The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 3

[Docker2.0]

Boxing is so corrupt! Watching the Donaire fight, I do think he won the fight but not by the margin they had him winning. There really needs to be a Dana White in boxing.

Sorry missed this from a while back. Hardcore boxing fans will be up for it. Not so sure about the general public as I haven't seen much mainstream media coverage of it. Anthony Joshua vs Dillian Whyte this weekend is a big deal though and looks like it has a decent undercard too.

That's a shame. Frampton is a really good fighter and Quigg has been looking a lot better lately. It should be a great fight; it's just a shame it's not being promoted more.

I kind of like AJ myself. I think he's developing very well even if he hasn't really been tested yet. The Kevin Johnson knock out impressed me; Johnson may not be that good of a fighter and he's older, but he's a pretty durable guy and Joshua just crushed him.

I know Whyte has been having a feud with Joshua but how close should this fight be? I would think Whyte doesn't really have the tools to get it done.

He beat him in the amateurs and has a puncher's chance (got the power). Outside of that it's very unlikely. I guess if it went 12 rounds then Joshua has never even fought more than 3 so that would be a new test.

Will that fight be televised in the USA?

I don't think it's being televised here, unfortunately. I'm streaming the fights though.

Are you talking about the Anthony Joshua fight? I'm watching the undercard right now. It's pay-per-view on Sky Sports box office.

If you guy's want to watch the Joshua fight.

Thanks for the link, it's a lot higher quality than the one I've been watching. t:

David Haye looks like a mad scientist right now.

Joshua is winning the fight but man is he being exposed.

 

[Silver Spider]

I think that's a little harsh. As long as he wins and it's not controversial, I think this will have been a good developmental fight. Maybe not technically, but mentally. I'd rather a fighter deal with adversity in this type of fight than get to the big stage and not know how to deal with it.

 

[Silver Spider]

That uppercut was vicious.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Brutal uppercut to finish it. He also needed the rounds.

 

[Iceman]

Was impressed with Whyte in this fight. Sure we'll see more of him. Joshua was hurt in the 2nd after nearly knocking the guy out in the 1st. Interesting stuff. Great night of boxing including a very exciting undercard.

That look on Paulie's face.

Very fun card. I can't believe Luke Campbell lost.

Yeah, 117-109 is ridiculous.

I had it 115-111. Fight of the year in my opinion.

the look on malignaggi's face is the look you make when you unwittingly become a murder witness

Brandon Jennings got KTFO! Ortiz looks good but let's just hope he passed his drug test before we put him up there. He has great form and hits like a mule but he's like the Barry Bonds of boxing.

What would be your fight of the year guys? Mine is Mattheysse Vs Provodnikov. An all out brawl.

I don't know, I thought Matthysse won the fight pretty handily; I scored that fight 8-4. Don't get me wrong, it was a good fight but I don't think it lived up to expectations.

Personally, I thought Vargas/Miura was the best we've seen this year.

Bradley vs Pacquio 3. What BS. Seen this coming a mile away. The boxing politics is crazy! Arum is freaking 84 years old! You'd think this dude would see the light(or flames)at the end of the tunnel and try to make things right but nope! Keep all the money in house, like he's taking it with him. Unreal!

 

[Fallen Angel]

I saw it coming too. I think Manny has gone so much downhill that Bradley could win this trilogy.

All part of Arum's plan! Bradley would be his new cash cow.............if that makes any sense. There really isn't any indicator just how good Tim Bradley or Keith Thurman is because of these freaking promoter wars. They are fighting the same guys over and over again.

And like it or not, it is actually a good fight.

Yeah it is BS, I would've rather seen Pac in with Terrance Crawford. And HBO wasn't going to sign off on Khan.

But Bradley sells more tickets. Everyone involved knows it. Pac is so passed his prime he needs a guy like Bradley in there. I don't believe Atlas helped Bradley as much as people are being led to believe. Rios was already a walking punching bag, and in that fight he wasn't trained and already having problems with his trainer. Pac/Bradley should be a decent match, Bradley has been on a decline since the Provodnikov , and Pac has been on an even bigger decline with no KOs. Something will give.

All that said, I'm not buying the fight.
