ACW Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 That uppercut was vicious.:yes: Man, sometimes you wonder how boxers can take some of those hits. I guess they condition themselves somehow.EDIT: Norman seemed like he could've continued though...:whoknows: Oh well, nice win for the local guy (even if he did play around a little too much) :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref was justified, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Anthony Peterson's fighting tonight at 9 (his fight's probably closer to 10) on Versus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACW Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Here's something I'd like to see (well, besides having just ONE major organization :mad: ): having a pound-for-pound belt, for which anyone's eligible. See how the heavyweights do against the lighter guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manicd Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, too many classes and belts right now, but as was said, if a heavy weight, even a loser, fought a welter, it would be bad. A lot of people listen to that old cliche that size doesn't matter, but that is BS. However, the sport just blows in comparison to what I watched growing up. It seemed back then Hearns, Hagler, Duran, and Leonard were always mixing it up. We just don't see those dream fights anymore, and when they do, they stink, because it's over-hyped, over priced, and these guys just don't seem to care as much.

StillUnknown Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'd settle for that. Like every 10 pounds or so (or even more, like every 15). i like the "every 15lbs" suggestion. i would have: 125 140 155 170 185 200 200+ = heavyweight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it'd be anything to 125, 126-140...186-200? I like. From 17 weight classes to 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I also think there should be a super heavyweight division. 225+. You see some great heavyweight fights with this scenario and the huge guys would be forced to fight each other instead of fattening up on 205ers.

StillUnknown Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Peterson is usually more exciting than he was tonight. it was a good technical performance, but he should've finished that guy he was facing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Manny Pacquiao makes his debut at 135lbs tonight against David Diaz. it'll be interesting to see if his power is still there moving up in weight. also September 13th is loaded, Joel Casamayor vs. Juan Manuel Marquez & Nate Campbell vs. Joan Guzman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorresA Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Any one see the undercard of Lorenzo vs Soto? Soto dominated Lorenzo but got robbed by a disqualification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 that disqualification is one of the worst decisions i've ever seen in any sport. so far, Pacquiao has easily won the first 3 rounds of his fight manny is killing him with speed right now, Diaz looks like he's moving in slow motion by comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 its over. Pacquiao KO'd him in the 9th after beating him all fight as if Diaz offended his family. Pacquiao is pound 4 pound king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorresA Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Manny dominated Diaz. But have a lot of respect for Diaz. He got beat for 9 rounds and would not go down. 9th Round KO Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorresA Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 This is not the HBO interview.. but pretty funny (warning : Language) http://youtube.com/watch?v=9XdGCxpyu0I I guess hitting my face got him tired...

Guest sith lord Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Seems like a one sided fight. Glad I didn't order it and it should have been on HBO anyway. I will be ordering the Cotto/Margarito fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 So does anyone think Pacquiao will eventually move up to the next weight level and try and become a quintuple champ? Only 4 boxers have done that before (major titles only): Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, De la Hoya, Mayweather. De la Hoya's the only one to be a sextuple champion (major titles only).

StillUnknown Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 theres a good chance he moves up for a fight against Hatton. before saturday's fight i would've thought it was too much, but i think Pacquiao would cause some serious problems for Hatton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
