May Day: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Robert Guerrero RBR

Doubt it Khan will be fasting then for Eid

 

I had it 9 rounds to 3 for Mayweather. I gave Guerrero 7, 9, and 12, but that's it.

If Mayweather hurt his hand as he claimed, it was likely in the 8th, which was the only round in which he hurt Guerrero. After that, he seemed to be coasting and cautious. It is also possible that he got a bit tired.

Referee Robert Byrd allowed Floyd to hold way too much without hard warnings or points off, and when Guerrero was working the free hand, instead of allowing them to work free and allow Guerrero to continue working, Byrd would break them, giving Floyd exactly what he wanted - a break in the action without having to fight on the inside, and a time out with his grabbing. The break then forced Guerrero to have to work his way back in and allowed Floyd to do his outside thing again. Not saying Guerrero would have won, but I think it would have been a bit more competitive and interesting fight for the fans if Byrd either did not get involved at all, or forced Floyd to stop clinching. Instead, it was pretty much a one-sided outside cautious boxing exhibition by Floyd.

 

Think about it from GBP's perspective. Khan is a walking liability at this point in terms of being able to win. His chin has gone to **** and his power is waning. What better time to cash out on him than when he's had back to back wins, and when both guys won't be preoccupied. Assuming a September or October fight date that would still leave plenty of time for a May 5 card involving Mayweather in 2014. And in 2014, you'll probably have Ortiz's dumb ass winning again, maybe Bradley or JMM would be skipping out of Top Rank. Also at that point Malignaggi-Broner would be complete. Depending on if Malignaggi wins or Broner wins, there's another fight.

Simply put the timing makes sense from GBP's perspective. From Mayweather's perspective, this gives him another High Profile fight with some brand extension in the UK(which he's reportedly wanted for years). And Khan get's a big boy payday which won't effect his future earnings negatively, compared to if he got starched against a Prescott again. All 3 corners of the triangle are happy, meaning the fight will most likely happen. Unless something odd, like Pacquiao winning a fight this summer and then being ready for one this winter and Bob Arum stopping his BS.

 

You forgot baldomir,mosley,mitchell,corley and odlh

 

Were they boo-ing at the 'Ghost'? At least Hatton went for it and got check hooked. The ghosts game plan was poor, his wife is ugly, his dads an idiot, hes got some deluded Jesus compex, he thought he inspired people by losing? Disgrace.

 

was thinking the same thing

anyway. mares v pdl was the better fight.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I don't care what y'all say, Floyd looked great tonight. Arguably his best performance since 2009 against Marquez. I feel like he could have done more, but he didn't rested against the ropes and fought a very discipline fight.


Floyd Sr > Roger

 

:rofl

 

Mayweathers just that good

 

People talk about Broner being a Floyd imitation but no one mentions Canelo nasty rendition. Bring it on.

 

It takes a lot out of you, fasting and the daily hourly praying. He would need 3 months recovery time. Khan publically said his next fight is in December. He's getting married to that hoe too.

 

**** fight like. No real winner there.

 

:shock: Good **** though


.....but 3,112?? :shock::shock: Holy Hell!

it did seem like this one was way up there (props to the server p) she hung in with some HEAVY traffic)
