program starts at 2 a.m. probably at least an hour after that before the main event.

I've never been to a boxing match. There's been shitloads of world title fights in Scotland in my lifetime, yet never been to one. One of my mates was gonna get tix for the tyson fight (his fave boxer ever) but even he decided not to go incase a past it tyson ruined his memories. We argued many an hour over frank bruno back in the day haha (he hated him) the arguments started in 1st year at high school and still exist now!

i've been to a few boxing nights but never title level. I once failed to get £25 then £35 then £75 tickets to see Naz in Glasgow then thanked my lucky stars as he sparked the other guy (Medina?) out in about 30 seconds (including an 8 and a 10 count).

I have all 3 rounds for pacquiao so far but the 3rd had some lively clottey moments in the first 90 seconds

holy shit @ 2-handed razzle-dazzle from pacman
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:01 (fourteen years ago) link
round 6 classic pacquiao: land two blows on him and it's like he used 'em for power-ups, comes back with flurries of six at a time.
his style is just so good.
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Clottey still dangerous! realistically though I think you can only give him two rounds through round 7, which puts him in "you have to knock pacquiao out" territory, which is just not a good place to be

holy shit @ pac's 5-punch combo
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:18 (fourteen years ago) link
clotteys corner said we're losin every damn round
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:19 (fourteen years ago) link
clottey got some great hard punches in there in round 10 in between getting hammered. still punching very hard though. I don't think anybody really has the so-called "puncher's chance" against pacquiao, but the ones clottey landed in 10 were really solid.
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:27 (fourteen years ago) link
this is a terrible fight because both guys are too likable - i'm not even watching, i dont want to see clottey get annihilated
― :3 (cankles), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:27 (fourteen years ago) link
cankles otm but pacquiao's style - it's just beautiful. there's so much to it, so many looks that all fit together.

make the fight w/ floyd happen ffs

too easy for pacman, but it never looked like anyone would be knocked out

12-round style clinic is 100% cool with me

mayweather fight would have been good too but I honestly don't think anybody can beat pacquiao right now
man you know what would have been a fucking awesome fight? pac-man vs. julio cesar chavez
― the most sacred couple in Christendom (J0hn D.), Sunday, 14 March 2010 05:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Sorry I missed this, just watched a couple of rounds on youtube and Manny looked untouchable. Disappointed Clottey hid behind his hands so much but I think the early tone put him in survival mode and he couldn't really breakout of it.
So otm. I love to see a big knockout as much as the next blood thirsty loon but nothing beats 12 rounds of schooling - Calzaghe vs Lacy a great example, who cares if Joe wasn't concussive just fucking watch the guy box.

Not a boxing stan, but Brits should check out When Harry Met Ali:A Tribute to Harry Carpenter, some fantastic footage, not least this reaction to Ali winning his title back in the 'Rumble in the Jungle', spine tingling stuff.

Explosive start from Haye - had Ruiz down twice in the first (the second with a cheap shot in the back of the head). Then he wasted the second round walking away. Strange fight.
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:20 (fourteen years ago) link
is the fight PPV?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:25 (fourteen years ago) link
dunno I'm watching it on Veetle :)
I'd take either Klitschko to take Haye's head off on this evidence.
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah. Also can't find a decent stream.

and Ruiz is down again
another punch in the back of the neck tbh
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:31 (fourteen years ago) link
like haye as a fighter but wdn't mind seeing a (highly unlikely) sonning from old man rr

jr lol
ruiz getting his bum bum kicked

Ruiz is a fucking hard guy to keep down. He's walking straight forward and Haye's picking him off at will but you get the sense Haye gets worried when Ruiz gets close in the corner.
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link
Ruiz has been on his arse about six times yet it's still Haye boxing backwards looking to counter.
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:37 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah wtf haye be a man and just go on the offensive
offensive like his ugly arse shorts
― he might have even have gone in. (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Ruiz looks pretty much done but you have to admire the guy for not taking a backward step.

not like Haye is the most exciting fighter in the world but thank God for a Ruiz L

Never in doubt tbh.
Dear David Haye,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_punch
Because this is a potentially fatal blow, the rabbit punch is illegal in boxing
Regards,onimo
― nasri like the wolf (onimo), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:47 (fourteen years ago) link
haye seems an unlikely hweight champ, he seems more charmed trickster than dull psychopath, you feel that if he did ever get hurt he'd find it difficult to come back
i guess he upped his psycho credentials a little tonight though
― nakhchivan, Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:50 (fourteen years ago) link
anything that keep Ruiz from scaring potential fans away is a positive imo
Ruiz fights worse than watching paint dry x10000
― Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Haye will never beat the Klitschkos fighting like this, which makes me think the plan is to never fight them.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 3 April 2010 22:57 (fourteen years ago) link
Haye's quite late to the division and I think he's felt a few heavyweight punches and decided to be a bit more circumspect in attack. Anyone with a bit of talent and power will stop him.
