Legend
some great matches coming up...and no ppv!!!

I would love to see Thurman beat Garcia, but my gut is telling me that Garcia pulls this one out...kovalev/ward 2 gonna take kovalev...santa cruz/Frampton 2 gotta go with leo he will be better prepared this time.
 
geez...I thought we had more boxing fans!!!
 
I still think Garcia takes Thurman!!!

but it's one of those situations where I will be happy if I am wrong.
 
Kovalev is my current favorite (active) boxer! Love watching that dude do his thing!

I use to love Manny PAC and before him I loved to watch Aturo Gatti. Tito Trinidad was another past favorite of mine.

I was at Gatti/Ward 3 in AC! I used to go to a lot of boxing fights, but I don't really go anymore. Boxing fights are so electrifying to watch in person. It's probably my favorite sporting even to go to even though I go to way more football games.
 
tomorrow night is the big fight...my money is on Garcia, but would love to see Thurman win!!!

I am rooting for Thurman too! I would say it's an even 50/50 shot on this one.

YUP...SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE...always nice to see- at least on paper a good matchup!!!

Great fight last night!

agreed....Thurman clearly won-can't believe it was a split decision...gotta give Garcia credit, the man definitely has a chin-those upper cuts Thurman landed would have decked most fighters!!!
 
True! Thurman won every round except two IMO. Did you watch the undercard fight before the main event?

lol...total mismatch...ray leonard even said so at the beginning---kinda nice he told the truth and didn't hype it like they usually do....always liked ray!!!
 
That undefeated kid Lubin in the undercard looks solid to me. It was a hell of a knockout!

it was indeed a hellova knockout...he pulled back and threw his full weight and momentum into it...but, a more skilled boxer would have seen that one coming, imo....very rarely do I see a top notch boxer get caught with that kind of punch, I need to see lubin up against a more talented fighter!!!
 
Absolutely^ that guy wasn't very talented, but he was known for having a good chin. So it was still somewhat impressive to me. But yeah a better fighter wouldn't have even been hit by that punch.

absolutely...Garcia has a great chin too, but Garcia would never have got tagged by that haymaker.
 
THE TRIPLE GGG-- DANNY JACOBS fight did not disappoint...would love to see a rematch!!!

but 1st looking forward to canelo--triple GGG

Curious if Jacobs could still hang in there with GGG if he actually made weight.

I didn't get to watch the Triple GGG vs Jacobs fight. I hear it was pretty even.

Is triple GGG vs Canelo really going to happen?

that is a very good question....if it does I will have to find a place to watch it on ppv!!!


in the meantime I will be watching lomachenko on Saturday night!!! if you've never seen lomachenko he is a real treat to watch, guy is amazing!!!
 
Never seen him fight. I will try to find parts of some of his older fights online. This Saturday night huh? I will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the heads up.

look at his last fight-awesome!!!

TKO 11 round!!! That dude is fun to watch!

yeah, my favorite boxer to watch atm....good defense but he takes chances and does get hit, but no one wants to fight him-he breaks guys down then makes them look stupid slow.

Yeah thanks for mentioning this guy! I like him because it's always fun watching someone this talented at their craft. He is mad fast and throws good combos. He punches hard enough too. I like how he can dodge punches well, but he doesn't seem scared to get hit and may even let it happen sometimes.

this is what makes him much more entertaining to watch than Floyd...

Floyd was never entertaining! I only watched him in hopes he would get knocked out. But, your right defensively he would never put himself out there for that to happen. He may be a very dumb person, but in the ring he is as smart as they come.

exactly!!

I am hoping lomachenko fights again soon. if he can find someone willing!!!!
 
ELROCK said:
I wouldn't be suprised if people start ducking this guy.

lol...they already are!!!

it's going to be hard to find top notch fighters willing to go against him. gary Russell jr was very highly ranked and he got schooled--just like walters and sosa.
 
I hate Chavez jr....but it would be really cool if he would beat canelo----not going to hold my breath, but if the odds are good enough I might put a few bucks on jr...

Canelo handles Chavez jr IMO!!! I don't see JR taking that match-up.

It would be a good fight to watch though.

i agree...but like I said if odds are good enough I might put down $50....I had $100 on douglas beating Tyson, I think the payoff was 50-1.

if you didn't watch the dirrell fight last night-do it!!!

it is must see tv!!!
 
I see lomachenko is scheduled to fight again next month!!!!

if you haven't saw him yet this is your chance!!!

no ppv, espn!!!
 
I'm hoping mikey Garcia puts a hurting on broner...very good chance of this happening although word is broner is training hard and taking this fight seriously---Garcia always takes his fights seriously!!!
 
lomachenko fights tonight on espn....this is the fighter to watch!!!
 
ELROCK said:
I agree, but the fight last night was pretty damn boring. He did try to make it exciting though.

I am hoping for a gervanta davis fight...but lomachenko is promoted by bob arum and davis by Floyd...bob and Floyd have bad blood-but hey, money talks!!!
 
looks like cotto is finally going to retire after Saturdays fight, seems like he has been around for ever...king of the liver punch!!!
 
RIGO VERSUS LOMO Saturday night on espn....even if not a hardcore boxing fan I highly recommend checking this one out!!!

I hate boxing on espn, commercial cutaways are a pita but this one is a real gem!!!
 
linares versus lomachenko this weekend!!!


should be entertaining...I don't see linares quiting on the stool!!!

lomo wins on points unanimous decision.
