Info on Cotto - Martinez Tickets
I just checked ticketmaster they have a layout available now so you can pick your exact seats that wasnt available the day they came out. I wasn't satisfied with the seats I got seeing there were better seats available so I called and was able to trade mine for open seats I saw on the map. And dont spend out your ass on stubhub there are def seats available i saw atleast down to $549 range. Thought this may help some people out if they werent happy with what Ticketmaster gave them like myself

According to ESPN article Boxing is the Most Difficult Sport
I found this article it may be old but nonetheless interesting. Its ranking sports in 10 different categories to decide the degree of difficulty in each one. Boxing comes up ranked at 1 with Ice Hockey at 2. Heres the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/sportSkills This is a good thing to keep in mind when calling some fighter a bum or what not

Has Brandon Rios injured his right arm?
I keep noticing on 24/7 that he has it taped up with KT tape which is used to aid injuries. Has anyone heard anything about him getting hurt or having problems with it?

Anyone heard this about Roy Jones Jr?
I just had an ex pro boxer, who mostly fought locally, come into my job he found out I boxed and was into boxing as well and started telling a few things one thing he said was while he was boxing he met someone (he might of said it was Roy Jones dad) who told him that Roy Jones dad got with Roy JR's mom basically for selective breeding (i know its crazy it made me laugh) he said that Roys dad wanted a perfect boxer so he found a woman that was tall,slim with long arms or just a perfect specimen for boxing. I just thought I'd share if for nothing more than laughs I am sure it could be true but it just sounds so crazy to me. Has anyone else heard anything like this? Or have any other similar stories?

Zab Judah seems mentally stronger now
I just got a chance to watch the Garcia - Judah fight last night and I have to say Zab looked mentally stronger than he has before I think its a little too late for it to be happening in his career but it was good to see anyway as a fan of Zab just wish he had the same mentality starting when he fought Baldomir. I noticed he got low blowed didn't complain like I'd expect out of Zab and he also did well late in the fight and won the last three rounds in my opinion

Did Roach ever announce the new fighter he was training?
I remember there being a thread on here maybe a month or so ago and it was saying Roach was training a new undefeated champion I think and I don't remember if I ever saw it announced or if he has announced it. Anyone have an update?

Who was harder to hit RJJ or Pernell Whitaker
I see highlights of both of them and just think damn how did they even see that coming, both had great reflexes. In their primes who was more slick and defensively sound fighter?

Anyone familiar with feintboxing.com
Has anyone else seen this site? I randomly came across their instagram and started following them they sell posters and t-shirts. I like most of the stuff from what I've seen on their website and they got good prices

Does anyone plan on ordering the GGG fight?
I just realized it was this weekend and also it was a PPV. I have interest in watching this fight but not paying to watch it especially with Rios -Alvarado II coming on that night. Does anyone actually plan on ordering this or just streaming it? And what are some sights I can get this online for free?

Is Freddie Roach on the decline as a trainer?
It's no doubt that Freddie Roach has been a great trainer but with losses for his biggest fighters last year I've seen some people speculate he's on the decline, me included, I know you don't forget what you learned or how to train really but there could be outside factors as in loss of focus, more severe effects from parkinsons etc. What are your thoughts?

Gabriel Rosado Vs J'leon Love on the May 4th undercard according to The Ring Magazine
What do you think about this match up? I became a big fan of Rosado after his fight with GGG and I really don't know much about Love beside he's one of Mayweathers fighters so I'm guessing Rosado is being brought in hopes to better Loves career but I think Rosado has a good chance of winning this

Victor Ortiz interview on Power 106 reason why he headbutted Mayweather
I know its an old topic but Victor Ortiz talking about the reason he headbutted Mayweather. I just watched part of the fight where he headbutts him I honestly don't see the elbow he's speaking of I think he was frusterated with Mayweather that he wasn't getting to him and did that I tried to embed but i dont think it worked heres the link http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhKDlJ9f0m1x3gn7Ej

Which fights to watch tonight
I duno about you guys but I'm torn between the two networks on which fights to watch tonight and to make it worse I dont have DVR. I definitely want to see Gary Russell Jr. fight along with Keith Thurman's fight and Bernard Hopkins vs Tavoris Cloud. If i could watch all the bouts i would and hopefully the ones I want to see won't overlap. Which fights are you guys watching tonight?

Does anyone else think the May 4th fight seems unorganized so far?
It just seems like everything is late to be finalized IMO and the promotion for the fight is going to be affected. I have the feeling this fight won't sell as well as the last few Mayweather fights especially without Canelo -Trout on the undercard

Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. follow his father and uncle into training after he retires
It looks like he's already started to move on to training fighters on the card over the weekend working their corners. Do you think this will be his move after boxing aside from promoting and do you think he has what it takes to become a top trainer?

how did you get into boxing?
How did you first become interested in boxing family friends, or whatever? I got into boxing cause my friend was a muay thai instructor and talked me into doing that and i started watching muay thai fights and mma and some boxing eventually i just liked the art form of boxing more than either one of those and decided i wanted to go to a boxing gym instead of doing muay thai and never had an interest in doing mma. Before this i never really paid attention to boxing at all. Now all i really watch is boxing as far as sports, i dont care for mma at all really i will watch muay thai fights some although its more boring to me. The skill and fluidity of the fights is what drew me to boxing over any other combat sports

Hardest P4P punchers in the sport today
its kinda hard to gauge but who do you think are some of the hardest punchers in the sport right now P4P? Donaire, Pacquiao, Canelo, Garcia, Maidana and Randall Bailey in no particular order come to mind for me but aside from that i draw a blank

According to boxing fanatik via instagram manny pacquiao said he will fight again in april and face marquez in september. I dont know how reliable the source is givin it is instagram and i havent seen a thread on here about it yet. I think april is way too early for him to fight again after that ko. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

Is Seth Mitchell overrated?
I dont really keep up with todays heavyweights but I watched the last Seth Mitchell fight aswell as some other clips of him online and to me it just seems like hes being hyped up by HBO boxing because of his background and maybe marketability because of that. Before he stepped in the ring with Johnathan Banks i thought he would lose based on his inexperience compared to Banks and he did. what are other peoples opinions on him?
