GWCGWC 83 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 GGG wants a payday and who can blame him. He's willing to split purses with far lesser opponents at catch weights because he needs to earn. I hate how the Premier Championship Boxing cards are spread over several channels with the full gambit of quality match-ups. NBC, CBS, TruTV, ESPN, NBCSN, HBO and I'm probably forgetting other channels will air PCB cards. I was watching a fight a few weeks ago and NBC moved the fight to NBCSN mid flucking main event fight. No joke. I was not happy since I had recorded the program. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Freddie Roach says that Cotto will face Canelo prior to facing GGG. http://www.latinpost...eddie-roach.htm Assuming Canelo gets past Cotto (he should), and if GGG doesn't duck (which he may), that (Canelo/GGG) would be a fight I might pay to see. November 21st baby! I may have to take Cotto by decision if he's able to keep his cool and box instead of getting hit a couple of times and deciding to go toe to toe.

Scroom 436 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah I'm not so sure Canelo takes this down as I once was. Been watching some 2014/2015 footage of Cotto. He's actually improving into his mid 30's, which is weird for that weight class. Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Apparently so. The degree to which he dispatched Lemieux was basically as decisive as the canfest that is his record so far. There was never any doubt he was the real deal but at this point, if they play their cards right, since he's white enough to be considered white, he can be as marketable as Mayweather ever was.

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I saw the headlines. Wanted $300k, not to mention the $800k he had to pay GGG to step aside. That's crazy. How much must they be making to afford that? Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Oh wow Just watched that fight.... entertaining... But looking at past heavyweight champions, Fury does not look that great. I don't see him holding the title for a long time Link to post Share on other sites

Scroom 436 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I haven't gotten time to watch it but am looking forward to it. I am a bit of a Fury fan. Horseshit between him and Haye. I totally, totally agree with his 'position' on this. **** Haye. http://www.bbc.com/s...boxing/34959206 Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Jesus that PAC man fight. They gotta clean up the judges in this sport. Link to post Share on other sites
Scrim 115 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I disagree with the histrionics. Horn was way, way more aggressive and had an overwhelming crowd advantage as the hometown favorite. From the vantage of the judges box in that stadium, it's not hard to see how they ruled for him, Contrast that with Shitbag Atlas and his insanely slanted commentary and being a massive Pacquiao homer, sitting at home and listening to that turd call the fight, well, it looked different. On the math, Pacman won. For sure. But tempo and aggression counts for a shitload too and Horn was absolutely the aggressor... which is going to tilt the scales in a fight like that with a hometown factor like that.

SuitedAces21 2,721 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 horn barely hit him when he wasn't head butting like a lunatic simpleton street fighter. pac man is old and basically shot and still won easily. Link to post Share on other sites

Scrim 115 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 So why wasn't Pac declared the winner when he was absolutely the aggressor vs Mayweather? Apparently those judges valued the stats more. I'm not saying it was a good call here, but I'm also not saying that it's totally baffling given how decisions like that are apt to go. Watching from home, listening to biased Teddy Atlas who was in the bag for Manny, that fight looked one way. Sitting ringside in a judges box, watching Horn as the aggressor, listening to that crowd react to Horn as the aggressor, it's not hard to comprehend how they make a homer-decision since the fight looks very different from that vantage. The real winner was boxing itself. Mayweather/Pacquiao was such a dud, after such a build-up... This fight was shown for free, on cable, with several undercard belts, and the main card, controversy notwithstanding, was a great ****ing scrap. If boxing can get a few more cards like this in the bag- major fighters, free on either broadcast or cable, exciting fights, big enough to be a real 'event' like this one was- it's possible it (boxing) might start gaining younger eyeballs again that have been taken away by MMA. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Dude cmon, what do you mean it's not difficult to comprehend? Are we supposed to assume every judge is a total moron and can't fairly judge a fight because of crowd noise? And Atlas has nothing to do with anything. He is bad, and announcing can sway public opinion, but regardless of the announcing Pac won the fight. The guy was aggressive, so what, Pac connected more and hurt him more. Boxing won nothing. It was a good fight that was marred by corrupt judging. More people were able to watch because it wasn't a ppv and more people were able to see how dumb boxing is because 3 unbiased judges can't come even close to fairly judging a championship level fight. If every once in awhile there is an idiotic and totally confused judge, then ok. But how can all 3 judges be idiotic and totally confused? Link to post Share on other sites
