Official Boxing Thread

It's a boxing thread and no one has commented on my remarks about the Geale and Barker fight - intersecting!v 🙁

I must have missed that fight. I mostly watch Showtime Boxing. I'm looking out for the Mayweather vs. Canelo match.

Who do you all think is gonna win?

It was on HBO.

Hopefully Canelo win and it's on the 14th of September isn't it?

Yep and I hope Canelo wins too.

About the HBO Legendary Nights series, what other matches you people think they should do? My pick would be:

Gatti-Ward (which is gonna happen)
Barrera-Morales
Trinidad-Hopkins
De La Hoya-Vargas
Mayweather-Hatton
Pacquiao-Marquez
Cotto-Margarito

Well, Mayweather won again! Dang it! 😠 I think Alvarez fought a pretty smart fight. If only he just blocked better...

Well, anyway, credits to both fighters for their performance.

Floyd too fast for Canelo.

I guess this leaves Manny Pacquiao (if he isn't washed up) and Timothy Bradley.

Oh yeah and speaking of, I think some more matches will make good HBO Legendary Nights episodes

Maybe it should be Mayweather-Judah instead of Mayweather-Hatton.

Maybe both. That would be about 10 episodes so:

Gatti-Ward
Barrera-Morales
Mayweather-Judah
Trinidad-Hopkins
De La Hoya-Vargas
Mayweather-Hatton
Pacquiao-Marquez
Cotto-Margarito
Jones-Tarver
Pacquiao-Bradley

Who do people think is next for Mayweather? Or should be next for Mayweather?

Until I see evidence that Pacquiao is "washed up" (like some people love to claim), I'm still gonna say he's the best matchup for Mayweather.

Others think it's probably Danny Garcia but I think he needs to work on his speed.

I watched the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Bryan Vera match...and yeah, what a robbery. Chavez didn't deserve the win. Vera did the most work and landed the most punches, yet Chavez (who mostly kept complaining to the referee) was given the win? That kind of stuff pisses me off! I guess that's what happens you got a name that big in boxing. Still, everyone know what really happened, even Chavez, his corner, and his fans. This is nothing he should be proud of.

They really need to get rid of those corrupted judges.

Mundine (Choc) Vs Mosley

23th October, 2013.

I played rubgy league with choc and also sparred with him.

http://www.smh.com.au/sport/boxing/anthony-mundine-and-shane-mosley-plan-on-beating-a-path-to-floyd-mayweather-20131009-2v8pu.html

I reckon Mosley will win. TKO in 9.

You know, after seeing the end of Pacquiao-Marquez 4 in slow motion, I'm wondering did anyone else noticed that Marquez stepped on Pacquiao's foot during the KO?

You know, it's funny how Marquez is screaming "robbery" after his loss to Bradley. He needs to accept his loss. It's bad enough he only knocked out Pacquiao with a lucky punch but now he's complaining about losing to a guy who many people say Pacquiao had beaten and was robbed against? This isn't making him look good.

Still, I hope this'll shut people up about that KO.

Mike Alvarado vs. Ruslan Provodnikov was a pretty brutal match last night, like I expected. Still, a pretty good match though. Alvarado hung in there until he knew when to quit. That just shows how tough he is.

Provodnikov is a beast! He put up two good matches this year (against Bradley and Alvarado). I kind of want to see him fight Brandon Rios next.

Bernard Hopkins wins another match at 48 years old. His match last night was actually entertaining too. I think he was trying to get that knockout, though.

What do people think of the upcoming Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana match?

Broner is a pretty arrogant guy, but he does have by far the quicker hands. If Maidana gets reckless Broner can get the ko. I see a decision for Broner.

I don't know why people always say that. I just can't picture Broner beating Maidana.

Also, have you see how Broner looks now?

He sure won't get the win if he goes in there out of shape against a guy like Maidana. Not that I have a problem with that. 😄 I'm just glad this isn't PPV anymore.

Doesn't mean too much when you're rugged guy like him. You can have some poundage and actually be harder to beat or hurt.
