Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

Fury's fight for me, though he was hanging on there.

i say moral, that's probably not the right word here

nfw Klitschko loses a tight fight with the judges

wasnt that tight tho

yeah Klitschko did fuck all in maybe 8 rounds

holy shit!

wow

3, 3 and 4 rounds and that's with an extra point

gotta offer Klitschko the rematch i'd've thought

yeah Tyson i think Jesus wd've thrown more than that tbh

would rather Klitschko retired

Aye, get him back to a big English stadium or take it to the US xxxp

so proud of their little boy rn

our Elliot just posted: 'Don't want to miss a thing', except for any physical confrontation

"i'm the most avoided heavyweight in the world"

no way Fury holds this more than a couple of fights if he's lucky but at least he's unclogged the sink

Well done, the big man.

wow jacobs fuckin rocked quinlan

quillin i mean

stoppage was totally reasonable

wilder just brutally ko'd this polish dude

Nick Blackwell, he's hoping he comes out of this OK.

Chris Eubank entered the ring after the 8th and told his son to stop punching Blackwell's head or he'd end up hurt. Looks like the ref could/should have stopped it much earlier.

Yes, I'm hearing a lot of criticism of the refereeing.

Canelo ko as expected

GGG next? Money's on GGG

what a fantastic fight. well done AJ! Klitchsko is a real warrior. Why didnt he fight like that more often.

Hope there's a rematch

fucking stream failure caused me to miss the 5th/6th round knockdowns. But fuck me, that 11th round was like a shot of pure adrenaline.

were you watching on fb too?

No I don't have that, but someone shared a link on a football messageboard. It was ad-free and perfect for the first few rounds, but then kept lagging every few minutes. Thankfully not in the 11th though.

ahh, the one I saw was on fb and it stopped when Klitchsko first went down and didnt come back til round 7

Probably was the same link. Damn, would have been sorely tempted to pay up to lord of darkness if I knew it was going to be such an exciting fight.

Aye, we have sky sports but I grudge PPV but that fight was worth it.

Man, McGregor is going to get his ass kicked. Who's actually dumb enough to pay $100 for this?

Everyone. Splitting it w some friends tbf.

More legit excited for next Saturday's ESPN fight night, Crawford vs Indongo.

Lomachenko fight last weekend was awesome, dude is way entertaining. At one point just backed into the corner and motioned/dared Marriaga to come at him. Complete control.

saw Kellerman on a couple platforms give McGregor a "zero point zero" chance to win

will he last a round? two?

three is my call

rooting hard for the upset

Lotta sportsbooks will fold if McGregor wins. Rooting for him

is it too late for me to bet $100 on this or whatever? what are the odds? I get $120 back? it seems like free money

I don't get this:

It will be interesting to see how big McGregor looks tonight compared to Mayweather. At the weigh-in yesterday, McGregor checked in at 153 pounds and said that by fight time he would be “close to 170.”

1) How do you gain 20 pounds in a day? 2) What difference does sheer weight make?

the odds are around -460, meaning you have to wager 460 to win 100 back

ok, i'm calling 1-800-BOOKIE and getting in on this

i don't know much about boxing but it seems insane that anyone would think mcgregor would win. plus he seems like a major asshole

What time does this actually start? I kind of just want to know what happens as soon as it happens so I can get this stupid thing out of my mind already.

apparently the PPV starts at 9pm but the main event will not start until "much, much later"

I kind of feel like the only reason for the 5:1 and not 1000:1 odds is to risk for the fight being fixed.

Cuz otherwise I'm with you on the free money, would seem like a steal at 5:1

it's kind of insane to me that this is even happening, and even more insane that anyone thinks mcgregor will win
