The Boxing Thread (Sweet Science) - Mayweather vs. Maidana

[Archer]

yeah thats about right.

well i decided not to buy the fight i hope it goes according to plan cause i would hate to miss an upset

I don't see where the big upset would be . Marquez according to most experts and myself beat Manny both times (especially the 2nd time)

But yet they said Manny - Mayweather could go either way if they fought? um.....ok

JMM - the most ducked fighter in recent history

Mayweather missed the 142 limit, came in at 146, JMM came in at 142

From the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for tomorrow night’s “Number One/Numero Uno” card promoted by Golden Boy Promotions & Mayweather Promotions, televised on HBO-PPV:

Floyd Mayweather 146 vs. Juan Manuel Marquez 142*
* Contractual weight was the 147 pound welter limit, but penalties were written into the contract for excess poundage over 144. ”The penalty [for Mayweather] was a significant amount of money,” said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer.

really, you really dont' think that if JMM wins it wouldn't be considered an upset, Mayweather is a 4-1 favorite, not to mention every single expert has picked him to win, Not to take anything away from JMM, but please the only way he wins is if Mayweather is completely rusty, which I don't expect, anything but a Mayweather win would be considered an upset.

It would be an upset , wrong choice of words on my part . I just think that JMM is ALOT better than people seem to be giving him credit for


You say he only wins if hes rusty yet in a poll made about Manny and Floyd (speculation poll) it was like 52% in favor of Mayweather . How can that fight be judged to be so close but JMM , who beat Manny in most peoples minds be such a huge underdog?

He is an underdog but not to that degree

[JrRawlins]

styles clearly make fights........ Manny vs JMM is a totally different fight than PBF vs JMM...
here is why.....

Manny is aggressive and leaves himself open to be counter-punched which is what JMM specializes at........ PBF doesnt really take chances and is extremely accurate.... is JMM is gonna come forward he could pay dearly... different fight different expectations...

[JrRawlins]

i love watchin Katsidis fight....he is overly aggressive....

[SHOGUN]

And down goes MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!




















Sike. PBF is raping this dude right now.

[clovett]

PBF won easily. Believe he won every round.

[JrRawlins]

not sure what round they gave Marquez...... but that shit was ugly...... just like i thought...... at least i got to see Katsidis fight......

[JrRawlins]

Mayweather by landslide.... too much speed and size for him.... not much to talk about... Marquez is a solid fighter, but the size/speed differential will be too much.... i am gonna check the undercards before i even decide to purchase this fight...

like i said, ugly... damn... that post fight interview went badd....... real bad.. Mosley was kinda out of line though......

[krulmichael]

like i said, ugly... damn... that post fight interview went badd....... real bad.. Mosley was kinda out of line though......

What happened in the post-fight interview?

[JrRawlins]

Kellerman asked about Mosley........ Mosley climbed into the ring..... and a very small scuffle broke out between Mosley and Mayweather's bodyguards....... and Kellerman and Mayweather kinda got into and the interview ended...

[Dan The Man]

12%?

That's like me playing Fight Night

[BigBucs]

Mosley need to sit his ass down some where he aint ready for Mayweather.

Imma keep it simple... shut the fuck up. Mosley G checked Mayweather and he got emotional like a bitch who wanted no parts of him would.
