who cares MMa only equalized last night. We still have Mercer KTFO Sylvia who was a multiple time UFC champion. Mercer KTFO Sylvia brutally and much faster than Randy tapped out Toney. Took Randy about 4 minutes, took Mercer 15 seconds to destroy Sylvia.
We're equal now MMA. Next time boxing will go one up again, hopefully when Mayorga returns and knocks that ****in homo out
mercer also got tapped by the fraud kimbo, which is pretty bad
i pretty much agree with most of this, except toney kinda asked for it
i would have no problem seeing an older boxer try and get some MMA fights with B/C level MMA fighters
but toney was the one talking mountains of trash
but hey, he took the fight, so respect for that, but geez, ugly
that was like 2 years before the mercer/sylvia fight. Mercer's first attempt or one of the first at MMA he didn't know **** about it.
Whereas versus Silvia Mercer was much better and had studied MMA for a bit longer. You can tell this by watching as soon as he knocks Sylvia out Mercer instantly shoots down for a single leg take down which means that MMA knowledge was already pounded in his head for him to reflexively do that so fast.
So the Kimbo fight really doesn't matter
saw them both, but um, they all matter
although i think the mercer/sylvia fight was much more even going into the fight than couture/toney
and mercer is just one cool MFer anyway
as a boxing fan first, and MMA fan second, i was amazed at how many dumb Fs were saying toney would KO randy, randy was going to killed, etc.
i have no idea what the hell they were smokin'
toney WAS a great boxer (a long time ago)
now he is a mess, and fighting out of his sport....i mean serousily, boxing fan or mma fan or both, it was retarded to expect this fight going any other way
(and i still think a decent boxer who isn't and old fat lazt POS could do ok in MMA with about a year of training, TDD and such)
pretty interesting question
i believe it depends on the state/country in which the fight is being held
various commissions have different rules, so like you said earlier, if it is in mexico or abu dhabi, wth knows
Can you tell me when Floyd actually said that? He said he was having a vacation.. He never said he is not fighting coz of roger not being there. Any link he said that?
Link pls: :owned:
you don't need someone to release a PR or state something to the press that should be simple enough for a second grader to figure out
the only thing i want to hear out of anyone from floyd's or manny's camps is "mayweather-pacquiao is signed."
otherwise, i don't want to hear a damn thing from either lame azz camp
147.1 - 150 is not a weight division.
If Pac comes in at 150, fine, but he should not restrict another fighter more than the rules already do, as far as weight is concerned.
Can't fight a 154 pounder? Then don't.
Want to fight Margo with a catch? Fine, but not for a belt.
PACQUIAO VS. MARGARITO for the vacant W.B.C. jr. middleweight crown?.
Who’s behind all this?
Doesn’t anyone think we are being taken and our intelligence insulted by these people?
How could W.B.C. sanction a title fight between Pacquiao and Margarito?
Yes Margarito is their #1 contender but Pacquiao is not even rated anywhere let alone a jr.middleweight.(super welterweight)
Have they surrendered the title to Margarito without him fighting any of the #2 Saul Alvares of Mexico #3 Ryan Rhodes of G.B. and # 4 Joachim Alcine of Canada.
This is not fair for all those contenders.
The integrity of W.B.C. and those involved is at stake and will be in question if they proceed and sanction this unjust and embarrassing title fight!
i don't get it either...the WBC is making a mockery of themselves
yeah man! or perhaps
W.B.C. is making a mockery of the word mockery by mocking it's meaning as lower than it really mean.
well after pac wins, they can make him the super champion (following the WBAs lead) and award marg the regular title just for participating
**** Manny and his camp. He thinks he can get anything he wants against certain opponents, and he found his match. Floyd was unwillingly to fully accepted Manny's requests, and Manny did the exact same thing. So, **** both of them, and everyone else who blames one side.
yep..manny could have had the fight in march if he accepted the 14-day thing
they are both being babies
Lol.. It says there was a negotiations.. Don't need an explanation there. Are you dumb or what geez??? Floyd camp no nego.. Greenburg there is.
therefore, who was the lying cunt.. Aaah wait drum roll.. it's the mayweather family hehe!
so he could have talked to haymon's receptionist once
what's the big secret...who did he talk with...how often...was it a one time thing, or an ongoing discussion?
was there a contract?
i am not picking sides, i am saying it is generic...some actual details would have been nice
Floyd denied negotiations, Greenburg called thier Bullshiit and told us exactly what Arum said, that he was mediating in the negotiations.
Thier is no secret or conspiracy, your obviously trying to create one to prove to yourself that Floyd was telling the truth
not trying to create anything, asking for some details
who did he talk to...i don't think that is asking too much
i just did.
pretty interesting stuff.
i dunno why i thought he was dead.
He had a stroke a long time ago, and his brother is dead ( had that nasty ring entrance accident).
How in the world is he getting a shot at the 154 title? It is vacant, and the current 154 fighters should have a shot at it...not a guy who never fought at 154.
And how the heck does he get a shot at a vacant 154 title at 150? back-to-back catchweight title attempts?
Awful.
