Ok, this is officially the worst year in boxing i've ever seen.
Every damn week it's something.

Sure seems like it. There is also some controversy about Chavez Jr. on not taking his drug test after his fight. Hopefully we can get some type of reform. Even with that said there are some good matchups left this year barring anyone else caught with illegal substance. Tomorrow we have Ortiz-Lopez and Soto-Matthyse which figure to be pretty entertaining fights.

 

[theBishop]

Chavez looked good tonight. He's looked good his past couple of fights.

Looks like the date vs Sergio Martinez is already set, September 15th in Vegas.

Maravilla's going to school this kid.

 

[JLG-]

WTF just happened.

Did Ortiz just quit again?

 

[Clott]

Another quit!!! wow..

This guy is unbelievable.

 

[Shearie]

I'm just following on Twitter since I wanna watch the HD version on the west coast but supposedly Ortiz had his jaw broke?

That's what they're saying.

Welp there goes the Canelo vs Ortiz fight..

Canelo just can't catch a break for that September fight.

 

[SSGMUN10000]

Wow I really didn't think Lopez would pull the upset. Stopped watching right after the fight was stopped. Yup so much for that Canelo fight. Once again Ortiz shows how mentally weak he is.

 

[Awesome]

Broken jaw is the worst, he looked completely busted, no sane person would keep on going.

Arthur Abraham fought with a busted jaw to finish one his fights.

 

[Awesome]

Arthur Abraham fought with a busted jaw to finish one his fights.

Yeah that's because he doesn't have a brain, if you get your jaw broken and still get hit you can permanently damage the whole area which would of course be hell for the rest of your life. Ortiz is smart but he unfortunately is going to be drinking through a straw for a month.

 

[Shearie]

Arthur Abraham fought with a busted jaw to finish one his fights.

Sure, but not many people, even boxers, are tough enough to fight on with a broken jaw. I think it's pretty understandable for the guy to quit under the circumstances. He did after all come back from 2 knockdowns from a roided up Berto to win that fight.

 

[Shearie]

More Twitter stupidity; some people seem to think that Ortiz quitting from a broken jaw is another atrocity to the sport of Boxing. :

 

[SSGMUN10000]

Well I guess we don't have to decide which ppv to watch on sept 15. Martinez vs Chavez is going to be a good barring some type setback.

 

[Shearie]

Read on Twitter Cotto vs. Alverez. That would be awesome!

 

[Baby Milo]

that was cray

 

[Syphon Filter]

Told you ortiz was all hype.

 

[SSGMUN10000]

Was the fight stopped or was it a KO?

 

[Diprosalic]

i could have gone to the fight for free but declined. glad i did, heavy weight boxing is such a snore fest.

 

[hoos30]

Heavyweight championship bout doesn't even get an OT on GAF lol

Dead sport.

 

[NervousXtian]

Dead sport here because it's dominated by Non-US fighters.

The Klitschko's both draw huge crowds in Europe.

Wlad just dominated then stopped him.

 

[The M.O.B]

Decent fight for Nonito, but he needs to stop loading up his shots so often and early aimed at the Head. He didn't go to the body at all.

Mathebula took about 4-5 rounds though to me.

Donaire fights to his level. If its a mediocre opponent. Ehhh.

If its something that matters, he tries.

Weird guy.

 

[jchap]

I think the HBO team was trying to pitch the fight as closer than it actually was. I had Mathebula only winning 2 or maybe 3 rounds.

Haye - Chisora starting in just over an hour. Amir Khan fight is also today, looking forward to both.

I will be watching but Haye v Chisora has all hype and no delivery written all over it.

All been set up to trumpet up the "beef" for 2 boxers just looking for a pay day.

Thanks. Will watch the highlights tomorrow. Whose tipped to win? Has to be Khan, has a lot to prove after his last fight.

 

[Gareth Bale]

He has a bit of skill as well. Chisora is just big. The heavyweight division is a joke though. Probably the reason why it breeds idiots like these two.

 

[Baby Milo]

Haye by KO

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

At least Haye is actually throwing punching this match.

[Lerozz]

Oh, it is on now ? Any streams around ?

 

[Nevasleep]

[SunhiLegend]

Good fight so far

 

[Amagon]

Some really great boxing going on. Lets go Hayes!

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Looks like the fight may actually deliver on the hype.
