The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 1

Who and what did he do?

He's a freakin loser. Anyone watching him fight on HBO now? Talk about bias commentating. Vera clearly won the first two rounds but they gave them both to Chavez. Anyone who says HBO isn't bias is smoking some shhh!

 

[Docker2.0]

Bs judging. People are killing that judge for the Mayweather fight, how about the three judges for the JCC Jr. fight?

 

[Iron_Stark]

Last nights decision was bs. No wonder people are so critical of boxing, Pac/Bradley, Mayeather/Canelo and the one judge, and now this. But the Bradley decision was still the worst out of these recent ones.

 

[Docker2.0]

No, last night was pretty f-ed up. Chavez didn't win not one round in my eyes. Again, Paq/Bradley is debatable because Bradley did win some rounds but last night was so one sided that it was a joke. Arum had his hands all on this one.

 

[Doc Samson]

I will say this, it all comes down to that age old question when watching fights: Is it the amount of punches landed, or the impact & power of those punches?

No doubt JCC (as usual) came in completely out of shape and allowed himself to be outworked through long stretches of most rounds. But when he hit Vera, more often than not, it had more of an impact. Vera walked through a good amount of those punches but he was also staggered quite a bit too. Clearly, JCC did NOT deserve the win, but at worst, I believe it could've been a draw. But let's just say I won't be surprised if JCC winds up in the ring with Canelo sometime in the near future ...

Bob Sheridan is easily my favorite boxing commentator.

Anyone watch the bs boring ads Klit's fight? He held and threw the guy down but the ref didn't warn him not once. He held EVERY FIVE SECONDS, NO JOKE!!

 

[the last son]

Just watched the first two Jones Jr. and Tarver fights. Will watch the third sometime soon. What happened in that second fight. I guess that's the punch Tarver was sitting on the whole first fight and just never caught him.

Getting ready to start the first fight of Marquez vs Manny.

I still feel that coming back down from Heavyweight accelerated the deterioration of Roy's skills, namely his speed. The biggest difference between RJ and someone like Floyd is technical skill. Yeah, Floyd's quick, but a lot of that has to do with mastery of his fundamentals and defensive anticipation.

Jones just had flat out, twitchy, speed. And he relied on that for everything (he might be the fastest human I've ever seen fight during his peak) Tarver just happened to catch him at the right point of his career. Had it been a year or two earlier, I doubt it would've been competitive...

I saw the fight on Saturday, if I was the ref in that fight I would of DQ Klithcko by the 6 round.

Agreed. Dude's gameplan was to literally throw a punch and hold. Every. Single. Time.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

..and pushing his opponents head down to wear him down. That move is soo illegal in boxing. That ref Papon is crap, its not the first time there was complains about his reffing.

In his defense but wasn't the fight in Russia? Good luck calling a dq in the champ's home town/country, even if it was the right call.

I'm trying to watch as many fights as I can. I can tell you a fighter I'm really enjoying is Bernard Hopkins. The man has skills. He took it to Trinidad.

 

[the last son]

Thoughts on Calzaghe? I've seen two of his fights so far. The man can fight.

 

[antonydelfini]

Kudos to Bradley. He outfought and outsmarted Marquez. I had it 8-4 for Bradley.

And Marquez is screaming robbery again.

I must admit that Pacquiao won (99 percent of the boxing world agrees) against Bradley, but Marquez definitely lost against him.

 

[Docker2.0]

Eh, I will catch it on tv next weekend. There's no way I'm paying $50 to see that.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

It was tough watching my boy lose on Sat, it's time for Marquez to hang up the gloves. His place in the HOF is all locked up.

BTW I had it 115-113 for Bradley.

 

[Doc Samson]

Bradley is just a tough guy to fight. He's not particularly great at anything, but he can do a bit of brawling and boxing. It doesn't help that most of his bouts turn into ugly, (hard to watch and probably harder to fight in) marathons of attrition. This fight was one of his more technically sound, he had a gameplan and stayed with it fairly well, making Marquez come to him and staying behind his jab.

 

[the last son]

Ali vs Tyson who wins? I say Ali in round 6-8.

 

[Docker2.0]

Hard to say. In his prime, Tyson was a beast.......literally.

 

[the last son]

Naw. I say Ali wins easily. I don't know if Tyson could beat Foreman.

 

[the last son]

I've also wondered who hit harder between Foreman an Tyson. I might have to go Foreman.
