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

[nflman2033]

i dont' see paulie with much of a chance agains JMM. as far as a hatton rematch, the only thing different this time around would be Hattons mind set, if it is completely off after the Pacquiao fight then yeah he'll lose, but if he bounces back then there is no reason for the fight to go any different than the first one

bouncing is an appropriate term. a lot of work to do.

lol, yeah he always blows up between fights, hince the Ricky Fatton jokes, he has never had any problems getting back to 140, although don't know how he does it, and it know it can't be good for his body, but i was mostly talking about bouncing back mentally from bouncing off of the canvas.

haha yeah he took a nice, deserved beating.

I just meant now that he's over 30, he won't be able to do it anymore or at least not as well. Even with those 2 knockout losses, had he been disciplined between fights he could have had at least another 5 years on his career - he's only 31. The weight gain/loss is taking a toll and will become more harmful to his chances of winning now his body is deteriorating naturally.

about Paulie against JMM.... the speed could be a factor but JMM is a hard-charging fighter and Paulie has ZERO power so it might not matter it could be all JMM.. i agree...

about Hatton he could fight anyone that is a world-class fighter and i am takin the other fighter... he is done in my view.. exposed... he leaves his chin out while he comes forward... if said fighter is a good coutner puncher with power the fight ends in 5 rounds or less.....

Anyone hear of the results from last nights fights?

 

Pavlik stopped Espino in the 5th.

Valero won, Velasquez retiring after 6 rounds. Valero will defend his title on 23rd of February against mandatory Antonion DeMarco.

Matt Korobov won to go 9-0 (7), finishing it in the 3rd round.

if kelly pavlik knocks out a random no name in a empty arena.... does it actually count?

[DJ Rhude]

So, is the Mayweather/Pac fight definitely off? Saw on ESPN this morning that it was called off.....damn if that holds true

[JrRawlins]

not defintiely, but its not lookin good.....

[nflman2033]

lol, i had a feeling it would fall through, no way you can get mayweather and arum to work together.

Pac-Man vs Clottley....

Clottey will stand there and fight him but Pan-Man should win.....

i think Floyd will try to fight Cotto....

cotto vs floyd, no fight there

clottey vs pacquiao could be interesting

[JrRawlins]

clottey vs. Pac could be intersting but i dont think Clottey has the power to hurt Pac and he isnt really a stick and move type of guy.... so while he is a good defensive fighter.... he is gonna get hit alot....

[davie]

Pacquiao by stoppage/KO

[JrRawlins]

i dont think he will knock him out... Margarito didnt knock him out with loaded gloves.... i think Pac by UD....
