Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

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

Adrien Broner's web series is the worst

golovkin is kinda scary; wish he was younger

he looked incredibly good. Like a middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

Steve Kim ‏@stevemaxboxing 9m

I asked Lou DiBella, when do we make the GGG-Martinez fight;"We don't. This guys an animal." Hey, he's being honest #boxing

DiBella a few hours ago:

pretty good card on espn2 tonight - Mike Tyson's debut as promoter. first thing he did was walk unannounced into the broadcast area to apologize to Teddy Atlas and ask his forgiveness. Mike's psychic state is just so raw, his interview later was 1/2 AA/NA textbook and 1/2 evident soul-searching - when the interviewer asks "what one fight defined you?" he said "no one fight but if people want to understand Mike Tyson, the Buster Douglas fight to now." Said it twice. I'm always wanting for Tyson to redeem himself, to get the peace he clearly needs, though he's still unrepentant about his rape conviction I guess. but if he's talking to Teddy, jeez, anything could happen.

the fights themselves aren't huge names but they're good matchups. mendez v. usmanee right now is a tall guy vs a short guy but they're going at it phonebooth style, it's really good.

canelo ~5/2 seems surprisingly short

money mayweather

haye/fury >>>>

imo provodnikov/alvarado >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

johnny crunch otm. guess who'll be working where he literally will be completely unable to view the fight that night? me.

I like Canelo's chances but when Floyd got staggered by that giant Cotto punch we saw how strong his resolve is to not get beat. he's just so smart. we'll see.
