I really don't think he had much choice with the way Porter was rushing in

He could sidestep, he could counter, you know, box his way out. He was intentionally smothering. Boring stuff.



This BKB main event between Brian Vera and Gabriel Rosado put the show main event to shame. Great fight for the promotion, Rosado surprised me with his performance, and Vera showed some heart before getting stopped.

Had it Brook by a couple of rounds but expected a hometown decision. Not Brooks biggest fan but he done well last night, Porter busy but not doing alot.

Jim Watt for Sky yet again horrendous scorecard. I do wonder if he is blind at times.

Great work by Brooks corner on that cut early too

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Sky commentators are hopeless tbh, I don't know why they have this patriotic siege mentality every time a Brit fights in America when we (UK) have had some of the most bent decisions and referees in the past decade.

My favourite was the Haye/Valuev fight when they had him down by several rounds

I like what I've seen of Steve Bunce for the most part(US guy here so I haven't seen him a lot). He has no shame in rooting for the home team but seems to keep it real more often than not.

This is the first time I've seen Kell Brook. Physically, he reminds me somewhat of Carl Froch with the build and the type of speed and power. Froch is better at most things but Kell has a better 1-2 combo. I'm impressed he kept his composure, used his physical tools and beat a top level welterweight with a limited game.

Brutal knockout on Friday night fights.

So now that the WBC has ordered that Cotto faces the winner of the GGG vs Rubio bout, i'm thinking that Cotto vacates the title... unless Rubio wins lol.

That would be a shame, because Cotto/GGG would be a great fight. Is Cotto angling for a huge payday against Canelo?

I bet he is, that's what Marquez thinks as well... (tv show where he is a co-host). In the same show they said that Canelo doesn't plan on figthing Chavez because... he has bigger things on the horizon...

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Cotto vs. Canolo is huge fight. No way he risks GGG at this stage of his career.

X power pad, Deontay Wilder vs Stiverne, that's a pretty big step up for Deontay considering all the cab drivers he's left in his wake.

Stiverne is going to expose him bad, maybe stop him in the later rounds. So, Wildturd KO2, just to piss me off.

Hahaha, I think Stiverne KO's him, but like you said, Deontay wins just to piss off boxing fans.

J'Leon Love knocked out in 3 rounds, he was always riding his luck after the Rosado and Periban fights.

Not that i'm aware of, Google doesn't return anything useful either.

I actually think gggs speed might be too much for Cotto in this stage of his career.

Found out the new theater near me will be hosting the Mayweather vs Maidana 2 deciding if I should go but the tickets are $19.

Andre Berto vs. Steve Upsher
Lucas Matthysse vs. Roberto Ortiz
Adrien Broner vs. Emmanuel Taylor


On right now (Showtime)

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Forgot about the Frampton vs Martinez fight and only caught the last round.

Going with Berto, Matthyse and Broner wins tonight.

 

[BadAss2961]

Berto still has all the same problems.

 

[abuC]

Berto still has all the same problems.

Yep, he would have been knocked out right there if Upsher was a heavier puncher.

 

[perineumlick]

Berto still has all the same problems.

He's like a house of cards; you're just waiting for the gust that will knock him down. For all of his offensive gifts, he never really seems in control of things, like he's one good exchange away from getting into trouble.

 

[BadAss2961]

Yep, he would have been knocked out right there if Upsher was a heavier puncher.

Yup... He's always in a war taking tons of damage.

He could possibly get knocked out late in this fight.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Berto. =-/

 

[abuC]

Berto. =-/

He's finished

 

[perineumlick]

Thurman would launch him out of the ring. He's done amongst the elite, though I never considered him elite status anyway.

This would be Berto.

 

[TuXx]

This outta be good. Matthysse is never in a boring fight

 

[BadAss2961]

lol, he has no argument. He waited too long to get up.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

So dumb to try and push the 10 count to the last milisecond when you've been training for months.

 

[TuXx]

Fucking refs man

 

[abuC]

Fucking refs man

That wasn't the refs fault, Ortiz spit out his mouthpiece and didn't even seem too upset. He wanted no more of what Lucas was selling.

It was razor thin, but he definitely got up before the 10 count. Ortiz was a dumbass though for taking his time

I'll beat his ass again!

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

The end of that fight was very boxing

 

[TuXx]

If the rematch happens, I'll put my money on Matthysse

 

[Ether_Snake]

It's over for tonight?

Damnit. When is the next big boxing match?

edit: Oh I see. Hey man don't lose all your energy dancing to the ring.

 

[BadAss2961]

The can-man is coming up next.

Broner's such a clown. lol

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Oh god please let Broner get KTFO

 

[BadAss2961]

Looks like Taylor's trying to win.

 

[TuXx]

It ain't looking good for Broner

 

[perineumlick]

I wonder how good Taylor's chin is, because he got the Cro-Magnon dome on deck.

 

[BadAss2961]

Taylor gave the round away at the end.

 

[TuXx]

Taylor had his ass handed to him that round

 

[perineumlick]

Taylor does not have enough of a varied attack to beat Broner in the middle of the ring. He needs to make it ugly or else he loses.

 

[BadAss2961]

Pretty close fight. Broner's letting Taylor outwork him too much.

Taylor running out of gas.

 

[BadAss2961]

I've said it before during the Maidana fight. Broner in spite of all his bullshit is a pretty tough fighter.

WOW

 

[abuC]

Wow that a finish

 

[TuXx]

Taylor had that round won
