Doesn't change the fact that on a level playing field Abril won the fight handily and got screwed
Exactly. Rios doesn't like to talk about the fight the same way Mayweather never likes to talk about his first fight with Jose Luis Castillo :lol1:
He did it to himself. He should have returned the Belt and admitted defeat. Instead he thought the entire world was blind and tried to market his fake ass win with a bullshlt belt that he didnt earn.
So Anyone that fights him and beats him is considered a paper champion. Who wants that title....Oh wait...Floyd.
Any who.....No he would have got more respect with the loss and better fights afterwards if he had of loss!
Lol I agree 100%
No because apparently he's trying to climb the ladder to get back on top of the division. If he leaves this division, he'll probably just suffer more bad luck
Pacquiao by far. Just look at his last fight. He easily out pointed Bradley and could of reclaimed his victory that got stolen from him, but he instead chose Marquez who gave him hell before that Bradley fight. Even Marquez (who was saying he beat PAC 3 times) aknowledged that he was surprised that he was chosen over Bradley
Damn that's awful news for Paul (for anyone really) and this comes right after the death of Johnny Tapias. Prayers are with both families. Horrible time for boxing
Unless her personally wronged you, I don't understand how fans of the sport can have it so bad against specific fighters… that's just wrong. His life is at risk, sure JuanMa steps in knowing this and it's his choice to do so but the man is just trying to make a living. SMH, what's wrong with half the folks on this site..
Because I'm a "fan" of boxing. Last I checked, boxing is where you "punch" and "hurt" people, and I'm a fan of knockouts. It just so happens that Juanma is prone to getting those lol. Like you said, its a profession he chose, I don't tell him to go out there lol.
The Mayweather fans posing as Trout fans could learn a thing or two from Trout. Of course, they won't; that would require the ability to learn.
Haha! PREACH
I hope Fury can make the fight with Joshua next and bypass this garbage rematch, we already know who the better fighter is
Amen. 3rd fight is not necessary
Is this Bob Arum setting up a trilogy? That was ridiculous. Yes, Horn did better than expected but he did not win that fight. Teddy Atlas said they gave Horn the win for "trying hard", and I agree
Good perfomance from Bradley. I honestly thought he won convincingly. I gave Marquez 4 rounds tops, and I was pulling for him. Bradley is legit, but I still think he got out worked by Pacquaio last year, so hopefully we get Bradley/Pacquiao 2 next year.
Congrats to my boy Tyson Fury on becoming the new heavyweight champion of the world! All the haters slept on his comment where he said "If I don't beat Klitschko, I'm a bum and I'll retire". Looks like Klits needs to retire as he looked like a bum in there hahahahahahahaha. The Klit got licked 😂
That performance by Floyd just made washed up Pacman looked 100 times better lol, Pac fought a much better faster craftier opponent in Bradley and out classed him. Floyd was missing some crazy shots against a tailormade opponent.
Devon Alexander had easy work with Maidana, Floyd forced Maidana to use those padded gloves too, Floyd got exposed bad in this fight.
Those scores were ridiculous I had it a draw.
Agreed 100%. The gayweathers don't wanna accept it tho
“Let them train to be a fighter and fight Wilder,” Joshua told AP. “It’s easy talking about it. It’s another thing doing.”
Wooooooowwww that's some funny sh** lol hahaha So if y'all wanna see a Wilder fight you better hit the gym and fight him yourself :) lol
LMAO this is great. How can Anthony Pussua fans defend this statement????
Just to throw this out there;
I attended the fight and Fury paid for my expenses. Ticket was $400, hotel was $520, flight was $350. I placed at bet at MGM for $200 on Fury to win by KO (5/1 odds at that time) and I won back $1300. Thanks Fury for KOing bum squad like you said you would
Went through the ropes like Bhop. Congratulations to whoever bet on Bellew by KO. I thought about doing it just for S&G, really having so major regrets now.
same a'f!!!
This happened to me twice when Fury beat Klits. Lesson learned to go with my instincts now.
LMAO @ Haye getting TKO'd. Injury or not, it's still a legit victory for Bellew. Dude deserved it after blaming a toe injury, pulling out of fights, and KO'ing tomato cans as if it's impressive.
How do you Haye fans feel tonight???
Wilder is not the smartest person. I think before Fury-Wilder 1, he (and his trainers, friends, followers) had made himself out to be some mythical superhuman creature with the power of 10. He had started to believe in his own hype (as evidenced by Wilder's comments regarding Mike Tyson etc) - that was not "selling the fight" - he actually believed what he said.
When Fury came back from those knockdowns in the first fight - especially the second KD - with guns blazing, that shattered Wilder's perception of himself. And obviously the TKO in the second fight only added to that (although I actually think the first fight - i.e., the loss of confidence in his own KO power - was psychologically worse for Wilder than the TKO).
I wish Wilder well - that includes, first and foremost, a realistic trainer, promoter, and fan base who acknowledge defeat in the last fight, instead of being delusional about it by looking for absurd excuses; who try to work on his obvious technical deficits, and think of a meaningful strategy. Otherwise the third fight will be a disaster.
Very well said. I agree with you 100%. Just want to add that Wilder fans have fallen into the hype as well and are digging for anything to make themselves feel better, like that ridiculous glove ordeal
even though espn was throwing out Kirk & Angullo w/Trout , it was Austin all the time....he's the only of the 3 that can't hit...
^^THIS, I dont get why people describe Trout as so "dangerous". Cotto who is slow as a turtle gave him a good fight for the first 6 rounds and was never badly hurt. I think Canelo beats Trout with no problem
yeah, him packing that muscle on pretty much let me know they had serious doubts about how they could win the fight
It’s like they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, either come in lighter and get totally rag dolled even easier, or come in heavy in the hopes of being stronger but with the gamble of gassing quicker.
Still, I suppose they had to take a gamble either way.
You’re right on the money there
Lol Barrios did not win that fight. He won the first 4 rounds at most, and those 2 knockdowns should have made that a draw at least. Dude was getting spanked like crazy.
His dad should just tell him to get out of the sport of boxing plain and simple. Chavez jr is a disgrace to the sport AND to his father. Of course daddy will always be in denial that his son just sucks. He's beaten tomato cans for a living while getting gift decisions (Zbik,Vera). Then he gets his ass handed to him by his first worthy opponent. Now, he can change contracted weights 3 times because his fast ass can't train hard enough to lose the extra baggage. Why does this **** head always get pampered by the promotion for his antics, and how the hell are their people who are "fans" of this guy? It baffles me
LMAO Khan got his ass handed to him in more ways than one. This is the guy that's suppose to beat Mayweather ?? A past prime Erik Morales put up a better fight against Danny Garcia than Khan did lol
Lol so I guess everyone was right about Berto being a hype job. His career is done, as far as big fights go, similar to how Juan Manuel Lopez ended up like. Ain't it funny how when these boxers turn to Virgil Hunter for training, they end up sucking more than they already did (Khan,Berto)
I see absolutely zero star potential in algieri.
Andre Ward seemed to like the kid. Sadly Algieri sold more tickets than Andre could despite both being unknown to the general public lol
