Official Boxing Talk Thread

[Mexi]

then he started smiling and acting like a 5 year old at Disneyland for the 1st time
he annoyed me
"it is what it is" "learning experience"
shut up Victor



and props to Larry Merchant
he's right about Floyd. Floyd knew the next question was about Pacquiao, so instead Mayweather went off on Merchant
and then Merchant said he wishes he was 50 years younger because he would kick floyd's ass lol

i love larry merchant

 

[The Young One]

Floyd sonning Merchant was better than the fight. I can't stand that old fuck...HBO needs to get him/Emanuel off asap.

Lol at the 50 years younger line...He'd still be 50

 

[Mexi]

why?
they are great at what they do

i mean if Emanuel retired, fine
but they're better than Max Kellerman

 

[elcheato]

I could see why the boxers wouldn't like Merchant though.. He doesn't throw many softball questions out there..

 

[Mexi]

he speaks his mind
he'll say this fight sucks
this fighter sucked

so does lampley

emanuel gets lost at times lol
but i love all 3. boxing wont be the same without them



roy jones is a solid announcer, but max kellerman bugs me. he pretty much openly roots for guys

 

[elcheato]

Then ESPN shows there interview with him.

The questions:

What happened with the headbutt
Breakdown the knockout
What does this do for you going forward
What does this mean for boxing

Seriously? Who the hell wants to hear his answers to that lol

Wilbon is gonna go off on Mayweather on PTI

 

[cruzg24]

Headbutt was cheap, but I dont think Mayweathers knockout was cheap. You already apologized, walked away from it for a few seconds. What more do you want?

 

[DannyColtsBro]

After he beats Pacquiao...What's the excuse gonna be then for not giving him his due as one of the greats?

And if what he did was cheap...and ortiz did was cheap. It evens out...

He will never be a legend, ever... He's fought cupcakes.

 

[Mooche]

How do you guys not get it? Lmao. Floyd is just holding out of this Pac Man fight for more cash. The more and more time that goes by, the more and more money that gets driven by the hype up for this fight. He's running a fucking business at the end of the day, and he just made 40 million dollars of this last fight. Pac and Money will end up in the ring at some point.

 

[elcheato]

I think you mean to say, he's scared

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Headbutt was cheap, but I dont think Mayweathers knockout was cheap. You already apologized, walked away from it for a few seconds. What more do you want?

After the point was taking away the ref already call the fight back in and Ortiz wanted to be the one to hug and play psycological game and held his guard down.

[The Young One]

He will never be a legend, ever... He's fought cupcakes.

Fuck out of here...He's a first ballot HOFER

 

[Mooche]

I think you mean to say, he's scared

Yeah, he's definitely scared. I just told you what he's doing.

 

[Elite]

This picture just sums up the whole fight.

Check the ref's face.

 

[dez]

lol BC

42-0

 

[elcheato]

Tainted record

 

[dez]

Says the haters lol

I heard the boxing commision say the punches were legal

Thats what happens when you try that slick headbutt shit...

 

[elcheato]

It's not tainted because of that.. He fought a guy who had no chance but he still won't put the record on the line against Pacquiao, because he knows he'll most likely lose.

 

[dez]

I admit it sounds like he's ducking Pac-Man but its going to eventually happen.

And when it does everyone but the loser will be happy.

Until then you gotta give the man his props

 

[cruzg24]

If it was a cheapshot by Mayweather, Ortiz wouldve said something after the fight as well. But he didnt, he already gave him a hug, you dont need another hug lol.
