Guest sith lord Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Since there was a thread on the "washed up" Tyson fight, it's only fair that we have a thread on a "real" boxing match. If nothing out of the ordinary happens (accidental headbutt/cuts), this fight has fight of the year written all over it. You have the classic boxer vs puncher match that is sure to entertain. My money's on Mayweather. I've already ordered it. Who else will be watching tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portis&taylor Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I've got mayweather too but i wont watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I had a thread about this... didnt realize you made one as well. Whoops :paranoid: Anyways i am definetly ordering it. Gatti really got my respect after fighting 3 good tough fights against ward winning 2 of them. He doesnt have any quit in him. However, i think mayweather may just be too tough. He's awful ****y though so hopefully gatti can give him a run for his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 The fight of the year already occured(Castillo-Corrales). Nothing is topping it, Floyd is too strong defensively to be involved in a fight of the year. This isn't Ivan Robinson or Mickey Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 My money is on Mayweather...He's a better boxer...But Gatti has a puncher's chance if he can connect with a few good shots...Mayweather is very good defensively and could easily make Gatti look bad...But with so much animosity between the two, Mayweather may get suckered into a brawl, which would favor Gatti...Should be a classic!!! I hope so, especially since I'm dropping $50 for the PPV. :dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(he better not mess up though Gatti is tough) I think gatti has a great chance. Its all about imposing your will in boxing. Gatti is underrated defensively. Ill be very surprised if he were to get knocked out. With that being said, if floyd lets arturo land one of his knockout blows in the later rounds then it could be lights out.

bofluid Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Originally posted by RDSKNfaithfull I will be watching and think Mayweather will put on a clinic. Yep. Gatti's only hope is to land a knockout blow. Watch Floyd's handspeed tonight guys. You won't see a faster set of hands. I'm interested in seeing Vivian Harris on the undercard too. He faces Maussa. Cotto easily disposed of him so Harris shouldn't struggle too much. Harris was calling out Mayweather at the press conference for the fight earlier this week. If both guys win we could see a unification fight later this year. Of course the money would have to be right for Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bofluid Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Heavyweight prospect Calvin Brock is fighting. Although I'm not so sure if his match will be televised. He's fighting a journeyman for the sole sake of staying busy. He probably deserves a gimme though, because he's coming off a very hard fought victory against Jameel McCline Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fights as well. He's got a bright future, but he's still very much in his developmental stage. He's certainly worth watching. You've also got Straweight champion Ivan Calderon on the card. This is one of the rare times that you get a strong undercard for a PPV. Plenty of variety and some decent prospects. EDIT: Definitely watch Vivian Harris though. He's somewhat of an unknown, but he is a titleholder in the 140 lb. class. If he wins tonight a fight against one of the big name Jr. welterweights (Cotto, Hatten, Floyd, Gatti) could be in his future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveStrongSkins Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 thanks bo for the information. Should be a good night for boxing one of these days some of the boxing fans here on extreme should get together and order a fight Hey tarhog... i see you browsing this thread. Is it possible to get a boxing forum on here or is the interest not high enough overall for boxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 my 1st time watching Chavez Jr...NOT impressed yet...but did this fight look fixed??? I'm pretty sure Galvan was supposed to be a cake walk for Jr, but he didn't throw any meaningful punches...Most of his punches were slapping punches that did no damage. Now all of sudden, Jr goes for the kill and throws punches with bad intentions especially to the head and gets the TKO...Decent win for Jr...fight should have been stopped earlier...Galvan took some serious head shots...Chavez Sr was looking P.O'ed after the 2nd round...Must be hard to live up to dad's expectations...Go Mayweather...TKO in 10!!! :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Interesting idea - we plan on a site upgrade soon - let that shake out and we'll see. We're going to take a hard look at all of the forums then. I'll keep it in mind, you know I'm a fan. Not enough to pay up tonight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 DAMN!!!! oh what a KO. Harris didn't fight a smart fight...He didn't make a lot of $$$ for tonite's bout, but he lost plenty $$$ for future bouts against the top 140 lbs fighters... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Wow, looking like a waste of a saturday night. I could have went to The Roots concerts, but nope I felt I had to see Gatti-Mayweather even though I knew damn well Mayweather would beat his ass.

ksun247 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 It's OVER!!!! Wasn't even close...Mayweather did exactly as he said he would and embarassed him...He beat Gatti like he stole something...NO contest at all. TKO in round 6...Gatti's corner threw in the towel at the end of 6. Referee probably should have stopped the fight. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksun247 Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Calderon won a 12 round decision convincingly....Verde wasn't ready for the big time yet...he was looking to KO Caulderon with big shots. But he didn't get going until he definitely needed a KO...his record prior to fight was 14-1 w/10 KO's...probably fighting scrubs to build his record...But Caulderon clearly outboxed him...When Verde landed some good body shots, Caulderon ran around the ring like De la Hoya did against Trinidad a few years ago...Vivian Harris got KO'ed in 7 by Carlos Maussa...they traded a bunch of big shots, but Harris got tired...he wouldn't even listen to Emmanuel Steward in his corner and ended up getting KO'ed in the next round...Steward told him to box, but he kept trying for the KO and ran out of gas...It was a difficult fight, but entertaining for a few...
