F--- boxing

The film "Klitschko" is nothing short of fantastic.

 

It seems that Dana White is angry at Bob Arum. He starts ranting at around the 6:30 mark.

A lot of people are angry at Bob Arum at the moment: Lou DiBella, Alvin Haymon, Richard Schaefer, Floyd Mayweather, and some of Manny Pacquiao's inner circle who think a LOT of money is missing.

 

Awful, awful call in Hopkins/Dawson. How can you have a TKO if it's not a legal punch?

 

Is anyone else loving the Tournament Showtime is putting on? The Frosch fight was amazing a couple of weeks ago. It is great because there are six fighters, all with similar talent.

 

Bizarre end to the Hopkins fight. Yeah, hard to call that a TKO.

Anyone else find Hopkins' demeanor odd after he went down? Never grabbed the shoulder, never touched the shoulder, never tried moving the arm. Just pointed at the shoulder over and over and told people he couldn't continue. It may very well be legitimately injured, but the reaction seemed very strange to me.

By the way... can't believe this was on pay-per-view. Jeez.

 

It's a shame that the fight ended the way it did, but sometimes these things happen.

Hopkins has since been released from the California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles.

 

This looks like it is going to be great. I believe that it is getting its world premier in Philly this Saturday.

Joe Frazier: When the Smoke Clears

 

Oh, Kimbo Slice had his second pro boxing fight at the weekend. He won by a rather impressive looking first round KO.

It will be interesting to see how Kimbo's boxing career pans out. There are enough cans around that he can build a decent looking record. What happens after that is going to be interesting. Does he intend to give boxing a serious run? The problem is that I really do think that guys like Damon Reed and Sherman Williams would beat the ever loving shit out of Kimbo. Hell, I think Gabe Brown would beat Kimbo.

Anyway Kimbo's impressive looking KO...

 

Guess this is still the "official" boxing thread. Intros done, go time for Pacquiao-Marquez III.

 

Marquez looks pretty damn good. I don't know that he's winning this, but he's giving Pacquiao a fight.

 

Yep. If Mayweather can push the megafight back another 3 or 4 years, he's got Pacquiao.
