Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

I'm home in time to see it! stoked. conflicted - I don't love Canelo but popular fighters = good for the sport. A Trout win...well, he's not the guy who drew 40k to this arena. Still I'd sort of like him to pull a rabbit outta the hat here

unless canelo screws up, gets loose w/ his d, i dont think hes losing this

gave the 1st round to Trout but the 2nd to Alvarez

canelos right is really mean

& heavy

yeah it's granite. great round

well when they announced those joke scores after the 9th all the fun went right out of it

wtf Christodoulu

Twitter dudes goin in on WBC but Chriodoulu is a WBA judge!

anybody watchin' Maravilla tonight? or Khan earlier? Christ Khan can whine in that ring. He boxed well for the most part and earned the win but Jesus fuckin Christ he thinks people should be penalized for, you know, boxing with him

areola bleeding like a faucet

Bermane Stiverne is an all-time name

decision has to be stiverne, & surely

fuk this means don king still has a good fighter

ha right? that guy put on a decent show though

In his first bout in Britain for two years, the Bolton fighter was well on top until the fourth round, when he was floored by the Mexican's left hook.

I didn't see the fight but seriously how easy is Khan to peg with a left hook? Every time he's been in trouble in his career it's the same shot that gets him.

loving this shot

After being outworked by Khan in the first round, Diaz found his feet in the second, landing with a couple of flashing left hooks.

Diaz floored Khan with a left hook two minutes into the fourth

He stood up to a crashing left hook in the eighth

the 10th round was Diaz's, the veteran wobbling Khan with another crackerjack left hook

I think I see a pattern emerging.

big fight tonight. as a hater I'd love to call it for Guerrero but let's be honest, Floyd in 7

undercard good so far! Rosado-J'Leon was a terrific fight, Santa Cruz phone booth match with Munoz was rock 'em sock 'em, Mares is fighting a half-clean fight with De Leon

mayweather's defense is just a thing of beauty to watch

even though/because it seemed like he spent half the last couple rounds with his guard dropped just kind of blinking at guerrero as he telegraphed another one

mayweather's defense is just a thing of beauty to watch

it's gotten even better imo - multiple looks, the shoulder roll, textbook evade-and-respond, just tremendous.

OTM. Moreover, it wasn’t a detriment to his offense. His energy is uncanny.

I watched a few El Canelo bouts on YouTube last night. I really hope a Mayweather-Canelo fight materializes in Septemeber.

lol have you guys seen this? it's actually not bad

fuck me ricky burns has some heart to comeback and win that. Helluva battle

Ricky Burns fight was weird - he was second to every punch all fight, got pummelled in R7 and looked ready to fall over then won two good rounds and Gonzalez refused to leave his stool. Shame really as it looked set for a cracking finish - all down to conditioning I suppose, maybe Gonzalez just ran out of energy.

Anyone see John Simpson's fight? Any good?

oh wait they're saying Gonzalez broken his wrist

his legs had gone too though. You could see the work they were doing on them. He wouldn't have lasted the distance.

mathysse vs. olusegun right about to start. should be good!

great action in the 1st round so tune this one in if you get a chance

olusegun ajose I should say

round 2 was a 10-8 for mathysse, I'll be surprised if this goes two more, that was brutal

lebedev done got hit

Jesus

don king looks great for 81

Christ Almighty that Matthysse-Ajose fight was game as hell

His corner obviously did yeoman's work to keep that eye from closing.

lol that fight I was watching last night was from a year ago. matthyse is fighting tonight

well that was quick

floyd needs to start working on the Matthysse excuses

yeah I think Matthysse makes pretty short work of Danny Garcia but how many fights you think Floyd has left?

I think he has at least 3 and honestly I think he fights much longer than that. But the Showtime hype is that he's gonna fight a ton, 6 fight contract IIRC.

btw Mosley is fighting Cano on fox deportes right now. Kinda sad to see but also a fun fight.

yeah he's supposed to fight in September. Alvarez? I give Alvarez a decent chance in that fight actually, if the Martinez fight didn't take too much out of him.

I'm gonna turn on Mosley-Cano but I'm gonna be sorry, Shane needs to get out of the ring.

Floyd has demanded Canelo fight at 147, so that fight is never happening.

kessler / froch

turd set of slebs

Floyd-Canelo is on for October

at 152 catchweight! I will be at fucking sea when the fight takes place and will miss it. no complaints about my life except fuck missing this fight, which is a genuinely exciting fight.
