Geezous, I was nearly falling asleep in that match until maybe rd 8 and 9. Hearing that guy BOO them in the crowd was great. All the build up and hype to a sleeper match that really, everything up to rd 9, DID NOT MATTER. All it took was 1 punch that didn't even require wearing Oscar down since he didn't see it coming. Couldn't he have landed that in the 1st rd, and save us the trouble of watching 8 more BORING rds? Geezous. It's funny how heavyweights were the greatest to watch, now they are slow moving tanks that run out of gas fast, the featherweights are what are gonna end up taking over the boxing entertainment completely with their nonstop energy and battling from rd 1. :rolleyes:
I thought this was a good fight. It wasn't exciting, but I like watching it. Bhop pretty much just lets DLH try to get the advantage for the first rounds and then he starts slowly punishing him and the right hands Hopkins lands are great.
I had it 78-74 or 77-75 at the time of the knockout for Hopkins. I can't remember which one, but 77-75 for De La Hoya is fucking ridiculous.
The JMM fight is a sleeper and the ODH-BHop fight didnt live up to the hype. The supporting bouts fared better than the main events. Jantuah and Diamond did a good job showing what theyve got, hopefully, theyll be able to get more exposure in the future.
Wow, that's a cool avatar.
Tito is a natural Jr. Middle/Middle and Mayorga is a welterweight. That is why I can't understand people expecting Mayorga to win. Same with Hop/Dlh. I think Hopkins should move up in weight since he has been fighting so many welters and jr. middles. If Hopkins moved up in weight he would most likely lose and thats why we probably won't see it happen.
Hopkins has beaten just as many, if not more, fighters bigger than him as he's beaten fighters smaller than him.
And again, him and Roy already came to an agreement to split 18-20 million dollars and fight several months ago. HBO thought it was too much, that's why when Merchant asked him about a future bout with Roy he said 'if HBO makes it happen...'. Roy admitted in an interview that it wasn't Bernard's fault that the fight never happened.
This was a boring fight.
They weren't boxing as much as they were waiting, especially Hopkins.
He was sizing Oscar up, but I don't think it was necessary to do so...he should have stepped in more with a stiffer jab.He'd have started outboxing Oscar earlier, had he done so.

It was boring. I figured it would be and the only reason I saw it was because there were like 5 people throwing in on it. Tito vs. Mayorga will make up for it though!! DLH/Hop may have been a bigger fight but Tito-Mayorga will blow it out of the water excitement wise. I can't make up my mind who to root for but Tito is gonna win by TKO.
you guys do relize this is the same sit
smaller fihgter moving up
Trinidad is just gonna be too much for mayo
he hasnt looked good since his first fight vernon

mayos gonna be out gunned
I will make others in the future of all fighters, once i get the hang of it,I just downloaded it about a week ago
Hey big, I think you can convert a pix to cartoons in Photoshop. Can you try it and show us the result? I'm just curious if caricature really looks better in cartoons. Thanks.
I made it on Adobe photo shop, its a big head Manny, lol , Like it? :D
I didn't notice Manny had a bloated head. But I remember I saw this before in the old forum format and it surely looked funny to me. It looks like a caricature except that it isn't a cartoon drawing. It's cool, I guess. ;)
do me a favor JaNnO, when you watch the fight ,try to score it and let us know what you think.ok? I had the fight 76-76 going into the 9th 2 judges had the fight for Hopkins, one giving Oscar only 1 round, the 3rd judges had it 78-74 for Hopkins, let me and us know how you saw it,Peace Besides the KO,lol
okay, i'll try to score it myself and let you guys know. hey, is there something wrong with your avatar? don't tell me you're a pacman convert now? :eek:
Thank you for telling me. I will write what you told me on paper, so I won't forget it.
No problemo! It's nice to see a lady like you who seems to be genuinely interested in boxing. To tell you frankly, there's only a handful of them that I know. Keep up the good work!
Its short for Juan Manuel Marquez, the WBC and IBF featherweight champ who evobosm (summer) calls "chicken" for not rematching MAnny Pacquiao and instead chose to fight Salido last Saturday.

I know ,where did my 70k go? Oh well lets do it again, the fight started slow b/c I think DLH wanted to be in good shape come the later rounds, too bad he was hit in the liver. Damn that Hopkins,lol. OK fight but DLH needs to stay away from Middle weight
Actually bigdlb12 I haven't seen the fight yet. I'm waiting for the replay this weekeend. Can't wait for it!!!
Janno, what does JMM mean? I started liking boxing.

Both my bets won. I bet on Hopkins KO by 10 and JMM by UD. Too bad I'll never get those cash coz of the site upgrade. I wonder why they had to start from scratch at least with the cash. They were able to convert (port over) the user info and total post, but why not the accumulated cash?
Has it something to do with cheatings in the past?
