Groves is so calm and confident for a 26 yr old. He's seems like an exceptionally intelligent person. Love the line that he "just needs someone to hold his water".
Canelo could have ended the fight whenever he wanted but strung it out to give the PPV audience their 'money's worth'. He looked so menacing beating up on Angulo. Felt so bad for him when after asked by Virgil "Is his power bothering you" he says "a little bit". Angulo seems like such a nice guy after watching All Access. Good job on the stoppage Tony Weeks.
Maidana has come across like an arrogant prick. Floyd's whining??? This is the guy that never admits to a loss. Khan beat the hell out of him for 11 rounds and he thinks he was robbed then. Had excuses when Alexander dominated him.... Floyd won fairly easily let's move on. Fight was close but Floyd took control fairly easily later in the fight. Nothing else to see in the rematch.
Sick and tired of his "i don't care" attitude too. It's not tough it's stupid like his boxing....Great brawler though.
Everythings a 'robbery' in boxing. Chavez outboxed Vera first fight. Vera had more heart and activity but that doesn't win boxing matches. Chavez way more skilled and intelligent fighter. Will show up in this fight with Vera giving a valiant effort. People gotta start recognizing skills in boxing not just aggression and activity.
Nothing in boxing makes my blood boil more than calling a good BOXER a runner. If you want to be a dumbass and suffer brain damage in the name of "toughness" go ahead but don't then call a skillful boxer a runner. Lost all respect for him. Also Provo was a alcoholic, glue sniffer, thief ? So what then...we're supposed to be happy he turned it around? Piss off with that sob story bull****. You chose to do those things. His mother shouldn't be so proud either. She obviously failed as a parent.
Would love to see Pac beat the hell out of Maidana. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Put A LOT of pressure on Floyd and get rid of the very annoying waste of time that is Maidana.
He's being advised no running yet??? This has me nervous. Fight may never happen. Sergio went into the ring injured rather than postpone against Murray. Don't think he'll do the same against Cotto.
When are people going to learn. You can't put Canelo in with a mover until he learns to cut off the ring. Trout and Mayweather were disasters for his reputation. Lara and Sergio would be also. GGG would be a great fight but Canelo is stubbornly staying at 154? Couldn't make weight last fight....why not just move up and stop bullying smaller guys.
Incredible honesty from Mares. Should plant a seed in the minds of the doubters who don't buy the Loma hype. Mares seems like a real good guy, would love to see make a big comeback.
I think it's clear Loma deserves a shot at the vacant belt again. Vera got another shot at Chavez and he was the one who lost first time. So why not Lomachenko.
This fight is Kiko Martinez all over again is it not? Frampton was under a lot of pressure but he was able to outmaneuver Kiko and get the KO. Good fight though. Kiko could have won it. If Frampton could beat Santa maybe he could get the respect he deserves in the States.
All those combos look great and what not but I hope he's working real hard on cutting off the ring. Won't be able to stand still and throw shots like that against constantly moving Lara.
Happy to give Cotto his 'props' but it is hard to not look 'butthurt' when speaking the truth about Martinez. I and pretty much any other pro fighter (look at their tweets)think he was a shot fighter. But to put the Cotto 'props' in perspective it is hard to say that he has done anything special in his last 5 fights but he has looked good in his last two and for this his stock has gone up in my mind to a point I will be very excited to see him fight canelo. If he does well in THAT fight then I will happily give full 'props'. Until then I have a suspicion this is a great sales job. But I freely admit that I might be wrong and Cotto is the superstar he's being promoted as. Just I want to see him prove it against Canelo.
So many anti-Groves people. He has conducted himself very well I think. And he's only 26. People are underrating this guys skills. He's a real future legend.
It's absurd how people are talking like Lomachenko got schooled. Many people think he actually won the fight. But the big story of this fight was Salido getting away with LEADING WITH HIS HEAD the entire 12 rounds as evidenced here : proboxinganalysis.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/robbery-in-texas .If the referee had put a stop to this (like pro refs always normally do ) Lomachenko would have been able to 'let hit hands go' and what you saw in the 12th would have happened the entire fight.
