The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 2

[Docker2.0]

Iron Stark and I have actual conversations. It isn't some kind of pissing contest.

That's how it always starts.

 

[Iron_Stark]

You are making way to much sense!


Wait, you told me to ignore dude(and I have stopped responding to his nonsense)but now you have took my place. Gotcha! Now you will see how it feels to debate with someone who doesn't have a clue and is fueled with pure hatred for someone he has never met.

Doesn't have a clue? Really? Really?? this coming from the same guy that I have proven time and time again to be wrong!

Again, apart from my hatred for Floyd, what have I been proven to be wrong about? What have I said that people came back with facts to back it up with to prove me wrong with?

I thought we agreed Cotto was the real MW Champion?

Yeah he is, but since this proposed "Middleweight championship" will more likely be contested at a catchweight, I call it a paper championship.


Anyone read the article titled "Bizarre world of Floyd Mayweather, by his right hand woman" Google it, I'd link it but it has some NSFW pics on it.

Cliffnotes:

-extravagant shopping and spending money
-gambling problem
-pays strippers to hang around him
-beat his baby momma
-got scammed for $15 million
-payed his employees with Rolex watches (they'd go months without actual monetary payments)
-held a girlfriend hostage in her room for 2 days threatening to shave her head and have his body guards run a train on her
-very OCD

Apart from him being a scumbag outside the ring, he's going to be broke when soon after he retires

GET OFF YOU’RE ANTI-BOXING STANCE, MATE

On 12 October 1853 during a heavyweight championship bout between John C. Morrissey and Yankee Sullivan, Sullivan left the ring to throw a few punches at a group of Morrissey supporters who had been heckling him. He failed to get back into the ring in time to answer the bell for the next round. Morrissey was, therefore, awarded the decision.-Ron Price with thanks to AmericanHeritage.com, American Heritage Magazine, October 2003, Volume 54, Issue 5.

In October 1853 the second Nayriz upheaval occurred in Iran in which 600 female and 80 or more male Babis, a cause that claimed to be founded by the Promised Qa’im, indeed a new religion in Iran then in its ninth year, were taken prisoner. With them the heads of some 180 martyrs were marched to Shiraz. Bahá’u’lláh, the leading Babi, and His family had been exiled to Baghdad from Iran some ten months before.

This exile is now compared by Baha’is to the migration of Muhammad, the exodus of Moses and the banishment of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees to the Promised Land. Incalculable blessings flowed from Abraham’s banishment as they were destined to be vouchsafed to the whole human race.-Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, Baha’i Publishing Trust, Wilmette, 1957, p.107.

And you think boxing is a bloody sport!
It’s not even in the running with the sport
of religious and political fanaticism that
has been tearing our world apart for at
least the last two centuries if not the last
several millennia, mate. Give it a rest this
anti-boxing stance of yours; it's tiresome.

Boxing is some form of child’s play, say,
compared to the Mafia, Stalin, Hitler, Pol
Pot, just to name a few of the moderns
going back to, what? Where would you
like to start in the longue duree that is
the history of humankind on this planet?

Just get off your anti-boxing operatic stage
and all your *****-footing around in the
midst of wars and rumours of wars that
are threatening, at this great climacteric
of history, to bring an end of civilization!

[Fallen Angel]

Alvarado V Rios 3 tonight.

Their last two fight's have been wars and it's one win a piece.

 

[Docker2.0]

About to watch it now. For both their sakes, they need to retire. Rios is a walking punching bag and Alvarado just seems done.

 

[Docker2.0]

Rios actually looked good tonight and showed head movement. He dominated from the bell. Surprising ending to a trilogy.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Alvarado hasn't looked good in awhile. He has lost three in a row, is 34 years old and having a whole lot of weird stuff going on in his personal life. He is done. Rios is the same fighter he has always been.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Well that was poor. Alvarado may as well have not shown up.

 

[Assassin32]

A shame that Alvarado only showed up to collect his paycheck. On the bright side, Rios looks primed to contend in fight-of-the-year hopefuls with Bradley and/or Provodnikov.

 

[Docker2.0]

Have these guys ever been in the same building together.............ever? That just leads to more speculation that the fight will be indeed announced during the Super Bowl but who knows at this point.

[Fallen Angel]

Don't think they have but it's all publicity man. Pacman also met with Amir Khan last week in London for back up talk's if the Super fight don't come off.

Oh check this story out.


http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/378603-jermain-taylor-ordered-to-receive-mental-examination

IBF middleweight titleholder Jermain Taylor has been ordered to undergo a mental evaluation, according to The Arkansas Democrat.

Taylor, 36, was arrested in August for shooting his cousin and again earlier this month for pointing a gun at a man’s head and threatening to shoot three small children at a Martin Luther King Jr. day parade in Little Rock

 

[Docker2.0]

Yeah Taylor is crazy. He's going downhill fast!

As far as Mayweather and Paq, I believe this is all about promotions. No way does Paq fight Khan EVER. He's not a Top Rank guy so it's not going to happen.

 

[Docker2.0]

Anyone think they just "happen" to be at the same game at the same time............eh.

Floyd gave Manny his new number and told him let's get the fight done.

[Fallen Angel]

What are the chances all this is for show and nothing will come of it?

 

[Docker2.0]

You are soooooooooooooooo negative.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Something is seriously wrong with Jermain Taylor. I remember him being a pretty level headed kind of guy but as of late, man has he gone off the deep end. It could be a lot of things, but I fear it could be potential brain damage from his years of fighting. He has taken some vicious beatings.

 

[Iron_Stark]

99.999999999999999%

Cotto/Floyd is going to happen
Pac/Khan is going to happen

Anyone that thinks Floyd/Khan is going to happen is fooling themselves.


Ofcourse I could be wrong and this fight was done a long time ago.

He certainly wouldn't be the first. You have to be wired a certain way to be a professional boxer as it is. It doesn't take much for these guys to go off the deep end, which is why I wish they had something in place to help them after the fans stop cheering...

 

[Fallen Angel]

There should be a retired boxers union for all those that fall on hard times. There's more boxers who are penniless for various reason's then there are millionaires.

 

[Slushy]

TMZ is reporting both parties have signed the contract and the long awaited Mayweather / Pacquiao will finally happen on May 2nd!!!

 

[Fallen Angel]

TMZ is a boxing news site now?

Scratch that they're a legit news site now?

 

[Iron_Stark]

Lol, everyone else is denying it.

But maybe they know something we don't.

 

[Docker2.0]

TMZ tends to be more reliable than people realize. Again, I've been saying for months that this deal has been finished for months now and the big plan was for it to be announced during Super Bowl weekend. Amazing how things just lined up perfectly at the perfect time.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Super bowl announcement huh.. lol
