I am a purist and I love a good technical fight but this was awful. You can be technical and step on the gas a little too. What rigo did to donaire is a great technical performance. Thurman looked terrified to lose his 0. Seriously when was the last time a "big" fight was exciting? Jcc and Martinez 2012?? I mean Floyd stunk up his Showtime contract, manny hasn't had a stoppage in a decade, and canelo beating blown up Welters is seeing his numbers plummet. I think canelo jcc has more pressure on its back than what I thought. If it doesn't sell and isn't a good fight it's looking pretty bleak
should there be a permanenet hip hop/boxing style thread? Cuz as far as im concerned hip hop culture and boxing are as tightly connected as the NBA and hip hop culture. Leave the classless metal screaming bull**** for the UFC white boy rednecks and there eye-brow piercings...
actually i totally forgot about that pathetic "no fear. we dont **** around" interview which made it worse!! because actually you are fearful and you DO **** around with 5 goddamn pounds *****.
Oh for **** sake I never comment on here anymore but I could not let this one slide.... Warren is tripping hard "why should Klitschko get a shot at the wba?"
Gee maybe cause he ****in held the fukn thing for a decade. Is that ok frank?
I really am shocked at the outrage of the decision. These dummies all following merchants lead, the guy who unashamedly states he 'doesn't score fights" then proceeds to cry robbery. Pfft drama and blood doesn't win the fight and why isn't anyone accepting the compubox stats? The height of ignorance
Also I'm not as impressed with manny as I am shocked at rios's one dimensional style. Alarm bells should have been ringing when Arbil and Alvarado box your head off. Rios should honestly look elsewhere Garcia has taken him as far as he's gonna go, there's still time for a real deep thinking philosophical experienced trainer to give him a fresh perspective and prolong his career. Especially when you've got a camp who will let a guy basically lose vision in his eye before pulling him out. What are friends for I guess
Haha poor max. I agree with Roy.
Did NOT agree with butt hurt rios trying to be big man on campus and save face in post fight interview with max. Max said "you said you weren't just a punching bag........etc" and rios started getting defensive accusing max of calling him a punch bag but it was Brandon who came up with that line! Brandon's quote that max was quoting back to him! I know he took a lot of shots but dummy needs to check his ears before he sounds off, especially when he's on tv. Makes him seem more ignorant than he actually is
Really? Alvarado and abril went life and death with Rios. Manny won basically 12 rounds to 0 or 120-108 on the cards. And you're not impressed? Rios landed probably 2-3 punches in the entire fight. What about that doesn't impress you, retard?
What the **** were you watching? Arbil made easy work of rios, maybe gave rios 1 round
Robert Garcia is not innocent there's only one thing worse than a bully and that is someone who eggs on a bully. For him to laugh along and not pull those idiots up for that Parkinson's **** is condoning it. Anyone who has had a family member/friend with Parkinson's knows that in all seriousness it's no laughing matter
Racism is more than a word it's a mindset. Plenty of upper middle class white people wouldn't dare use the n word because it is politically incorrect. But if they saw a black person they would cross the street and feel uncomfortable.
Camaaaarn , **** outta here. I like pacquiao but by the look of your profile you seem bias. I remember watching it in a packed bar with 400 people there and when the decision was read out the whole place erupted in boos.
I'm sure at least 90 % of people on this forum believe in freedom of religion but if you actually read the first testament of the bible or the Koran or any other religious literature it is coated in racism and racist sentiment.
i thought it was entertaining actually. there was a little bit too much clinching i spose but atleast they were working in the clinch. not like klit just lying on a homeboy. there were harder more head snapping punches landed in this fight than the bradley marquez fight.
with the way the media has evolved into being mostly internet based. and how boxing has shrunk to a small subculture of fans and boxingscene.com is probably THE boxing website/forum that the majority of the fans frequent on. do you guys think that fighters pr teams or the fighters themselves check the response from the fans on here? because if they do i think its a good thing because we are the consumers pay per view purchases that pay their salary so its great because it hopefully pressures these fairies to make the fights people wanna see

freddies health looked to be at its worse during the khan ko to garcia. i remember after the first knockdown when amir stumbled to the corner and freddie couldnt even talk and was shaking violently. but i noticed a vast improvement also.
And I suppose there's a sense of him coming home. He can appear on UFC stuff, he can appear on espn, showtime wherever but hbo championship boxing with lampley and merchant was where it all began. Mikes probably got a soft spot for lampley and hbo because he was literally a teenage kid when he started out on there
While I don't disdain RJJ in the way you do, I definitely thought Tyson was much more natural and consistently insightful. Every once in a while RJJ says something useful, though.
I've got a feeling Roy will improve as time goes on. Hopefully he hangs onto this gig long enough to learn and get better at it because there are brief moments when he makes really insightful interesting points at important times of a fight
Adama went the distance with geale and it was fairly competitive. I guess that's the most logical measuring stick right now if you wish to use one. No point in this thread going any further, I think everyone agrees that this was an opponent he was expected to beat and did. And I think everyone agrees he has to step up the competition. Has nothing to do with "haters" or "hating"

pffft a less than scintillating performance i thought.... doesnt move his head, easy to hit, and very frustrating to watch when he punches at 40% rather than just load up and get a guy out of there. i know people will say its a strategy of his to be cautious and not gas out but ffs its more dangerous to let a guy off the hook especially a big puncher like stevens and leave a guy in the fight. you wanna get a guy like that out of there. theres no way he should have made it past the 4th. the stoppage was more like an accumulation of half hearted slapping punches that were mostly hitting gloves and forearms. yawn......
i dont think theres anything gangster or ghetto bout those two. floyd is nearly 40 years old and the two of them have little sleepovers and play video games and go to get mcdonalds. i wonder if they argue over who gets to keep the toy from the happy meal.
i suppose when you get taken to school by abril and alvarado then get put infront of pac reality is reality......an ass whoopin is in the mail. but i guess papa arum will let him have his biggest allowance so far for being a good little heavy bag.
