The Official Boxing Thread!!! - Part 3

[Silver Spider]

Wlad looked pretty old in his last fight; I think Fury's got a good chance of winning. I can see Tyson mauling Klitschko on the inside.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The problem for Fury is he fights in a straight line, which is historically great for Wlad. He beats the piss out of guys who fight like that against him. If Wlad isn't too old, I think he knocks out Fury.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Canelo/Cotto was closer than the scorecards. I had Canelo winning, but it was closer.

If Canelo can neutralize GGGs left hand, he has a shot. People think GGG will walk right through Canelo, but Canelo isn't one of the cans GGG has been feasting on. Plus the likes of Lara, Trout, Cotto and even losing to Floyd are better than anything GGG has done and has been getting better prepared for him. The question is will Oscar let Canelo fight GGG.

I can't believe nobody has talked about the Vargas/Maura fight! That was easily the fight of the year!

 

[Docker2.0]

Listen, I like Canelo as much as the next man but I give him no chance against GGG.
"Mexican style" favors GGG. Plus if Floyd can make Canelo second guess his next step, then GGG would have him pondering suicide. The weight advantage Canelo has against other fighters won't help against GGG. But I agree with you about that scorecard. That seems to be the norm with Canelo. Remember one judge had it either a draw or Canelo winning against Floyd? Oscar sure is paying someone's house note.

Pulev found that out the hard way. A younger Wlad should win fairly easily, but who knows what he's going to look like come Saturday.

That fight was crazy; Vargas was done at the end of the 8th round. You don't usually see comebacks like that.

Remember one judge had it either a draw or Canelo winning against Floyd?

That's C. J. Ross though. This is literally the description on her Wikipedia page:

"C.J. Ross is a retired boxing judge who drew criticism for her scorecards in multiple high-profile fights."

 

[Docker2.0]

Well my point was that someone is paying these judges to make sure Canelo wins. Again, I think he won the fight but the scorecards were crazy. And I don't know what fight CJ Ross saw but she clearly isn't alone.

 

[Silver Spider]

Canelo does typically get the benefit of the doubt in close rounds; more than probably any other fighter.

 

[robocop!]

Hey guys just recently joined up, I think the fury & Klitschko fight will end in a knockout im English so I want fury to win but I think Klitschko will win 8th or 9th round.

 

[Docker2.0]

I'm picking Fury. Klits looks old and he tends to hold a lot. Plus I do think size is going to come into play for once. He's not able to use that as an advantage like he did against Jenner. Plus he does have a suspect chin which Fury will be able to get to. Either way, I don't see it going 12 rounds.

 

[robocop!]

I don't think age is a factor in this fight, George foreman came back and won the heavy weight belt & gave Evander Holyfield a scare aswell but to get back to this fight Tyson has not fought anyone decent and he is going to be outclassed by vlad

 

[Silver Spider]

Welcome robocop! I've only gotten back onto the boards recently, but everyone in this thread is pretty cool.

I've got Dr. Steelhammer beating , but Fury's definitely got a chance against "old" Wlad.

 

[STARMAN]

Welcome to the hype, Robocop.

 

[robocop!]

but with Tyson its his chin, he got knocked down by an opponent who is probably a bin man now but yeah that was early in his fighting career but if wlad gets a decent punch in I wouldn't be shocked if he drops like a stone

 

[Fallen Angel]

Robocop has been decommissioned.

 

[antonydelfini]

Wlad is gonna own Fury, but he'll always have a punching chance against Wlad's chin, but im not betting on that.

 

[STARMAN]

I'm picking Wlad.

 

[famicommander]

I'm taking Wlad today also.

Gonna be such a fun day

Boxing seems to be on the entire day. Forgot PBC comes on NBC. Charlo is fighting some cab driver and then later tonight on Showtime Bute is fighting as well. Those Charlo guys really need to step up their competition. They've seem to be in building mode forever.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Degale vs Bute on tonight as well.

 

[Iceman]

Klitschko Fury starting right now!

 

[Silver Spider]

Fury is looking like Malignaggi with all those jittery feints.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah he looks like a crazy guy out there haha.

 

[Iceman]

He does have a bit of speed surprisingly. Quite interesting so far.

 

[Iceman]

Klitschko's cut. At this stage he isn't landing many punches & there doesn't seem much in it. If it continues like this who knows what the judges will think.

 

[Iceman]

Tyson Fury new World Heavyweight Champ!!

Unanimous decision - crazy!
