StillUnknown Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Matthysse is a beast too. Ajose showed a lot of heart taking all those shots from Matthysse and not getting knocked down until late. Matthysse is a beast, and probably the best at 140 in the world right now. 140 is stacked beyond recognition right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiaticSkinsFan Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 140 is stacked beyond recognition right now. I think Matthysse is the best. It should lead to some great fights over the next 18-24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tone_dubbz Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Per ESPN: Pacman vs. Marquez IV http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/8371273/manny-pacquiao-headed-fourth-showdown-juan-manuel-marquez Me personally, I would rather watch Bradley II or Cotto II. But Marquez has been giving Pac so much trouble. His footwork to keep Pac on the inside and keeping him in firing range of the right hand is whats been giving him success, a long with his counter punching obviously. Anyway, I'm still going to watch it. Just not that excited as I should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 JMM will not get a decision over Pac, and he won't knock him out. Pac/Marquez VII coming in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Should be a good nite for boxing fans. Sergio Martinez vs Julio Chavez Jr. on PPV and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Joselito Lopez on Showtime. Lots of anger and trash talking between Sergio and Jr. Can't wait for that main event. Especially after watching HBO's 24/7 and the way Jr was disrespecting Freddie Roach. Jr better bring his "A" game, because Sergio will come to fight. Alvarez at 154 lbs is fighting Lopez, a true junior welterweight (140 lbs) for the 154 lbs junior middleweight title. That's just crazy. Canelo needs to fight true fighters in his weight class and stop being pampered. Love Lopez for stepping up. He's game, but I think he will be outmatched. My wishes are for Martinez to KO Chavez in 8 and for Lopez to get a win or KO against Alvarez. Predictions: Martinez via UD over Chavez and Alvarez via TKO in 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I'll be cheering hard for Lopez, but I don't see how he wins. Canelo looks bad if it goes the distance IMO. I got Martinez by late round (T)KO. I'm almost certain Chavez will be doped up to the max, but Martinez is on a different planet compared to the fighters he's used to fighting.

DM72 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I got Chavez Jr in a late round stoppage. I have never as impressed with Martinez as everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemsSC7Skinfan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm almost certain Chavez will be doped up to the max, but Martinez is on a different planet compared to the fighters he's used to fighting. I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I'd say ever since he joined Freddie Roach it seems like he's "gained" power. He was extremely skinny during the weigh in and immediately drinking the protein shakes after the weigh in. On a side note, Showtime's fight line up tonight has been stellar thus far (into the Ponce De Leon fight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I feel Sergio is the better boxer, fighter etc....but he is near 40 and Chavez is the naturally bigger fighter. Not to mention there is no way in hell Sergio gets a decision on a close fight. A lot of experts feel that if Chavez wins this fight it will give him the credibility he has been in search of....expect shenanigans if the fight is close. Oh and Pac/Marquez 4,,,,,,Marquez deserves it no doubt, but at this point I almost ask WHY? The judges won't give Marquez a decision and Marquez won't brawl enough to go for the KO in risk of getting himself KO'd etc etc.....the only hope I have is that since Pac doesn't have that belt anymore, maybe the judges will go against him in a close decision fight? Maybe? Naaaah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiaticSkinsFan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I really dont like Chavez because he is a spoiled brat. But he will come in at 180-185 for this fight he looked sickly yesterday because he cut weight really fast. ---------- Post added September-15th-2012 at 11:17 PM ---------- that Lopez/Canelo fight could be dope too, just t see if Lopez can get Canelo into the later rounds where we know canelo will fade. Maidana/Soto Karass is my FOTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nothing as classy as a fighter who outweighs his opponent by 20 or so pounds clowning his opponent for not "hurting" him. Good on you, JCC Jr... ugh ---------- Post added September-16th-2012 at 03:48 AM ---------- JCC Jr. is getting clowned at the moment. If he wasn't so much goddamn bigger he might have been dropped once by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 If JCC Jr. doesn't make this fight more competitive quick, I think his dad is going to tear off his tux and get in the ring himself. He keeps jumping out of his seat during the rounds to chastise the trainers, haha....Yes JCC, cause I'm sure Freddie Roach doesn't know what he's talking about, mmhmm, right.

DM72 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I was wrong. Chavez is outclassed. The fight that needs to be made, but won't, is Alverez/Martinez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 JCC Jr "yea yea yeah"'s his corner off after the ninth round. Hahaha.....I mean why not, right? He's been doing soooo well up till now!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He MIGHT fight someone like Berto. PS: Harrold Lederman RIPPED JCC Jr. He praised his dad for being strong with a killer instinct while calling Jr WEAK.

AsiaticSkinsFan Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Floyd isn't about to fight Martinez. He MIGHT fight someone like Berto.. they have been negotiating over the last year.

NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wow, what a 12th round JCC Jr. woke up, fought the way he probably should have fought the entire fight, being the bigger fighter by a large margin. Sergio Martinez survives two knockdowns.....better be the winner! Sergio chose to fight his way out of trouble, could have easily duck and run in the final run to preserve a shutout. Wow.

ksun247 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 WOW!!!! Sergio got the win. Chavez finally showed some heart. Waited until the 12th round to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
