[Poetic Chaos]

I'll be happy with Pac/Bradley. This is exactly what Pac needs. A champion in his prime. Not anyones leftovers. Not someone over the hill. A new fresh face to add to his legacy. And at this point in his career that's all Pac should be fighting for.

And yes I believe Bob Arum is the biggest thing in the way of the big fight. If it doesn't happen in November, it's never happening.

 

[Docker2.0]

Agreed Poetic! I don't blame Mayweather or Paq. This is Arum all the way. However, I do think Paq is going to run all over Bradley. Though he's undefeated, he's the worst undefeated fighter I've ever seen.

 

[Iron_Stark]

Because I don't think Mayweather is boring but think the Klitsch's are, that makes me contradict myself?! And why are you bringing race into this? It has nothing to do with that, but since you did, can I ask if you are filipino? Just curious.

PS- I don't really think the Klitch's are boring, just the heavyweight division just sucks big time. That's what makes those guys boring.

No, what gives you that idea?

Mayweather fighting Cotto sucks. Paquiao fighting whoever else in June sucks. Arum sucks and Goldenboy Promotions suck.

Like I have said countless times, EVERYONE involved is to blame.

Looking forward to seeing Donaire and JCJR this weekend.

And RIP Angelo Dundee.

this crap is all Arum.....ugh. this fight needs to happen and fast.

 

[Docker2.0]

Sad thing is this Kane: If the fight doesn't happen this year, people will lose interest in the fight and it won't make anywhere near the money it could have made. Arum is the new Don King.

Well ill be damned, I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. My only hope is that if the fight doesn't happen this yr, then it doesn't happen at all.

I have no desire to see it as it is, at least like most seem to, but dragging it any further will render it completely unnecessary.

Besides Martinez has said he'll only entertain fighting floyd at 150, nobody else, and IMO, that would be the better fight and challenge for floyd.

 

[antonydelfini]

Pac-Floyd isn't as exciting as it was years ago. Pac is unfocused with the politics, and his skills (speed, power, explosiveness) have been declining.

Anyway, I can't wait for Vasquez-Donaire. After Vasquez, he can fight Arce. His path to fighting Yuriorkis Gamboa is exciting.

 

[Assassin32]

I'm surprised so many people are under the impression that Pacquiao's skills have been dramatically declining as of late. The lack of excitement in his fights since he massacred Cotto has solely been a result of the styles and temperments of his opponents. The Clotteys and Mosleys were unwilling to mix it up and risk getting flattened, and Marquez has just always been too damn crafty. This Bradley fight may turn out to be a blessing in disguise, as I expect Pacquiao to absolutely Hattonize him and inspire the Henry Armstrong comparisons once again.

But we should be focused on the HBO card this Saturday, because it has two barn-burners on paper. Marco Antonio Rubio is no slouch, so if JCC Jr. hasn't continued improving under Freddie Roach he may be in for a boxing lesson. And I expect Donaire-Vazquez Jr. to be a war from the opening bell, considering the bad blood and trash talking that's been reported. Hell, even Vazquez's wife has been talking smack about Donaire.

 

[Docker2.0]

F-ing bias HBO commentating! You can't help but like Nonita Donaire because dude is funny but round 4 was clearly won by Vasquez but yet they were all over Donaire's n**ts that they gave him the round under the radar. This is why boxing is dying!

 

[Docker2.0]

Wow! Vasquez won round 5 but f-ing bias HBO commentating gives it to Nonita again. Again, this is why UFC is rising and boxing is sinking!

 

[Docker2.0]

Wtf fight was the judges watching?! Don't get me wrong, as I posted earlier, Vasquez won some rounds but I don't know how the freak Donito won by split decision. Donaire clearly won the fight, he lost a couple of rounds, but again, he clearly won the fight.

 

[Docker2.0]

It's now the 9th round and even though Rubio is outboxing Chavez, he's winning the fight. This is why boxing is dying. Where are the real boxing fans?!


PS- I'm drinking so ignore me ok.

 

[Docker2.0]

My gawd is Chavez overrated! If he ever got into the ring with Martinez, Sergio would get a murder charge! HBO is clearly overhyping Chavaz! This win is questionable, if he won! Bah! Again, this is why UFC is rising ang boxing is falling.

Chavez definitely won't be able to fight at the bigger weight classes using that style and Martinez is too skilled for that as well so im positive Arum will ensure Chavez doesn't get anywhere near more elite level competition. Decent fight though.

 

[Iron_Stark]

JCCJR would've gotten his ass whipped if he fought Martinez. He's F***ing up, a DUI two weeks before the fight? Yep, not only did he inherit his dad's left hook to the body, but his boozing.

Id like to see him with Margarito.

 

[antonydelfini]

I wasn't able to see Chavez-Rubio, but I hear Chavez did well. Donaire did well too, but he needs to work on his pacing. He seems to want to throw bombs all the time. He is too eager to knock out his opponent than setting up the killer punches. Anyway, a little more defense and boxing will make life a lot easier for the extremely talented Donaire, who dominated Vasquez with an injured left hand.

Manny Pacquiao is fighting Undefeated Timothy Bradley(28-0) on June 9th

Man, this is ugly. The Filipino boxer won it fair and square, but these fans are just disgusting. Even the guys from Team Lazarte are throwing haymakers. This should be investigated properly.

 

[Docker2.0]

Didn't see the fight. But that's what happens when you don't fight in the USA. You either get screwed by the judges or take your chances with the crowds. I'd take my chances with the judges.

Cinnamon vs Sugar

'Canelo' Alvarez is going to fight 'Sugar' Shane Mosely on the undercard of the Mayweather/Cotto fight.

http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/cinnamon-vs-sugar-107876


Throw in another interesting match up and I may just buy the fight. No way was I going to get it because of the farce of that Mayweather/Cotto match up.

US judges screw fighters from other countries all the time, look at the Khan/Peterson fight.

 

[Docker2.0]

Well.............................that's why I said take your chances with the judges or the crowd. I chose the judges.


And JCC didn't do well in that fight at all. He looked mediocre to bad. There's no way he's getting in the ring with Sergio Martinez no time soon or he's going to get exposed badly.

 

[Iron_Stark]

JCCJR isn't going anywhere if he keeps boozing during training camp. Martinez would whoop him worse than he did Paul Williams and Pavlik.

In fact, JCCJR should fight Williams or Pavlik to see where he's really at.

 

[Doc Samson]

Well Pavlik's "in-house" so that might happen, but I'm not sure Arum's all that concerned with seeing "where he's really at" because he's marketable. He'll probably let him build his record up a bit more before throwing him in there with someone he won't be able to handle easily.
