Forgot this was HBO's 1,000th fight or whatever. Just had a pretty cool highlight reel to kick things off.

To be clear, the Valdez-Tamayo undercard match is the 1,000th, not Bradley-Vargas.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

So many memories in that HBO highlight reel. I'll never forget my Grandma going nuts with us when Foreman KO'd Moorer.

 

[abuC]

Quality fight between Vargas and Bradley so far.

 

[TuXx]

Vargas is fucking trash. Tim is on another level.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Jesus Christ fucking boxing

 

[BadAss2961]

lol, Vargas still thinks he won.

 

[Lum1n3s]

The fuck is going on right now :O

 

[CopperPuppy]

Wow. This shit is embarrassing.

Vargas celebrating was sad. Let's go to the cards.

 

[TuXx]

We gotta get rid of these old ass refs

 

[BadAss2961]

Typical Bradley though. Too much heart for his own good. Gets caught.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

lol.

 

[abuC]

Jesus Christ fucking boxing

 

[Jarrod38]

Crazy shit.

 

[Avon Barksdale]

The hell?

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Rematch is going to happen now, no doubt.

 

[TuXx]

That was a hell of a right hand from Vargas though. To say Tim was leaning is an understatement.

 

[Lum1n3s]

This is getting heated...loving it!

 

[TuXx]

Top Rank is really gonna make a rematch cause of 10 seconds?

Lmao, Boxing.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Kellerman keeps calling that a 10-8 round. Does he know how fights are scored?

Great shot by Vargas but he was otherwise outclassed. No rematch necessary in my mind. Bradley's luck with controversial wins has to be frustrating.

 

[Tubie]

Honestly Vargas was going to lose anyway.

Honest mistake by the ref

 

[Ninja Scooter]

oh man that was some fuckery. I feel bad for the old man ref.

 

[jayvo]

Vargas didn't really think he could finish Bradley with 10 seconds left did he? I mean, this is the same Bradley that survived Provodnikov. And Vargas doesn't have near the power that Provodnikov has. A rematch is unnecessary.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Ugh hope no rematch pls, Bradley outboxed this dude other than the moment he got caught.

 

[Turin]

Bradley's chin and survival instincts are almost unreal. Most humans would have at least been put on their ass.

Tim's been one of my most favorite fighters since 2008. He hasn't disappointed me since.

Creed looks awesome, much better than Southpaw.

Warner Bros. film trailers have been amazing this year.

I'm siding with Arum on this one.

Fury vs Wlad set for October 24th.

Personally i think Fury is abit underrated by most people. He's a big guy but moves well, decent boxing skills, deceptively quick.

However he is doesn't have 1 punch power and fights mostly on the outside so pretty much perfect for Klitschko

Agreed. Everyone thought Chisora would give him hell in the rematch, but Fury took it up a level and produced the best performance of his career so far, winning pretty much every round in the process. If he makes another jump up and brings his A game vs Wlad, who's now 38/39, then I do give him a chance.

 

[El Topo]

[El Topo]

Fury's resume is pretty bad, but he's talented and Wlad is getting old. After Pulev and Jennings I'm not getting my hopes up just yet though. For all I know, Fury could just be the next British hypejob.

Edit:
Sorry for the double post. No idea how that happened.

 

[Turin]

Should be entertaining. Fury's not bad and Wladimir fights more aggressive against taller guys.

You read that right.



Go ahead, scan over it a few more times.



Yep.

Yep.

To make it worse, the fight kinda sucked when they were eight years younger.

Hopefully Shane is just trying to go out with a W.

Leo Santa Crus Vs Abner Mares Official on ESPN

Good fight, but this match-up lost a tremendous amount of luster in the last 2 years.

Mares was bombed out by Gonzalez, ran away from a rematch, looked flat in his fights since then, and then Gonzalez was destroyed by Garry Russell Jr. And Santa Cruz has been beyond Stagnant in that timeframe.

Again, still a good fight though.

Neither want to give Rigondeaux a fight

Thurman-Collazo tomorrow night on PBC's debut on ESPN. Always enjoy watching Thurman fight, and he really needs to smoke Collazo to continue his upward trend at WW.

Tony Harrison is on the televised undercard against Willie Nelson. Harrison is an interesting an undefeated MW, though highly untested at this point.

Collazo is a potential spoiler for anyone at 147, though I would have been much more interested if Thurman hadn't already proven he can win a fight like this against Leonard Bundu. A KO would be a great scalp for Thurman, but he is most likely going to end up with an ugly UD.

#FreeRigondeaux

 

[Cj01]

Anyone else think that if Thurman is amazing tonight he gets the call to fight Money?


I know lately his handlers having been saying bad things about One time and that its not an option, but that could be why Mayweather laid out that cryptic apology the other day, so that if does accept One time people are not saying well why did your people say No.



Thoughts?

 

[Oersted]

European Heavyweight title was surely won fast lol

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

This coverage is absolutely crap.

 

[CopperPuppy]

This coverage is absolutely crap.

Possibly PBC's biggest shortcoming since premiering earlier this year. That, and poor venue choice.

EDIT: Holy shit at that Harrison-Nelson ending.

Here we go!

THURMAN HURT!!! WOWOWOWOW

 

[CopperPuppy]

Crazy 5th for Collazo. Wow.

 

[jayvo]

Thurman got hurt there.

 

[abuC]

Thurman got hurt there.

Badly too, Collazo is such a spoiler.

 

[BadAss2961]

One Time still in some trouble. He's dancing like crazy.
