Wilder
Lots of talk but let's see the action, Klitschko fights nobody's, time to take on some opponents who can reach him and have proven ability. Not sure if anyone watched today but that was WWE had zero to do with a boxing match. Laughable dumb entertainment IMHO.
let's give the guys with some power or ability a chance, Wilder, Stiverne/ Arreola (this version) and Fury. At least it would be boxing and not a freak show
Shah is killing Amir's career
First the row with Ariza which I at first doubted to be completely true but after reading this I believe Ariza. I think Closkey's manager said it right when he said Khan should know where he came from and what he had to do and respect his opponents. Been a Khan fan so far but I hope he a rematch with Maidana will be made and Maidana finishes the job this time
what a disgrace
That ref shold never be refereeing again in his life. He is either racist or on the take no other explanation.
What a (low) blow for boxing
Good interview, I liked the interviewer being informed and this able to ask the right questions. Too often interviewers know little and thus results are not what the fans expect
Anyway Floyd said it there is no way around it, he is afraid of his health when facing Manny Pacquiao and he will only take that risk for a huge amount of money
Floyd is no coward, no boxer is a coward but he admits Manny Pacqiuao may be someone who can give him a serious beating and he won't take that risk unless he gets insane money
corruption
Corruption in boxing must stop it's killing the sport. I wonder is the home 'pressure/ hand outs' or the promotor putting his weight behind the decision.
What drives the judges to be corrupt?
The only true fight worth watching tonight is Postol Mathysse is what I meant number 1 against number 7 ring ratings, that one showcases talent. The other one is BS, number 5 against a fighter not ranked top 10
No dude you got beat up and outclassed both in the ring as outside the ring by Porter, like you got beat up by Chino and as you will get beat up in more fights moving forward. Eat it and carry it like a man don't complain lik a little b..ch. You are a loudmouth copy cat of a bad example gatekeeper at best who got carefully carried and managed into cheap belts.
Decent but lazy talent at best, hope he gets beat up tonight again ad we finally get rid of him for good. Watching Mathysse Postol the only true fight for a belt at 140 on TV tonight
Bob Arum is a fraud and bad for boxing
Isn't it obvious, the last 3 big obviously fraudulent score cards were the Marquez Pac fight, the Juanma fight (Juanma ahead on the cards when he was knocked out) and now the Rios fight.
What's the common denominator? Exactly all 3 are Top Rank fighters and they must win as every other boxer with some name and pedigree is somewhere else
It cannot be proven but IMHO Bob is a big fraud, he is killing boxing and he is also the reason why we never saw Pac VS Mayweather in their prime ( I couldn't be bothered abt that fight anymore now it's too late)
Bob Arum does not give a flying f about the people who make him and the fighters money indeed us the fans
Boxing needs a desperate clean up
So how good is Khan then really under Hunter? Struggled with Algieri where a greatly over the hill Pacquiao blasted the same guy. He won a decent decision over Alexander but look this journeyman Martinez wish over the same guy clearly too. Let's see Khan first agains a Porter or Thurman and we'll talk again. Meanwhile he better shut up a little
Theory
Yup. Right on the money.
So my theory, if Mayweather had lost a mega fight between Pacquiao and him would have been A more likely again and B on more equal terms again (both lost).
Guess who would benefit most of this? Right Bob Arum, I bet you he is the mastermind behind all this.
Unbelievable on a night where boxing could have made step back into mainstream sport and had millions watching on TV and bars its ugly head had to rear again. The falseness and corruptness is written all over her face
Shame
Maidana owned Broner
LOL, Broner coming in bouncing al over trying to look badass or something like that and Maidana just shoving him out of the way hahaha. Priceless the dumbed look on Broner's face
It's good to have another unlikeable villain in boxing but what annoys me most is his blatant trying to be Mayweather where he can't. Broner doesn't have the height, the talent, the brains, the style of Floyd. Have your own personality man
I just can't take Teddy serious, he is amusing although annoying at times as a commentator but to have this guy as your trainer can't see it.
I see an upset, Rios in the 8th to 10th round by TKO from beating Tim up over many rounds. Tim will start fast Rios catches up in the middle rounds and TKO maybe towel
Yeah right Arum hired a top eye specialist, anyone seen the eye recently? It looks grotesque. That guy should never fight again he should protect that eye whatever is left
Arum paid a specialist to clear him is more likely the truth
criminal
if Roach and Garcia dont take action they are as criminal as Arum, what a disgrace and boxing world stand up as you are killing the sport. please someone stand up and investigate Bob ARUM YOU ARE A CRIMINAL
So will we finally see Wladimir Klitschko fight someone who isn't a complete idiot or undersized? Or will we what until Stiverne is 40. Fight now it's hot
poor discipline
He looked flabby in the waist during fight night and needed a substance to drain himself. The man just doesn't have any discipline
As much as I dislike and distrust Ariza I think this is 100% on the fighter and makes Pacquiao's win a lot less convincing of his return
I like how gbp/haymon guys are calling out top rank guys and/or vise versa. Put the pressure on the promoters to make the fight.
That's right, the fighters can push the promoters. Porter VS Provodnikov or Porter/ Thurman VS Pacman sign me up for those too
sh*thouse
he is a sh*thouse of a rude human being, bad role model fighting tomato cans. hope he gets beat up again, people like him should not be idolized
And thats exactly why people watch him, because they hope he gets beat up so I am a sucker for the same
Is Pac taking it serious not training in LA? Rios can punch and has a huge chin, it could also be the end of Pac. old Pac would destroy Rios, this Pac I am not sure
By the way nice toe on the middle girl ;-)
really? WarKhan? Overtime he goes to war he gets KTFO or he gets wobbled, no Khan needs to stay away from war. That's why no one wants to see a fight with Mayweather, that would prod the ultimate dud of a fight One has to stay way to get KTFO and the other can't knock anyone out but maybe Khan
Plus after the exposure against Chris Algieri who had a tougher fight against walking punchbag Provodnikov no one and I mean no one but die hard Mayweather fans who would see him fight a donkey or die hard Khan fans would watch this. So it would bomb on PPV. Maybe irrelevant as the pacman fight made so much but from a neutral fan this fight is not attractive MHO
power and class
Impressed with Porter he is the real deal IMHO would whoop all but the top 3 at the moment and in a few fights he will be in the top 3
Appreciate fighters with class, glad he showed none of the dumb immature gangster crap or disrespecting your opponent. Top class athletes are role models for the youngsters good to see Porter giving respect to a former champ
