Rojas should've taken a knee.
Eh it doesn't matter. Aleem isn't very good.
Yea he didn't look that good...But he's only 20 and still has a ton of time to improve....Lots of top fighters have had a hard fight with some random guy early in their career and improved on it....
I think it's because they are both undefeated. Also, in the case with Timothy Bradley, I think that most of his haters; Which Many of whom are Manny Pacquiao fans are bitter and resentful of the fact hat he won a gift decision, that they believed he didn't deserve.
However, the very same can be said about Danny Garcia. Likewise, many boxing fans are resentful of Danny Garcia because they believe that he also won a gift decision against an aging and shopworn Erik Morales, in their first meeting in which he rarely engaged or hardly threw any punches against a naturally smaller opponent. Morales is revered and considered a legend on these boards.
Also, the backlash against Danny until very recently may have been his weak level of opposition. Outside of Amir Khan, Matthysse is his biggest win to date. However, many of his detractors claim that he achieved it by dubious means with excessive fouling like: Low blows, head butts and incessant clinching.
You could argue that Matthyse had an even worse record of opposition (the dude recently fought Mike Dallas Jr lol) yet all the dumb fanboys still loved him.
Lucas had a BAD level of opposition yet everyone was obsessed with him...Like I said it all comes down to Danny's father and I guess that he acts Black aswell....It's really pathetic.
Bradley and his family received numerous threats because of the decision he received in the fight with pac. So I'm sure he had a huge attitude towards pac. Not saying is right either way, but more than likely that's the reason for his comments towards pac.
Thats because the Pacquiao Filipino boxing fans have absolutely no life outside of their lover boy Pac...They almost elected him president for Christs sake lol.
Adam Carolla was 100 percent right in mocking them.
I for one can't understand why so many people on here hate on Tim Bradley and Danny Garcia.They are both excellent American fighters who give the fans their money's worth. They are both undefeated fighters who are willing to fight anyone.
Danny Garcia is a friggin beast !! He beat The Machine and Lucas is plain bad-ass.He is undefeated,has a very nice resume, and seems like a good guy. This guy schooled Alexander,KTFO'd Khan and Morales, and beat Matthyse. People are hating on him for his dad ? I love watching this dude fight.He is old school Philly boxing at it's best.
Bradley is fighing a HOF ATG in JMM and has an excellent resume.He "just finds a way to win, baby." Maybe he loses to JMM,we'll see but he has balls and is a true WARRIOR. He will fight tooth and nail vs JMM,great fight coming up and I have$$$ on Bradley winning it over JMM(one of my favorite fighters of all-time.)
I don't get all the hating on here for these two WARRIORS.
:boxing::boxing::boxing:
I'm not sure on the psychology of Bradleys haters but for Garcia it's ONLY because they hate Angel Garcia....It's the most pathetic thing ever. To underrated Danny because they are butthurt over his father...How pathetic!!!
I've been following Danny for a while and he's never fought dirty like this. I think it's really obvious if you watch the fight closely that these shots were part of his gameplan.
Garcia has always hit people low since he throws his body shots in a weird way..Watch the fights with Khan and Morales he hit them low several times.
Stop deep-throating your lover boy Matthyse and accept that he lost...He has been exposed and will never be an elite fight
yeah tough bradley, months slurred speech and months do not know where he is waking up, messed up provos face, winning against marquez in such way and heres provo again in a "war" and winning. sure.
Adam Carolla willed Bradley to win over Pacquiao :)
They both kill him.
I'm not sold on Provodnikov, I thought Alvarado was going to win but after seeing him look like a skeleton I didn't think he'd make it past 3, instead he was equal with Pro. up until the last few rounds. I'm not even sure if Pro can beat Rios.
Seeing Bradley beat him the way he did also doesn't make me believe he can beat the top guys at 147. He's got an great chin and great power, but lacks everything else.
"Seeing Bradley beat him" as if thats an insult or something to look down apon...Bradley just beat Marquez without much trouble and he's top 10 lb for lb...Nothing wrong with barely losing to Bradley.
Provodnikov fought Bradley to a tougher fight than Marquez did.....
Provodnikov would beat the **** out of overrated Matthyse...Alvarado would have pieced Matthyses ass up to...And Bradley would embarrass him.
I think he stops lucas in 10, and danny stops provo inside of 10.
Danny is too versatile with power and chin and timing
Agreed...He would beat Matthyse but get outboxed by Garcia
I seen a lot of people accuse him as the reason why the Floyd/Canelo fight was boring, but I thought the complete opposite. Canelo was doing absolutely nothing in that fight. Floyd just pounded away on him & blocked most of Canelo's shots. It's not Floyd's fault that Canelo didn't know what to do in the fight.
Agreed...Plus Canelo has 15-20lbs on Floyd and still was scared to push the action even against a guy 15lbs smaller than him.
Floyd was just fighting smart. It was Canelo who should have taken alot more risks.
Can I ask something? why do you need to call someone by their race, "hey Ni g g a". Why cant you just say " Hey dude" or whatever. Some posters here saying that in Spain they refer to blacks as n e g r o s, does that make it right just because everyone's doing it? hell na, I DONT CARE WHAT CONTEXT IT'S USED. I can't go around calling white people " red neck" or whatever. No excuses for what Sergy said.
And people must not come with that " but blacks call each other that the whole time" bull crap, cause it's not the same thing.
People saying, " he from Russia, he don't know any better' -GTFO with that BULL S H I T.
Russians have never oppressed Blacks/Africans in any way.
Blacks commit the most crimes in America, but worldwide? I don't think so....In Europe it's mostly Arabs/Moroccans committing crimes.....in New Zealand it's Maori/Polynesians....basically whatever major minority group in that said country that has worse economic conditions and less job opportunities.
Most Russians have never even seen a Black person before so they have really no opinion (negative or positive) on them compared to Western European Whites. So Kovalev may just legitimately dislike most of the Blacks he has encountered in America. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe he trains in the "hood" and encounters lower class Blacks.
2nd pro fight. He needs to work on his jab. Not that he needed it in this fight though.
Wow he looks very talented....Great prospect.
By the way his pro debut against PJ Cajigas has been taken down from Youtube.....But I did find another link to it on another website....
Egor Mekhontsev VS PJ Cajigas (Pro Debut)....He starts slow and measured, but then really picks it up and throws bombs in the 3rd round....

Has anyone seen his fight against Dwayne Williams on Friday Night Fights from last April???
I heard he was the most impressive fighter of the night....And that he put a real beat-down on his opponent.
I've been looking for this myself but have had no luck. If I find a copy I will PM you & post it up in here
Yea it was supposed to be aired on Espn, but they didn't have time so they cut it off of the TV portion of the FNF show.....
But I heard he (Egor) had the most dominant performance of the entire night...And that it took Williams a few minutes to get up from the canvas.
I will do the same for you if I can find it....
agrreed lol
They are both pretty overrated by Martinez would still whoop GGG.
Trout should move up and fight Golovokin...He would win pretty easily imo.
Rios would win...There is nothing in Ruslans resume that would indicate that he's better than Rios...He's just your typical "unknown" fighter that everyone obsessively nuthuggs along with GGG and Matthyse....like it's the cool thing to do or something when some guy comes out of the blue.
Don't get me wrong I like Ruslan but what has he done besides trick Bradley into getting into a brawl with him to indicate he would beat Rios?? Yea he's bigger but still.
Rios or Alvarado would stop him in 10
Excellent fight if it happens....Macklin gave Martinez trouble and GGG is still untested against a top guy.
I would back GGG but Macklin definitely has a shot to win it.
Once Garcia faces a guy who's not scared of his counters he's in trouble. He gets hit a lot if a guy has the courage to come right back at him. I think I know just the guy for the job too..

Garcia beat Judah alot more convincingly than Matthyse did....
The guy to beat Garcia is Peterson and (hypothetically) Alvarado....Rios and Matthyse would lose 100 percent to Danny.
Garcia wasn't throwing his trademark left hook because that punch is rarely effective against a Southpaw.
The complete absence of the left hook, which is obviously money punch, was interesting.
I thought the game plan (once I had seen a couple of rounds) would be to be right-hand heavy but drop the left in eventually. Never came. Maybe they were saving it for late but he was tired/hurt by then.
I sorta felt they were experimenting tonight too, to ensure he doesn't become dependent on his left-hook.
Not really....The left hook is pretty hard to land/unusable on a southpaw. Had Zab been a righty he would have been throwing it often like against Khan
Gavin Rees's handspeed was able to get inside on Broner, I think Judah could manage something similar but with power.
Gavin Rees is also a 2 foot tall Midget and you could tell that Broner was having trouble dealing with a guy so short and having to punch so far downward...That won't be the case with Judah who is of normal height.
Garcia is the best 140lb in the division....With the exception of maybe Peterson
Garcia/Peterson are 1,2.....Rios/Alvarado are 3,4 and than overrated Matthyse at 5
