19]

There will be&nbsp; aminor resurgence in boxing because of the Rocky movie.

[Fezticle98]

<p>I'm a fan of the sweet science. It's amazing how big the sport used to be. Talking with my grandfather, every title fight was a HUGE event. Now with all the belts out there, title fights occur frequently and often amongst two chumps.</p><p>I don't really have a favorite fighter at this point. I used to like Vargas, but after the steroid thing and his declining skills, his best days are over. </p><p>The heavyweight division is boring.</p>

[cougarjake13]

<p>i watch the ocassional big ppv fight but i havent been that huge into boxing</p><p>i follow wrestling, then ufc, then boxing</p>

[Snoogans]

Im a big boxing fan, however im bneing turned off very quick. I still love boxing, and when its on ill watch it and know who most everyone is, but the level of talent and the fact that they are charging so much money for horrible fights makes it hard to stay a big fan

[TokeOne]

<p>I cover South Florida boxing for FightNews.com and the situation here is pretty dire. </p><p>A lot of the great local cards dried up and now Warrior's dominates, but they do not consistently put on good cards. </p><p>The Boxing After Dark card at the Miccosuke was great this Saturday though. The unheralded kid from Chicago by way of Mexico knocked out the Great White Hope while being well behind on the cards. </p><p>The crowd was rock concert hot for the fight and rooting for Hernandez. </p><p>If you watched it on TV, I was the tool on press row everytime they went to Litzau's corner.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[FUNKMAN]

<p>i like watching some of the fights. mostly the lighter weights where you actually see guys box for 12 rounds. </p><p>caught corrales/castillo 1 and it was the best fight in a long time. i also caught mayweather beating castillo some time back and it made me a believer in mayweather. fastest/accurate hands i've ever seen.</p><p>but my illegal box stopped working about 4 months ago so i'm dependant on HBO</p>

Mayweather/De La Hoya on Cinco De Mayo is going to be nuts!<p>&nbsp;in response to Paul Williams.&nbsp; He is a great specimen and a natural talent, but still very raw and not seasoned enough, he has fought Mitchell but mitchell was already past his prime and Margarito hasnt fought anyone either besides Cintron, and Margarito looked horrible in his last fight an dhurt his wrist.</p><p>Margarito is actually planning on ducking Williams vacating the Belt and fighting Cotto so he will get paid more .&nbsp; Which for him is the smartest move.&nbsp; Because Williams is a freak of nature he has an 82 inch reach for a welterweight that is just unheard of.</p><p>Williams most likely by next year will be ranked 1 in his division by Ring Magazine unless he losses by some weird happening.&nbsp; The only guy who could give him problems is Floyd because he is skilled beyond belief and too fast for him.&nbsp; But mayweather is planning to retire so most likely will not take a fight against someone who could hurt him.&nbsp; Cotto sucks by the way he doesnt have a great jaw at all and is still too raw. </p>

[TheGameHHH]

If Margarito does in fact duck Williams I will be pissed off beyond belief. Williams is raw, but he's a fucking freak.

Margarito would be my favorite in that match up. <p>As far as Oscar Vs. Mayweather, that is a toughie to pick cause there are reasons why either one can win. Naturally Mayweather is more active recently, younger and just a freak of nature. At the same time, his achilles is his brittle hands which could be a major impact. While Mayweather has faced very good opposition in his career, he has never faced someone like Oscar. At the same time, Oscar hasn't faced anyone of Mayweathers stature in several years and he's more at the tail end of his career, where as Floyd is in his prime. While Oscar is not old, he's been involved in so many big time fights and has been on top so long, he's a senior citizen in the fight game. By far on paper one of the best looking fights in the last 5 years, lets just hope it lives up to the hype. </p><p>I had no doubt that Shane Mosley would beat Oscar in their first fight because of seeing him through out his career but this time around I am not sure.</p>

[TokeOne]

I interviewed Samuel Peter yesterday for FightNews.com. Anyone think Toney has a chance against him in the rematch? All Peter has to do is to fight the same fight he did last time and he is a lock.

[TheGameHHH]

Ricky Hatton is fighting tonight if anyone is interested. normally a pretty fun fighter to watch.

[TheGameHHH]

Calzaghe is fighting tonight, anybody watching? I'm starting to get excited for Mayweather/Hatton. I have a pretty good track record in this thread so far, so thats why I'm going on record now and saying Hatton will beat Mayweather when they fight on December 8th. I haven't watched a fight in about a month or so, so this is a nice fight to get me back and excited for next month's blockbuster.

[LimeJohnny]

Congratulations to Joe Calzaghe for winning over Kessler. Hopefully Joe will move out of his weight class in order to challenge Pavlik or Taylor.

[PapaBear]

FYI... There are some amazing classic fights on Youtube.

Here's the entire James J Braddock fight...

In a preview for the Mayweather-Hatton run-up reality show, they showed a clip of Hatton and Mayweather standing toe to toe. Hatton was silent and still, staring at Mayweather, who was doing his best softshoe, bopping back and forth and spewing from the mouth.

Hatton just looked at him, chuckled, and laid out a poker straight "Heh, yeah, when's the last time you knocked anybody out?"

For a second it slapped the smile right off Mayweather's face.

I think that clip sums up the fight perfectly. I seriously doubt that Mayweather has the power to hurt Hatton- the guy's got a head that even looks like a slab of granite. Mayweather better stay on his toes, or he's gonna get KTFO.

[nate1000]

Congratulations to Joe Calzaghe for winning over Kessler. Hopefully Joe will move out of his weight class in order to challenge Pavlik or Taylor.

I'd love to see a Calzaghe-Pavlik fight. I've watched Pavlik again and again and just cannot figure out where his power comes from . That overhand right just doesn't look that tough, yet it keeps dropping opponents.

As for Taylor- that dude's one more loss from hanging up the gloves for good. Don't know what happened, he used to be hungry, but ever since the winky fight, he lacks heart.

[Yerdaddy]

I'm an occasional fan of boxing - I'll watch a good fight if it's on. But I've got a buddy who came to Thailand and Cambodia to train in kickboxing and he's got his first Cambodian fight coming up at the end of this month. He's said to be pretty good - the local drug dealers have all seen a video of his fight in Thailad and they think he's a god. So I'll be attending Cambodian kickboxing matches soon as research for an article I've started writing about the guy. Should be interesting. It will definitely be televised as they always televise it when westerners fight becuse usually they come here on their own and don't have proper managers so they always pair them up with champions for their first fight and they get the everloving shit kicked out of them - broken arms and faces as my buddy describes it - and they go home right after. My boy's got a good South African trainer so he'll work his way up the ladder the right way and everyone I've heard says he's got potential to be a champ. I'll see if I can find a way to get the video up on YouTube afterwards.

[BoondockSaint]

I'm really looking forward to the Cotto-Moesley fight this Saturday.

[BoondockSaint]

Anyone going to watch this tonight? I'm hoping Cotto kicks his ass. I'm also hoping that I'll be sober enough to remember it tomorrow but I doubt it.

[TheGameHHH]

I would watch it but its PPV and i dont feel like spending the money. there is a hooters like 5 miles down the road from me thats showing it but i dont wanna go alone. i'll see if i can get somebody to come with me, but if not then i wont be watching until HBO hopefully shows the replay next weekend or something.

[TheGameHHH]

is Miguel Cotto/Paul Williams a possibility?

[TheGameHHH]

Tarver is fighting tonight on Showtime, with Forrest on the undercard. Anybody gonna check it out? Tarver is a cocky motherfucker, he reminds of Mayweather but a little toned down. This is the last fight I'm catching before next week's showdown. If gambling were legal, I would say I put a nice chunk of change down on Ricky Hatton.

I don't have Showtime so I can't watch tonight. I hope Hatton pounds Mayweather next week. I have too much emotion in that fight to bet clearly.

thats something that might have clouded me. i believed Mayweather was gonna beat De la Hoya from the start, so his cockyness leading up to that fight didn't bother me. But the way he's brushing Hatton aside is really making me angry, so maybe I decided to bet based on emotion which is never a good thing. I have said for a while Hatton will beat Mayweather though, so I think that cancels out some of the emotion.

I hope you're right. As much as I hate Mayweather part of it comes from how good he is. I never thought he'd lose to De la Hoya but there have been other fights where I thought he had a chance of losing and he winds up dominating. I love Hatton. It's the classic blue collar brawler going up against the pretty boy. I haven't been looking this forward to a fight in a while. Have you been watching the 24/7 show?

Caught the first two, has the third one come out yet? I've been watching them OnDemand so sometimes theyre a little late in updating stuff. Hatton said it himself in 24/7, we all know how good Mayweather is, but theres no reason to talk about it all the time. I re-watched Mayweather/De La Hoya a few nights ago after i watched the first two Mayweather/Hatton 24/7's. I notcied that in that fight Mayweather absolutely banked on the fact that De La Hoya would tire in the final rounds, which he did. But through the first 8 rounds, De La Hoya was winning that fight. Hatton will not tire, and on top of that he's gonna come after Mayweather. Pretty Boy has never fought a man like Hatton before, and he doesn't know what he's in for simply because he's taking Hatton too lightly.

[BoondockSaint]

I think there have only been two episodes of 24/7 so far. Hatton is very aggressive and will be pressing Mayweather but sometimes guys get frustrated because the guy they are chasing is never there.

that is easily Mayweathers greatest attribute, his speed. He's faster then any fighter out there right now. But for 8 rounds De la Hoya was able to get to him, that makes me 100% positive Hatton will be able to do the same. And he'll do it without tiring.

But I think De la Hoya is a bit faster than Hatton. You're right that Hatton won't tire. He's just an animal. Can't wait for next week.

[newport king]

im rooting for hatton for obvious reasons but realistically he isn't in mayweathers class. BUT he looks like he might have a punchers chance. i think there might be 1 or 2 times in this fight he might have mayweather hurt...hopefully he can put him away.

i did like however on the 2nd to last 24/7 how hatton was clowning him about how ridiculous that pads routine is that mayweather does.

"i hope he hits alot fookin harder than that!! i can fookin do that for a fookin fort night!!"

[nate1000]

My official prediction:

PBF will get KTFO in the 10th from an accumulation of body shots.

One Ricky Hatton
There's only one Ricky Hatton.
Walking along, singing his song
Walking in a Hatton wonderland.

[ralphbxny]

Agreed. I think Hatton pressures him, but Too much Mayweather.


I hope Hatton wins but I dont think he has enough!

Hatton has to get him early if not it goes 12 and Mayweather wins.

[TheGameHHH]

THERE'S ONLY ONE, RICKY HATTON!

I couldn't be more excited for the fight tonight. So who else is watching?

[epo]

Mayweather in 8 by KO.

You can't beat the greatest pound-for-pound boxer by heart alone.

[BoondockSaint]

I'll be rooting for Hatton like a motherfucker but I'm not very confident.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Lets go Hatton

Lets go Hatton

Lets go Hatton

[Snacks]

2 inch height advantage, 7 inch reach and unmatchable speed. Wow I thought this fight could be close and if hatton could catch him with a right he could win by knock out. But after seeing the huge difference and how slow hatton is I now think Pretty Boy wins easily.

I hope this is a good fight but this has all the makings of another Gatti/Mayweather fight. I thought Gatti had a shot because of his power but Pretty Boy just kicked the living shit out of him, it wasnt even close. Hatton is a lot like Gatti so this could be trouble.

[newport king]

i didnt watch but i was watching updates. espn had mayweather losing just 1 rd meanwhile from what i hear lederman had hatton ahead by two.

i think most people that were rooting for hatton knew in their hearts he wasnt as good as mayweather.

i'll root for whoever floyd fights next too.

[epo]

Mayweather with TKO in the 10th. (http://www.sportsline.com/mmaboxing/story/10520474)

[Snacks]

I watched the fight, it wasnt even close. Hatton won maybe 2 rounds and got screwed with a 1 point deduction for a hit to the back of the head. The ref was a joke he stopped the fight 3 maybe 4 times to talk to the fighter in the middle of the ring. The ref made the fight look like a kids golden gloves fight. He was too involved.

Im very impressed by Mayweather tonight. He was quick, showed power, was aggresive at times, took punches and at the end proved why he is pound for pound the best current fighter.

[DolaMight]

Oh man I love the idea of bringin a UK chant to boxing but that Christmas parody hatton song got so annoying before the fight even started. Didn't help the fact the undercards made me fall asleep 5 rounds into the lacy fight. What ever happened to him? He was showtime's roy jones and loses to a much better fighter in Calzaghe and suddenly he's a terribly boring HBO undercard... and didn't disappoint. But the main event didn't. That hatton really fought the best fight he could and took the KO as a result. When harold letterman was sayin hatton was winning rounds I agreed in terms of takin mayweather off his game but he definatly lost the round in terms of traditional hit% and clean shots landed. It was a pretty good fight and I was glad maywhether wasn't able to dance away and make this a boring fight. I'm now a hatton fan he might be the next orange micky ward. That trinidad-jones.jr fight came as a bit as a surprise for me on the 19th, but I'm looking forward to being more disappointed than I was for tarver jones 3. see you then

[ralphbxny]

RIP Ricky Hatton!!

Mayweather buried him...and i had such hi hopes!

[Ritalin]

Did you guys happen to see who was standing behind Mayweather holding two of his belts?

Mark Cuban, with the biggest shit eating grin on his face. Fucking A. Love him or hate him, he does get himself into some pretty interesting places.

Standing there, holding two of the belts up in the air during the introductions. Fucking hilarious.

[foodcourtdruide]

Unlike you guys, I'm happy America won.

Did anyone see Joe Calzaghe get in the face of Bernard Hopkins at the weigh in on Friday? Later Hopkins said he "would never let a white boy beat me".

It looks like 2008 will be an even better year for fights. I think that Golden Boy Promotions, with its acquisition of Ring Magazine, and the impending retirement of Arum and King is going to turn boxing around. Any thoughts????

I agree, Golden Boy is becoming the class of boxing. What else could you expect from a class act like Delahoya? Im glad to see a boxer actually run things and make money off himself and help others make money rather then have these other promoters make all the money.

Does anyone know how much hatton and mayweather made for this fight? I know last fight mayweather made 38 million and Delahoya made 55 million.

First off, the fight was fun. It was 10 times more entertaining than De La Hoya/Mayweather. But Mayweather is absolutely the best pound for pound fighter out there now. He carved Hatton up. It was a shock to me, but once Floyd turned back into a fighter and not just a jab/dance guy I knew the fight was over.

ESPN had quoted that Mayweather made 50 million from his two fights this year. I don't know if they meant 50 million a fight or 25 million a fight. Either way he's the second highest grossing athlete behind Tiger Woods, so he's got more money then God.

[newport king]

I watched the fight, it wasnt even close. Hatton won maybe 2 rounds and got screwed with a 1 point deduction for a hit to the back of the head. The ref was a joke he stopped the fight 3 maybe 4 times to talk to the fighter in the middle of the ring. The ref made the fight look like a kids golden gloves fight. He was too involved.

Im very impressed by Mayweather tonight. He was quick, showed power, was aggresive at times, took punches and at the end proved why he is pound for pound the best current fighter.


sounds like the worst ref in boxing, joe cortez. wonder if it was him.

I watched the press conference after and this is precisely what DeLahoya, Hopkins, and Mosely said- ie Mayweather is the best fighter out there today. Mosely followed by saying that he wants a piece of the pretty boy.

For all of those who think that Floyd is a piece of garbage, he was incredibly gracious during the post fight press conference. He basically said that he couldn't believe how aggressive Hatton was and that he brought his A game to the ring.

IMHO, if DeLahoya came out and fought an aggressive fight like Hatton for 12 rounds, he would have won a decision. Hatton just doesn't belong at that weight and needs to drop down to 140.

[nate1000]

Yep, it was him. He stepped in to pull the fighters apart every time they came together. Totally F'd with Hatton's strategy.

Gotta give it to PBF. He earned it. For the first few rounds, Hatton was ducking his head to the side when he came in and PBF wasn't able to land clean shots, but after the fourth or so, when Hatton started coming straight in, he started eating leather each and every time and the writing was on the wall. Also, I gotta give Mayweather some props for letting this become a fight. He probably could have spent a lot more time running, but to his credit, for the most part, he stood in there and fought.

You also got to give it to Hatton, though. He made Mayweather clearly uncomfortable all night and after the ninth, when his trainer told him he was way behind and had to make something happen- he did. He threw it all on the line, went for it and got caught. I would have liked to see a bit more body work earlier from Hatton. He kept too many of his punches high.

Freddy Roach told DLH the same thing late in the fight, but DLH didn't do anything about it and ended up losing the decision. I'd much rather watch a fighter take a chance than play it safe and put me to sleep.

Hatton should stick to 140 and destroy everyone in the weight class. Great fight for both fighters.

[chubbyknuckles]

Hatton flat out got beat, but we all knew his chances were next to nothing when Dave said he was gonna win.

I really like that boxing has slipped out of Don King's hands. The sport's much better for it. HBO and Showtime have entirely cut ties with him and if you've ever seen a recent Don king PPV it looks about as bigtime as a cockfight.

However I'm kinda gettin sick of golden boy promotions, the trio is all over the place and all these fighters that normally trash them all kiss thier ass now. It feels like wrestling seeing all these bitter rivals hanging out best of friends. Don't forget about maywhether promotions now too.

Boxing has taken the course rap did 10 years ago. Everybody has thier own label now, (Federation Records) and now everyone in the sport wants to retire and promote instead of fight. Too many promoters not enough indians.

For all of those who think that Floyd is a piece of garbage, he was incredibly gracious during the post fight press conference. He basically said that he couldn't believe how aggressive Hatton was and that he brought his A game to the ring.

PBF wasn't genuinely gracious, he was clearly bothered by the crowd, he was caught off guard by hatton being the overwhelming crowd favorite in his home town, the soccer chants, and it showed in his face in the early rounds. Now that PBF is a household name and he can't find a really competitive opponent, his biggest challenge is to become a popular fighter. I'm sure that was part of the reason he fought on the inside instead of dancing, in boxing to sell PPV's it's not mainly whether you win or lose, it's how you fight. Right now most people buy his fights in hopes of seein him defeated, not because they like his style/personality. He's still a heel in the people's mind. When he was overly gracious to hatton it wasn't because he respected hatton's fight, he wanted to convert some of hatton's fans, he wants people to like him.

I thought his post fight antics were awkward. Putting his arm around Merchant and pluggin his promotions instead of answering the question are more of the reasons people will never like him. Merchant was so mad he wouldn't ever look at him, but when he talked to hatton he was actually making eye contact, and hatton answered the questions honestly and got his plugs in at the end. Class. Then he goes and interrupts the HBO signoff and has nothing interesting or funny to say. I know that's just how boxers are but he's just not good at it. He's tryin to be a Roy Jones but he doesn't have the personality and he just aint funny like a hopkins or a tarver is. If you aren't popular in this sport your long term PPV sales will suffer no matter how good you are.

[LimeJohnny]

I was referring to the press conference that was not televised on HBO, not the post fight interviews.

I can't get into Mayweather's head to know whether or not he was 100% genuine.

He definitely plays the heel. Not everyone has DeLahoya's looks and charisma, so sometimes to get people interested you have to act like a jerk. Look at Ali, during his time he was the biggest asshole in sports and now he is revered.

[PapaBear]

Anybody know when the fight will be replayed on HBO?

[LimeJohnny]

I believe it will be replayed on Saturday night.

[PapaBear]

Thanks!

Edit... Just checked. It's not on Saturday.

He doesn't want to be the heel anymore, he never did. It's his lack of charisma that makes him come off as a jerk because he thinks he's being entertaining. And Ali was a different ballgame, he was hilarious, problem was he was Vietnam's dixie chicks x100, even then, deep down, people loved him despite the draftdoging propaganda.

Stellar?

Dude's got a chin and a little shake and bake, but I thought his performance was meh at best- way too much covering up not enough O.

Problem is, I don't know if DLH did enough to make me interested in a PBF rematch. I was really hoping Forbes would get KTFO, get people talking about DLH's power. Since it didn't happen, I see a rematch going just like the first fight- split for PBF.

Dude, do you get jokes? I know what kind of boxer Forbes was, the joke was about him sharing the same name as the guy that tried to run for president. But you could counter with the fact that the joke just wasnt that funny, so whatever. Anyway, this should have been Oscars last fight. I really dont wanna see him fight Mayweather again because Pretty Boy is gonna whoop his ass. Oscar is so done and this would have been the perfect fight for him to retire on. His stamina was excellent and he used his jab a ton, effectively. He just doesn't have the skill set to take out Mayweather. Don't get me wrong, they would be stupid NOT to fight each other, they're about to get PAID. But I literally have zero interest on De La Hoya/Mayweather II, and as a boxing fan that sucks.

I got the Forbes reference, just didn't read sarcasm into stellar.

As far as fights go, we got another Hatton fight coming up, Mosley/ Judah, a Pavlik fight, and a Pacquiao fight with Tye Fields fighting in his first legitimate fight on the undercard. So, there are alternatives to a DLH/ PBF snoozefest.

[Fezticle98]

Anyone catch the Forrest/Mora fight? I don't know much about Mora, but Forrest hasn't been the same since the Mayorga fights. He's shown his age and loss of speed since then.

Did the Melissa "Hurricane" Hernandez bout go off? Was it televised?

[TheGameHHH]

we got a nice 140 lbs. match-up tonight with that crazy Brit Ricky Hatton and Paulie Malignaggi....im excited

[Epschtein]

**just posted this on the MMA thread, could never find a boxing thread**

is there a boxing thread?

anyone watching the fights on HBO tonight?

this kid vera is taking a beating, almost time to throw in the towel imo.

hatton is a bit (lol) of a clutcher/brawler but i have always liked him, saw him fight in the boston garden a couple years ago.

[Epschtein]

TheGame - i have been watching less and less boxing, is malignanni any good?

i was bummed out when floyd dominated hatton, was hoping for a war.

this kid vera doesnt have a paryer imo, someone needs to stop it because he keeps eating big shots and kirkland is a huge puncher.

vera got balls tho thats for sure, just dont want him to tak too much damage. he just keeps taking shots.

he seems more cocky then good, but im a big Hatton homer so that could just be me hating on him. i really like that he's from brooklyn and i feel bad that im pulling for an Englishman over an American boy but whatever. either way it looks like its gonna be a good fight so i cant wait.

[Epschtein]

cool thanx. ahh just heard them announce him as a former junior welterweight champ.

lol @ another ricky the fatman entrance. i just like the guy, even tho his style isnt my favorite.

[TheGameHHH]

Hatton just opened up Malignaggis left eye big time, that was a fun 2nd round

[ozzie]

How many Ricky Hatton's are there again?

I wish someone in the crowd would speak up and remind me.


Although I do wish sometimes that I was walking in a Hatton wonderland.

[Epschtein]

yeah he stunned him again in the 3rd i think, malignaggi has the speed advantage but doesnt seem to have enough power to make ricky worry, he is walking right thru his jab.

[TheGameHHH]

i think there might just be one.

hehe that chant annoys me too and i like hatton.

who the hell did he fight in boston? was it collazo or something like that? anyway the place was only 1/4 full and i bought a cheap seat and went right down to just behind ringside, the usher was cool and let me stay, we both thought he lost live but when i watched it again recorded at home i could see hatton winning a close decision.

[TheGameHHH]

that wasnt as fun as i thought it would be, Hatton just worked him

[TheGameHHH]

De La Hoya/Pacquiao tomorrow night.....who ya got?

I'm going out on a limb and taking Pacquiao. I feel like this is the same pick I made when I took Hatton in the Hatton v. Mayweather bout, rooting with my heart rather then my head. But truthfully, I kind of see Manny taking it to Oscar tomorrow. He won't knock Oscar out and Oscar won't knock him out, so I see Pacquiao taking it in a decision. Either way I hope it's a good fight.

Pacquiao. He's at a loss in the reach category, but he's pretty fucking sharp. He's got a cutting inside game and I think at this point the Hoya. Just dosent have it in him anymore. Plus he's a drag queen.

[TheGameHHH]

anybody watching? if you'd like to see this without *ahem* paying for services, PM me and ill hook you up

[grlNIN]

I am actually watching right now with my boyf and the family.

The last fight they showed for the under card was the most ridiculous thing ive ever seen.

it was disgusting....that dude literally quit. he put on 16 lbs. overnight and just didnt seem to give a shit that he was fighting. that sad part is he probably got paid tens of thousands of dollars to show up to las vegas and take 3 kneel downs.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

the Golden Boy is a jobber in the last 6 years

the only way he will win is because he is 2 classes bigger than Manny

I still fell Manny should beat the tranny

All of these fights thusfar have been fucking bullshit, i am glad i did not pay anything to watch this because it's pretty pitiful.

The main event better be amazing to compensate for these bitchfights that preceded it but im sure it won't be.

As soon as he got knocked down the first time i kept saying that he was probably paid to just go down.

im far from the most knowledgable on boxing but ive seen my fair share of fights. tonight was easily the worst undercard ive ever seen, im sorry that tonight you dedicated time to watch this sport because its been a huge letdown thusfar.

truthfully though i still think the main event is going to be a ton of fun, so stay tuned cause i think it'll be worth it.

[grlNIN]

This is the perspective ill give you on how enthralled i was by the undercards. I completed my Statistics lab while i was watching them!

It's starting now so we'll see!

[TheGameHHH]

WOW......Manny kicked the ever loving shit out of Oscar. De La Hoya needs to hang them up now, it's over for him. He had an amazing run but the time has come.

Great job for Pacquaio, it's his time to shine now.

[grlNIN]

That was really embarrassing.

De La Hoya didn't look too good out there.

[Ritalin]

Thank goodness I didn't pay for that weak ass shit.

Oscar quit fighting a guy who couldn't knock him out.

He's a heartless pussy, and I was rooting for him

[Gvac]

What a waste of time and money. Every fight sucked a bag of dicks, including the main event. I don't know if Pacquiao is that great or if DeLaHoya is just a washed up wimp with no heart.

Either way, I should have stayed home and played with myself.

I did not get the fight, but not all that surprised with the outcome.

Pacquiao is one of the best fighters out there right now, but I have seen him get beat. I think it was a case of one guy being so much faster not just with his hands but even more importantly with his feet, that this is what I thought the fight would be, unless Oscar caught him with a punch and the difference in the size of them took over.

Mayweather should have done that to Oscar, but he really fought a terrible fight, and never used his big time speed advantage properly.

If Mayweahter is ever going to come back, it will be now to fight Manny.

If not, he will probably fight Hatton and that will be a big money fight.



Jason

[Gvac]

It was pathetic and sad, JDE. Pacquiao landed punches at will, one straight left after another right on Oscar's face. After the 7th and 8th round the ref came over to warn DeLaHoya that if he didn't make it a fight he was stopping it. The corner figured they'd beat him to it and threw in the towel before the 9th round began.

DeLaHoya was literally a human punching bag the entire time. He couldn't block a thing, never clinched or threw any real punches, not even his famous jab. Just stood there and let Pacquiao completely shut his left eye. He looked thin, old, weak, and slow.

Yeah that's what it read like on the espn blog thing.

He has never quit before even against Hopkins when he was getting nailed to the body, he still went down and tried to get up.

The jab part is the only surprising thing, with the speed difference you can understand him not getting combos, but to not use his jab, which if he could have used it, it would have prevented manny from getting all the angles with his feet, that was his chance and then he could have gone to the body off the jab, but without using it, he was done.

From the pictures, he did look very thin, so if he is going to use an excuse I bet it's that he overtrained and how no energy.

[TheGameHHH]

Margarito v. Mosley tonight, anybody watching? And yesterday they locked up Pacquiao/Hatton for May, im fucking pumped for that.

[TheGameHHH]

Holy Shit!!! Mosley put on a fucking show! He literally beat the shit out of Margarito.....and Margarito was going into the fight a 4-1 favorite. I can't stand Margarito, over rated piece of shit and he ducks tough fights.

Come on. You can't argue with the beat down he threw Cotto. Although, with the drama before the fight, maybe now you can.

There was one point in the second round when Mosley backed him into a corner, Margarito grabbed Mosley, tried to spin out of the corner and Mosley wrapped his arm around Margarito's waist and practically threw him back into the corner, that I thought to myself, oh shit, this is going to be a loooong night for Antonio. He had NO ANSWER for that devastating overhand right. Mosley landed it whenever he wanted and every time it rang Margarito's bell.

Very impressive performance.

[Epschtein]

yeah it was a combination of margarito looking like ass and mosley looking sharp , not to take anything away from shane , he looked about as good as i have ever seen him , fast and accurate ...

[Snoogans]

Paquiao signed, fighting Hatton on May 2nd incase anyone missed it

[Snoogans]

Mosley looked as strong and as fast in this fight then he has ever looked to me. Margarito looked like shit, but Mosley came out like an animal. Probably gonna get him another big pay day too

[Epschtein]

if they find margarito's wraps were tampered with he should be kicked out of the sport for good, boxing is dangerous enough without stiffening up the wraps, he is a damn coward if guilty.

yeah i know its probably happened plenty of times but i would say the same thing about anyone dirty enough to do it.

Yup watching escape from Alcatraz right now but once its done putting the fight on. Wouldn't be surprised if Hatton won, he doesn't have to lose or gain weight and his inside game is quiet dangerous. I'm a Pac Man fan but Hatton wont let up, i'd like to see Pacquiao win but my instincts say Hatton.

[razorboy]

Pacquiao is going to annihilate that limey prick.






I hope.:unsure:

[DolaMight]

Coming up in weight concerns me a bit but not really, he didn't slow down a bit against de la hoya at 135, he weighed in at 138 for this. Manny Pacquiao has proven he's too fast for everyone he's faced. Morralles and Barrera were both better than Hatton and he beat them repeatedly. He's good if they stand there and trade but Manny's just gonna jump in and out take it in a unanimous decision.

FYI He'll make US$12 million, Hatton will get $8 million. Dana White isn't even makin that kinda money yet.

Mayweather is too much of a pussah to come out for PacMan.

Worst part about it is that Floyd Sr. will shrug off his association with this steaming pile of a performance by running his mouth that Hatton didn't listen to him. Good for Freddy Roach and good for pac-man.

Mayweather went ten rounds with Hatton. I realize that Hatton isn't nearly as fast or as good a defensive fighter as Jr., but Pacquiao has faster hands than May and his punches land much heavier.

Mayweather is a hell of alot faster than hatton though. And smarter. hatton in the first round just walked into Manny. The second round he started better but then got retarded again. Mayweather wont lean into Manny's power. It would be a much better fight

Move the fucking team already! I wait for that day to come. The region here can't support a pro football team anymore especially considering the lackluster performance of the past few seasons.

And specifically about Thurman, why would I defend him? Even in his best years he was still a coke head along with Jim Kelly.

So what. Cokeheads, you mean like Lawrence Taylor? Thurman Thomas was a man, and is not to EVER be compared to that sissy girl that is Jim Kelly.

Its sad though, that the best player in the HISTORY of your franchise was a special teamer.

True. He was a hanger-on and a stat compiler.

why did you have to get in this week. I dont mean half this shit, i dont give a fuck about the bills. Im just tryin to rile up TC and you are roonin it. Although I do have mad respect for Steve Tasker. He was the fuckin man.

And as much as I hate the Cowboys, fuckin Bill Bates was the man too. THATS a fuckin team guy. Thats the kinda players you want around. The giants used to have an awesome one in Renee Thompson. MASTER of saving the punt from goin in the endzone. But no one ever remembers that kinda shit, the shit that helps you most win.

[DolaMight]

you are canadians

no, we don't want them. we think they talk funny. You keep em, put them down or send them to a foster home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiEO-adGxoc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiEO-adGxoc)

Oh and I work in the environmental industry. Jersey itself is the most contaminated state in the country. Because of illegal dumping in the 60's and 70's North Jersey is one of the worst parts. Newark is like a toxic waste dump. Think...the Sopranos episode where they are saving money by dumping asbestos into the river....but times 100.

yea think about it, and then think about the fact that i live like almost an hour NORTH of Newark. I live about 90 minutes from any of the beaches. Where I live has almost ZERO dumping aside from the area off 202 where Ford used to dump into the creek.

You are thinkin more what people consider Central Jersey. Its still technically north Jersey but no one from Jersey will argue its not a horrible area. Meanwhile where I live looks like this:

It may have been clean, but there is no nice neighborhood. Especially if you arent from Philly. Thats what you guys dont get, why everyone hates you. Maybe you treat each other decent, which I doubt. But you are scumbags to all peopl ewho come there. See in NY, we are only scumbags to the ones who come from other countries. Cause what the fuck are they really gonna do about it

Actually I get that perfectly. We hate tourists here. See what you dont get is we dont want people to want to come here. Then you get a city like New York. Completely overcrowded which makes everything a hassle from going to work to taking in a ballgame to just taking a drive. We enjoy the freedom and room to move that we have in Philly.

And for the record, we arent dicks to people that move here from somewhere else, just the visitors.

Marquez might get 1 or 2 pity rounds, but other than that, Mayweather has just been playing with him.

At least the 11.5 round O/U paid a couple bucks.

Pac-Man needs to get past Cotto, which i think he will even though he's a tougher opponent than Marquez was for Mayweather, and then it'll happen.

both camps have their sides, theyve both been ducking each other in my opinion. but once pac gets past cotto theres no way to go but to mayweather, its on from there. then in a year they'll both get their asses kick by paul williams.

Pac-Man / Cotto is tonight.

i wouldnt want to fight him either if i was mayweather, but if he wants to keep calling himself the best pound for pound of all time then he better fight Manny.

[Willmore]

Pac-man is a beast. I really hope that this fight happens. It's going to be the only test that Mayweather will have the rest of his career (unless he goes up in weight class) and I so want him to lose at least once.

[GregoryJoseph]

I just watched the replay of Pacquiao/Cotto on HBO.

I get such a kick out of how unorthodox Pacquiao is. He leaves his feet, crosses his hands, and fights so sloppy, yet he's effective.

I give Cotto a lot of credit for actually fighting into the 12th round.

He's got incredible heart and stamina.

He was done after the 7th or 8th but kept coming out and boxing.

[GregoryJoseph]

I also find it incredibly hard to believe that Pacquiao isn't coked up or on some type of upper.

That fight just made me sad. To me, Cotto looked like a shell of his former self. I dunno if he ever could have beat Pac-Man, but it it obvious to me that he is not the same fighter from before the Margarito fight. Mr. Plaster hands took Cotto's career away from him and that is a fucking shame.

Honestly, I don't think that Cotto was ever that fighter. He had a cakewalk of a career before Margarito. An old Mosley is not a proper challenge. Zab Judah, who at that point has already lost to Baldomir and Mayweather, and would go on to lose to Clottey too? Not a challenge. Malignaggi? Please, that kid couldn't knock out my grandma.

The Margarito fight was a travesty, but at the same time, maybe Cotto was never the fighter he was predicted to be after his early career success.

i agree 100%. and im not trying to knock Cotto by agreeing with you. i think he's a heck of a fighter but i never really saw him challanged before. what Margarito did was bush league and thankfully i never had any respect for him to begin with but i was never sold on what Cotto was cracked up to be.
