weird how the corner was standing there waving the towel while the ref didn't see it, for a big bunch of seconds. If you want to stop the fight, throw ALL the towels if you have to, but at least step to your right a few more feet so there's no way the ref doesn't see you. I mean what's the worst that happens, your fighter gets disqualified because you left the corner and interfered? If you want the fight stopped, make them stop the fight for christ's sake.
Yeah that was weird as shit. He just stood there waving the towel like an idiot, lol.Quote:

£14.95 and 6 buds it cost me, but I got mates who paid £400 for shit seats for that.
Fuck you Brook, and your lithhhp.
Guy probably has a broken orbital and went the last few rounds not being able to see right, but yeah, he owed you something more.Quote:

He seemed at about 40% of his regular self and still knocked him out in 4. He is so good that people thought Brooks had a good outing for winning 2 rounds and getting knocked out in 4.
There are only 2 fighters that I must watch. GGG and Chocolatito. They put on a show every time, even if not at 100% and they do not duck anyone. I look forward to GGG getting the final middle weight belt, then knocking out my hometown hero Canelo.
Guess they knew what they were doing.
Broken eye socket. Scheduled for surgery.
Crolla Linares tonight. Looks like it could be a close fight.
I don't know much about these fighters but have put a quid on Crolla rd 4 at 33/1 for the interest.
Mike Towell dropped dead after his fight just now.
Looks like Aaron Pryor has died:

Kovalev (+115) vs Ward (-145) is this weekend; it's a fight that no one really is talking about but they should be as both are undefeated. Would love JMM's thoughts on this epic bout.
"Fight goes the distance" is at -170. Do we think that neither gets KO'd here? I think so but Kovalev has got an incredible liver shot however Ward is a great defensive fighter and I think it goes to decision and Ward by decision at +105 is also a play.

Thanks for posting this. Other than GGG vs Canelo or Cotto, this is the best available fight out there to make. I've got Ward going the distance. It should be an excellent fight
I like Ward, but I think people may be sleeping on Kovalev's ability to box. He's not just some slow robot that comes in straight lines and doesn't move his head. Dude out boxed Hopkins. And even though it was old as piss Hopkins, it was still impressive. Hopkins footwork/defense is ATG shit, and it didn't seem to bother Kovalev at all. He's also got some seriously underrated hand speed. Ward could possibly get on the inside and smother Kovalev and rough him up, but I'm not 100% sure that he's going to be the stronger man in there this time. He's used to being the stronger guy, I'm just not sure here.
I think Ward is deservedly the favorite, but I have a little on Kovalev by decision because at +610 it's too good to pass up.
I think this is THE fight right now. GGG vs Canelo needs to happen next, for sure. But last I heard Canelo's team is talking with Cotto about a rematch.Quote:

The decision is trash because the boxing world knows we have to see this rematch lol
I paid rent tonight. And watched a great fight
I've watched it twice now. Scored it for Kovalev both times. I can't find a realistic way to give the fight to Ward. He definitely came on strong in the second half of the fight, but no way did he sweep every round past round 6. Out of three judges, Kovalev was only given ONE round, past round 6. 18 opportunities, and he got 1. You could make a legitimate case that Kovalev won any of rounds 9, 10 or 12.
Good fight, but I think they got it wrong.

He's more fluid with his movements and gets away from punches better.... I preferred Kovalev last night though. I would watch these 2 again
I think most people tend to lean toward giving the aggressive fighter more rounds. I'm kind of the opposite. I tend to favor the Ward/Mayweather/Hopkins style.Quote:

The thing is, as much as I believe Kovalev won that fight last night, I'd almost certainly bet Ward in the rematch. It did seem like he was figuring things out over the course of those last few rounds. The first half of the fight, it looked like Kovalev was going to run him over. If there's a rematch, I think Kovalev has to either get him out early, or he loses a clear decision.
Last night, though, I really think Kovalev won it. I think you gotta give Ward every single close round to make a case for him. I wouldn't call it "robbery" because like you said, Wards ring generalship was there. And it's not like he wasn't competitive.
Not the biggest fan of Kellerman, but I thought he summed up the decision nicely here (starts @ 7:37):

Lomachenko is fighting tonight. 2 time Olympic gold medalist... he's a lot of fun to watch.

I call people like Floyd Mayweather fucking ignorant selfish douchebags.Quote:
Gotta love these backseat drivers so worried about another man's legacy instead of trying to write their own. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh. This is just one of my many checks, a cool $100,000,000.00 that I still have every dime of. Y'all still have to work however, I'm happily retired. At the end of the day, it's them Benjamin Franklins that matter to me, so the jokes on you. I've made smart investments, sorry for those who thought that I couldn't read, write, or count. Y'all call them watches, I call them time pieces. Y'all call them boats, I call them yachts. Y'all call them houses, I call them mansions. Y'all charter jets and we own jets. #TMT
Floyd Mayweather's legacy is shit.
Andre Agassi made less money than Floyd did but helped out far more black people.
Agassi raised over $100 million for his foundation which helped young black kids.
Who did Mayweather help besides himself? Nobody.
That's not true at all. He's given a lot of money to charity, schools, Habitat for Humanity, food banks, etc. There are a TON of athletes making huge money that help out a lot less than Mayweather does. People are just mad because he flaunts his wealth and acts like an asshole. He's too concerned with everyone knowing he's rich, sure. But it's his fucking money, he can do whatever he wants with it.Quote:

There are plenty of reasons to hate Mayweather. No reason to make up new ones.
real talk as someone speaking for all mayweather fans born in the 80s weve already kind of forgotten about him and without liev schriebers 24 7 gravitas and his youtube video with ben baller literally not sure what else ill remember
like maybe only having to lay 2 to 1 on the pacquio fight for free money and the hatton knockout but thats kind of it
Some good fights tonight.
Expect Joshua to KO this bum tomato can they've lined up in rd 1
Chisora Whyte is more interesting coz of the beef but could be a typical HW snoozefest
There's a lot of hate for Joshua among some boxing fans. I think it may go all the way back to the Olympics when people felt like he was given a gift decision.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I believe he'll beat Klitschko and I'd make him the favorite to beat Wilder, too.
I'm going to disagree and take Klitschko. I am not a huge fan of Joshua and he WAS gifted that decision. We were due though, what they did to Roy Jones Jr was crazy. I think it will be a boring fight and Klitschko jabs the kid for 12 rounds, just like he did to everyone but Fury. It only takes 1 right and Klitschko almost never opens up to be hit.Quote:

Hopkins was actually ahead on one scorecard (lol wtf) and only down one round on another but realistic judge had him down 69-64 at stoppage.
Bernard got rocked and his age REALLY showed from the opening bell to the end. What is crazy is with two of those terrible score cards if Hopkins was able to do what he has in the past slowing the fight down in the later rounds stealing them then he actually had a chance but to everyone watching being unbiased their is no way this fight was close.
you gotta give props to anyone who can be a professional boxer at 51, but what a shitty way to go out
bernard got knocked out of the fucking ring but he's saying he got pushed and that he somehow hurt his right (or is it his left?) ankle falling back straight on his head???
he's going to have such shitty quality of life as he gets older after 3+ decades of his brain getting rattled, was it worth it?
He's probably going to end up better off than most fighters, he like floyd is a great defensive boxer. That's why Floyd has lasted as long as he has and same with BHop. But that KO was pretty hard to watch lol.Quote:
