if they're gonna give someone totally undeserving a title shot here, can it at least be someone exciting?

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 03:55 (fourteen years ago)

hbo should pay us for watching this

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:14 (fourteen years ago)

timothy bradley got 1 million dollars for that farce, wtf are arum and HBO thinking?

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:21 (fourteen years ago)

how many countries in the world actually have good national anthems? 5? 6?

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:40 (fourteen years ago)

I'm pretty excited here.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:42 (fourteen years ago)

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:46 (fourteen years ago)

srsly make Jim Lampley stop with THIS IS THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE tho, and send Bob Costas a text that says FUCK YOU FOR SCREWING UP SPORTS BROADCASTING FOREVER

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:49 (fourteen years ago)

and while I'm kvetching fuck these 20-minute ringwalks

um is this the lead singer of Survivor?

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:52 (fourteen years ago)

yeah...he didn't survive

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 04:53 (fourteen years ago)

marquez's face marking up very easily

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:01 (fourteen years ago)

I gave round 2 to Marquez

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:04 (fourteen years ago)

I'll give 2 to JMM but maybe I'm being nice

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:04 (fourteen years ago)

compubox shows round 2 pretty much even with more power shots for marquez

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:05 (fourteen years ago)

two right hooks give 3 to manny

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:08 (fourteen years ago)

finally signs of the Manny I love in that round, the one who when you hit him comes back with rapid combos

MODS DID 10/11 (k3vin k.), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:11 (fourteen years ago)

Manny seems content to win close rounds, strangely

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:13 (fourteen years ago)

I think Lampley's actually otm - manny's taking his time to get marquez's timing down

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:13 (fourteen years ago)

lol or not! nice round for jmm

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:16 (fourteen years ago)

JMM just not active enough for me.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:20 (fourteen years ago)

4-2 manny

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:21 (fourteen years ago)

loool marquez fans singing "cielito lindo"

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:22 (fourteen years ago)

4-3 manny, destined for another controversial decision.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:24 (fourteen years ago)

5-3 manny, 8th is a biiig swing round

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:28 (fourteen years ago)

I feel like JMM would be winning this if he could just put more energy into each round

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:29 (fourteen years ago)

yeah I'm calling it close to even right now. manny really oughta let his hands go a little more

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:29 (fourteen years ago)

classic round, 6-3 manny for me

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:32 (fourteen years ago)

scoring round 9 even seems fine too

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:32 (fourteen years ago)

oh man that's what makes these fights worth it, that was exactly the hit-and-get-hit manny stuff for sure

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:33 (fourteen years ago)

manny's winning the fight now

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:36 (fourteen years ago)

manny is incredible, the greatest stamina since aaron pryor

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:38 (fourteen years ago)

honestly I can see the judges giving this to marquez

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:40 (fourteen years ago)

this is a fight where compubox really tells the story imo

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:41 (fourteen years ago)

JMM doesn't deserve the fight after that 12th.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:44 (fourteen years ago)

calling it now a split decision & lots of cup throwing from the crowd

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:45 (fourteen years ago)

should have bet the draw

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:46 (fourteen years ago)

manny looked rusty to me to be honest, he should maybe quit while he's ahead - those big flurries of fury that he made his bones on weren't really ever in evidence, not at the old level anyway

unlistenable in philly (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:49 (fourteen years ago)

yeah the manny era may be over, which is strange since the speed seems to be there? maybe his heart not in the game

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:50 (fourteen years ago)

imo a lot of the reason people seem to think manny loses these fights with jmm is that manny's defense involves a lot of flopping around that makes dumb people think he got rocked. But judges see he didn't actually get hit.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:52 (fourteen years ago)

everyone on the net seems to think jmm got robbed, really weird. It was a very close fight, come on.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 05:55 (fourteen years ago)

I really think that's it - he's unimaginably wealthy, he's got this legendary entourage surrounding him at all times, he's involved in politics, he's been doing this for a long time in boxing years & has kept pretty busy - he's gotta be exhausted, he's certainly not hungry. his speed is just gorgeous to watch, but the joy with which he used to attack - or if not joy, the engagement, the passion - that's missing.

everyone on the net seems to think jmm got robbed, really weird.

floyd's anti-manny campaign in the press has been really effective in the u.s. imo, longtime boxing fans who I used to respect are vocal manny haters now, never give him a round, talk down his skills, it's ridiculous

meanwhile here's this margarito-cotto faceoff thing...margarito's such a classic bad guy, he's much better at coming off mad & evil than lots of guys who look like they're trying harder. margarito will destroy cotto imo

boxing has enough problems without people inventing "robberies" in every close fight. It seems to be a worsening problem...

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 13 November 2011 06:17 (fourteen years ago)

hbo should pay us for watching this

well, that's when I start watching boxing again.

fell asleep :-| gon' check it later

yeah it's getting really old how if there's a decision, at all, people get mad. it's childish. still I gotta say, Pacquiao could have put more into that fight; kinda wish he'd gotten knocked down, he fights best when somebody brings the fight to him. Marquez gave what he has left I think.
