Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

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

Killer bet tho. Bet 100 bucks, win yr son's college fumd

Isn't this basically the same thing? If $460 would bring a profit of $100, then $115 would bring a profit of $25.

McGregor dead yet?

undercard still

My bet is on a meteorite killing them both

McGregor is going to get his ass kicked

If the rules allowed kicking asses McGregor might have a better chance. As it is, he's stuck with having to box with his fists, poor guy.

crrrrrrrrrrashed

Looks like they're getting better at shutting down streams, I can't find any that work right now

Mayweather just back from a LARPing session

cant find a stream

https://m.betterscope.net/ - looks like a collection of livestreams now.

https://www.pscp.tv/w/1eaKbmYLgPXxX - this one works ... for now

gracias. I'm embarrassed to be curious but hey, nothing matters i guess

mayweather more or less yet to throw a punch in the first two rounds

vipleague link 8 has been perfect all night

I'm watching this on dis ting:

99e4657478e7b768ace5281ece419f9899e663e2

has macgregor landed one?

a few jabs but nothing major

Going to round 5

I don't watch much boxing but mayweather has barely thrown a punch and mcgregor looks very tired already. But he's also landed a few legitimate blows and dodged mayweather for the most part, so better than expected?

love this ref, pushing mayweather into his corner
