I'm the last of my friends(well the ones who actually follow boxing that is) who stills believes Berto has a bright, possibly even pound4pound type future...but at this stage of his career NO WAY does he beat pacman.
For "withergloves" The dude dancing in addix avatar is Emanuel Augustus...that was from a fight on friday night fights a few years ago against Ray Oliviera
I'd say de la hoya's was more humiliating, given that he was such a huge favorite with pac coming up in weight...but diaz was a no hoper who got ****ed up so severly I just felt bad for the guy.
Yeah, definite respect to Litzau....at 13-1 underdog would have loved to have bet on him. His history of showing a weak chin, stamina issues, piss poor decision making I was sure he would use his boxing skill to make a couple rounds interesting and then get taken out. Props to the judges for actually giving the non house fighter a deserved win.
Not that I need to tell anyone who saw it, but that was a wicked shot from Nonito! Herioc effort by Montiel just getting up before the count, but I can't believe the ref let him continue? Dude was rolling around and twitching which should have prompted the ref to waive it off immediately and call for the attention of ringside physicians...he(Montiel) didn't even respond well or come forward when the ref was checking him to see if he could continue...I'm all for giving a champ the benefit of the doubt, but damn:(
Wow...that was a vicious KO. Like everyone else I expected another back and forth war, then Sergio ended it with a perfectly timed shot. What I also expected(and was right) was all the retards bringing P Wills color into it(way to go hopkins with more dumb racial bull****) saying what happened to the slick African American...Um 1st off, when has P Will EVER been slick?? 2nd. He is going for his 3rd title in his 3rd weight class against the real champ of that division. He lost to a guy who is cearly fighter of the year and a pound4pound elite. This type of **** is why the best don't fight the bestone loss even to a top fighter(one you already have a decision victory against) and your written off as expose or just a hype job??? WTF?
I really like both Pwill and Martinez....If Martinez beats Williams convincingly(and thats a BIG if) Then yeah FOTY seems justified. Montiel had a great year as well, Juanma who I feel could be a very special fighter has looked to vunerable here of late for my taste. No love for Andre Ward? If Dirrell had taken the fight and Ward put on another clinic then I would consider him as well.
