walksalone Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Last night... Oh, that and two heavyweights hugging for half a dozen rounds... Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 America no longer has any great heavyweights. That's why it's lost relevancy here. Quote Link to comment

AFhusker Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It lost it long before last night, Marquez beat Pacman in November and the second time they fought. But the one in November was just as big of a screw job as last night was. So although I agree Manny won the fight quite easily, I don't feel bad for him becasue he's been the beneficiary of the same screw job twice. 1 Quote Link to comment
WoodyHayes1951 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's the heavyweight division. All the Americans are mediocre and the klitschko's are boring. You can't tell me if we had a Holyfield v Tyson(I not II) then it wouldn't be a high rated event. Seth Mitchell who was a football player at Sparty is a really fun Heavyweight to watch though. If you're interested then checkout his fights. Quote Link to comment

NUpolo8 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It lost it long before last night, Marquez beat Pacman in November and the second time they fought. But the one in November was just as big of a screw job as last night was. So although I agree Manny won the fight quite easily, I don't feel bad for him becasue he's been the beneficiary of the same screw job twice. While I am of the opinion that Marquez indeed beat Manny last winter, it was at least close, up for debate, and followed an unwritten boxing rule: you have to beat the champ convincingly, if not knock him out. What happened last night is at best a catastrophic case of incompetence. I'd cry fix (and believe me, I'd like to) but that decision hurts everyone involved except for Bradley, and he doesn't exactly have the reputation or juice to throw a match in Vegas. Rigging a match where Bradley is champ when he's at best a sixth as big of a draw as a Floyd or Manny makes no sense. So here are the judges cards. https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/sergiomach/status/211693500457172992. How anyone, let alone two judges could give the 2nd and 5th rounds to Bradley where he was nearly put on his ass in both rounds boggles the mind. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Aslo MMA has blown up I think MMA found it's niche once boxing started to decline in this country. Not the other way around. Quote Link to comment

I had Marquez winning by one round. I don't watch much boxing because it's mostly PPV. Quote Link to comment

MLB 51 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 IMO Leonard vs. Hagler was the biggest rip-off in boxing history. Hagler clearly won that fight. Quote Link to comment
