He's sparing with some big dudes with real power. Is this going to affect him? I would say he should calm down with his sparing partners because they might wear Pacquiao down. Just my opinion.
nah,,,, soon we'll hear about the stories of MWs puking in the ring, broken ribs and all that good stuff.
wasnt Freitas 30-0, 30 kos at one point? guy who said he punched like a mule got it right. something happened he lost that hunger and started fading in fights, there were reports he had trouble making weight coz of not taking training seriously.
I'm not so sure it was that good of a stoppage, Arreola was puttin hard pressure and seemed to walk thru everything Klit threw at him, el Gordo deserved to finish the fight imo.
that's a bunch of crock cotto's fluffers have come up wit. First Margarito was using plaster to bash in cotto's face and now just in case cotto is going to get his face bashed in some more...Paquiao is on steroids. Yeah right...pffff
Actually from Mayweather's, get your shit right, that's how gossip spreads like wild fire.
I hope Marquez doesnt do this, he should put all the pressure on Floyd to make the fight since it is his return bout. Let the fans boo and force Floyd move forward.
Floyd is too strong and too fast for him, will hit him straight thru his guard.
The closer it gets to fight night, the more wild predictions you see. I always say that you should stick with whoever you think will win instinctively, as soon as the fight is announced. Sometimes the over-analysis can really just be you trying to justify why your guy could or should win.
Good point... get your pick before ppl start discussing all the intangibles.
Do you know any Bar showing the Mayweather fight. Every place I know is showing UFC
Cacolandia=Carolina? If that's it try Buffalo Wings at the airport.
Marquez is the better, more experienced, more complete, all around FIGHTER. Floyd is exceptional (defensively) but IMO, Marquez is just as great and more diverse in his ability to FIGHT. JMM has demonstrated a more diverse repertoire of fighting styles and techniques. JMM has been in there with the P4P king and it can be argued that he won BOTH of those fights. When one says 'Floyd Mayweather' the first thing that comes to mind is defense. When that does not work for Floyd, what's he gonna do? Marquez will find a way. Marquez will win this fight! Bump this thread after the fight!
check your pm Perro
He is coming out of retirement to fight Trinidad.
I was thinking about that yesterday when all the PR papers started putting out articles on their fight 10 yrs ago. Oscar said he alwasy wanted a rematch, maybe they came to terms. :luvbed:
I think that Marquez is taking this Mayweather fight for nothing more than a payday.
I don't know if he really thinks he can beat this guy. Personally I can't see anyway that Marquez can beat Floyd. Floyd is bigger, stronger, hits harder, is quicker and has almost every intangible in this fight.
I love Marquez don't get me wrong. I will be rooting for him to win but I think that he wasn't given the 3rd Pacman fight and he decided he's 36 years old and needs to get paid. I don't blame him, I just don't want to see him get hurt or knocked out.
Marquez is an ATG, his resume speaks for itself. The man has fought the best and beat the best. He came up in a div that was arguably one of the toughest and deepest ever and is the last one standing.
He doesn't have great speed, strength, power or even a great chin. Yet he has managed to beat the best because he's probably the best PURE boxer and most intelligent fighter in the world today.
He is like a coach in the ring and coming from a trainer like me, that's a dream come true. When your fighter sees things at the same time you do, that's a quality you hardly ever will find in a fighter.
It's a shame that he didn't get the 3rd Manny fight because the more time that passes by and the more fights he has, he slips farther and farther away from his ability to beat someone like Manny.
I just hope it's a competitive fight between him and Floyd.
It is what it is....... Marquez has no business fighting Floyd at that weight. He knows it, so does Nacho and everybody else.
No fights today.
Semi-finals are on tomorrow.
Gold medal rounds (finals) are on Saturday.
By any chance you cap the McWilliams Arroyo or Jose Pedraza last fights? I seen you up some of them on video trade section.
I think the majority of us can agree that Manny has already achieved ATG status. But just how great is he? Where do you currently rank him on the ATG list. If he does to Cotto what he did to Ricky, where would you place him then? Top 25 anyone?
I'd say so. wonder what it does for Cotto if the opposite happens.
I'm not really a fan of twitter but this guy Berto is talking on there like he's the boxing messiah... Let me quotes some things from him
- "... he's on the juice"
- "... Vernon knocked the fight out of him... I should do the same"
- " ... He's desperate"
Get the **** outta here Berto... I hope this fight does take shape so Mosley can knocked the living shit out of him
Berto finally speaking up and wanting the best and you still give him shit for it, I say about time... But first thing first, he needs to rematch Collazo.
youre the first one.......champboxer has already given his props to kid sonsona....lol
last two rds were very very close, sonsona got back into the fight, even if Carita would've won them still would've lost, comprende? I do give propz to him thou, he showed heart.
