Boxing having good and bad years is normal, the sport thrives on chaos. Betting on it is the same story. I’m in India and when I bet boxing through https://sky247.in.net/app/, which is a sports betting app with multiple sports markets, I accept unpredictability as part of the deal. Anyone promising certainty in boxing is selling fantasy, not analysis.
good:
WRIGHT-TAYLOR
carlos baldomir
bad:
B-hop retiring, although he owned Antonio tarver
bullshit decisions
forrest-quartey,toney-peter
and fighters not fighting their contenders
Well, it's been a good year for boxing no doubt, I cannot pick just 1 great thing to happen this year, so instead I'll pick my stand-outs.
GOOD
Bernard Hopkins completely destroying Antonio Tarver to not only go out on top but make history as well.
The whole story of Carlos Baldomir. I didn't like him that much and didn't think he was a great fighter but damn, I really respect and admire that guy, he's got a heart bigger than most in this sport.
Pacquiao beating Morales, sue me. I'm a fan of Pacquiao and wanted to see him get revenge, and without that win we wouldn't be set for another epic clash next week.
BAD
Other than some bullshit decisions, I can't really pick out anything negative. I love the sport too much.
BEST for me: emanuel augustus getting his revenage on courtney burton(after that AWFUL decision back in 04) and the USA getting back into the heavyweight game(hopefully even mroe so on saturday)
WORST for me: chris byrd losing, gatti vs baldy(which for me sealed his coffin) PBF vs baldy(which kind of turned me off from PBF but imma still watch...but not pay)
I will add to my list as I think of more
WORST
Evander Holyfield fighting
Toney-Rahman ending up a draw
BEST
Taylor-Wright
OLN AIRING BOXING CARDS ( Big one to me )
Oscar De La Hoya fighting ( He only fought once and he's a fight or two away from retirement, but it was still more eyes on the sport, and he most certainly didn't disappoint when on the big stage )
I was in your moms room hitting that shit.. Now that you know.. How do you feel at this moment?
Were you lean that night?
Clearly you have gotten my mother mixed up with your sister you dirty little Mexican inbred.
Really? Doesnt surprise me that you think that, fucking nuthugger.
It was particularly sweet when he was on the kanvas pleading "No Mas"
On a level now can I ask a question?
What were you doing at this point? How did it make you feel?
:D
i think the whole de la hoya floyd thing has been abit of a shit 4 boxin,alot of frustrated fans,money bein thrown around everywhere,false promises from both of em
i think floyd has been the best and worse thing this year
best thing - when hopkins humiliated tarver :banana:
worse thing - can't think of any... that's how much i love boxing:love: :heart:
Maybe I am being a little biased here, but one of the worse things I have EVER seen in boxing happened this year is Wetzlar Germany during the 5th round of the Miranda vs Abraham fight. Randy Neumann did a horrible job and should never be allowed in a the ring again...
