Thanks for the reminder.. Main fight not on yet, right? (I see some other dudes fighting at some other similar link)

 

[Automattic]

No not yet, last undercard fight though.

 

[rares]

Got it, thanks! Will keep an eye on it as I watch the Sharks and Kings games (busy night tonight... hah!)

 

[puckhead]

don't see a UFC thread, so I'm poppin' this in here.


why would the reigning champion wear a "Dethroned" shirt to the ring?
does that seem wise? no, no it does not.

Pacquiao fight just started... 1st round about to end.

 

[rares]

Wow, how did he win that? I thought it was going to go the other way...

Good fight but not sure I agree with the outcome the judges had.

anything less an undeniable KO by Marquez, and the outcome of this fight was pre-determined the moment the May-Pac date of May 5 was announced.

even if that date is just a publicity stunt (and there are many who do), no way the boxing powers-that-be were going to take a chance and mess that up

This is why I don't follow boxing. It's a joke.

I couldn't find a bar airing the fight last night near TD Garden, but from all the scorecards and round by round blogs I was following, it clearly sounded like Marquez got way too conservative towards the end of the fight. Sounds like Manny won a good decision. I'd like to watch a replay, but I cant find a damn stream for it.

 

[rares]

Don't know of a stream but there's tons of torrents out there with lots of seeds so you'd be able to download the whole fight in a few minutes depending on how fast your Internet connection is.

And yes, spot on with the analysis... Marquez did get too conservative and it cost him.

 

[Automattic]

Should of let his nuts hang out in the 12th. (Marquez) He could of won it with that roiund, Imo.

I didn't know there was a Pac-May fight scheduled. I heard they wanted one then, but I didn't know it was a done deal. Until the contract is signed, I won't bother with any of the rumors. If I were Pac, I would tell Mayweather to go fuck himself.

 

[Automattic]

Bob Arum said the Pac/mayweather fight was a joke.

 

[maddogmark25]

Mayweather just wanted to wait until PacMan looked beatable in a fight before he would agree to a fight

Actually Mayweather said he wanted it before the Marquez fight. Marquez has always given Pac fits anyway. I figured it would be a close fight.
