Guest Edwin Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Missed the Broner fight cause I was watching Invicta 8 and the Chile vs. Mexico friendly, but I'm hearing it was a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Not a super duper fight, but it made up for the lackluster undercard. Well, the final few rounds definitely did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Another Mayweather snoozer. The amount of holding was laughable. Shitty job by Bayless tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Floyd's post-fight bill at the Hard Rock: 5 bottles of Patrone – $2,375 3 Grey Goose – $1,425 6 bottles of Ciroc – $2,850 20 bottles of Luc champagne – $11,500 1 6-liter bottle of Luc – $6,500 200 chicken wings – $600 1 fruit platter – $55 Total: $25,305. And since you're reading this here, you know he stiffed the waitress. I'm sorry, but shit like that makes my blood boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spend eleven grand on some fin ass Luc bubbly and the only food you order is chicken wings and a fruit platter. That is so ghetto. The fight was a snoozer. Amir Khan or Danny Garcia will probably be the next fighter to get bamboozled for twelve rounds. So long as Golden Boy and Top Rank still have beef with each other, Mayweather will never fight Tim Bradley who IMO has the best chance of outpointing him right now.

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Not on this fucking planet. Bradley ain't outpointing Mayweather. Dude can't even find shoes that fit him properly and hurts his leg every time out. You'd think he was wearing Under Armour cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I like Amir Khan fine but I have no idea why anyone would want to see him fight Mayweather. It seems like a forgone conclusion how that goes to me. Floyd really is a guy out of interesting opponents since he won't ever fight you-know-who.

Dude can't even find shoes that fit him properly and hurts his leg every time out. You'd think he was wearing Under Armour cleats. I said best chance. Never qualified it as a good chance. Bradley and Mayweather would burn through ten rounds waiting to counterpunch the other guy. It is a fight no one wants to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Honestly, Bradley wouldn't even make my top five. You aren't beating the best fighters in the world landing less than 25% of your punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I would be happier if he was fighting Kirkland and not Joshua Clottey, but James Kirkland is too focused on sabotaging his own career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm intrigued by the possibility of GGG handing him his ass if either of them add/cut weight. I'm not sure if Canelo has more interesting fights on HBO than he would on Showtime though. Possibly match with JMM could be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epwar Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well, Walters just made a statement in that Donaire fight. His post-fight interview was hilarious as well since he talks a mile a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I expected Walters to win but not that brutally. It's weird watching someone like Donaire who could be an offensive dynamo turn into the ultimate feast or famine fighter. Once Walters turned it into straight up trench warfare, he decimated Donaire in every way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I really hope he can get Cotto. That's a great next step for GGG. I really want him go fight Canelo since Alvarez is such a "good boy" lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Am I crazy for predicting that Bernard outpoints Kovalev tonight? Just kinda have a feeling in my gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 No. This is a very unique fight in that Kovalev is really the first real bruiser that can conceivably put Hopkins down. Maybe Tito Trinidad, but I always considered him a big hitter for junior middleweight. Yeah, William Joppy made him look like Jesus Christ at 160. But he didn't face a significant # of middleweights before retirement #1. I never considered Pavlik to be that guy either. He had a solid run up to taking the belts from Jermain, but his run WITH the belts was very mediocre much like Jermain Taylor post Taylor-Hopkins II. On the other hand, Kovalev has not faced a murderer's row of light heavyweights. The knockout win over the Black Russian was neat. Beating Campillo was decent, but we know Campillo is like 1/4 as good as he was years ago. He had some good wins, but not over anyone you would expect a good prospect at 175 to lose to. I'm not slagging him off because he easily could down 90% of the top guys who have fought at 175 since Hopkins beat Tarver. It has been a top heavy division for several years now. The one intriguing thing is the strength of schedule. Career-wise, it's Bernard Hopkins no contest. But Kovalev isn't facing 35 year old Bernard Hopkins who is about to whoop on the invincible bully Felix Trinidad for the legitimate middleweight throne. This is AARP Bernard Hopkins who is still ring saavy as ever, but many rounds he chooses just to throw paint brush punches. If this was the Hopkins that fought Pavlik in AC, I would feel very confident in my pick. But recent strength-of-schedule makes it very much a tossup. It's Bernard Hopkins fresh off a win versus Beibut "My Chief Second is Dewey Cooper" Shumenov. You need a certain level of activity to beat Kovalev, and Hopkins has not been asked to do much since his rematch with Dawson really. Taking all that into account, this is one of the toughest fights to choose a winner for in quite awhile. Logic gives both guys an advantage, yet shows how both can easily lose.
