pleasant surprise - Juan Manuel Marquez v. Rocky Juarez on Showtime now. Marquez is a great fighter to watch, Juarez would be making a go of it if not for a nasty cut.

if anyone's interested, there is a re-airing of the contender final on espn2 tonight at 10. this was completely not on my radar as the contender as a tv show is pretty terrible but brian kenny on sportscenter said this was the best fight he's ever seen.

BBC1 is re-showing the calzaghe fight after football focus on saturday.
x-post didn't calzaghe kick the arse of the guy from the contender? Or is this a new one?

A cracking punch to finish it. He's relinquishing the belts though, so no fight with Enzo unless its at heavyweight and enzo isn't anywhere near a heavyweight yet so I guess that fights a few years away.

Hatton KO/TKO @ 4/1 is tempting, though my heart might be ruling my head here.

I feel sorry for Ali though, he put all that time and effort into his little rhymes, his little speeches, his interviews, and yet his entire spoken word output has basically been blown out of the water by the majesty of "Will you stop touching me knee you poof?"

I reckon if it goes the distance, Mayweather wins. Which is why it should be a great fight, cos Hatton ought to realise that too.

do we know when sky are showing it on non-PPV? I'm so knackered there's no way I'll stay up for it, and I'm buggered if I'm paying 16 quid for it so it's a Likely Lads scenario for me..... if they're not showing it too late.
― Porkpie, Saturday, 8 December 2007 22:12 (5 years ago) Permalink
Khan wins in 1st round. And the ref shoulda stopped it about 10 seconds earlier as he wasn't fighting back. Earl was clearly a finished fighter who should never have been fighting Khan.

I'm not paying £16 either for the Hatton. I'll just check the result in the morning.

If the loser's plucky, we blame the ref. If the loser isn't plucky, we character-assassinate him. Fortunately for Ricky Hatton, he's plucky.

lol dat limey nigga got his fucken ass kicked... after watching all of 24/7 the other night i knew that there was no way mayweather would lose~~~
on tha real tho that was a tyte fite imho. i was impressed as shit by how mayweather adapted and came out of his shell. he stepped the fuck up instead of just doing enough to get by~~

Not a surprise. Maybe he shouldn't have stepped up a weight. x-post

happy to see hatton hit the canvas. mayweather was mostly dominating that shit though, would've won the decision.

Great fight. I thought Mayweather was technically superior to De La Hoya without really killing him, but tonight he was impressive as fuck. I'd've scored him at least 6-2 up before he stopped it but really...admire Hatton's balls and he gave good post-bout interview but you could see in him that he knew he'd been well beaten.

oof, that looks nasty.
Listened to radio from round 4 onwards and it sounded like Hatton got a lesson or two, possibly the most important one being that he may have the bollocks but he doesn't have the power to step up a weight.
Mayweather had been thoroughly twattish in the whole run-up, then in th epost fight interview seemed thoroughly decent.
