I just thought in round 1 if Juan Diaz can hit him, Jesus it's a wrap with Mayweather. Easy work.
Marquez did pretty damn good in his short spell at lightweight but he got hit way too much...
I am glad he got the money though, but I don't know what his team was thinking if anything beyond the dough.
Exactly! I guess some people were saying he had a chance because of his boxing skills, but I was telling every one that I knew that he did not have chance exactly because of that...you are not going to out box the best boxer in the world, especially when he was at a major reach, age, and weight disadvantage. Maybe if his team came up with a plan to pressure pressure pressure while still maintaining his tactical style and movement but he was not going to switch the pressure fighter switch on from one fight to another, especially jumping up 2 weight divisions. I do think that if he was as big or bigger than Mayweather, younger, and still withing his element to keep all of his prime skills and reflexes, then the fight would be a close contested one with Mayweather still winning.
I understand why you feel this way but its only part Klitschko, part the heavy weight division. They whole heavy weight division lacks many fighters that can put on a good show against each other.
Pretty interesting interview.
I have a feeling Cotto will depart from Top Rank after this year.
Hopefully he does. There is so much more to look forward to with Golden Boy Promotions and Bob Arum is a plain shady guy. Did you see how he loudly released his 1 million plus PPV numbers for Pacquiao vs Hatton and after the official numbers that were lower than his were released by other sources, he said he would not release any numbers from here on.
I actually think we are going to see a fighting mayweather in this fight. Were going to see toe to toe exchanges from time to time but still a cautious boxing mayweather mixed in. Something about mayweathers interviews saying hes going to give the fans a great fight tells me he really is. Especially that hes going up against a smaller fighter in marquez that is moving up 2 divisions and that cant really do much harm to his health if they actually fight. But can he fight better than marquez? He has shown he can before but marquez has shown us what he has in that scenario. This is all IF this scenario does happen july 18.
Is that what you're doing calling JMM a tuneup. All right then, don't expect me to give Floyd any credit for beatin him if you're gonna play that game then.
Nope he should not. Just watch his videos of him and his uncle saying it is a tune up. From my experience, tune ups are not notable big wins.
hitting his gloves? really?
so that cut on diaz right eye opened by itself?
Wow....you should replace Harold Lederman from HBO, because he's doing a bad job on the scoring...
Malignaggi Won 115-113 at the least, stop this BS.:thumbsdow
Hey man I didnt say that Malignaggi landed 0 punches. And like I said, it was a close fight, Malignaggi did not do enough for me to lean towards his side, besides his post fight interview. You are crazy by placing the term "at least" at the end of your 115-113 score for Malignaggi, I understand any one going for one side or the other, I just came on here to share my side, but no way in damn hell Malignaggi won by more than a 115-133 score.
He said it should be signed any day now, so this is going to be a good one. I am really confident that we should get a conformation soon so I will be looking for updates. Its going to be a good fight but Wlad is just going to destroy Haye. Haye is too unproven in the HW division and his punch taking seems weary to me. Although I guess the same can be said for Wlad if Haye was to land a very good punch.
Wouldnt Enzo feel he would be able to perform well prior to the fight? He just didnt train and take caer of himself to the fullest. Go back to the drawing boards, the cruiser weight division will be an easy one to climb back up in. No excuses.
Juan Carlos Gomez is good competition for Vitali. He cant be expected to find any one better available in a division that is not so deep. It is also his mandatory.
slightly pulling away?
when those 2 had their draw , who was where in the p4p rankings?
that draw with pacquiao is what made marquez.
marquez's greatness is riding the coattails of pacquiao's greatness.
barrera and morales wins made pacquiao.
a draw with pacquiao made marquez.Fair enoguh.
also,
Barrera, Morales, andMarquez made Pac.
My trainer was talking to me about this fight yesterday. It seems like W.K. has a good skills but there are not many heavyweights that he can fight and get recognition out of that name.
