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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

he did but anyone can have an offnight. Plus Froch says he didn't stick to his plan.

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.

"Something like this is so outlandish, it's a death knell for the sport. This is f------ nuts. I have both guys, and I'll make a lot of money in the rematch, but it's ridiculous.
