Just so that no one bugs me after the fight

telling me i was nuthugging here or there before the fight.

I do believe that pbf is p4p#1 and he is p4p better than oscar at any point in his career.

I am firmly convinced that pbf is a natural lightweight and oscar a natural welterweight.

I think the size difference could push the fight in favor of oscar, i would not be surprised if oscar stopped pbf, i would not be surprised if he hurts him and he gets the W after floyd gets too defensive.

I would not be surprised at all if floyd wins a boring, careful UD (in fact if odds were even, this is where i would put my money) a boxing masterpiece, but a snoozer.

I would be surprised if floyd actually fights and maybe even stops dlh late, but i dont consider this impossible, especially if he is quitting boxing for real, and the reason are his hands.
The guy can fight, but to stop oscar he should use his hands as if it actually was his last fight.

I have no idea on the effects of the whole floyd sr/roger/freddy roach affairs in each corner.

I hope it makes for a great fight and all of us on the board have fun.

boxing is alive. long live to boxing.

Undercard & PPV Thoughts

Im still debating wether I should get this fight or not. Its been a long time since I ordered a fight. I use to still cable and get them all for free but now I cant get it since all this Digital crap came along. Ever since then it just kills me to think about paying alot for a fight I can watch for free the following week. Still, there's nothing like watching a fight live. Its weird when you already know who won. I use to think about trying not to watch boxing stuff on TV or on the web until I saw the replay but its just too far away and by time you talk about stuff it seems old.

My brother use to be a big Wrestling fan and would order PPV's but thats different because they dont show Wrestling replays. Also, most of the time he bought one it would suck. I would kill myself if I bought this and Floyd lost or the fight itself just ****** and was boring like Oscar-Tito. Still though, I have a feeling its going to be great. I may just go out somewhere and watch it but I hate doing that. Its too distracting. I like to be able to see and hear everything. Plus, you always end up with a bunch of idiots who dont know anything about boxing and are just casual fans. They talk alot of trash but actually know nothing about the sport. Also, the undercard definatly isnt helping me. I dont want to see any of those fights. If it had just one great fight then I would probally by it but none of those are anything special. What should I do?

It shouldnt be left to us,u should know in your head if your a true boxing fan whether to get it or not.

[oldgringo]

call some friends and split it up. simple solution. i'm about to leave to go watch this with about 10 other people...makes it a social event in addition to lowering the price. i'm the only real boxing fan in the bunch too.

If you are a true boxing fan, you will find a way to watch this fight. That's all there is to it...

[DLT]

Hey, Im a huge boxing fan. Im even betting $880 on the fight tonight. Im also scared about that because I picked Floyd by decision. I feel comfortable in it and pretty comfortable that he will win but Ill be pissed if he KO Oscar. For some strange reason I think he might do it. Im betting that having Oscar in tip top shape should take that option away

[Kobe Bryant]

Order it. I could see if ot wasn't two stars. But that's not the case.

Oh yeah I can never watch a replay already knowing the outcome unless its legendary.
