Those fights were so damn good! Chocolatito was a precision killer! GGG I thought was playing more possum to show he could go further rounds. He could of shut it down in the second.

Also, as far as torn rotator cuffs, it is actually pretty common, and a lot of the time it is not even symptomatic. I bet if all of us had a MRI on both shoulders today >20% of us would have torn rotator cuffs, especially those of us that are/were active playing sports. I agree that this is probably something PacMan has had a long time, and the timing of needing surgery is very suspicious, although he probably did aggravate it at some point in the training, which was why he was taking anti-inflammatories and painkillers.
Mayweather stripped of title he won in Pacquiao fight
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been stripped of the welterweight world title he won after beating Filipino Manny Pacquiao this year for failing to comply with rules, the World Boxing Organization said on Monday.
Mayweather, who improved to 48-0 by beating Pacquiao in May, missed a deadline by which he had to pay a $200,000 sanctioning fee from the fight and vacate the junior middleweight title he also held, the WBO said in a statement.
The WBO said it is against rules for boxers to hold world titles in multiple weight classes and that Mayweather had to indicate which weight division he would retain.
Mayweather, who finished ahead on all three scorecards of what proved to be the top-grossing prize fight of all-time, had until 4:30 p.m. ET last Friday to advise the WBO of his position.
"The WBO World Championship Committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as the WBO Welterweight Champion of the World and vacate his title, for failing to comply with our WBO Regulations of World Championship Contests," the WBO said in a statement.
Mayweather, who earned over $200 million from the fight which generated a record pay-per-view revenue in the United States of $400 million, has two weeks to launch an appeal.

He claims he was going to drop it anyway.
Mayweather's ego did this one. They gave him a clear deadline. He shrugged it off because he thinks he's above the rules. They stripped him of the belt, and now Ellerbe is bitching about it, like they didn't have the right to do it.
200k sanctioning fee. Goddamn.
Mayweather's final fight in September? Don't believe it
http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns...ont-believe-it
The public have no idea who Andre Berto is and he'll make a poor showing against Mayweather.It is being reported across the boxing world that Mayweather has chosen Berto as his next opponent and will meet him Sept. 12 at the MGM Grand Garden, that the fight will be offered free on CBS as a goodwill gesture to fans for the colossal disappointment that was Mayweather against Manny Pacquiao in May.
It was a good decision about making the fight free on CBS instead of Pay-Per-View.
Pay-Per-View is now dead, thanks to Mayweather, he killed it, no one wants to pay to watch boxing anymore.
Of course it won't be Mayweather's last opponent, I bet he fights one last fight again next year.
Who will Floyd fight then? Is Ronda Rousey available?
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr looked like a bum... He had that guy outweighed by at least 15 pounds and couldn't look good... He jabbed for literally one round. I hope he fights GGG and gets knocked the fuck out.

I want to see Mayweather v McGregor. I can't think of a scenario where Conor doesn't KO Mayweather. Seriously!
To bad the Baldfather has Conor by the balls and Mayweather's a pussy.
I wish Rousey would shut her face tbh. Her n Mayweather bla bla bla never clicking it. She needs to stfu and make me a sandwich.
There's no scenario where Conor wouldn't beat the shit out of Mayweather in a cage. In a boxing ring, Mayweather would beat McGregor senseless.Originally Posted by FPS_Russia
Rousey is just using Mayweather's name to help her own. Funny she has nothing to say about War Machine, Tito Ortiz, etc. She was also pal'ing around with Mike Tyson earlier in the week. She's also bitter because Mayweather said "Never heard of him" when asked about Rousey.
I don't give a shit who he fights next, if it's free on CBS. They know no one is paying to watch him fight Berto, though.
I still think it's going to be Amir Khan.
That fight was originally made at 168 lbs. When they realized Chavez wasn't going to make the weight, they raised it to 169. Then they raised it to 170. Then he STILL missed weight.
I see you, Serial Fail. Come talk to me about it if you disagree. This is a discussion forum, not a "hide behind red rep like a pussy" forum. You know I'll smack you around like I used to on China's forum when you pm'd me begging me to stop being mean to you.

His left hand looked like it was broken in the post fight interview.
That said I agree, he looked very average at best. GGG would destroy him. It would most likely be embarrassing.“I feel good. I feel strong, but I hurt my left [hand],” said Chavez, who did not specify when in the fight he thought he injured it. “I think it’s broken. I don’t know. I’ll see the doctor. This guy is a good boxer.
“With all respect to Reyes, I think if I didn’t hurt my hand, I would have knocked him out,” Chavez Jr. said. “I connected with the best punches to the chin and to the body. I hurt him, but I couldn’t finish him because I hurt my hand. If he wants a rematch, whatever. He never hurt me.”

SF, we both know that DID happen. You pm'd me crying that it "wasn't good for the users to see two mods arguing" and that I should just agree to prevent animosity.
It's just the internet, kiddo, don't be so scared.
I just don't know about JCC Jr, man. He appears to have talent, but seems content making a name off his old man. GGG would send him to retirement.
Anyway, Klitschko and Fury finally got the fight signed. Should be decent for a while. Wladimir typically beats the hell out of tall heavy's though.
Muhammad Ali knocks-out Sonny Liston, 2 minutes and 8 seconds into their World Heavyweight Title rematch in Maine. 1965
World class technique on display by Rousey.
LOL, she couldn't even beat the best women's boxer.
She's no boxer, but an arm bar is an arm bar, and in a MMA fight I don't see a non MMA trained fighter knowing how to handle those submissions.... I'm a big guy and have been submitted by people 1/2 my size... my joints ain't any heavier or stronger.

Oh, I agree. I did some catch wrestling. I was taken down by guys much smaller than me. I was talking about the people saying she'd knock him out. Of course she'd beat him in an MMA fight, if she took him down.She's no boxer, but an arm bar is an arm bar, and in a MMA fight I don't see a non MMA trained fighter knowing how to handle those submissions....

Agreed, she would be knocked out in under a minute if it were a boxing match... but in a straight up fight, I think most boxers under 170 pounds are getting their arms broken.Oh, I agree.
