I don't get March 13th.. this is way too early. No build-up, minimal recovery time for Manny.
I didn't care about Manny's politics stuff, but now that it's rushing this fight... :nonono:
Promoter talking trash about his fighter after they split on a boxing message board = not cool.
Well why did you milk him by making him at mid-level NYC venues expecting his Irish fans to pony up sfor every single fight against non-descript opponents? Sure he was somewhat protected but he hasn't fought one dangerous title contender fighter his whole career, until the Hearns Jr. fight in January. He should've been given a shot somewhere at least a year ago. He has the heart of a lion and I'm sure he has wanted tougher fights for a while now.
Consider this thread backfired.
Also: Meal ticket? He was your only ticket. You didn't even do James Moore right by getting building him up correctly or who knows what, he loses to a journeyman, and STILL he gets that potential big name-recognition fight against Foreman before Duddy does? What a joke.
Floyd fought at 150 and was ACTUALLY the smaller man, weight-wise too. Plus Oscar had more left in the tank. Sure the Pac victory was way more impressive but you can't fault Floyd for fighting the way he does, it's just his nature.
they messed up the scores
it was announced as an Isaac win but it was later found out they were calculated wrong and it was a draw :lol1:
ouch
LMAO!
Edit: Here's the link for the draw

I saw the fight, good back and forth action both hurt each other a time or two. It was 117-110 Isaac 115-112 Devlin and 113-112 Isaac
lol @ all the Ukranian/Russian in-fighting, most people think y'all are the same away.
BACK TO TOPIC - yeah that was before his last fight, I found it hilarious as hell too. But hey, it may SEEM like an ignorant comment on the surface but it just shows how enlightened (or something) he wants to be. :D
Pascal ducked Froch to fight Miranda. Then Miranda fought the most dangerous opponent available just for pride after Kessler ducked him, and got KO'ed. Sorry but he would beat both Froch AND Pascal. You see how many times Froch was hit flush? Miranda has twice the power. Miranda MAY have a weak chin (who knows, it's only Pavlik and Abraham who have dented them, and they are the two best at 160..) but that won't be a factor.
I obviously will be brushed aside as a Miranda fan, but whatever. It's what I think.
cause it wasnt anywhere near as pretty as all of those!
also brewster really didnt KO wlad, wlad collapsed from fatigue and brewster was awarded the victory. although a highlight in brewsters career, its not really GIF worthy unless you are a hater.
LMAO! I usually don't care for personal fan fighter vs fighter talk but that is a pathetic excuse. Yes, Wlad really collapsed due to exhaustion and not cause he got caught with a huge left hook and got battered around the ring for half a round.
Best heavyweight moment since Lennox vs Rahman I.
Always been a fan of Brewster, he's got heart for days.
On the contrary, I live on the East Coast (US) and love watching these early fights. The earlier the better...
Yep I was about to come in and type that. Also, I can understand the move cause seriously, the US is not needed here. Sure any extra money will be great but between England and Germany they can be very successful.
And I also think it's a travesty HBO/Show hasn't shown Haye's last fights..
yeah they're showing the pavlik fight in NY and the cotto fight in Ohio..
so nothing will be going on in YT during the Cotto fight so they can get the timing right
Its funny none of our Armenian posters are here to rub this in. They are all still at the Pond haha.
hahaha I noticed that too, it seems that only the Filipinos are in trash-talking mode about Donaire again and no one is there to fight them :D
Ring is the best but there's no point in getting it really, all the news is outdated. Their fight previews and reviews and great, and their boxing history pieces are classic. I get the magazines that are special to me, one with really good articles in it or a preview I like, like the Hatton vs Pacquiao issue or the "End of Year" awards.
But as far as news, which is mostly the back half of the magazine, it's useless. Better off putting aside an hour of your time and reading it at Barnes and Noble or something. It's not something that will keep you enthralled for a week.
This is another stupid biased Calzaghe supporter claim.
It is FALSE - Lacy was never the killer the UK press made him out to be. In fact he had struggled even before Calzaghe.
