Malik has 2 TKO's in 17 fights Vs Bums since 2004, he's not going to be destroying anybody. Chisora is the toughest opponent he's faced, so i'm not sure how he can claim to be coming down from A level to "c/d level". Three fights ago this man was fighting a 6 rounders, has he ever fought a 12 rounder in his life? The iron chin of Chisora + Malik's featherfists = easy work

" "The One just got another one," Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer said on the Thursday conference call to herald the scrap.
Scheafer said that Garcia isn't scared of anyone and said those that thought Garcia would duck the bout, have egg on face. The promoter thanked advisor Al Haymon, for okaying the fight, and noted that many felt he wouldn't pull the trigger and risk putting two of his clients into the ring together.
Schaefer said.. "
It wasn't a knockdown in the slightest. Matthysse didn't even get punched in the back of the head- it was an open gloved grab by Garcia which yanked Matthysse into the ropes. The ref should've paused the fight at that point
It was an uncharacteristic performance, and an uncharacteristic interview- because Stevens genuinely pissed him off in the buildup.
I thought he said something like Curtis should "go home to his parents, and say I said hi".
He was unusually brash in the interview, bigging himself up and dismissing Stevens. He was very similar during the fight, abandoning defence at times + going overly aggressive
beating, Baldomir, Judah, old Mosley and Guerrero at 147 doesnt mean he would beat SRL, Robinson, Prime De la hoya, Benitez, Duran, SRR, Hearns. That's fucking retarded
Why have you got a picture of a murderer as your avatar? That's some creepy sh1t.
I agree with Ragalac. Bunch of whiney Nerds. "B-b-but floyd said this about cotto :'( "
Get real, floyd is a Welterweight. He's not big enough for JMW, he fought cotto because cotto is a smal JMW, and oscar because Oscar was past his peak, yet still the biggest name in the sport. What is Canelo? He doesn't have the prestige oscar did, and hasn't achieved nearly as much.
Why is it wrong of floyd to say he wants to fight a natural 160lb at his natural "comfortable" weight, but doesn't want to fight a 172lb'er at his natural comfortable weight? That makes perfect sense!! Floyd is the highest earning biggest superstar in sport, why would he allow someone to have an advantage of 20lbs over him? That would be ridiculous.
Just because Roy Jones Junior once stepped up to HW and held a title, it doesn't mean he should have fought any HW at any weight they liked. RJJ was NOT a HW! Feel grateful Floyd is prepared to fight bigger men than him ever, because that's the only chance we're gona see him get beat.
And i want to see him beat, i ****ing hate the pretentious pr*ck. But i don't let my dislike of the man colour every single opinion i give on him.
Great post. I think many people enjoy the "gossipy" side of boxing more than the actual boxing itself. People like viper gets a couple of her girlfriends around and has a good ol' chinwag over a bottle of wine. They giggle to themselves about "what he said..what she said! :O ".
Then if you object, you get accused of being floyd fanatic. I hate floyd, but at the end of the day i'm manly interested in seeing him and canelo punch eachother in the face. I'm glad that they're now going to be able to.
In terms of raw power, trout. But he never really landed flush on canelo in their bout. Mayweather is faster, has better timing, and has lightning sharp precision counters.

Richard Schaefer announces @DannySwift vs Lucas Matthysse will be the co-main Sept 14 for #TheOne @MGMgrand @Shosports @Mayweatherpromo
:D :D :D
Not a fair comparison. This was Mattysse's step up fight, he was the underdog + expected to get KO'd in the middle rounds. He'd never even been further than 4 rounds beforehand. Garcia though, was an established champion, facing an older Judah (who'd been been badly beaten by Khan since facing Lucas). Mattysse has improved a lot since 2010, wheras Garcia's performance was only a few months ago.

Stay tuned for a big announcement from GBP CEO Richard Schaefer is hosting a media call in 10 min!
The team mattysse page also posted this:
"igual sigamos esperando ver que pasa! cualquier cosa que me entere aviso por aca! saludos!"
Which Facebook says translates to:
"Let's just waiting to see what happens! anything you notice learned me on here! Best regards!"
Waiting to see what happens? Doesn't sound definite to me..
People shouldn't compare the Judah performances. Judah was Lucas' first step up fight, he hadn't even fought many 12 rounders before then. Prior to the fight, it was predicted that Zab would stop Lucas in the middle rounds. By contrast, Garcia was an established fighter by the time he faced an older/slower Judah. Lucas has improved a lot since 2010, and he was bound to have initial issues with his first taste of "the world level". Has Garcia improved in the month since he faced Zab? If anything, his was the less impressive performance. Zab rocked Garcia, and exposed his chin as hittable. Zab never hurt Lucas like that
Lucas is going to do some serious harm to the big stiff idiot. He's gettin' it, for sure.
And he'll fight his gay lover Kid Chocolate in between rounds..
Garcia is a big poof. Did you see that thread about his new "Grill" ? He's paid 14k to look like Elmo has spunked over his teeth. Lucas is a proper warrior, and doesn't need any of that pretentious rubbish. Garcia represents everything that's wrong with boxers who "make it". His 15 mins of fame is almost over
