Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

Manny trying to get in more in the second round but i reckon Mayweather edged it

manny has had only one really good round thus far dang

hope the convicted wifebeater loses
--Hammer Smashed Bagels

otm

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed

manny no angel either but lesser of two weasels for sure

kinda seems like Mayweather hasn't been doing much but blocking and countering but it really feels like a UD for him so far

he's definitely landing more punches though

all the links are dead :/

and yet he still doesn't seem to actually be doing anything

watching a v stuttering stream in French, Mayweather fighting his game still mostly i think, Manny has to stop him, can't see Manny doing that

don't give a shit about the fight, but interesting that people are watching this via periscope

obviously Mayweather is a dogshit human being but holy shit @ the way he's defensing all these punches

I really hate myself for watching that. And it's 6am here

luckily I'm drunk

yeah this was exactly the result everyone expected, fuck this

glad i missed it tbh. this fight was interesting 8ish yrs ago

ESPN post fight coverage is embarrassing.

--Number None

alcohol integral to surviving that experience

terrible fight + was never going to go any other way

yea manny not fast enough on the attack anymore to avoid falling prey to the floyd defensive traps, v anticlimactic

My husband hits harder than mayweather #BoxingIsDead #MacPac #MayPac

Wow thanks for linking that garbage frogbs

did u think that was her account when u posted it

all these ignorant hicks bitching about Mayweather's power obv never saw the Hatton fight or any of the other 25 he's won by KO

Hatton was in 2007. He's had one KO since then.

thats about 1/3 diminishing explosivity and 2/3 tactical

crap fight but evident how much better a boxer he is than pacquaio, 'sweet science' dorks must have daydreams about his syncopated footwork

There's no doubt as time's gone on he's stayed outside more and protecting that zero became more important than stopping anyone.
Manny hasn't stopped anyone this decade - this was always going the distance and always going to Mayweather.

Mayweather has never had great power at any weight. His accuracy and timing presents a constant threat of a sustained beating and that's usually enough to keep people from taking risks.

He's not feather fisted tho, that's definitely an overstatement.

I haven't really noticed an increase in defensive focus from Mayweather. He was more cautious at 130 and 135 imp.

James "Mandingo Warrior" Kirkland

deonte is landing some BOMBS omg

lol fukkin announcer said "he goes down faster than a plate of alabama barbecue!!"

So who's good now? Cotto, Alvarez, GGG? Takes a lot of work to keep up given the lack of media coverage.

not cotto

GGG, Kovalev, Andre Ward, Roman Gonzalez, Juan Estrada, Rigondeaux

I don't really recommend watching Andre Ward tho

psyched for the action on ESPN tomorrow night

kovalevs right is incred

saw this earlier wow yes it was pretty brutal.

had to cut away before they stepped frame by frame into mohamedi getting his dome cracked, dude was dangerously outclassed

jim grey's 1st question to mayweather was "what would you like to have to eat that youve been denying yourself these past decades"

Fury's so no-hopey i feel like i'm watching a straight-to-vid Rocky spinoff

HBO commentator: "Father Time still undefeated, although I think Hopkins fought him to a draw recently."

lol "The Dark Tenor"???

this dude sang the national anthems

and Fury does more with his mouth than his fists first round. lol dick.

this is basically shit but the fact that Fury's dickery seems to be unsettling Klitschko is providing some gentle entertainment

fury is jittery as hell

probably in front tho

by all objective measure this fight has been a joke so far and yet

Missed the start of this. Terrible fight (terrible division). Fury edging it but won't get a decision when there's next to nothing in each round.
