Boxing Thread

I think Khan takes it to points, as he's focused more on defensive boxing since losing to Garcia. All Saul needs to do is win and he faces GGG in a super fight (which I might go see). Khan has emphasized speed for this match, and I think he will try to stick and move and stay away from Saul's power.

Alvarez will clinch, land bigger shots but I think like last fight, he could get conservative down the stretch (and he loses cardio b/c he throws so hard; I think that will be a prob vs GGG) and glide to a decision.

A side note, Tapia vs Lemieux is a motherfucker of a fight for an undercard.

His logic was sound. Canelo should win big, and it wont be worth his time watching, and if Canelo should lose, he will never watch one of his fights again.

fu Gallo, Khan deserves a bit more credit/respect than that.

I know the 'natural' weight puts him it at a big disadvantage. But Khan is a slick motherfucker and should not be dismissed.


Shizz gets this.

Khan should not be in the ring with Canelo. It's a silly fight. I hope I'm wrong and I learn my lesson, but Khan has NO chin and hates getting hit. He is about to get hit by a guy that walks around at 190 where as Khan is having to put on weight to get into the ring at 155.

The only mega fight I care to see is Canelo vs GGG or GGG vs Cotto.

Looks to me like it should be a canelo knockout. I bet canelo back in february when it was -325. I agree that it probably isn't worth paying for, but I'll watch it for free on my computer

shiiit, canelo is down to -400 on bovada. had been up at -550 earlier in the week. just threw some more money on him. betting that hell wont freeze over tonight

The guy never had a chance

bring on GGG vs Canelo

RIP Aamir Khan

ffs it's like Ricky Hatton all over again.


Anthony Joshua & Callum Smith will regain our pride.


Khan you chinless twat.

God Damn Me! I thought fight was 12 Est and missed getting my bet in and the fight. Under 9.5 looked good (easier to say now obv, FML)

If you look at Khans rib cage on the left side of his body as he lays there knocked out, you'll see why his guard was not all that high and that right hand came through

Khan made us sweat a little at least. I was worried until Canelo caught him. I thought Khan fought really well until the knockout, apparently 2 of the 3 judges had Canelo winning after 5 though.

To that point Canelo had landed more punches. Almost double the amount of power punches. A lot of the punches from Khan were missing and he was fighting going backwards the entire time. I had Canelo up a round

missed it, luckily.. twitter!

Floyd Mayweather now ready to fight Amir Khan for a 9 figure payday.

Mayweather should just stick his finger up his own ass instead.

Just got to see the whole fight. All I can say is

Gotta admire Khan's guts. Not many guys will jump up from welterweight and fight a guy that steps into the ring at 170+. $13 million obviously doesn't hurt, though.

It's time for Triple G and Canelo to get a deal done. Canelo is dead set to fight at his newly made up weight of 155 (which he calls 154 "with an extra pound") while carrying the 160 pound title. It sucks, but I have a feeling this fight won't happen, because they won't settle on a weight, and Canelo will just end up dropping the title.

Canelo just bitched out, Hard! Wow.

He is making Mexican fighters look bad

Had a feeling this shit might happen.

Now we'll get the "we're just unable to agree on a deal at this time" excuses, and they'll announce something like Cotto/Canelo 2 or Canelo/Bradley.

It's just sad that as an audience we don't get to watch the best possible fights. I think a factor might be age. Canelo is only 25 and GGG is 34. Unlike Mayweather, GGG gets in there and takes punches, so I doubt he will be fighting at that high of a level at 39 the way Mayweather has. I hope we don't get another Mayweather vs Pacquiao scenario and have to wait 6 years for the fight to happen once GGG is no longer in his prime.

It's ruining the sport. And it doesn't look like it's going to get any better, anytime soon. Rather than trying to eliminate some of these god awful sanctioning bodies and alphabet titles, they're creating NEW titles (Diamond champions, what the fuck?) to give to their superstars. It gives the big stars, like Canelo, massive egos. Then they start thinking that it's OK to defend 160 lb titles at 155 against Jr. Welterweights, because "A side" this and "B side" that.

There's no more "dare to be great" scenarios in boxing. It's all a big cash grab.

Jesus, Cruz vs Frampton was an amazing fight. Can't wait to watch that one again. If you like boxing, this is the kind of fight you love. Two undefeated fighters who are large volume punchers but excellent boxers at the same time. Cruz threw 1000 punches:

Roger Mayweather reported missing. How's his health otherwise, does anyone know? Is his head mush? He wasn't gone for too long before the missing persons report, and they describe him as an endangered adult.

http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/32581...ger-mayweather
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Missing Persons Detail has issued an alert for Roger Mayweather.
Metro is asking for the public's assistance in locating the former professional boxer, as he is considered a missing endangered adult.
Roger Mayweather, uncle of champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, was last seen in the area of Spring Mountain Road and Valley View Boulevard at about 3 p.m. Saturday according to police.

Big fight tomorrow Kell Brook v GGG

Initially I was giving Brook close to 0% chance here like most people but as the fight draws closer and GGG looked very drained, gaunt, and a bit unwell at the weigh-in I'm starting to think Brook has a legit chance here.

Still think GGG will do him inside three rounds with a brutal rib breaking ko but stranger things have happened.

Ya watched the weigh-in also.

G looked like he'd ate some bad meat or something.

Hopefully works as a leveller. Doubt it tho.

Brook by way of decision... Also I would Bet money this goes 12. They don't call Brook special K for nothing. Superb Boxer.

Oh and if Brook pulls it off guaranteed everybody will blame the judges and blame the crowd chearing and bad refereeing and all that shit because their so but hurt they got it wrong.

GGG at 40% knocks this guy out in under 6 rounds

2.5 to 1 for $50?

hmm thats actually a pretty fair bet... i think were running out of time here though... if i can send druff a etransfer in time im down for 50. id take brook at to 2.5 to 1 on my 50. But im thinking its too late,,, i never even escrowed with druff and i dont have his phone number lol. Friendly bet,,, lets not and say we did lol. See what happenes.

Anyway guys If Brook can start to gain any sort of forward momentum at some point in the fight (which i believe he will) watch out for that crowd. Shit is gonna get real crazy real fast. Go watch Froch Kessler 1 if you want to see what im talking about a bit. #specialk

Unless if there is fast and safe way to do it, im still down.

GGG starting rt now.

extra strange considering this:

I was over on Boxingscene.com telling everyone I thought Brook could win a decision if he could handle the power. I was half way trolling. But he's seeing GGG's shots coming. That power should catch up to him at some point, though.

Brook's winning the fight. It'll be interesting to see if he makes it into the later rounds, how the extra weight coupled with all his movement affects his stamina.

What in the fucking hell
