Totally forgot I saw that Cotto fight.

that was my first live fight... defintely my last, unless I'm in some kind of deluxe vip arrangement. seems like a sport for a less-knowledgeable guy like me that's better on TV, where I can see stuff slowed down.

For me a live fight is all about the atmosphere...the energy and excitement in the air....watching Vinny Pazienza fighting in R.I at the devils den in front of his hometown fans (vs greg haugen) is something ill never forget....watching Hagler fight in worcester vs Tony Sibson was an experience ill never forget...and i was in the nosebleed seats...watching Roberto Duran fight a nobody in FT.Lauderdale Fla was awesome because i was watching a living legend in person......seeing the first Ward vs Gatti was by far the best live fight ive ever witnessed....then i can watch it on tv after (dvr or dvd or youtube) and it will mean way more because i felt it...saw things you cant see on tv...like the fights in the stands during the hagler / sibson fight...it was crazy...the women that go to these fights are pretty damn hot ....you see celebrities , local and otherwise....its pretty special if the fight is in the right venue...hometown fights are by far the best for crowd energy

I went to an amateur fight night once at a local motorcycle club and it was seriously one of the craziest, funnest things I've ever been to.

Mayweather offered to fight De La Hoya.

Mayweather offered to fight De La Hoya.

sounds about right...for him

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Mentioned Berto too. I'm assuming this is just a ploy to squeeze whomever his actual Sept opponent is going to be, negotiation-wise.

He also said he would beat GGG, but we all know that's never going to happen.

 

[Kenny Powers]

If Porter is aggressive, or should I say cautiously aggressive, I think this is gonna be a hell of a fight tonight

 

[PinkydaPimp]

i saw he was up to 153.7 last night after weigh in. Anyone know what he weighs today?

Thanks. Just realized PBC is NBC and the house I'm renting has that. Caught Spence dispense with that tomato can. I am not used to boxing being on regular channels.

No BET here, not even sure it's worth recording back home.

[Ilov80s]

Gausha is pretty good, this should be quick.

 

[Ilov80s]

Grajeda is pretty good. I'm surprised how well he's done. Gausha also has no killer instinct here.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Tony weeks (refereeing the porter /broner fight} stopping Micky Ward and I from killing each other at the IBHOF last weekend ...or should i say stopping Ward from killing me haha....Weeks was awesome ...very cool

thats awesome!!

eta: if i ever met weeks id have to ask him why he is still wearing the 90s flat top with the hook part.

Broner needs to stand his ground and fight. Instead, he is running and holding.

im guessing he means the knock down

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Caught a couple of rounds of Ward and it was a snoozer. Corner threw the towel in the 9th, Smith redefined inactivity. Skip it.

yeah I was just saying "good call". seemed like immediately after you posted, he stood his ground and dropped him with a left hook.

Oh yeah...I was a bit drunk last night.

 

[otello]

I'm not sure why the ref didn't take at least one point away from Broner.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

he did. probably should have taken more though.

I must have missed it. After he didn't take one for the behind the back punch, I thought he never would.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

Shawn porters pops encounter with Broner post fight. LOL

Guess he didnt appreciate all that #### he was poppin

 

[Good Posting Judge]

GGG apparently trying to get down to 154 to make a potential Mayweather fight. Looks like GGG/Froch is dead.

Not gonna happen but

[PinkydaPimp]

Bradleys logo is awful btw.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Hell of a fight thru 4 rounds...Bradley's arguably won every round, but the last few have been very close....Its probably 2-2

 

[Ilov80s]

Fun fight so far.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

When they showed GGG i was waiting to see what Ward would say, lol

 

[Kenny Powers]

Bradleys logo is awful btw.

I kind of like it...simple but smooth

 

[Kenny Powers]

Bradley has been relentless...looks like Vargas is fighting a pitbull out there

 

[Ilov80s]

Lots of openings for Vargas to rock him, but I don't think Vargas has any more power than Bradley does.

 

[Kenny Powers]

A lot of close rounds, the 7th not being one of them, but if a judge had this 6-1 Bradley right now I wouldnt be offended

 

[BustedKnuckles]

Fun fight so far.

Bradleys seldom in a boring fight....he`s got heart ...he has a world class chin...just lacks punching power...too bad because he would beat a lot of fighters if he hit harder

 

[TripItUp]

didn't realize this was the boxing thread

 

[Ilov80s]

Vargas doesn't have the will to win this. He's just letting Bradley do whatever he wants now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Can't get my feed to load, assuming Bradley winning on the cards?

 

[PinkydaPimp]

yes, but with bradley fights its better never to assume how the scorecards will shake out.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

umm wtf?

 

[Kenny Powers]

Oh ####
