Hope he is not serious, and is just trash talking for an eventual rematch. Saying he'd be fine to retire with a loss to Groves without rematching him isn't what you want to hear from contenders or champions. He beat you in the pros - rematch him, and vindicate the loss.
Close final round. I felt like Canelo had some good moments and forced the action, but Lara also lands 3 pretty clean shots.
I scored it 115-113 Canelo
I could also see a draw
:lol1: at all those saying they 'suppose they will watch'
when/if this fight gets made, everyone is going to go ape ****.
And it will still be a great, competitive fight. If the Manny that just dominated Bradley shows up, and the Floyd that dominated Canelo shows up, boxing fans are STILL going to be in for a huge treat. 50/50 fight.
6-6, real close fight and Maidana for sure won 4 out of the first 5, then Floyd starts to do well but Chino won 2 more rounds for a draw. Need to re watch.
You and I saw the exact same fight.
I had it a draw 114-114.
I had a hard time judging the 10th round, so going into the 11th I was torn between 5-5 even and 6-4 Maidana, so I went with 5-5, giving the 11th to Mayweather, and then the 12th to Maidana.
117-111 was disgraceful. Maidana undoubtedly won the first 4/5 rounds.
Who cried robbery? Most Matthysse fans gave Danny props from what i remember, the only complaints were for the low blows.
I'm one of the biggest Matthysse fans on the forum, and I definitely give Garcia props for that fight. I truly thought he lacked the grit to keep a swarmer like Lucas off of him, and he proved me dead wrong. I will say, however, that I did feel like the fight was close (114-112 Garcia seemed dead on to me), and I will still be rolling with Matthysse in a rematch. I truly believe he will avenge the loss in a rematch. Not sure if by KO, Garcia has an excellent chin to date.
I don't know but I don't mind it at all. Another disgracefull runner.
Happy to see the sport is unforgiving to these sissies and have shunned them away into obscurity (Rigondeaux, Abril, Ward, etc). The only one left relevant is Lara and GB will do the same to him after the fight against Canelo.
Ward is numero uno at 168, and in most top 3 p4p lists... far from obscure. And he doesn't just run, he also beats that ass.
well he didn't outland him that's been clearly proven but you think he did so i guess that's all that matters. throwing a lot of crap punches that don't land while getting hit in return=being the better man. you really understand boxing.
Watched it two weeks ago, so you can't just state things as Gospel truth anymore than I can. I watched the fight. And I love and watch a ton of boxing. Hopkins landed some good, clean shots on Calzaghe, but these were occasional. Meanwhile, Calzaghe adjusted to Bernard as the fight progressed, and was also landing punches on Hopkins; more frequently and aggressively, showing ring generalship which fights are also scored on. Bottom line is, I think Calzaghe clearly deserved the win, and the judges agreed. American judges.
I love Froch, but styles do make fights, and I think Calzaghe would beat him as well.
The Hopkins fight was far from a gift lol. I remember thinking it was a draw. Joe outworked him but Hopkins scored the kd and landed cleaner. From memory, not really a fight I wanna watch again lol
I watched it just a couple weeks ago. Competitive fight, but I think the better man that night got the decision without a doubt. Hopkins did score the nice KD in round 1, but he faded bad in the fight, and Calzaghe just kept coming on strong. Hopkins scored some good clean shots from time to time, but so did Joe, and on top of that, Calzaghe just plain outworked and outlanded him. I, personally, think Hopkins is lucky it wasn't a 15 round fight because I think Calzaghe would have won by an even wider margin. And with every record Hopkins breaks, as much as his haters hate it, it does enhance Joe's 'W' over him. Hopkins had it coming anyway with all of his racist nonsense pre-fight.
That's what it sounded like to me after Weebler pointed it out to me. 1:55.
I don't see how anyone could appreciate racism whether it's for the sake of promotion or if he's just racist himself.
I definitely can't. That is straight up over the line. I feel the same way when fighters bring up their opponent's families.
