Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

vitaly is fuckin nasty

Must've been streaming the Froch fight last night cos I found this:

Dear Carl Froch

Please punch tthat bloke in the face real hard else you lose

love
Noodle

in some random film thread.

Piecing that together I'm guessing he was lucky to win it on points but hey who knows? I'm loving how none of his world title bouts have been a walk in the park so far but he keeps edging them.

Tomorrow night on ESPN, Mohammed and Larry. Looks compelling and sad.

wow, a points win in Germany.

and with a broken hand from the 3rd round onwards

haha got to 'view' this in the pub with no visuals just sound, like the good old days

None of our locals were showing the match, the tight bastards. Can't believe it went 12 tbh

lol what the hell is santos wearing

good fight this. i dunno if i can stay up for the main fight though, its 3.10am here

John Lithgow appears to be refereeing the Foreman/Santos bout. No dancing in the ring!

I'm a little surprised it went the distance - Santos just looked terrible all fight, and I ain't talking about his ringwear.

Anyway, time for another exciting JCC Jr squash.

Jim Watt thinks Chavez jr's defence is deplorable and doesn't fancy him as a middleweight due to lack of punching power.

sod it im off to bed.

its nearly 5am and i ended up staying up to watch it. Hope it was worth it.

One of the worst undercards I've seen in a while, but I'm really really stoked for this fight (on paper anyway).

prediction?

Cotto looks like he can outpunch Pacquiao all night if he has to. Trying to find a live line - Cotto was as much of a 3-1 dog prefight, which I thought even then was a little long.

Pacquiao looked much more confident in R2, and just got a (kinda screwy) knockdown in R3.

excellent fight so far.

Yeah, the style contrast has been super fun to watch, esp since Cotto's much faster than I expected him to look.

I think Pacquiao will win but if the fight goes on into the later rounds who knows. If it finishes early I reckon Pacquiao will win.

if it does go into the later rounds it will be a classic

Cotto down. i think its over

he made the bell

this wont last another 30 seconds.

when will people realize pac man is indestructible

im sure mayweather will disagree

I will cover that action if that fight ever happens

Pacquiao's power/speed in this class is fucking ridiculous.

wish I weren't trapped in a dressing room "watching" the fight on Yahoo live blog tbh

im just glad a good fight isnt ppv over here for a change.

xp - i don't even want to admit what i had to do to get a good quality stream of this working on a mac

anyway cotto's starting to look really exhausted which obv doesn't bode well, whereas pacman looks like he could probably fight another guy after this fight if he wanted to

maybe another guy at the same time

surprised he lasted that round

wonder if the corner will throw the towel in

cotto looks fucking terrible - badly cut and swollen, gassed, barely punching at all

his cornerman saying "i'll give you one more round"

corner evidently now giving him two more rounds (eesh)

Cotto has a lot of guts for hanging on so far

Ref stops it

seriously about ten minutes too late

he's playing a gig with his band later tonight lol
