This completely sucks. I really like Lamont Peterson but he's toast now - stylistically he's a much more interesting fighter than Khan imo. Oh well. Dumb athletes can't seem to stay off the juice so to hell with them

something about that fight stunk, but i didn't expect to find out he was on performance enhancing drugs for it too. Boxing doesnt need that kinda shit right now. Its stock has never been lower. Very sad and hope its not widespread.

goddamit, I don't want to root for Pretty Boy Floyd if they ever fight

Convicted repeat woman-beater vs homophobe. It's a tough choice.

Djibril Citté (onimo), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 17:57 (fourteen years ago)

hmm yeah think the convicted repeat woman-beater is probably just a bit worse than the fundie moron

I realized the other day that 99.9999% of the reason I hate floyd is because he's ducking Manny, so in some universe in which he wasn't ducking him I really wouldn't have a problem rooting for him.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 19 May 2012 00:12 (fourteen years ago)

Manny's pretty bullshit these days anyway but if you read Ryan Songalia in re: the paper that "broke" that Pacquiao story, it's pretty shady

I'm not gonna get up in arms about him opposing gay marriage considering how many of the greatest boxers and how many of my favorite boxers were basically sociopaths.

Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 19 May 2012 01:53 (fourteen years ago)

David Price looked terrific vs. Sexton, hard to argue he's not the top heavyweight prospect.

Matt Armstrong, Sunday, 20 May 2012 02:21 (fourteen years ago)

fantastic atmosphere in Nottingham.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:03 (fourteen years ago)

i dont think ive ever heard anything like this in 20 years

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:05 (fourteen years ago)

bookies dont give Froch a chance at all

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:14 (fourteen years ago)

after that round they might be wrong. What a round.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:31 (fourteen years ago)

Bute's legs look dodgy.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:36 (fourteen years ago)

All over. What a performance by Froch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:37 (fourteen years ago)

He's given Bute a real doing here.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:38 (fourteen years ago)

if you get the chance to watch this then please do so. What a performance by Froch. As good as i've seen in britain in years. it surpassed the atmosphere!

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:43 (fourteen years ago)

btw who is buying Smithy this?

Everyones saying thats up there with *that* Hatton fight and im inclined to agree

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 26 May 2012 23:53 (fourteen years ago)

I missed this, wasn't being shown where I'm at but BadLeftHook's account of it suggests it was a master class by Froch

cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 27 May 2012 01:52 (fourteen years ago)

it was. He was devastating.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 27 May 2012 11:00 (fourteen years ago)

After his impressive battering of Bute, he said: 'Fighting like that, I'd beat anybody in my weight division. There's nobody that can touch me. If I catch Ward on the chin with some of the shots like I landed on Bute, it's game over. It's a simple as that.

'Andre Ward had a good night and Carl Froch had a bad night and that's the reason he won that fight.

Éden Éden Éden / H.A.Z.A.R.D (nakhchivan), Sunday, 27 May 2012 22:50 (fourteen years ago)

apart from the weird third person, i didn't see that at all, ward just looked a lot better

Éden Éden Éden / H.A.Z.A.R.D (nakhchivan), Sunday, 27 May 2012 22:51 (fourteen years ago)

he did but anyone can have an offnight. Plus Froch says he didn't stick to his plan.

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 27 May 2012 22:58 (fourteen years ago)

Bute took such a beating id expect him to retire as i dont think a fighter can recover from such a hiding. The referee couldve stopped it earlier.

Paul "The Punisher" Williams, on the comeback trail after that very memorable KO by Sergio Martinez, was in a motorcycle accident today and is likely paralyzed from the waist down. He is said to be in good spirits considering the gravity of his injuries; obviously he won't be fighting Alvarez in September. He gets surgery on Wednesday, let's think good thoughts for that.

Also, Johnny Tapia died. Sad stuff.

cosi fan whitford (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Monday, 28 May 2012 22:35 (fourteen years ago)

tapia was a wild dude. this always felt like an inevitable outcome, unfortunately

Hungry4Ass, Monday, 28 May 2012 22:53 (fourteen years ago)

fuck thats sad re: paul williams

"Something like this is so outlandish, it's a death knell for the sport. This is f------ nuts. I have both guys, and I'll make a lot of money in the rematch, but it's ridiculous. You have these old f---- who don't know what the hell they're looking at. It's incompetence. Nobody who knows anything about boxing could have Bradley ahead in the fight."

two weeks pass...

Amir Khan vs. Danny Garcia tonight. Amir Khan seems like a really fucking unpleasant person to me, his press conference post-Peterson was just ugggghhhh, but he'll probably win.

perry en concrète (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Saturday, 14 July 2012 14:58 (thirteen years ago)

i sort of like him

he's def a toerag tho....record of dangerous driving convictions

nakhchivan, Saturday, 14 July 2012 15:01 (thirteen years ago)

He's a chinny sore losing fuck but is great to watch.

Missing Haye vs Chisora tonight - was hoping one would have just decked the other at the weigh in tbh. Damming indictment of the heavyweights that one of these clowns might get another title shot.

you can't stream a pancake (onimo), Saturday, 14 July 2012 19:10 (thirteen years ago)

great first round

perry en concrète (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Sunday, 15 July 2012 03:26 (thirteen years ago)

Khan dirtier in round 2 but still dominant. 20-18 Khan according to me so far
