Boxing and MMA

I like Mayweathers confidence and I'm a fan, he talks shit but backs it up. I believe he'll back it up once again and like he says, he wont dance, he'll stand and fight. Ortiz is a lump of wood, some cringe worthy shit in there, but I think he can catch and stun floyd before getting stopped. Looking forward to this.

I don't mind him being cocky or arrogant, that's just part and parcel of selling fights. It was his attempt to spin himself as an all-American nice guy family man in hope that the public might overlook his domestic violence charges that bothered me. And his back-tracking over the steroid accusations now Pacquiao has started to look beatable.

I also despise his obsession with his '0' which has resulted in him not being involved in an entertaining fight since god knows when. It always amuses me when he looks genuinely dumb-founded when the American public boo him at his own fights.

Technically speaking, he might well be the greatest boxer ever, but there is no denying the guy is a first rate knob-jockey.

Will do.

Looks like the Donaire date will go ahead but still no confirmation of the opponent (the options don't sound anything special).

Tyson Fury date is looking dodgy, there is now talk of a match up with Fraudley at a later date. :lol:

Agbeko v Mares

Just watched this fight, and have to say that is probably the worst display of refereeing I've seen in any sport!

He must of let about 15 low blows pass, including giving a 10 count for something that was a clear low blow.

That was something else, Agbeko should have been going berserk long before the Knockdown/low blow, even the first knockdown was dubious.

Donaire destroys Mares inside 5.

Inactivity is a big problem with this guy, one of the most talented I've seen in years. Continually makes poor out of ring decisions which haunt him. He's one of those daft dudes that let the wife get involved.

I think it's time they closed the heavyweight division down.

It's getting worse by the minute

Kimbo slice had his first pro fight last night with a round 1 KO

He barely touched the guy too

It's a joke division now full of bums that would be cannon fodder for guys from yrs gone by

I will be paying but I have to agree that PPV has done more harm than good to boxing. Marginalise, an already niche sport, further and at the same time pay the top dogs enough candy so that they only need to fight twice yearly, are two of the main reasons IMO.

It's not dead though, infact I love it, but it could be so much better.
