they're talking Kirkland-Alvarez. Alvarez will eat Kirkland imo.

Kirkland sucks. Absolutely horrible defense and now he has a glass chin. He should rematch Angulo for the $$$$.

one of the great things about boxing is that mediocre talents can make for amazing fights through good matchmaking.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 6 November 2011 03:37 (twelve years ago) link
It's really a shame that Angulo punched himself out so totally. A smarter fighter would have taken Kirkland about to the two-minute mark in round 2 and then lowered the boom. Max K. is freaking out with love for Kirkland right now but I don't think Kirkland could really stand in with a disciplined fighter - he's not the only boxer who's well-conditioned, though to hear the commentators you'd think he invented training

super-otm and the reason the 70s & 80s at the Olympic Auditorium in LA saw some of the best matches ever between fighters no-one outside of southern California remembers: the promoters cared only about putting asses in seats, and that meant delivering fights that'd last a few round and provide maximum action

Kellerman's overrating of Kirkland is hilarious.
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 6 November 2011 03:40 (twelve years ago) link
it's great how HBO pinned so much hope on angulo and kirkland becoming an eventual super fight PPV but since they were both exposed horribly as mediocrities they were like "oh well, fuck it, put it on Boxing After Dark against the biggest college football game of the year"
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 6 November 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
btw I'm pretty sure in order to get the shot against Alvarez, Kirkland will have to fight Martirosyan. Who is too good for him.

Matt, you're a Vegas oddsmaker. Your job is to set realistic odds that'll get as many people as possible to bet, but which will shield you from having to pay out too much. What do you give the better who wants "Marquez by decision"?

bodog will apparently give 18/1
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 13 November 2011 02:50 (twelve years ago) link
I see 10/1 on bodog
― Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 02:53 (twelve years ago) link
18/1 seems about right to me. I think Pacquiao takes it inside of 9 although when was the last time Pac was showing knockout power: 2009! He really should have knocked out Clottey. Decent chance that he just goes to another points victory unless he's under heavy fire.

Marquez is as good an opponent as Manny can/will face, so i don't begrudge either of them making an event of it or struggling to finish it. watched some poor commonwealth bouts tonight with a distinct lack of will to show knockout power but let's be honest in a bout like this anybody wd settle for outscoring the other guy

round 6 of prescott/alvarado was fantastic but prescott's failure to keep the pressure on is pretty zzzz
