The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 3

Chris Arreola looked so bad today. He's lucky to escape with a draw. I guess he'll be a BS mandatory for Wilder next. Hopefully Wilder gets chin-checked like he did against Molina.

I wouldn't be shocked if Arreola hurts Wilder really bad. Dude chin is clearly suspect and with him fighting cab drivers, it doesn't really help. I'm hoping I'm wrong but his last fight showed me a lot about him.

Most of Wilder's fights have shown me a lot about his flaws. The guy may have an Olympic medal but the talent pool at heavyweight even in the amateurs is lackluster. Size will win you fights.

Molina doesn't even have that much power and he was able to rock Wilder. Arreola is shorter but if he comes in better shape and doesn't eat jabs all night like he did against Vitali then he will have a better chance. I would expect Wilder to use his jab against Arreola's pressure but if he keeps moving back with his lands low he's getting dropped, and maybe for the count.

I'll tell you one thing, if I were Wilder I'd gladly take the Arreola fight before the Povetkin mandatory, because Sasha is on a roll right now and I think he would outbox and potentially KO Wilder.

Golovkin Vs Lemieux is set to be announced according to rumours.

Oh and Kovalev in action tomorrow guy's. It's a mandatory defence.

 

[Docker2.0]

Watching the Pascal-Gonzalez fight and I don't know what HBO is watching. I thought Pascal clearly hurt Gonzalez numerous times but they seem to only see what Gonzalez is doing.

 

[Docker2.0]

Dang! Talk about rigging fights! No way Jean Pascal won this fight. I had it closer than HBO had it but no way did Pascal win this fight. No way!!

 

[STARMAN]

Early in his career, Wilder was knocked down and supposedly very hurt by Harold Sconiers. Never found video of the fight.

Gonzalez won the fight but the decision didn't surprise me. I'm never surprised by boxing decisions anymore.

 

[Docker2.0]

Wilder's chin is very suspect. He needs to really work on his defense. Once he starts to go up in competition, I can't see him beating the elite guys unless he catches them early.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Golovkin Vs Lemieux is confirmed for October 17th at MSG.

Golovkin Vs Lemieux is confirmed for October 17th at MSG.

On PPV no less.

Wtf are they thinking? This is going to be a PPV bomb. No way does this sell.

It may be a more attractive fight than Mayweather/Berto, but it's not worth paying for.

 

[Fallen Angel]

It's a unfication fight, man. Golovkin did say he want's to unify all the 4 major belt's in the division. Lemieux is the IBF Champ.

And they want Golovkin to go over in the States so that's why its' on PPV.

 

[Docker2.0]

They picked the wrong time of year to put this on PPV.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It should be on HBO. I am so pissed about this.

 

[Docker2.0]

You think you are pissed now, you wait til HBO gets the numbers back from that PPV. Someone is going to get fired for that.

Seriously, I doubt this goes on PPV. Remember Broner was suppose to fight Maidana on Showtime PPV but someone finally came to their senses and said this will bomb so they put it on Showtime. I can see the same thing happening here. No way will this be on PPV, especially with GGG's KO history. I'd be pissed if I bought this for $50 and it only last 2-3 rounds.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Lemieux has serious power too. This aint lasting 12 rounds.

 

[Docker2.0]

Yeah but he got KO'd before. GGG has an underrated chin. He got hit with some shots before that would have put a horse down and he shook them off like they were nothing. GGG in 5.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I hope the PPV tracking is so low, they put it on HBO.

 

[Docker2.0]

Garcia vs. Paulie tomorrow night. I can't wait. I get the feeling that Garcia will get the win but with controversy. Paulie has no power but he is a good boxer. We will see though.



Anyway, here's a video that I found to be pretty interesting.

[Doc Samson]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see how strong Danny is at 147, it's not like Paulie has a granite chin, and I'm sure he'll get touched whenever he's not moving. Should be interesting.

 

[Docker2.0]

Paulie, although a pillow puncher, is a good boxer. He actually beat ***** in my eyes, though it doesn't mean much. I actually like his chances.

What, are you on days or evenings now?

 

[Doc Samson]

I'm all over the place lol, summertime get a little crazy for me.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Who you guy's got for Paulie v Garcia? I got Garcia winning this by hook or crook.

 

[Doc Samson]

Hope Paulie really is done, I'm not sure what he did to warrant fighting Garcia in the first place, he got annihilated by Porter.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Garcia has been looking worse and worse in every fight. Its only a matter of time before someone beats him bad. Guess that's why Haymon has been protecting him as much as he has.

It is scary how mediocre he now looks.

 

[Docker2.0]

He's like a quiet Broner now. You guys saw his rap video about women with big butts? I don't know why athletes these days don't really dedicate themselves to their craft. They go all into left field and get caught up with crazy things. I know the video is kind of old but it's crazy how these guys seem to let the money go to their heads. It's no wonder some of these guys are boxing until they are 50 years old.
