WOW HBO dumps golden boy promotions

HBO free preview weekend and rematch of last year's best (or second best fight) tonight

this fight is going to kick ass

ok u convinced me i'm watching

rooting for alvarado just so we can have a trilogy

Rios' chin is really top of the line

oh my god

amazing stuff

12th round should lock it up for alvarado

that was so fucking unbelievable and all the Gatti-Ward comparisons are right on. Alvarado headed to hospital for CT scan hope nothing seriously wrong. That post-fight interview was great even. Jesus Christ what a total pleasure that fight was, just incredible.

yep. roy jones otm that these dudes should fight every quarter

alvarado really impressed me, hung in so well, great angles & short punches. i genuinely didnt think hed beat rios before the fight started

boxing really having a great year. Takayama-Rodriguez was as good as several previous fights of the year, but this year it'll have to settle for 3rd at best.

Donaire-Rigondeux on right now. First fight at Radio City since 2000. 1st round was awesome - not a brawl, just beautiful boxing.

next two were also great, all Rigondeaux for the most part. 4th round sucked

Rigo looks like the best fighter in the world, Donaire's effort is pathetic

reminder that Max Kellerman said Nonito Donaire was the greatest fighter he'd ever seen south of 126

Nonito is usually a much better fighter imo, though I think Rigondeaux gets the credit for making him look bad. All non-boxer commentators except Al Bernstein are horrible.

there's getting outboxed and then there's getting outboxed and giving up. Nonito just followed him around and let the first 8 rounds bleed away. His corner deserves some of the blame for not owning up to what was happening though.

kellerman has decent boxing commentatting cred no?

commentating

among people who don't know much about boxing, yes

ha well that's me. carry on

I love this guy

kellerman's not a total idiot, actually knows his shit imo but also knows what he has to do to stay viable as an on-air commentator i.e. be a dumbass.

my choices tonight were stay home to see canelo-trout or go out and see they live in 35mm and I'm goin' out. enjoy the fight, I don't see canelo's people giving him a fight he can't win

a lot of people are picking Trout, not sure I see it

I'm home in time to see it! stoked. conflicted - I don't love Canelo but popular fighters = good for the sport. A Trout win...well, he's not the guy who drew 40k to this arena. Still I'd sort of like him to pull a rabbit outta the hat here

unless canelo screws up, gets loose w/ his d, i dont think hes losing this

gave the 1st round to Trout but the 2nd to Alvarez

canelos right is really mean

& heavy

yeah it's granite. great round

well when they announced those joke scores after the 9th all the fun went right out of it

wtf Christodoulu

Twitter dudes goin in on WBC but Chriodoulu is a WBA judge!

anybody watchin' Maravilla tonight? or Khan earlier? Christ Khan can whine in that ring. He boxed well for the most part and earned the win but Jesus fuckin Christ he thinks people should be penalized for, you know, boxing with him

areola bleeding like a faucet

Bermane Stiverne is an all-time name

decision has to be stiverne, & surely

fuk this means don king still has a good fighter

ha right? that guy put on a decent show though

In his first bout in Britain for two years, the Bolton fighter was well on top until the fourth round, when he was floored by the Mexican's left hook.

I didn't see the fight but seriously how easy is Khan to peg with a left hook? Every time he's been in trouble in his career it's the same shot that gets him.

loving this shot

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67285000/jpg/_67285170_khan_diaz_getty.jpg

After being outworked by Khan in the first round, Diaz found his feet in the second, landing with a couple of flashing left hooks.

Diaz floored Khan with a left hook two minutes into the fourth

He stood up to a crashing left hook in the eighth

the 10th round was Diaz's, the veteran wobbling Khan with another crackerjack left hook

I think I see a pattern emerging.

big fight tonight. as a hater I'd love to call it for Guerrero but let's be honest, Floyd in 7
