GrimReaper21 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 No, its bs, because Rahman quit like the dog that he is. Also, ACW, I personally wouldn't waste my money on that crap fighter Jimmy Lange. Those tickets are outrageously priced also. Instead, make the trek up to either AC for the Pavlik Hopkins fight or to NYC for the Calzaghe Jones fight. I am covering the Friday Night Fights Card at Ibiza so we'll meet up if you're attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 the cut was caused by a headbutt, overturning the decision was right decision. that being said, i truly hope neither of them ever boxes again to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am covering the Friday Night Fights Card at Ibiza so we'll meet up if you're attending.I'll most likely be going to the FNF show (BTW, it's been pushed back a week). As for AN or NYC, I'd rather spend the $30 and see it here, but whatever.BTW, I'll ask again, if a fighter usually vacates the title (Ring) when moving up in weight class, how then again is Pacman rated in 2 classes?

GrimReaper21 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 bc he didnt vacate it yet, bc he doesnt know who is fighting next, he will make a decision soon i'm sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bait Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Has anyone noticed that Margaritto and Pacman are both schedule to fight unkown opponents on Nov.15th. In addition to that....Lacy and Taylor will be fighting in a middle weight eliminator bout that night! There is no way these guys are all fighting on the same card....right? I'm thinking either and Pacman will have a coe-feature on hbo pay-per-view and the Lacy-Taylor Fight will be on showtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hmm, maybe Nov. 15 will be Margarito vs. Punisher?

Forehead Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Also, ACW, I personally wouldn't waste my money on that crap fighter Jimmy Lange. Oh come on, Jimmy isn't that bad. The cards at the Patriot Center are usually pretty entertaining. Sure, he's not exciting, jabs a ton, not much power, but he's 28-3-2 or something like that, so he can't be that bad. Live boxing is fun, and the tickets aren't that expensive. Just buy a cheap ticket, and move closer later on in the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see Margarito-Cotto 2! I'd like to see Paul Williams move up to 154 and whip Sergio Morra's ass!!!! I can't stand that guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Paul Williams move up to 154 and whip Sergio Morra's ass!!!! I can't stand that guy! if Paul moves up, it will probably be to 160. there aren't any names at 154 to get a big money fight Forrest had a rematch clause, so he's fighting Mora sometime in October or November i believe. i don't like him either.

ACW Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 If Punisher moves up, him vs. Pavlik would be interesting...Paul would have to use his longer reach. BTW, SU, cool sig. Ong-Bak is an awesome movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper21 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Forrest and Mora are fighting on Sept. 13 on the undercard of Casamayor-Marquez. Lange is not a good fighter at all, he could be 50-0, records don't mean anything, if you beat 50 scrubs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashmowf Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Also, they'll probably show the replay of the Cotto/Margarito fight. Which makes it one of the best OVERALL HBO cards in a while.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hopefully Peterson's fight will be televised after the Cotto-Margarito replay instead of going straight to the Judah-Clottey fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 HBO's got a 3hour block of coverage, i would think they would be able to show the Margarito/Cotto fight, along with the Peterson fight before the Judah/Clottey fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper21 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 They are only showing a highlight package of the Peterson fight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 They are only showing a highlight package of the Peterson fight...Oh well, better than nothing. Good night of boxing. BTW, I am going to the FNF card in two weeks EDIT: BTW, at least 4 (4 and a half?), and maybe up to 7 Beltway boxers will be on national TV this month. DEFINITE: -Paschall (tomorrow on SHO) -Gary Russell Jr. (Olympics on CNBC) -Ishmael Arvin (Aug. 15 on ESPN2) -Emmanuel Nwodo (Aug. 29 on ESPN2) MAYBE: -Peterson (tomorrow on HBO) -Seth Mitchell and Alexander Johnson (both the 15th on ESPN2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 So you guys would recommend seeing the replay of Cotto-Margarito tonight, even though I know Margarito wins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 it was a great fight, possibly fight of the year. definitely worth watching even if you know the outcome, as long as you can stand to listen to Jim Lampley's biased commentating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Paschall's still in it (watching it using picture-in-picture; Monk's speech is main). Quite flamboyant ring attire by Paschall :laugh: EDIT: Wow, Paschall got DRILLED with a punch which opened him up big time; fight had to be stopped. Paschall still wanted to continue though.
