    Mayweather v Bruseles

    Ok, they're going on about the lack of crowd or national writers, but what do they expect? You match one of the most naturally gifted boxers to ever live against someone unheard of outside hardcore fandom for a belt I think was invented for the sole purpose of making this a 12 rounder (and putting something around Floyd's waist) and it doesn't exactly have broad appeal.
    I'm pretty hardcore, but if this weren't a free fight, I wouldn't be watching.

    The only reason I tuned in was to see the Peter v Diaz fight. This fight is incidental. Maybe I'll get lucky and be surprized, but I figger PBF by early KO.

    M - B
    10-9 (Bruseles had it closer than I thought, though. PBF is too fast for him)
    10-9 (Brusleles is still keeping up the pressure. He might actually win a round eventually, if he throws punches while stalking)
    10-9 (Same as last round. PBF needs to put this guy away)
    10-9 (I'm beginning to think PBF doesn't have enough power for 140. Hitting at will, but not even phasing Bruseles)
    10-9 (A couple of hard Floyd shots, still not phasing Bruseles)
    10-9 (If Floyd can't dissaude Bruseles from coming forward, what will he do to dissuade Tzyu or Gatti?)
    10-9 (yawn)
    10-7 (why did they stop this??????????)

      Ok, in final analysis, Floyd gave out the schooling everyone expected, but it certainly took longer than I expected.

      If Floyd lets Gatti or Tzyu stand in close like that, he's going to get hurt.

        There's no way in hell Bruseles was going to win that fight, but that was still a bull**** stoppage.

        Mayweather is simply amazing.

        "The Patriots" lmao.

              Flotd knocked him down twice. I guess that his corner wanted the stoppage?

              I really don't understand it. He went down twice from bodyshots, but there weer only a few seconds left in the round. He should've been given the chance to recover.

              As for Floyd's Uncle Roger being the best trainer in the world, I think that DLH might argue with that...

                    Or a garbageman, like his most famous nuthugger?
