Mayweather is a bitch :amirite
Not a ton coming up this weekend. The next few weeks will produce some decent fights, though.
Next weekend is Brook/Matt Hatton. The most interesting thing about this one, is whether or not Brook can stop him.
Also Sergio Martinez back at it next weekend, against Matthew Macklin. Odds are pretty wide. +775 for Macklin. He can make a fight of it, but Martinez should win. Over 9.5 rounds is intriguing at -115. Then again, every time I say Martinez is going the distance, he knocks someone out.
The more MMA I see the dumber boxing seems. MMA is a true fighting sport where motherfuckers are trying to murder each other. I've never seen a referee interrupt a bout unless somebody tapped. Whereas in boxing the ref steps in every 5 seconds cuz theres so many dumb rules and the boxers love to hug it out.
Boxing is a joke. Pac and Floyd wont even fight each other for 50 million.
I'd call in to that show as long as it was about the Heavyweight division in the mid 90s or the Middleweight division in the mid 80s.
I really don't have a fucking care or clue about today's fighters. Mayweather has basically ruined the sport with his stupid demands. And who is a decent Heavyweight right now in the USA?
I feel your pain, man. I can do some 80's, and a lot of 90's, but I don't go much further. Despite what a lot of people think, I'm not really a "historian". I guarantee you there are probably 4 people on this site alone that know more about the "old" fighters than I do.
There's a lot out there other than Mayweather. They're all just overshadowed by him. And there are no real American HW's right now.
/hijack.
Outside of three or four fighters in the Middleweights, what is out there?
It is really sad to see the Heavyweight Division collapse after some really great years in the 90s. If I had a few million I'd be scouring inner city gyms, because this country needs a Heavyweight Champion fighting in Las Vegas/pay per view every few months. Druff?
