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

[nflman2033]

talked about the Tyson thing on Friday Night Fights, Don King said that the fight vs Holyfield is a rumor, but he wouldn't comment on Tyson getting back in the ring.

yeah that Guerrero guy took a real pounding some of the best clean hard shots by a guy known for punching power and he wouldn't go down.

Devon Alexander cleaned Juan Urango's clock, not suprised there, but what a knockdown that first one was, I hope we get to see Alexander fight Bradley should be fantastic, good to see that 140 is still great even without Hatton

[JrRawlins]

140 pounds has some great fighters in that class or potentially great, with Khan, Bradley, Alexander, Maidanaadn possibly Ortiz if he gets back to what he could have become..... Alexander's timing on the first knockdown was ridculous....

Vic was landing bombs against Guerrero, i started to cringe down the stretch of the fight, like dude just go down.....

i will be buying the Pac-Clottey fight.... I think Clottey can do it..... he has excellent defense and is strong enough to really put a pounding on Pac-Man....

its too bad Eddie Chambers vs Klitchs wont be on TV..... it could actually be a decent fight, Chambers is active, and wont just stand there and eat Klitsch jabs the whole fight...

[nflman2033]

yeah i am pissed Wlad isn't going to be on TV, Chambers isn't a bum, hope someone like ESPN or something picks it up, but i doubt it

[BigBucs]

Anyone who thinks Clottey doesnt have a chance simply doesnt know the sport. Stylistically it isnt the best match up for Clottey but he definitely wont lose because he is just a bum like some are trying to make him out to be. I want to see what his fight night weight will be. He came in at 170 the night of the Corrales fight

yeah i am pissed Wlad isn't going to be on TV, Chambers isn't a bum, hope someone like ESPN or something picks it up, but i doubt it

Wow I knew that shit would be on HBO for sure. Finally get a HW fight I want to see and it wont be televised. Ill find a download but it isnt the same after hearing the results. Anyone posting results use spoiler tags.

[SHOGUN]

Tyson is coming back to boxing, possibly to fight Holyfield again.

I'd rather see him fight Bob Sapp. I'm still pissed that fight never came to fruition. The hype was ridiculous.

Okay so i just saw the HBO preview show for the Manny pacquiao - Clottey. And they bring up the whole Olympic style testing issue. And Freddy says that Mayweather is accusing Manny of steroids/hgh (whatever) because he went from the mid 100's to the upper 140s lower 150s (or vice versa) and still had a lot of power. And Freddy Roach replies the same can be said about mayweather making a similar transition in weight.

The argument doesn't make sense to me because mayweather proposed the Olympic style drug testing. Unless there is some bits of information im missing.

not to mention, Mayweather's power hasnt even remotely translated to the higher weight classes like Manny's has...

Never got a chance to post this since the forum was down that week. Me talking shit to Floyd at the DC Presser. I got kicked out lol.

yeah that was my first WTF moment when i hear that

[BigBucs]

He said "Oh I see why you a hater, I must have fucked your girl" or something to that effect. As you can see it wowed the groupies.

[JrRawlins]

Great fight it sucks it ended on a cheap shot... but he really clocked Dirrell while he was down..... not sure if Dirrell reaction was fake or not, but it really didnt matter, when he got up he seemed upset, like he got knocked out.... I think he honestly thought he lost the fight.... he was damn near in tears in the interview...

Anyone pay attention to this thread anymore?

Anybody see the Juanma Lopez fight?

I seen it. He better hope Rafa is shot. While I like him and love watching him fight he always looks venerable. He was getting caught with some serious leather for those 2 rounds and got put on his ass and was in serious trouble, luckily the round was over when he got up. If Rafa still has some fight in him he can upset the young boy but I wouldnt bet on it even though he split Vasquez open and made quick work of him.

All I know is if Arum even mans up and lets Juanma and Gamboa go at it Im betting on a Gamboa K.O. Juanma is to chinny, to mechanical and can be touched. Gamboa would be to fast and hits to hard for him even though Juanma has some heavy hands.

[nflman2033]

yeah I saw, Marquez being the smaller guy and having a lack of defensive skills plus age could be bad, however Lopez's has questionable defense as well, should be an exciting fight
