Floyd lost what, one, two rounds top? Dominant as always.

Floyd knocked them all out of his words. Not enough $$ left to buy a vowel
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 6 May 2012 04:47 (eleven years ago) link
that was a sweet fight until cotto gassed. rounds 4-6 belonged to him imo

take away all the bullshit and just look at his style and you just can't deny Mayweather. That was a tremendous performance, gauged Cotto almost perfectly. Cotto came to fight & did pretty well although I think Mayweather's accuracy in early rounds has a Tyson-like effect on his opponents: he scares them out of throwing their best punches because their instincts quickly tell them "that will leave you open, if you're open Floyd will land at least one." I gave 4-6 to Cotto too, but not super-decisively except for 4.
Alvarez looked really good, I love Shane a lot & always love fighters who just want to keep going but he needs to hear the message the scorecards are sending him & step down. Get into training imo, he could become a great trainer

The traditional home of boxing, um, Luxembourg, have sanctioned a Haye vs Chisora fight to be held in Britain despite neither boxer having a British licence.

This completely sucks. I really like Lamont Peterson but he's toast now - stylistically he's a much more interesting fighter than Khan imo. Oh well. Dumb athletes can't seem to stay off the juice so to hell with them
― cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Thursday, 10 May 2012 01:43 (eleven years ago) link
something about that fight stunk, but i didn't expect to find out he was on performance enhancing drugs for it too. Boxing doesnt need that kinda shit right now. Its stock has never been lower. Very sad and hope its not widespread.

Convicted repeat woman-beater vs homophobe. It's a tough choice.

hmm yeah think the convicted repeat woman-beater is probably just a bit worse than the fundie moron

I realized the other day that 99.9999% of the reason I hate floyd is because he's ducking Manny, so in some universe in which he wasn't ducking him I really wouldn't have a problem rooting for him.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 19 May 2012 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
Manny's pretty bullshit these days anyway but if you read Ryan Songalia in re: the paper that "broke" that Pacquiao story, it's pretty shady

I'm not gonna get up in arms about him opposing gay marriage considering how many of the greatest boxers and how many of my favorite boxers were basically sociopaths.

David Price looked terrific vs. Sexton, hard to argue he's not the top heavyweight prospect.

fantastic atmosphere in Nottingham.

after that round they might be wrong. What a round.

Bute's legs look dodgy.

All over. What a performance by Froch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:37 (eleven years ago) link
He's given Bute a real doing here.
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:38 (eleven years ago) link
if you get the chance to watch this then please do so. What a performance by Froch. As good as i've seen in britain in years. it surpassed the atmosphere!

Everyones saying thats up there with *that* Hatton fight and im inclined to agree

I missed this, wasn't being shown where I'm at but BadLeftHook's account of it suggests it was a master class by Froch

it was. He was devastating.

After his impressive battering of Bute, he said: 'Fighting like that, I'd beat anybody in my weight division. There's nobody that can touch me. If I catch Ward on the chin with some of the shots like I landed on Bute, it's game over. It's a simple as that.
'Andre Ward had a good night and Carl Froch had a bad night and that's the reason he won that fight.

apart from the weird third person, i didn't see that at all, ward just looked a lot better
― Éden Éden Éden / H.A.Z.A.R.D (nakhchivan), Sunday, 27 May 2012 22:51 (eleven years ago) link
he did but anyone can have an offnight. Plus Froch says he didn't stick to his plan.
― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 27 May 2012 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
Bute took such a beating id expect him to retire as i dont think a fighter can recover from such a hiding. The referee couldve stopped it earlier.

Paul "The Punisher" Williams, on the comeback trail after that very memorable KO by Sergio Martinez, was in a motorcycle accident today and is likely paralyzed from the waist down. He is said to be in good spirits considering the gravity of his injuries; obviously he won't be fighting Alvarez in September. He gets surgery on Wednesday, let's think good thoughts for that.
