Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

tko

cut

but he sounds as though he was hammering him anyway so it doesnt matter really. Khan haters (there's loads on 606) will still say how Barrera was past it etc

It doesnt matter if you dont have a chin if you dont get it

*Hit

Actually its gone to a technical decision on points

and khan wins all 4 completed rounds

Barrera couldn't see because of the cut. I still think Khan would have won it though.

Despite dominating the fight against an old blind man he still hung his chin out for the left hook again. He makes for excellent viewing but I maintain his chin will be his undoing. When Willie Limond is flooring you with hooks you know you've got problems.

2341: Don King is claiming that the "head butt" from Khan in the first round is what cost Barrera the fight. But even before that Khan had Barrera rattled. I still think Khan would have done the job, perhaps the fight would have gone on a bit later though. Oh and replays show that the "head butt" was an accidental clash of heads.

Joe Calzaghe, friend to cyberbully victims.

looking fwd to winky v. williams

the O'Donnell vs Watson tonight was a classic.

Sounds like Froch could be about to lose his title here. Well done British TV companies for supporting him btw.

OMG He's stopped him in the 12th. AWESOME.

So that sounds like a terrible fight that we didn't deserve to watch, eh?

lol Froch's post-bout interview demeanour best described as "confident".

or as Duke Mackenzie just put it, "delusional".

knowing nothing about boxing, the dude who was destined to win got cuffed in the last round. This was exciting as fuck to the novice. He knew he was going to lose on points so he went buck-wild.

I had to listen to it on the radio cos our TV stations are shit but it sounded a great fight.

This was really awesome boxing. I've never seen the guy who owned the whole bout get his face put in in the last round. This was amazing.

Well I really mean the opposite. The guy who got owned the whole bout put the other man's face in.

Irony is Sky will be all over Hatton taking a right pummelling next week.

Pac-man in 6 I reckon.

if it goes past the 6th hatton has no chance

not paying to watch it,dont like PPV. we already subscribe to sky so wont pay them again an extra £15

Nah me neither. Didn't want to go to a pub and I'm not stopping up to listen to the radio either, it's gonna be 5 o'clock time I reckon.

yeah im not staying up.

hattons gonna get his fookin ass kicked imo

biggest hype to competitativeness ratio in as long as i can remember

i always assume most PPV fights will be a slaughter like that.

Caught couple mins of Tyson-Buster Douglas '90 tonight tho!

lol

RIP

Haha I overestimated Ricky's chin by 4 rounds.

Somebody predicted to me in six, and I thought no way, he can take that beating till the ninth at least.

Well I know he went 10 with Mayweather but Pacquiao throws a lot more punches than Mayweather I think.

I was thinking his chin would be better than De la Hoya's at this stage from age and size.

Think he badly underestimated Pac's power too.

ROCK STAR

Nah, cunt more like.

"I think I should like to knock you out... here"

I think Manny Pacquiao is an actual honest to goodness bad ass boxer, not just some dude that has collected some belts. It is too bad boxing is so screwed up they never let the good people fight.

I would have loved to see the dude fight back in the 80s when he would have been fighting guys like Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Aaron Pryor, Wilfredo Benitz, Roberto Duran, etc.

Alexis Arguello RIP

Man, I can remember listening to the Jim Watt vs Alexis Arguello fight on the radio.

And so apparently Arturo Gatti's been found dead from a head injury with the police treating it as suspicious...

what the fuck

all i could find

"There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," she said, adding that his wife and son were unhurt.

Anyone watching the stuff on ITV4? Jon Thaxton is under some serious pressure in what I think is just meant to be a keep-busy fight here with Tom Glover...

And he's dropped the decision! Crikey. Heck of a fight.
