Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

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

fantastic atmosphere in Nottingham.

i dont think ive ever heard anything like this in 20 years

bookies dont give Froch a chance at all

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

Bute's legs look dodgy.

All over. What a performance by Froch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's given Bute a real doing here.

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!

btw who is buying Smithy this?

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

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.

Also, Johnny Tapia died. Sad stuff.

tapia was a wild dude. this always felt like an inevitable outcome, unfortunately

fuck thats sad re: paul williams

oh man I hope this is true

FUCK BOXING LMAO

BOXING'S FUNERAL WAS HELD TONIGHT

did pacquiao lose bc god loves fags or was the fix rly in iLX i look to you

"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. You have these old f---- who don't know what the hell they're looking at. It's incompetence. Nobody who knows anything about boxing could have Bradley ahead in the fight."

RIP Teofilo Stevenson

Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia tonight. Amir Khan seems like a really fucking unpleasant person to me, his press conference post-Peterson was just ugggghhhh, but he'll probably win.

i sort of like him

he's def a toerag tho....record of dangerous driving convictions

He's a chinny sore losing fuck but is great to watch.

Missing Haye vs Chisora tonight - was hoping one would have just decked the other at the weigh in tbh. Damming indictment of the heavyweights that one of these clowns might get another title shot.

great first round

Khan dirtier in round 2 but still dominant. 20-18 Khan according to me so far

AMAZING surprise 3rd round knockdown by Garcia!! he was getting his hat handed to him and then put Khan on his ass!!!

counterpunching...the sweetest

standing knockdown at top of round 4. Khan's in trouble

Khan showed incredible heart for the rest of that round but got knocked down again and couldn't answer Bayliss satisfactorily on the "are you OK?" fucking brilliant performance by Garcia against Khan who looked in the 1st round like he was going to take out Garcia by the middle of the fight at the latest

hope no one was hurt by the flying glass

seriously wish this tendency of interviewers at matches & super bowls & world series post-games to ask "how do you feel right now?" would end, or that athletes would say "I feel terrible...so much death in the world" or something. "How do you feel right now?" fuckin ugh

Khan-Garcia = Rosario-Ramirez II

MAIDANA-GARCIA PLZ

I think to keep the Ring belt he has to fight Zab Judah right? zzzz

oh wait no! they changed that in May! that kinda sucks

lol the 'how do you feel right now' question drives me crazy too

Q: how do you feel right now?

A: Are you speaking of these nasty welts and bruises and the fact that my teeth hurt or did you mean something more ethereal?
