Anyone watch the Pacquiao vs Thurman fight last night?
Good fight, Paq looked your the first two rounds. Interesting Thurman landed more at a higher % but Paq was more effective. Thurman is a good pro, I think he will make a good run after this.Anyone watch the Pacquiao vs Thurman fight last night?
Pacquiao really impressed me that he could knock Thurman down and that he actually won the fight at 40 years old.Good fight, Paq looked your the first two rounds. Interesting Thurman landed more at a higher % but Paq was more effective. Thurman is a good pro, I think he will make a good run after this.
Agree! My money is on LomanchenkoWho is your money on???
This is gonna be an awesome fight. The power of Lopez, and the matrix of Lomanchenko.

i think lomachenko should hang up the gloves and retire, he clearly wasn't the lomachenko of 3 years ago.Damn well wasn’t expecting the fight to go the way it did. Lomacheko never got started. Lopez fought the perfect fight and showed solid defense. I think Lomachenko should drop down to 130lbs and dominate there.
Just because he didn’t look great against a very good undefeated fighter doesn’t mean he needs to retire.i think lomachenko should hang up the gloves and retire, he clearly wasn't the lomachenko of 3 years ago.
Once he goes back and watches that fight he and his camp will see what we saw. They will make adjustments and come back stronger.i think lomachenko should hang up the gloves and retire, he clearly wasn't the lomachenko of 3 years ago.

Lopez fought an almost flawless fight, if Loma wouldn't have punted the first five rounds its a totally different fight. He pretty much always gives away the first round for measuring up his opponent, but dam he did it for the first five rounds and Lopez took advantage.
Not being in the ring for 18 months, Lopez's youth, and giving away the rounds all played against him for sure.
Was really hard for me to watch for sure.
I think he still got a few good fights left in the tank
yes, as a big loma fan it was painful to watch that fight...he didn't look all that great against campbell either.Once he goes back and watches that fight he and his camp will see what we saw. They will make adjustments and come back stronger.

I'm hearing July 24th. Wilder is a bum. I hope Fury gets him out even quicker this time. Wilder hasn't improved since he 1st won the title by decision against Bermaine Stiverne. Really, when is the last time he won a round without scoring a knock down? Probably better than 5 years now. He's a garbage human being for the slanderous **** he's said about Mark Breland.looks like fury/wilder 3 needs to happen before september?
i really thought wilder had a lot of potential when i 1st saw him fight...you are right very little improvement since the stiverne fight. i think ortiz in his prime would have ko'ed wilder by 7th.I'm hearing July 24th.

I like Wilder, he isnt a "talented" boxer but everytime I watch him I just stare because his punches can be deadly at any moment.I'm hearing July 24th. Wilder is a bum.

Ortiz is one hell of a good boxer, he always is enjoyable to watch.i really thought wilder had a lot of potential when i 1st saw him fight...you are right very little improvement since the stiverne fight. i think ortiz in his prime would have ko'ed wilder by 7th.
whatcha think, our boy lomackenko done?I like Wilder, he isnt a "talented" boxer but everytime I watch him I just stare because his punches can be deadly at any moment.
Tyson Fury, well I like him better, he is just a far more talented that Wilder and an incredible heart. I dont think any other boxer on the planet could have pulled off that Undertaker Move like he did went Wilder put him down.
Thats all my opinion outside of the politics of sports. I try to block that out when I can, boxing is about showing up in the ring and entertaining the crowd.
After that one bad fight absolutely not, but to tell you the truth I totally forgot about him lolwhatcha think, our boy lomackenko done?
i think he has to many miles on him....i would rather see him retire than not be able to perform at his best which way too many boxers do, imo.After that one bad fight absolutely not, but to tell you the truth I totally forgot about him lol
Its been a really strange year
I think what got him is overchallenging himself and going too far up weight classes. I guess thats what you have to do when you are so dominating your trying to find ways to sure boredom.i think he has to many miles on him....i would rather see him retire than not be able to perform at his best which way too many boxers do, imo.
for that one brief flicker in time loma was a human highlight reel.
i hope silva whips jr's ass...but who in their right mind would pay PPV price to watch it????LMAO I was checking the schedule and June 19th we have on PPV Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Anderson Silva and Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Hector Camacho Jr. on the undercard!
would have been really interesting if his pro career had started at a earlier age though-eh?I think what got him is overchallenging himself and going too far up weight classes. I guess thats what you have to do when you are so dominating your trying to find ways to sure boredom.
One fight that made me like Jr. was when he fought Sergio Martinez. That was the highlight of his career even though he lost. He had heart for one night.i hope silva whips jr's ass...
never seen any fight that made me think jr isn't a chump. kinda reminds me of a asshole who would sneak up behind someone and sucker punch them.One fight that made me like Jr. was when he fought Sergio Martinez. That was the highlight of his career even though he lost. He had heart for one night.
Sergio Martinez is one of my favorite boxers...did you know he came back last year after retired for 7 years because of the knee surgeries? Im not saying he is great now, but he was always a great watch incorporating soccer into boxing, lol!
would oscar really be interested in a return to the ring...i know he's made a ton of money with golden boy.There was a time when Jr. went through Andy Lee that I thought and saw some upside. But he came out against Martinez uninspired and still almost finished him in the 12th and we haven't seen that from him since. I think Sergio beat the heart out of him that night. Loved Sergio. He was a hell of a fun fighter to watch.
I know he's making a comeback of sorts but I think the fight to be made on Triller is Sergio Maravilla Martinez vs Oscar DeLahoya. They are both on the back half of their 40's and I think it could sell over a million buys and be both competitive and entertaining.
I just looked into it, he was supposed to fight on July 3 but it was pushed back. Looks like he was looking to box a former UFC fighter. Sounds like another one of those boxers trying to ride the latest exhibition trend.would oscar really be interested in a return to the ring...i know he's made a ton of money with golden boy.
unless he has squandered a fortune or got beat up in a nasty divorce money should not be a problem for oscar--if he does enter the ring again it would be to relive glory and fame, imo.I just looked into it, he was supposed to fight on July 3 but it was pushed back.

Not saying this is Oscar's case, but sometimes money can replace the additive nature of glory and fame.
you are talking about oscar-right?He and GSP (George St. Pierre) were going to box but Dana White being the cunt that he is nixed it as GSP is still under UFC contract.
Thats what I ran into, he was going to fight a MMA guy.you are talking about oscar-right?
anyone but floyd...that guy has to be the #1 most boring boxer of all time.Thats what I ran into, he was going to fight a MMA guy.
Seems like these are getting popular these days, its Celebrity Boxing...I guess talent is so thin people would rather see people they are familiar with beat each other up.
Lol, he is but Im still watching!anyone but floyd...that guy has to be the #1 most boring boxer of all time.
was really hoping manny would deck his ass..floyd was smart though with all the wars manny had been in he just waited till it looked like those wars and age was catching up before he agreed to the fight...this is just my opinion who the hell knows-eh?Lol, he is but Im still watching!
I think Manny would have took him out in 2010. By 2015, Manny had put lots of miles on and had to fight with one arm. I still thought Manny won 5 rounds. My uncle had it 6-6 and one of my cousins had it for Floyd. It wasn't a good fight by any stretch nor did Mayweather run away with it.was really hoping manny would deck his ass..floyd was smart though with all the wars manny had been in he just waited till it looked like those wars and age was catching up before he agreed to the fight...this is just my opinion who the hell knows-eh?

If Mayweather's prime had been in the 80's? He be out of the top five at welter weight.
Leonard
Hearns
Duran
Donald Curry
Wilfredo Benitez
Floyd
I'd have him 6th but Marlon Starling and Lloyd Honeyghan would have been problems for Floyd as would have Milton McCrory. Forget about Leonard, Hearns, Duran and Curry. Floyd would not have fought them for anything.
i was really pulling for manny to win, part because i was a manny fan, part because i would have rooted for almost anyone against floyd, part because of my love and admiration for the filipino people....manny is a national treasure for the filipino people.Manny also revealed he had a shoulder injury after the fight....with all the money on the line I think Id keep that to myself as well.
The commission probably at Floyd's behest denied Manny a cortisone shot prior to the fight. Total fucking pussy move. Especially when it came to light that Floyd illegally used an IV to rehydrate before the fight. I also believe when Floyd retired for a year or two after the Hatton fight that he juiced to the gills because he was getting bullied by Hatton in their fight and all the sudden he comes back as physically strong as anyone in the division. I fucking hate Floyd. He was good enough and capable enough to challenge himself by fighting the best in their primes but he took the dishonorable route and ruined the sport of boxing in the process.Manny also revealed he had a shoulder injury after the fight....with all the money on the line I think Id keep that to myself as well.

Im watching! Of course, its an older Manny and now he hasnt even fought in 2 years so lets see.....maybe sometimes a layoff can heal the body, but being not so young its always harder to get back in top shape.Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr official for August 21 on PPV
Mayweather who was already passed his prime took on Canelo at the beginning of his prime. Gotta give him that at least, Canelo is a monster.The commission probably at Floyd's behest denied Manny a cortisone shot prior to the fight. Total fucking pussy move.

I'll give him credit for that win. I'd say that Mayweather was at the tail end of his prime and Canelo was only about to enter his. Prime Floyd vs Prime Canelo? Not really fair as Canelo is too big. Canelo is carrying boxing right now.Mayweather who was already passed his prime took on Canelo at the beginning of his prime. Gotta give him that at least, Canelo is a monster.
Its hard to say, I remember people thinking Mosley for going to destroy Mayweather and that didnt really end too well after the first couple rounds.I'll give him credit for that win.
