Elsalvajeloco Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nothing yet, but Top Rank usually put on crappy PPV undercards. The Floyd/TMT ones aren't much better. The problem is most of the quality Haymon fighters are already booked. So I expect somebody like Leo Santa Cruz occupying one of the 3 prized undercard spots against a jobber. About that.... Leo Santa Cruz will be on the card ....against.....*drumroll*.....Alexis Santiago. They didn't even get a jobber in the same weight class. At least Zsolt Bedak, who was rumored before Santiago, was a super bantamweight. Santiago fights at 118. This will be up there with the DLH-Pacquiao undercard as the worst undercard of all time. I can't imagine the third and final undercard bout will be anything good as there are only two weeks left until the actual event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyMax46 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Chavez Jr. dumb dick jabroni now and forever. Seriously though. Who wasn't expecting him to get exposed? I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Steve Carp @stevecarprj 47m The judges for Mayweather-Pacquiao: Burt Clements and Dave Moretti of Las Vegas and Glenn Feldman of Connecticut. The referee will be Kenny Bayless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Good pick for ref. Bayless is one of my favorites. Just makes me super happy Joe Cortez isn't around anymore, because you know he would have gotten it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 I know people are kinda unhappy because they feel Bayless may be more biased toward Floyd. However, he has worked a lot if not most of Pacquiao and Mayweather's recent fights in LV. I would be more worried about the judges than the referee. You can get around the referee and make him have little bearing on the actual fight. You can beat someone up for twelve rounds and still somehow be three or four points down on a final scorecard. It's happened numerous times and well documented in Nevada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Talking about reactions to fights, I'm not into boxing as I am MMA but still I was so into Marquez vs. Pacquiao IV. I woke up the house with my reaction to THAT KTFO. My favourite boxing fight ever by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I've seen him do some things in Mayweather fights that drove me nuts, but I never felt like he was favoring Floyd, I just thought he was doing a bad job referreeing that night. With that said, he's legit one of the best refs out there. There won't be a questionable stoppage with him or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go back to more obscure Vegas title fights like Cristian Mijares vs. Jose Navarro on the Pavlik-Taylor II undercard. Cristian Mijares soundly beats Navarro and wins a split only because one judge (Doug Tucker) gave his opponent ALL the rounds. After that, anything is possible.

RandomAct Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think we should all be thankful that this fight didn't take place at Cowboy Stadium, because the idea of Texas judges getting ahold of this fight is horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You know the HBO commentators were getting bored when they started suggesting that a 117-110 Klitschko decision was close enough for a rematch Jennings had an approach that didn't get him knocked out. It also didn't knock out Klitschko or get any points for style. So he didn't do much but he didn't get knocked out. Also the Hayden reaction shots were gold.

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Guys are so scared of that one big salvo that they fight defensively for at least the first three rounds. If you're gonna automatically concede the first quarter of the fight, why even take the fight besides money? It's just so peculiar to watch now. Is no one watching Wladimir fights from the last seven years or so? Or is that the reason why they choose to fight this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Honestly, I thought Jennings looked pretty good. A friend of mine asked if Jennings was shutting down the Wladimir right hand, then Wlad all but confirmed he did. Got inside with some good body work. He honestly did better than anyone else has in years. Rematch? Nah, cuz the scores were accurate, but Jennings has a future I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't know if I would say looked good. I know it isn't his fault at all that the networks and writers crafted the "Next Great American HW" narrative even though he never beat a really good heavyweight. Plus, I wasn't expecting him to do much against Wlad anyway. However, I don't think making Wlad uncomfortable in spots really adds to your performance at this point. I mean Haye did that to Wlad in their fight if you remember, and no one really talked up his performance. If he would have come in from the outset and worked to the body before transitioning to the head, then I would say there was a method to the madness. As is, he gave him a really tough sparring session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I like how everyone swears that Floyd Mayweather fights aren't worth the money, when he is by far the biggest pay-per-view draw of all time. His fight with Saul Alvarez grossed $150 million, the biggest non-Floyd PPV is $112 million. He's going to have the top three biggest PPVs of all-time and all of them are at least $25 million more than #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 All of this talk of disappointing fights bothers me. Mayweather is an undefeated fighter, so he's not going to mess with the formula that has gotten him win after win. It is up to the challenger to bring the fight and win the title and Pac-Man did not get the job done. I don't know why everyone expected Money to do anything different other than follow his blueprint to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
