I think people overrate JMM because of the Pacquiao fight. Styles make fights. JMM hasn't fought any good competition outside of Mayweather/Pac in a long time. I think we'd see JMM KO'd for the first time ever.
I think the scores were pretty accurate. The 119-110 was probably because the judge gave every close round to Trout. You can't say oh, well I gave the last close round to this person, let me give the next close round to the other.
I stopped scoring the fight after round 6. However, I thought Cotto won rounds 3,4, and maybe 5. I can still see how you could give Trout those rounds. In addition, I thought Trout won every round easily after round 6.
I think Canelo vs Thurman would be a good fight. It's too many good 154lbers for Canelo NOT to be fighting good opposition. Common sense to why he would fight Mayweather though....MONEY!!!!
No he isn't.. if he was an actual desert storm vet he would have to be almost 40..and as a
Marine myself I know that he has never served in my corps
Wow, didnt know we had Marines on the forum...Semper Fidelis.
in 2010 pac went against clottey n margarito n threw just over 1100 punches in those fights which is close 2 100 per round. In 2011 pac went against mosley and marquez n threw just over 600 punches so around 50 per round. It has nothing to do with pac being shot he just doesnt throw as much against fighters who have a boxing IQ because they can make you miss and then punish you so he needs to wait for an opening which isnt pac's game he needs to throw 6/7 punches at a time
Well, he really didn't land any clean punches on Clottey. Clottey was in a shell most of the time. Clottey beats him if he would've actually fought back.
Question to everyone; If you were a up and coming boxer, would you throw a fight for a secretive 50-50 split with Pac or Mayweather?? If you don't throw the fight you'll get a 20 percent of the PPV sales....
People really need to stop crying about this fight. Pac DID NOT dominate this fight. It was close and Pac did not have an easy time in there. I scored it a draw when I watched it with no volume. I scored it live, 8-4 Pac.
We would see the end of Marquez's career. Berto destroys Marquez. Marquez is a skilled technician, but slightly overrated because of the Pacquiao bouts. This fight would never happen though. I'd like to see Marquez vs Broner at 135lb or 140lb.
Not only was Dawson never as good as basicly everyone thought.
But SOG is the future of boxing.
Easy prediction.
(Glad he didn't use his head)[/QUOT
Ward vs GGG at 168....who would you pick?
Why do people keep saying Matthysee beat Judah? Judah won the early rounds easy and the fight was close because of the knockdown.
People stay holding Matthysee's nuts.
Nobody wants to see Garcia vs Judah though. I'd like to see Garcia vs Matthysee, Soto, or Marquez.
They won't rematch Bradley because they believe they won the fight. Although the general public believes this too, but Manny DID NOT dominate Bradley. Whoever believes that is delusional.
People are stupid. How was this not a close fight? People were just excited about the rounds that Pacquiao won big. I hope the rematch happens so Tim Bradley can put the Manny Pacquiao hype to rest one final time. However, if it is close.....HE AIN'T GETTING A DECISION...
