Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

Undercard fights non competitive so far

Stevenson very green but one to keep an eye on ime

yeah i liked him in Rio

they called that fight too early altho the outcome wasnt going to change

I think Loma will get caught tonight. Should make things fun. But still Loma by decision

it was early. i kinda think the 2nd fight was called early!

yea but peewee was wobbling all over the place

rigo fightig dirty. no way he wins this

gonna be SO disappointed if it stays this course

Rigo ain't going out like that I've got to believe

hes getting clowned so far. 5-0

loma is something else

finally the point

whit

terrible

wow what a baby

i want my money back

career suicide?

sans doubt

"nomaschenko". I'm dead

haha classic

so who will step up to fight Loma next?

are he and bud crawford too far apart in weight?

Stephen A Smith vs Teddy Atlas is the best part of the night

that was a joke btw, they just yelled at eachother for like 5 minutes

British heavyweight wins bout, dies:

I really wanted to see Pacquiao eat it on Saturday, disappointing that Matthysse only seemed 70% on.

the thought of Crawford v Spence short-circuits my brane, how do you pick one

i want to see mikey garcia vs spence too.

I think GGG will get the ko this time. One round in rn

Canelo disciplined, fast, effective so far

Pace picking up considerably, can't see this one going the distance. Good stuff

Canelo hasn't been on the ropes yet, amazingly

Awaiting decision. I score a draw

Two judges score 115-113 Canelo, fair enough, he fought a much better fight this go and my man GGG looking old :(

thought GGG edged it, draw would have been fair. canelo's numbers were good

really great fight. canelo won on style. thought kellerman had it right, there was an exact point in the fight ( i think middle of round 6?) ggg looked washed and done but canelo didnt press right at that moment and ggg clawed back in from that moment on. both dudes have chins made of granite.

you won't find a more flawless performance than this KO1 from Inoue

amazing

straight right hand direct to the temple. no ambiguity.

lovely forceful jab setting it up too

Inoue is 100% boxer, but the methodical way he sets up the distance and the abrupt precision of the punches makes that look almost like karate

waht

this fucking guy

This Crawford/Spence confrontation at the Hooker fight last night is actually pretty cute and heartwarming

I prayed for death on a daily basis … I woke up and thought why didn’t I die in my sleep … I tried to drink myself to death. I attempted to crash into a bridge one time.

fuck him up tyson

Fury is fucking terrible, I don't understand why anybody thinks otherwise.

A good rise and fall and rise story will lead people to overlook a lot

As it were

I haven't seen enough of Wilder tbh but the prospect of Tyson bumbling and missing his way thru even one round is not enough to make me stay up. You're right about the back story Hoos and the logic of it makes me think he might even win this somehow.

I'm rooting for him as the better fighter making a comeback from a relatable rock bottom period, but yeah, there's no excusing his worst public moments.

My trainer the other day was taking over/unders and, in giving the uninitiated a rundown, said "Wilder punches like an idiot...but an idiot that can knock you out"
