Skelf 1,153 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 True. I think he's only fought outside of Germany 4/5 times in all his career. Might even be less times than that. Apparently Rios has failed to make weight for his fight with John Murray.4 times. Hungary twice Croatia. USA. That's why he has held the title for so long. What's going to happen with the Murray fight now if he failed to make weight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyth 3 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Rios has failed to make the weight and will be stripped of the title. Dreadfully unprofessional. Apparently the fight will still take place though providing Rios weighs a certain weight in the morning. Shambolic really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethemighty 186 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 That's my biggest worry .Well at least he got the draw and what a performance from Murray Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyth 3 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Rios v Murray goes ahead, with Murray being able to win the title. Rios has to pay Murray $20,000 from his share of the purse. Not a bad outcome for Murray, especially if Rios has pushed himself to the limit tonight trying to make the weight. Hopefully he will bring home the belt now.

Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Watched the pacman v Marquez fight tonight for the first time. IMO what a load of bollocks! Marquez wasnt robbed! Pac win! just about but win. Marquez needed a Knockout in the 11th imo. http://www.phnoy.com/2011/11/pacquiao-vs-marquez-3-full-fight-replay.htmlAll the booing were coming from Mexicans The best Marquez could of got was a draw. Manny was more aggressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some rounds were close but the judges seemed to favour Pacquiao Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelf 1,153 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think we could have a cracking couple of fights tonight, and for once I feel they have a chance of meeting expectationNot going to be watching it. The one I want to win more than anything is John Murray tonight. I'm a big fan of his and love his style as I did of Hatton aswel. Rios v Murray and Cotto Margo will be guaranteed great fights and doubt they will go the distance I'm going with my heart and saying Murray by stoppage And Margo by KO again. Can't help but think Cotto is still emotionally and physically scarred by that defeat from their first fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Rios looked awful at the weigh in apparently. He weighed in at 146lbs this morning. Limit was 147.Looking forward to the re-match between Pawel Wolak & Delvin Rodriguez. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash07 26 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I agreed with the commentary for a change, 8-1 Cotto. Frankenstein had more nimble footwork. On side note. One great upside of boxnations creation is that I don't have to listen to Jim Watt repeat himself silly for round after round. Pet hate.

PaddockLoyal 105 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 First fight something that is always overlooked is Margarito couldn't of cheated with handwraps as the Nevada state commission supplies all equipment, where as California state commission (where the Mosley fight was) allows the boxers to supply their own. I still think Cotto will win though, but never write Margarito off!I've never heard that before. Although not sure what difference that would make? As I understand it, he was adding pads that turned hard to the handwraps, rather than having special handwraps.I'm chuffed for Miguel though. I hope Margarito packs it in now.

I find Watts commentary grates on me, repeats himself over and over and over. Drives me to distraction. I can hear him droning on right now about there being "more method" and "better quality in his work". I'm not a big fan of Adam Smiths either.Long live box nation.
