Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

"I'm the best light welterweight in the world"

He's calls out to the crowd "How many of you want to see me fight Ricky Hatton" - all 17 of them say "YES!"

Let's get it on!

British boxing: pretty good for a nation of white people that isn't Russia. Or Germany. Or Denmark.

Having said that, Froch's beating this Polish OAP into a coma at the moment, so it's not all :-(

I missed the fight, forgot all about it.

Aye, a good old-fashioned pummeling there. xpost

We have a new world champion http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7402980.stm

So Hatton wins. Anyone pay to see it or go to pub to watch it? (i didnt)

Sopcasted it. I think it may be safe to say Hatton will never be a P4P top 10 fighter ever again. His inside work looked like shit and he's quite clearly not gonna be able to keep up the pro-ana weight loss routines before every fight from now on.

He will make a fortune from another Mayweather fight, which is probably the only thing that keeps him going.

That fucking guy...

they showed it on versus (free cable) here in the states and it was the most boring fukkin thing ive ever seen.

anybody who doesn't want to punch this guy in the face is dead inside

haha true

So another Amir Khan fight..

Michael Gomez: sombrero, Irish flag, introduced as "Manchester's Own".

Utter massacre

khan down

belter of a fight this

Lovin' Gomez already. Please tell me his day job is as bouncer for some really rough estate pub.

what a combination from khan there

gomez down now

khan wins. what a fight

Khans inexperience showed, but his brilliance won in the end. Don't think that will be enough to win a world title yet though.

That was great

and we're back for one last Calzaghe fight. What time are we expecting them in the ring?

I dreamt last week that Calzaghe took Jones out in the first round. So not gonna happen.
I'm going for Calzaghe with a very late stoppage.

oops. Calzaghe with as good a start as he made against Hopkins.

Then wins the next 11 rounds. Good fight but neither boxer at his best. Calzaghe seems to have lost a bit of power or he's protecting his dodgy hands. Jones seems to have lost a bit of everything.

Rematch in Cardiff or Joe's retirement?

Rematch in Cardiff, because then I won't have to give up in a pathetic attempt to keep my eyes open until early o'clock.

David Haye fight on Setanta NOW

Prediction: Haye KO 4

Decent scrap this

BANG!

It has to be over

Cant believe the ref didnt stop that

Saved by the bell.

Looks like dom's prediction is on

That was a slip

Should have shoved a twenty on it

As much as I love the guy and wanna see him win every fucking HW belt going, I still think he has zero chin

there he goes

wow he got up

Ref had a fiver on it ending in the fifth, clearly

haha

haha wow Barrett hit him while Haye was down. He's gonna pay!

Can't remember if I've mentioned it here before, but I saw Haye's debut fight back on BBC2 in... 02? 03? Second year at uni anyway. The guy exuded star quality even then.

must be out this time

Stick a fork in it
