Maidana will take anyone to their limits but he's been out so long now that I couldn't call it. Either way, I'd certainly like to see Thurman fight someone on the next level.
Since when did beating Porter or Thurman become a pre-requisite for fighting Floyd? There's a case for Porter as he has a belt but Thurman, despite having potential, hasn't really beat anyone.
Thats dope as hell u should've added in the part as the round ends and he bangs them one more time. But its so discreet Im not sure if the packyfans would notice what Floyd was doing. I wanted the commentators to mention it so bad!
I could stare at these gifs all day it just keep repeating you cant look away lol
Would've meant something if he did that and then didn't stay out of arms reach.
I remember watching this fight on the train to work and hadn't realised people were watching over my shoulder. Only noticed when they shouted as Ortiz knocked Berto down.
Really enjoyed the fight at the time but not sure if it would be fight of the decade. If either had gone on to better things this fight might have meant a lot more.
Sadly, Berto became the pre-requisite fight for a Mayweather match up and Ortiz... well... the less said about Ortiz the better.
I like Khan and all but I gotta be honest and say, at this stage, ANYONE is a dangerous fight for Khan. He's the favourite against most sure, but with a chin like that...
enjoy everyone this is history!!! may the best man win NO EXCUSES tom night NONE!!!!!!
As much as I'm going to enjoy it, the fact that it's not 2010 still leaves a bitter taste.
Has no one watched Maidana vs Morales or Maidana vs Soto Karass?
Has no one watched Mayweather vs Hatton or Mayweather vs Ortiz?
There's nothing new here from Maidana or Floyd.
Ok, I've watched it again sober, and still strongly disagree with that stoppage.
There's no consistency in the refereeing, if your going to be overly cautious and overprotective you need to be that way with both fighters.
He's let George's rep as being chinny and Carl's rep as a ferocious puncher and finisher influence him there. It's not his job to try and predict what might happen if he lets the fight go on, wether froch would have finished him in that round or the 10th is irrelevant.
If you argue that the ref is supposed to look out for the health of a fighter first and foremost then he's only looked out for the health of one fighter here.
Which fighter was speaking with clarity after the fight and which fighter couldn't even remember being knocked down.
There absolutely needs to be a rematch. I expect froch to make adjustments but if if groves sticks to his jab in the next fight I think he takes it.
There's a difference between being knocked down and tagged repetitively. Froch was saved by the bell and Groves didn't follow up on the knock down so we'll never know. I agree the stoppage was premature but there's no "inconsistency" here.
Lol shes butthurt floyd didnt know who she is.
Floyd would never get butthurt if someone didn't know who he was. :lol1:
