Re: Boxing 2012
Just watched the Flintoff fight. Well don Freddie. Glad he won. Was a good fight. Shame i didnt put the bet on as he was the underdog so it would have been a nice payout

While he should be applauded for stepping into the Boxing ring the fact is at the end of the day he fought a nobody and the problem will be if he steps up in class he is likely to find that being on the floor more will not be to his liking.

Tyson Fury defeats Kevin Johnson in a poor fight in Belfast
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/20553461
Quote:
Tyson Fury moved one step closer to a world title shot after overcoming Kevin Johnson by unanimous decision after a disappointing encounter in Belfast.
Though Fury, 24, walked to the ring singing along to his entrance theme, he was able to produce little of note inside the 12 rounds.
Johnson, 33, agreed to the contest with only three weeks' notice and though obstinate never looked likely to win.
|
Not that impressive though.

Problem being one win for Fury makes him the mandatory challenger for a HW title. So an easy squash match sets him up.. Brilliant.

Re: Boxing 2012
Pretty disappointed with the boxing this weekend apart from Eubanks Junior. I think he's a quality fighter.
Flintoff won but let's face it there were times where his oponent dodged a lot of the punches being thrown, and Freddie was leaving himself pretty exposed. The Tyson Fury fight was dismal. I think the fact that they are both mates (or at least got on well accoriding to the pre fight build up) might have had something to do with it.

Re: Boxing 2012
Remember Pacman fights in about 45 minutes.
Quote:
Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez (08/12/12)
Long gone are the days of hype over a Pacman/Mayweather showdown. Simply put is Floyd Mayweather would take Manny Pacquiao apart in his current form and I'd go as far as saying Floyd would have beaten him at his prime too. Mayweather is just something else. So then, yet another bout between Marquez and Pacman, the fourth infact. Many claim Pacman controversially won the previous encounter but I don't know and with the judges we've seen over the previous year it's clear this could go anyway.
Winner: Either (Points)
|
I'm still undecided but I'm gonna go for an explosive Manny KO.

Re: Boxing 2012
Indeed my money's definitely on the Pacman.

Re: Boxing 2012
Simply sensational, fight of the year, both guys went for it.
What's gone wrong? Manny, Khan etc. Has Freddie Roach dropped the ball somewhere as his fighters have just gone down the drain.
Mayweather to take out Marquez again? Fight number 5?
That cold feeling when Pacman was face down and not moving was horrible.

Yep, Manny has to call time now, focus on this political thing and move on, the way his wife rushed to the ring in tears should be enough to put an end to it. Emotional scenes on a remarkable career. He's talking about going back, training and then fighting again. He has nothing to fight for now.
Freddie Roach on the other hand is in a world of trouble, his camp is quickly disappearing before his feet. Everyone's been quick to point finger's at Khan but it's now becoming clear that Roach may have more to do with the decline of two world champions than previously thought.

Ending was one of the coldest moments in boxing though.
Being looking into what David Haye's doing, to me he's getting bigger and bigger as if he's ready to take on Vitali.
Price and Fury fight's being talked about too much, fight won't happen and if it somehow did it won't be brilliant by a long margin. Again a very poor HW division.
Khan vs Molina up next.
