What a night for boxing

[MANGLER]

**** the 'boxing is dead' bull****. And **** DLH for goin to do the ******ass MMA show and missin his homey's victory. This was a good nite for boxing, despite the dirty shadow that falls on Marg's camp. SSM just jumped to legendary status if he didn't have it already imo.

you guys are clearly ignoring the facts, and that is the 90% of the crowd were Mexican-American's supporting Margarito... prove me the *** wrong, would Mosley vs Berto, Williams, etc have the same record breaking arena? *** no.

Mexicans are keeping boxing alive...

I didn't realize I made a racial thread........

What does it matter who made up the majority of the crowd? I'm just glad that the seats are filled.

And your last statement is pretty bold.

Everybody packs the house when they fight in their hometown, or close to it.

There was an entire bag full of "illegal substance" confiscated from his locker room, accoring to Larry Merchant and Kevin Iole.

Whoa. I did not know it was that bad. I'll read up on it now.

Looking beyond the fact that Margarito was found to be a dirty cheater, and the fact that Shane Mosley at the age of 37, still had enough left to treat Margarito like his *****.

The Staples Center was packed, an all time high record of attendance. The crowd was electric, most of them were on their feet the entire night. The Governor of California was there, and seemed to be loving the show.

Bernard Hopkins was on his feet for most of the fight, applauding Shane's actions in the ring.

And this is only our 2nd fight card of the year.

Anybody wanna tell me about how boxing is "dead" again?

Thanks i was hoping we still had some true boxing fans who brought up the fact this was indeed a great fight.

So Mosley packed the arena? because that was his hometown not Margaritos... lol

Yeah, the controversy about the handwraps and Shane's past steroid use is overshadowing the fact that it was an epic fight and atmosphere, regardless.

Everybody knows LA's Mexican population live and die for boxing. It's no surprise that the crowd was 90% pro-Margarito.

But your statment about Mexicans keeping boxing alive is ridiculous. They help out a lot, just like the Brits do with Hatton and Calzaghe, just like the people from the East Coast do with Hopkins and Pavlik, just like the Puerto Ricans do with Cotto and Lopez.

Boxing is alive because of all of us, not just one particular group.

That **** was great! The old man beat the most feared man in boxing! We all know that boxing isnt dead and i just cant wait to see what else this year has to offer!
