lol, this guy ain't in the same league as Mayweather

they are fully up floyd's arse. tbf he's putting on a masterclass but still
Im being proper English and supporting the underdog.

I think Mayweather will either edge it or knock him out. Can't see Marquez winning really but it would be sick if he did.

Whay aint the scorecards coming up, he cant be that much infornt

[Hij]

Yeah thats true.

Fight got exciting now still. Who was that wanker in the crowd?

Marquez must be losing on points in the first few rounds so i take it the only way he can win is by knocking him out? so its basically mayweathers


you got a link for that hij?

mayweather should now adjust the defense:offense ratio and look for the highlight reel KO

[Mazer Rackham]

i bet mayweather will knock him out b4 the set fully downloads

[Nine Bar]

Just fuckin bang him

[Hij]

No way is Mayweather more than a couple points infront, its still there t be won
I don't even know what I'm talking about but I'd say Mayweather has won virtually every round because when he punches he hits Marquez's face, whereas when Marquez punches he often hits Mayweathers gloves or misses totally coz Mayweather ducks.

mayweather looks willing to trade now. let's hope he continues like that

fight was a good technical display by Floyd, but I would like to see a bit more entertainment instead of, Jab step back, jab step back and repeat for 12 rounds. I don't think he threw more then 10 combination throughout the whole fight.

While I can understand that is his style and his defense is the best in the world, Boxing being a entertainment sport , I would of like to see him throw alot more then a jab then step back.

explain to me what you mean by "entertainment sport" and how it's different from a plain ol' sport?

mayweather is a safety first ring technician through and through. he carried marquez last night but i think that can be pinned down to perfectionism and trying to get rounds under his belt

i actually really enjoyed mayweather's performance, it was poetry in motion. at least once a round there was a moment that left me in amazement. i wish he'd unloaded a bit more in the 2nd half but who are we to dictate how the greatest boxer of this era should fight? his defense first mentality is what makes him damn near impossible to beat and got him to where he is today


i saw a lot of floyd snr's influence in little floyd last night, he was pumping that jab out like we ain't witnessed in a looong time. looks like he's successfully merging both his uncle and his father's training styles

I watch boxing because I want to be entertained, That fight did not do that, it did for the first 5rounds, then it was the same thing every round which got boring.

no doubt but it was boring as hell to watch, first few rounds were good because everyone was on the edge of there seats wondering whats going to happen. Then after round 5/6/7 you got used too the jab step back repeat, yeah floyd is the best boxer in the world and dominated the fight easily, but id hardly call it an exciting, I can understand why this was not on PPV now.

Jones Jnr was fully reliant on his athletic prowess, Mayweather has the brains and technique to be a Hopkins. He's got another year or two before I start worrying about him

[Razmataz]

Dana white can suck a dick

Floyd looked fucking ruthless throwing perfect lightening speed jabs as soon as he saw a slight opening in marquez's defence and then started throwing left jabs in the middle rounds, it was possibly one of the most technically perfect fights hes had, not to take anything away from marquez who was clearly outclassed but was still fighting with the same heart in the last round as he was in the first. I can see why you might think it was boring but thats just mayweathers style and its made him the best p4p fighter so........

im doubtful mayweather pacman will be for a while with all the talk of the other guys they want to fight him first but we can hope

True but he's also reliant on speed which is usually the first thing to go, I hope he'll have the intelligence to recognise this & adjust his style accordingly, I want him to retire undefeated like Calzaghe.

Not completely but it seems to be an important part of his technique, Marquez couldn't get near to him due to his exceptional head movment & jab speed, don't get me wrong, I think he's smart enough to adjust his style once he inevitably loses some of his speed.

i'd place several aspects of floyd's game above his speed

for starters his ring IQ and timing. his defense is more about anticipation than reflexes

and he doesn't usually jab your head off like he did marquez last night, so we know he can do what he does without that

what will hurt him majorly is when he becomes less mobile - his footwork is crazy, but again i think his mind is more important than his feet in that regard too

[Nokia]

Watched the fight last night, and again today.One word...wow.

Mayweather gave a boxing masterclass, and made Marquez look like an amateur.

When I watched it the 2nd time I was looking for Mayweather faults to see if I could pick anything out, but he was superb.

So then QC....what you think is next for Mayweather? and at the age of 32, and his current 'status' in boxing how many more fights do you realistically think he will have before he retires for good?

[Quality Control]

So then QC....what you think is next for Mayweather? and at the age of 32, and his current 'status' in boxing how many more fights do you realistically think he will have before he retires for good?

you have to consider his potential opponents. there are limited fights available to him

i don't think he'll face anyone outside of pacquiao, cotto and mosley but there may be a small chance berto or even khan get considered after that business is dealt with as they're worth money and still improving and around his weight.

cotto/pac winner in spring 2010, mosley in autumn 2010, cotto/pac loser in spring 2011 if they've successfully rebuilt themselves. there is a chance he squeezes in a mosley bout this winter and then faces cotto/pac winner in summer 2010 though. basically he'll be done by mid 2011 at the latest

if he picks up a loss somewhere along the line he'll go on for longer to rebuild himself and make up for the defeat

i'm surprised this fight is on sky box office. i didn't realise haye has (or thought he had) that much drawing power.

either way, i'll be surprised if he didn't beat this guy. ruiz, chagauev and holyfield are the only legit guys (imo) he's been in with and out of those only chag is a puncher and he beat him.

haye wipes the floor with him, 100lb weight difference or not.

[M.O.G.]

Haye should win but then again everyone said that when he fought 40yr old Carl thompson and look wat happened there, in terms of ability Haye v Valuev is a no-contest but Valuev always has a puchers chance

true say about thompson, but he was a beast that night. i didn't think he'd beat haye, let about beast him like he did but it was just his night.

valuev, even though he has 34 or so kos on his record isn't what i'd call a puncher. whenever he's been in there with legit fighters he's gone the distance (ruiz, chag and holyfield). he ko's bums.

also, haye's chin is better at heavyweight, because he doesn't have to cut weight and suffer the ill effects. that said, he took good shots in his last two fights at cruiserweight and won both.

[M.O.G.]

I agree with u, when I said he has a punchers chance I didnt mean he was a big hitter I meant he always has the chance 2 land a lucky shot.

Agreed, Froch v Kessler next, im fully expecting Kessler to knock him out...as far as im concerned it's between Abraham & Kessler, Froch wears rose tinted glasses, thinks he's perfect when he has many flaws...Calzaghe woulda gave him a master-class.
He's probably the most over-rated boxer on these shores

(Incase u didnt clock I dont like Froch)

Abraham looked better than I expected, he carried the weight well and his power looks monstrous. He's stronger than Froch and has a sturdier chin - he will badly KO him, but it should be fun while it lasts.

Pascal is a world class fighter and current WBC L.H.W champ

And he faught taylor who at the time was a world class fighter...hens him being inducted into the super six
Pascal is aight. Going life & death with Diaconu and scraping a win isn't gonna convince me he's anything special though.

Taylor has been a shadow of himself since Pavlik knocked him out.


End of the day that vids right though man....You cant win a title by running. ducking so your facing his feet! and complaining like a bitch If he faught like he did in the latter rounds we would have seen a new champ!
No it's not... Dirrell OUTLANDED Froch, in EVERY round. He hit Froch more consistently and more cleanly throughout the fight. He had two rounds (6 and 7) where he was excessively clinching and spoiling, but he picked it up again after that and absolutely schooled Froch in round 11. By the way I don't believe he deserved to have the point deducted, both men were fighting dirty and you either gotta take a point from Froch for rabbit-punching too or just leave both of them with warnings.

"Dirrell wasn't doing anything" - Froch was doing even less. Does plodding forward without throwing or landing any punches win rounds now?

How can you fight someone thats running? sure it was round to or three where froch did a little run to hit him. I diddnt at first but watching it back i got pissd off because he diddnt come to fight at all. from time hes putting his head right down and looking at his feet thats some bitch move man....It was a close fight, but looking back it was the right choice (quite alot of andres punches where hitting frochs gloves the fact he was throwing loads made it seem like he was doing more)

it's called "boxing". Dirrell may have been overly negative at points but maybe if Froch wasn't so shit and actually tried to cut the ring off rather than just gormlessly stalking Andre he could have caught him.

bullshit, he was hitting Froch clean in the face on a regular basis, far more regularly than Froch hit him anyway.



please justify how Froch can recieve the decision when he (A) threw less punches and (B) landed less punches than his opponent

Dirrell actually hurt Froch in round 10 too

I think at the end of the day its what you go for personally....Froch was more the aggreser and when he did land andre hung on for dear life, and froch diddnt even let of BIG shots! for that reason aswell i give it to froch and obv my reasons listed. we shall have to agree to disagree on this one.

i disagree with the assertion that froch was "the aggressor". there was no aggressor in that fight. you cannot be considered the aggressor if you aren't being aggressive. plodding forward is not a sign of aggression. and anyway "effective aggression" is the basis through which fights are meant to be judged, and dirrell was easily more effective in his aggression than froch

the thing is though, pacquiao is relentless and will be throwing punches and working nonstop. mayweather has a low workrate and takes breaks so that could end up in pacquiao stealing rounds based on activity

also, mayweather's never faced anyone as unpredictable as pacquiao. he fights off rhythm, southpaw and creates difficult angles. mayweather's defense is one of the best ever but he still gets hit, and i forsee him being hit more frequently than he ever has before against pacquiao

however i don't think pacquiao would be able to cope with both mayweather's defense and his offense at the same time and would be getting nailed clean consistently throughout the whole fight

so i think mayweather wins on points

valuev is poor, but has some obvisous vantage points, in my eyes its haye's to lose. if he gets to excited and starts trying to batter valuev down he might get tired or worse walk into a punch, and haye's jaw is still a bit suspect.

he should win by 10 points or knockout, if he doesn't win comfortably then either klitshcko will eat him alive when he finally grows some balls

nah i disagree. pacquiao's offense is a lot more dynamic than cotto's and his off-rhythm, unpredictable, southpaw style should prove to be a tougher puzzle to solve than what cotto can offer a mayweather fight. mayweather v cotto would only be slightly more competetive than mayweather v marquez

in terms of importance it is more but being realistic i see mosely/pac a more negotiable fight. fight fans clearly desire the fight betwnn fm and manny but there are going to be shit loads of snags in the negotiations.

with regards to mosely, decieving it might have been but decisive he has been in his last two fights. granted mayorga isn't the best but it was a good win. i dont think berto would beat him personally, regardless of the age difference. mosely has the experience edge and the clinical edge

Mayorga was about 10 seconds from winning that fight. That performance wasn't impressive at all IMO. In fact afterwards Mosley was more or less considered done to have looked so awful against a past it Mayorga, then he went and beat the shit out of Margarito and everyone kind of forgot all about it.

I don't consider Berto to be anything special really (he owes Collazo a rematch too) but he is very fast with decent pop and can be quite awkward defensively when he sticks to a gameplan. I can't say I'm convinced he's gonna beat Mosley, because old or no he is still top class, but I just have the gut feeling that his parade is gonna be rained on. He's been inactive for a while since the Margarito win also, and that can't be good at this stage in his career.

9pm i think

i got khan to pitch a shut-out over salita - wide ud
mitchell to wear down the clumsy prescott and win a ud or late tko
williams to edge martinez in a close, competetive bout

[Matt91]

The WBA light-welterweight champion makes the first defence of his title against Dmitriy Salita at Newcastle's Metro Arena tonight.

And even though Khan chose to represent Great Britain, ahead of Pakistan, at the Athens 2004 Olympics, amazingly he sometimes gets booed.

The reaction from a small minority of fans has clearly annoyed Khan and once more the forthright Bolton star has met the problem head on in his usual no-holds-barred style.

He said: "It's probably jealousy and sometimes skin colour does make a difference. I know if maybe I was a white English fighter, I would be a superstar in Britain and the world.

"I never get racial remarks, but it's always out there, which you can't stop. You just live and learn about what people are like. I just choose to ignore them and carry on with my career."

Khan first felt a backlash after he suffered the only defeat of his 22-fight career - a 54 seconds knockout at the hands of Colombian puncher Breidis Prescott last September.

He added: "Straight after the Prescott fight, when people said 'he's finished' there were racial remarks made. But it made me stronger, it made me comeback stronger and made me a better fighter.

"I'm proud to be British and it's a small minority who says that, but it does hurt you and it pushes you all the way.

"I went to the Olympics for Britain and won a silver medal for this country and then won a world title too."

Khan has always been forthright in his condemnation of any terrorist activity and, after the London bombings, went on record stating that anyone who knew anything should shop them to police.

In fact, he made his pro debut in Bolton just days after the London bombings and showed his solidarity for the capital by walking around in a Union Jack with the word London emblazoned on it.

He has never been afraid to speak his mind and says exactly what he thinks, refusing to be intimidated by events, religion, race or politics.

He said: "I'm trying to fix things between communities because there's always going to be stuff there like racial things and people not getting on with each other.

"I'm trying to break that barrier and prove to people it's nothing like that. They have to look that I'm British, I went to the Olympic Games for Britain, I could have chosen to go for Pakistan if we were all like that.

"I'm a Muslim, but I respect other religions and other cultures. Just like with Salita, I respect the Jewish religion he follows and he respects me.

"With me being a sportsman and being an icon, if I can send a little message across that will maybe help a lot of people, I will do that.

"I'm never going to change as a person. I believe in peace and that religion really shouldn't come in sport.

"I've never experienced it myself, but if you go on the message boards on the web and chat forums there are always people who have to get the religious thing in.

"You get it the other side too and that's why I would rather just have peace. I'm doing what I love doing and it's a sport. Everything around it I choose to ignore."

Khan is considering moving to America and has been overwhelmed by the way his boxing celebrity has been received in the States.

Since Khan's only defeat, he now trains for every fight at Freddie Roach'' Wild Card gym in Los Angeles and top names have been queuing up to shake his hand.

He said: "In America they treat me like a god. Everyone shakes my hand and says 'You have made one of the best comebacks ever in boxing.'

"Oscar De La Hoya came to see me train as well as Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao, they can't believe how I have made the Prescott fight history and they come to the gym to see me train - they want to be part of it.

"I'm a big fan of theirs and when I first met them I was shy. They said great performance against Kotelnik and take this guy Salita out. In this fight, Salita has no chance.

"I've spent a year with Freddie and of that time seven months have been non-stop working with him. He knows me a lot better now and he knows when we spar that I have got something in me.

"Freddie tells me to stick to a game plan and that's exactly what I will do. I will go for it if he says go for it."

Salita has a puncher's chance just like Prescott had and the New Yorker will prove more awkward than expected but Khan will go for it after six rounds and stop him.

khan does get alot of hate, which i think is a little unfair

[Quality Control]

Khan is just a bit of a dickhead really. But a lot of great boxers have been I spose... Judge him on what he achieves in the ring rather than what he says in interviews.

He's quite thick too and I think journalists corner him into saying this stuff quite often.

[Grimeminister Like Gordon]

Amir Khans gonna get desolated by that jewish dude. Hes got a real sweet left hook and the right is just inhumane! Watch out for a 4th round knockout and the jew to be named world champion!

Mitchell has made the card worth watching alone

Mitchell looked awesome so far

mitchell was very good, surprised at the 10 point gap on one of the score cards though

[Keyser Söze]

[Keyser Söze]

freddie roach has done a great job with khan

and he's gonna get much much better

[Quality Control]

didn't learn anything from that fight. what an utter waste of time

hopefully he fights someone with a pulse next time

[Sink0]

who next? Malignaggi maybe?

[Unknown Poster]

who next? Malignaggi maybe?

would be good for khan, he should beat malignaggi and he is a decent name to have on your list

[Quality Control]

who next? Malignaggi maybe?

I'm thinking Mitchell, Malignaggi v Diaz II winner or Hatton

they mentioned JMM but I doubt that'll materialise.
