The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 2

[Doc Samson]

I don't know what was worse Foxx's or R Kelly's rendition? At least Foxx didn't have girls shaking their asses to the National Anthem like R Kelly did.


And why do they have to sing it like it's a love song or some R&B song? smdh, no other countries national anthem gets some silly spin to it, just sing the damn song like it was written. Quit butchering it.

Quit *****ing. Marvin Gaye put his "spin" on it and it became one of the most beloved renditions of all time. So since then, everyone (or not everyone, just black artists mostly, and I know how you feel about that) try to put a personal stamp on it too. Deal with it.

 

[Iceman]

So Tyson apparently not a huge fan of the fight. Thought he'd know it wasn't going to be a brawl.

 

[Doc Samson]

I'm really getting tired of people complaining, almost anyone who's a fan of either of these two should know that it would have to be Pacquiao that pushes the envelope. He didn't do that because he couldn't do that, simple.

Floyd did what he was supposed to do, what I knew he was going to do, what I've been saying he would do for the past 6 years. Why the world is shocked is beyond me...

 

[Docker2.0]

Tyson sounds so bitter towards Floyd that it's not even funny. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with what he said about Ali either. Tyson is the last person that should be talking about Floyd's moral character because they've both have done time and have domestic abuse problems.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Tyson was convicted of rape. Now he still denies it, but still. Tyson just seems frustrated. He is probably a bit jealous of Floyd. The man has tons of money, seems to understand how to keep it, and has figured out a way to have 48 fights and remain unscathed physically.

 

[Harley2004]

So Manny is out 9 to 12 months with that injury. Which is a severe shoulder injury. Why the hell would he get in the ring like that?

I would buy that EXCUSE but before this fight, both Roach and Manny talked nonstop about knocking Floyd out. NOW that they got their arse whooped, here come the excuses. Just take the losses like a man. It's becoming embarrassing.

I'm actually a little disappointed in Pacquiao. The fight was barely over & immediately this story about his shoulder started to unravel quite quickly & now he's been pictured with his shoulder in a sling.

I mean with all due respect, if your shoulder was that badly hurt, you should have never fought in the first place. If it is as severe as Roach & Pacquiao are making it sound, they basically robbed every single person that bought a ticket or PPV because they essentially sent Pacquiao into the ring with 1 & 1/2 arms against one of the greatest boxers to ever walk the earth.

I just thought in general Pacquiao would have taken defeat better & said that Mayweather was the better fighter on the night, this excuses stuff regarding his shoulder is the type of thing I expected to hear from Mayweather had Pacquiao beaten him.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Pacman as this humble guy is complete BS.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Yeah I have to deal with them constantly butchering the national anthem.

You really think Foxx sang it well? You really think it wasn't insulting when R Kelly has girls dancing and shaking their asses while he was singing butchering the song?

gtfo, most of the time when someone tries to put their own spin to it, it comes off like ass. Like I said, this isn't a love song, this isn't a gospel song and it sure as hell isn't an R&B song. What's next, some one coming out and making it into a Rap song?


-------------------------------------

Pac has always been the king of excuses, bad socks (JMM fight), gloves (Morales 1 fight) and there are others.

He and his team are idiots, they knew he was injured and still checked a "NO" on the medical questionnaire asking if he had a prior injury. And Pac signed the damn thing.

Pac got beat fair and square (very boringly) and there should be NO excuses coming from his end.


Anyway, I am DONE talking about this overhyped over priced glorified sparring session. The real guys that go into the ring and fight and entertain are coming up in the following weeks, now those are the guys that make "fight of the year" fights.

Omar Figueroa vs. Ricky Burns
Canelo vs. James Kirkland with "Pitbull" Gomez vs Humberto Soto on the undercard
GGG and the big US debut of Chocolatito Gonzalez on the undercard
James DeGale vs. Andre Dirrell
Amir Khan vs. Chris Algieri
Miguel Cotto vs. Daniel Geale
Felix Verdejo vs. Ivan Najera
Timothy Bradley vs. Jesse Vargas

All of these in the next two months. No PPV

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I don't remember R Kelly, but Foxx murdered it on Sat. It was bad.

 

[Docker2.0]

Manny fans just won't let it go.

Only reason I can give: people are whiny, petty babies when they're upset.

 

[Iron_Stark]

The real Cinco de Mayo fight is tomorrow

Weigh-ins just happened

Kirkland 154.5 lbs
Canelo 154.5 lbs

One round of this is guaranteed to be more exciting than the enire 12 round borefest we had last week.

 

[Doc Samson]

Let me guess, you want Kirkland to lose, right?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Kirkland has been out of action for a while. I fancy Canelo to do this inside 10 rounds.

 

[Docker2.0]

Of course he does!

Not only that but he doesn't have Ann Wolfe. Dude is an idiot! He's at his best when he's with her. Undefeated with her, 0-1 without her.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Considering the video I saw of Anne Wolfe yesterday, no wonder he wants nothing to do with her.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Let me guess, you want Kirkland to win.

In fact who's your favorite Mexican fighter? I have NEVER seen any black people ever root for a Mexican fighter. Especially when going against a black fighter.

So before you start accusing people of being biased, take a look in the mirror.

Same goes for your sister Docker2.0

That video was horrible, I don't see how people even want to train with her

Well she is crazy. But if it ain't broke..........

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Well she is crazy. But if it ain't broke..........

The problem is she probably has done some actual damage to him. How can any of those guys necks and spines be in good shape? That is the kind of stuff that breaks your body down.

For what it is worth, my favorite Mexican fighter of all time is Marquez, followed closely by Morales. Right now, Canelo is winning me over. His performance against Lara was quite impressive imo. Was not expecting that.

I thought Kirkland was an idiot for leaving her again. Then I saw the video. He couldn't have made a better decision.

It's not an accusation, you are bias. This whole time I've seen you in here you've never given any black fighter respect.

On the contrary, I just don't love one race, I respect those who deserve it. I've given Oscar his respect just a few pages ago for facing all the big names of his generation, the biggest name of the previous generation, and the biggest two of this generation. I love Cotto, I respect Marquez, I respected Sergio, the list goes on. And it's verifiable in this forum.

 

[Docker2.0]

Agreed! Dude seems to be against ANYONE who isn't black and is always the one to say other people are racist. And since he asked, my favorite non black fighters are Sergio Martinez(who's quite possibly my favorite fighter)Canelo(I think he's overrated but dude fights anyone, despite his corner telling him not to)and there's a small part of me that roots for JCC Jr and I couldn't tell you why.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Canelo and Kirkland just went Hagler/Hearns. What a knock out by Canelo.
