The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 3

Tony Weeks is an embarrassment to boxing refs.

Dude waited until the final round to act like he was in a fight. I give it to Porter

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Nah I actually have Broner by KO late. Porter is a bit wild and that catch weight is really going to hurt him. I don't see Broner taking him lightly because he KNOWS he has a fight on his hands. Despite Broner's big mouth, dude does have talent. Porter is going to be gassed around the 7th round, especially with the way he fights.

Like clockwork.

It ended up being an easy fight to score. Broner can't handle good guys that are the same size as him. If he can't bully his opponent, he doesn't do enough.

Docker, if you are going bat 50% in your predictions, you can't just take credit when you are right.

The Broner/Porter fight was 50/50. But it is what it is. Watching Andre Ward school someone right now.

It wasn't 50/50, the only question was the weight.

 

[BadrHari]

Broner lost, but did get a sweet knockdown in round 12.... Ward wins 9th round TKO, no surprise there. Cotto was in audience.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Broner HAHA.

 

[STARMAN]

Broner was exposed a while ago.

I didn't even realize Ward fought.

GGG fights someone that's at least ranked in the top 10, he gets called out for fighting bums, Ward fights a complete nobody for the 3rd year straight, it's called schooling and everyone is praising him. Gee I wonder why...


I didn't even bother to watch that fight, but I bet Kovalev's name never came up, and if it did, it was lies. Ward needs to push for that fight or he's the one that's a b- ch with the blatant duck.


Porter/Broner wasn't 50/50. Porter clearly beat him.

Whatever dude, Ward's been off almost two years, he's supposed to jump back in there with anybody? If that's the case what's GGG's excuse? Ward needed some work and that's what it was.

Broner just isn't ready, clearly. Defensively he's never been good and never tried to fix it either.

 

[Docker2.0]

Doc Samson, Kovalev's promoter has said they are looking at fighting Ward next year as they have discussed with Ward's camp. Its on YouTube. I don't even respond to dude anymore. Saying Ward is schooling someone is evidently racist now according to him.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Ward was in a tune up fight. He was never going to fight anyone dangerous last night. He should now be looking at the a credible opponent.

 

[Nightmare]

"Should be" definitely.

It's clearly nothing racist you clown, it's your blatant biased towards Ward.

Well if people want to claim him as the #2 P4P guy out there, saying he should be fighting GGG, then he's obviously ready for Kovalev.

Ward's been getting "some work" since the Super 6 ended.

Time for him to sack up and fight Kovalev next.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Actually rumour is after Koavelv fight's his mandatory next month ,his and Stevenson's promoters along with the WBC are looking into a undisputed title fight.

That's the fight everyone in the 175lb division want's to see.

For "that poster" who doesn't do his homework:

From the horse's mouth: it's being targeted for next year. Ward is manning up and fighting guys above him and not sitting around and begging smaller fighters to fight him. Dude is almost 34(GGG)and still is fighting cab drivers. He needs to fight someone with a pulse. Not sold on Lemieux either but he is a guy that has some power and would form some challenge for GGG who gets hit a lot!

 

[Iron_Stark]

Doubtful, first he says he'll fight him, them he says what's the point of fighting him, until anything is seriously discussed and signed, I'll believe it until I see it.

And I know Ward will act like he's A-side with diva demands.

Bigger piece of the pie belongs to Kovalev and no Oakland.

 

[Docker2.0]

Not sure you realized but that's Kovalev's camp talking, not Ward. How can you blame Ward when they all agreed next year is better for them?!

This is unabashed hyperbole. Golovkin has beaten Kassim Ouma, Matthew Macklin, Daniel Geale, Marco Antonio Rubio, and Martin Murray. All of those men have been world-class boxers. Some of them reigned for a bit as recognized world champions. Hardly cab drivers.

Considering the ringside presence of Hopkins and De La Hoya in Montreal this past Saturday night, it seems to me that Golden Boy is gearing up to feed Lemieux to Canelo. This is particularly exciting because it suggests that, after Canelo's confirmed clash with Cotto (and, of course, assuming he wins), they are looking to make him the unified middleweight champion. After Canelo picks up a pair of belts, enough time will probably have passed for Golden Boy to get brave and decide to finally cash in on a superfight with Golovkin. September 2016, if we're lucky.

Nobody I'd consider a real threat though. If he ever winds up fighting Ward (or Cotto/Canelo for that matter) it would be a significant step up in competition from who's fought so far. Significant. And before I proclaim him as something truly special, I need to see that. Because there's been too many boxers who came along from other countries who built a record fighting guys nobody knows. And as soon as they get in there with somebody serious, it's a problem.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

There is a reason Cotto looked spooked at the idea of fighting GGG. Other fighters know how good he is. That doesn't mean he is unbeatable or anything. I think a fight with Canelo would be fantastic.

I see Cotto giving GGG a fight for about 6 rounds before he gets KO'd. GGG is just to big for dude. He should just give up that Middleweight title because the only reason he won it is because he fought a broken Sergio. I honestly think Canelo would beat GGG. GGG has power but dude's defense is severely lacking and suspect. Canelo has underrated hand speed and won't have to cut weight if he was to fight him.

I agree. Cotto wants no part of GGG and again, he shouldn't have to. Just give up the belts. Him holding on to them while he fights Canelo makes no sense. Neither of these guys want to go up in weight right now.
