didn't they call sam langford the boston tar baby?
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that. They called him the Boston Tar Baby and also the Boston Terror I believe.
The only fight I have seen in a movie theater was Hopkins-Jones II. Even though that fight wasn't very meaningful by that time, and where I live there were not very many people there, but it was still AWESOME to see a fight on the big screen. It was also a lot cheaper than buying the Pay Per View at home. If you have never seen a fight in a movie theater, I would recommend that you see a fight there at least one time. I bet Vegas would be one of the best, if not the best place to see a fight in the theater.
I am watching the Showtime card because I will be at my parents house this Saturday, and they only have Showtime. I will watch the Martinez fight replay on Sunday.
2 big fights were cotto-foreman and Dzinzurik- Martinez
But I also go to small pro shows around NyC all the time
Good stuff. Small pro shows would be cool, and since you live in NY you know another big fight will come through there before too long.
They seem to have a lot of smaller pro fights in Chicago, I think I might start going up to them a couple times a year if no other fights come around here.
nah, i live 20 mins north of NYC, but i do go to vegas 3-4 times a year.
Plenty of good fights in NYC too. I really only go to fights if they are in Chicago, St Louis or Indianapolis since I live in the middle of all of them. Too bad I wasn't into boxing in the early 2000's cause my friend got to see Mosley-Forrest II in Indianapolis.
Bradley-Alexander Asked my pops to take me down for the weekend for my 17th birthday lol
Hell of a good birthday present. Sucks it had to end the way it did though
Cotto Clotey,Willams Martinez 1, Karl dargan some random guy,Cotto foreman, Judah Matysse, Mayweather Ortiz.
going to Martinez barker this weekend, and Cotto Margarito 2
Damn you seen a bunch of good one. You live in or around Vegas?
calzaghe-kessler, mayweather-hatton, calzaghe-hopkins, hatton-lazcano, calzaghe-jones and mayweather-mosley.
Calzaghe and Hatton were two of my favorites when they were fighting, that would have been great to be at those fights.
Yup now I'm also going to cotto marg II
The foreman fight was so fukking loud, this fight will be unreal!
I was going to ask you if you were planning on going to that. You know that will be a great one.
I've been pretty lucky to go to some decently big fights. Recently I've gone to Cotto V Margartio, Cotto V Foreman, Alexander V Bradley, Dirrell V Abraham, and Mayweather V Augustus. Now that I have some money I try to go to at least one big fight a year. Bradley V Alexander was a short drive so I plan on making it out for Cotto V Margarito 2.[/QUOTE
Cotto vs Margarito.......you lucky bastard lol
Cotto vs. SSM, Gatti vs.Ward and Mayweather vs. Ortiz. Atmosphere is awsome, everyone is yelling and all pumped up, you get all into it and really enjoy it.
Lucky you, those were both great fights!
Just went to my first pro fight last month, it was Monty Meza-Clay vs. Carlos Rivera in Pittsburgh. Not a great opponent for Monty, but the venue was crazy nice it was outside with seating on 3 sides of the ring and the river on the other. Some other local guys fought too, Roy Jones Jr. promoted it though so I got to get a pic with him and an autograph at the weigh ins.
That's bad ass. If I would have got ringside tickets for the Alexander fight I could have got a pic with Roy.
If they tables were turned all the people that are defending Floyd for that move would be screaming that Ortiz sucker punched him and it was bullsh*t. It might have been a "legal" shot but it was still a cheap and dirty shot on Floyd's part.
4 million buys was predicted for Mayweather-Mosley and that didn't even make 2 million, so there is no way this fight would. If Mayweather and Pacquiao don't fight then I would love to see Mayweather fight Martinez.
Martinez should just forget about trying to get fights with Welterweights Pacquiao and Mayweather and worry about fighting Middleweights. He just wants the payday that comes from fighting one of them. From what I read he was getting offered a few million to fight Pirog so he should take that fight, it makes a lot more sense than him with Pacquiao or Mayweather.
