The Boxing Thread

Embarrassing......she should never judge another fight.

 

She was judging the Bradley-Pacquiao fight as well.

 

Who is next for Mayweather? They should stick Kahn in there for a laugh, see if he makes it to round 2.

 

I'm sure Mayweather will choose his next opponent wisely

 

It sounds daft, but as good as he is, i am never excited by him.

 

Same, you can admire how good a boxer and how technical he is but he is very boring to watch.

In, punch a few times, out, run away, defend and repeat for 12 rounds.

I prefer the style of going in to win as quick as possible like Pacquiao or Matthyse or even the Klitchkos(although their slowness is boring too). Like you would in a real fight. There's elements of dancing or ballet about boxers trying to win on points.

 

Has anyone got a download for this?

 

Anyone no were I can watch this fight. I fell asleep at 6 o'clock ffs

 

Any boxing fan knows that the greatest technical boxers tend to come across as a bit dull. They nullify their opponents weapons and pick them off bit by bit. It doesn't create the energy of a Pacquiao fight but Mayweather is more slippery than a trout covered in baby oil. Nobody can beat Mayweather for one reason, you can't beat what you can't hit! The man is the best technical fighter in our lifetime

 

A great performance again by Mayweather.
He just makes all the best boxers look like journeymen, not one person can say that Money hand picked this opponent, taller, stronger, 13 years younger, and he still schooled him.

Never have i seen a more complete boxer, he is up there with the all-time greats no doubt about it.

Legend mate, cheers

 

I worshipped Muhammed Ali and was a huge fan of Sugar Ray Leonard.......they were very technical and elusive, but apart from a few of Ali;s mid to later fights, they were never boring.Maybe the template for Mayweathers fights was when SRL beat Hagler........lighter, faster and more elusive, but he outpointed him by avoiding a confrontation.

Totally mate.

 

Hearns, Leonard, Duran, Hagler........now they were exciting boxers!

 

Floyd did what he does best. He makes good fighters look like amateurs. Sometimes not great to watch but he could not be expected to go toe to toe with a guy who was a minimum 15lbs heavier than him.

That YT link is not working for me so here is one of the American coverage.

Can't even be bothered to watch it,heard it was * and boring..

Points win was the obvious bet

 

Thats just it mate....that is why he isnt a big fans favourite, despite his obvious skills.
Its exactly as youd imagine......and the dvd will not be jumping off the shelfs in years to come.

 

If you mean the UK ones then the Americans were not that much better. At least in terms of their unofficial score cards which read, 119-109 x2 and 118-110. Paulli Magnilaggi (sp) was the 118-110 one. They weren't that bad during the fight in their comments to be fair but they still seemed to only give much credit to Floyd.
