Rolling Boxing Thread / Anticipating Manny vs. Mayweather

lol the 'how do you feel right now' question drives me crazy too

Q: how do you feel right now?

A: Are you speaking of these nasty welts and bruises and the fact that my teeth hurt or did you mean something more ethereal?

lol

"walk us through how it feels to become champion of the world" is I think an exact phrasing I've heard on this once. haaaaaaate it

wtf khan

he actually asks him the same question twice

list of thanks include notable boxing figures like golden boy promotiongs, god, his mum, and the city of philadelphia

khan has crazy offensive skills but not much heart really it seems like, he just wilts when somebody finds a way to counter him

it looked like he was gone after the 2nd knockdown there

i think he has enough heart but no sense of timing or patience at all, he would never have lost any of his fights if he had a bit more caution and sense

in a way this might help him cuz if he got mayweather (was that every going to happen idk) he would have got schooled

Despite dominating the fight against an old blind man he still hung his chin out for the left hook again. He makes for excellent viewing but I maintain his chin will be his undoing. When Willie Limond is flooring you with hooks you know you've got problems.

I was just watching some footage of Khan warming up in his dressing room and he's slipped a few left hooks - seems he's finally got round to looking at his own weaknesses.

Not sure I can stay awake for it :(

Looks like he forgot about those left hooks again. He's game and powerful and fast and exciting to watch but any half decent counter-puncher will get a few goes at that left hook that's been flooring Khan since he was a kid.

ward is owning chad dawson

wait nick cannon is the ring announcer

that was a really impressive performance from Ward. I hate his grappling style, but he appears on the road to being a great one.

yeah, Ward is for real

RIP manny steward. I'll never forget him charging into the ring after he led McCall to that KO over Lewis.

heavy RIP to a giant

rip carmen basilio

OH SMACK ALFREDO ANGULO

that was unbelievable

fuck a hatton comeback

otm

hatton ko'd

cdn't bring myself to watch, felt like somehow encouraging him

please Ricky let it go now, remember the good times

ricky hatton fans :/

why the fuck couldn't they do a lancastrian chancer twofer and get him in the ring with flintoff

in actual boxing news, rip camacho

shit i didn't know he'd been shot :(

oh man hatton on his side post ko is the best

only way that ko could be better if itd been mid-chant

lol how do you really feel about him johnny c

Christ almighty Keith Thurman punches hard

12 rd was kindof a slopfest w/ lampley blathering superlatives over it but p good fight, berto-guerrero

very very good fight. Guerrero fights pretty dirty but dirty fighting's part of the game. Berto's right to whine about the ref though, pretty shady imo. but man, fantastic fight from start to finish. otm re lampley but I've made my peace with him, I think he's just a legit fan who's a little too into THE STORIES!! - he does that pretty much every round 12 he calls

lol @ flintoff boxing. he's got an alright jab but I'm not sure about him patting his opponent at close range. thats not going to ko anyone imo.

TONIGHT:

Fury v Johnson so far... isn't great. Johnson looking very unimpressive, Fury is being 'sensible' and has won all three rounds so far very easily.

who's in

I'm in a dressing room in Phoenix and will not have access to a broadcast. I know I could watch ustream or whatever but I just get frustrated with the buffering and shit so it's no fight card for me tonight.

have you tried thefirstrow.eu? i can usually find at least one stream there that is pretty passable...

seems to be telling me I need to use its own app to watch?

no, there's jsut a bunch of popups and shit that try to trick you into making the clicky.

the #3 stream is working well for me

yeah I got it back here now, thanks for this man! if you're up for more problem solving I'm also depressed

haha aero

this miguel vazquez fight will prob. not cure the depression

no it is exacerbating the matter considerably actually

rommmmsssas

lol

classic Arum undercard!

lol what the fuck
