Mendez has very good skills but I would like to see his skills w/o having the ability to measure an opponent, its Amateur and ruins the intrigue, especially for a championship fight...challenger may only get one fight...Cant watch the Ref not enforce the rules...That's why I stopped watching the NBA
It is dead. Plus the heavyweights are too fat for any cruiserweight to contend. The weight limit for heavyweight really screws any transition a Cruiserweight fighter can make going up. Majority of cruiserweights are stuck in a dead division. IMO
It's nice to have boxing on regular cable and I'm pretty psyched as well but having the politics attached to these fights will be a huge hurdle for first time viewers.
Some "closet" stuff going on with the Quillen story. I wish the fight would have been able to continue to give Quillen a little extra time. No reason to hate on Pacquiao.
Would i be mad if Wlad got the fight??? no... i am simple just trying to talk boxing
Should of put this in your original post, then it wouldn't of sounded so bias
One of the best match ups for GGG besides Martinez... is it just a matter of this fight being his potentially biggest fight, so it's being held off for as long as possible, or is there some ducking going on?
Neither is ducking. This fight can wait. Year or so, more $$$ signs will be involved.
Haymon needs to get Malignaggi on these broadcast teams.
Malignaggi and Tarver would be great, just need a good blow-by-blow man.
Tarver gives biased play by play. Paulie is the man though.
Judge who had it a DRAW gave THE FIRST FOUR ROUNDS TO GARY RUSSELL JR.
What. A. Joke.

Right from the get go!!! How could 2 judges score the 1st rd for Russell Jr.?
To me that 1st round was a no brainer.
Scoring this fight a draw is beyond me
I am a sophomore at the University of Phoenix now... trying to get my life together man
Trying to get the life put back togethor and you pick Mayweather as your idol????
It is VERY obvious that Manny is past his prime. His chin is glass,his hand speed and power are both gone. He is an ATG,but I think he is there for the taking.
Chris is a tall rangy guy with speed. A young hungry fighter filled with fire and determination,much like a young Manny Pacquiao.
I gotta be honest,I think Chris mauls Manny and knocks him out late.
Absolutely agree. It could be a real nightmare for Manny, if Chris Algeri mentally fight on the big stage.
Which is why I wrote in my response that Matthysse did put up a good fight, I compared his performance to Broner’s except it was far less humiliating. Broner got humped, and he did act to try and get Maidana penalized, but thats not that much different then anything Bernard Hopkins has tried before.
And to answer your question, no, I do not hate Matthysse….I hate how overrated he is, and most of his radical fans that always pick him by way of murder every time they make a prediction on one of his fights. Before you respond to this by saying Broner is overrated too, he’s not as overrated on Boxingscene and never has been, not even close. Was he being built up to be the next Floyd by Showtime and HBO, yea, but thats their job, to find the next cash cow. Same thing happened with Canelo being the next Goldenboy. Broner is pretty hated here and despised, please don’t respond to this by saying he’s overrated, only people who overrated him were the casual fans.
Good post. The one line cracked me up.
Ward needs to get himself in the ring. Andre seems to be delusional on what will make him a star. Putting his talent on display 3-4 times a year in the ring will help.
Yes,, thats what cost him the fight.. no counter shots when he made canelo miss...
Thats why he isnt on the floyd, hopkins, level
Not even really even counters I was thinking but after Canelo missed and Lara would already be five steps away and Canelo is still falling thru the ropes
I realize Floyd, you think you have to speak slowly for others to understand but it don't help if they're lies, on top of lies, wrapped up in an enigma.
Finally a referee enforces the rules. Chaves was doing some good acting all night and I'm so happy Vic D seen through Chaves bull-crap. I have no problem with the stoppage bc Chaves was clearly not going to stop acting like a fool
Lol That's good, in depth literature. Good read. Thank you.
I read the hell out of this site and post once in a while. Need boxing news and this is the place to be for me. Of course you get your off the wall rumors and spectulation on here stirring the kettle.
Open-Mindedness is not a strong suit with nut huggers
Why are people upset when he does something dirty but are fine with maidana doing the same and worse?
First there has to be a referee with balls to take points away.
