I appreciate a good banter like Malignaggi-Broner but this is great to see. Sportsmanship is a dying thing.
I honestly don't think Rios is capable of timing and placing a punch as perfectly as Marquez did in their last fight...if that's what you're referring to.
You guys are idiots. A lot of the hype that fighters do pre-fight is understood by the fighters to be a show. If you can talk trash more people watch you, which means the networks/promoters are willing to give you more money... How old are you guys? If you want trash talking watch WWE. Any true boxing fan wouldn't care what they said before, they would care about THE BOXING. The fight itself. Not the drama over who is banging whos girl or w/e.
Rios is happy because this fight will set him and his family up for life. I would be offering to carry Manny's airport luggage if I was in the same position.
This^. In a lot of the far East manners and decorum are highly respected. They're trying to sell to the far East and especially trying to break into the Chinese market. The kinda trash talk and aggression that sells here would go down like a lead fukkin' balloon. Gotta love the sanitised rappin' tho, y'know to add that authentic western cultural frisson...
Bull**** that Paquaio carried Margarito Manny said after the fight that Tony hit him harder than any fighter had previously. Plus Manny went straight to hospital for treatment on the injuries Tony put on him. Sure Manny is gonna prolong a fight when his ribs are being battered like that.???? Oh & Btw please use Tony Margarito 's real name , show him some respect. After all he scared your idol Floyd shitless. Floyd wanted none of Tony lol If you want to try insulting a PROVEN cheat Try Shane Mosely, Vitali Klitschko, Roy Jones jr All 3 have been PROVEN to have used illegal PEDs atsch
An elected official that believes in magic and immortality is definitely something to hate or at least worry about. Dude is either ******ed or insane.
I remember the tour promoting Paulie Ayala-Johnny Tapia I. Johnny & Paulie had a great time doing it became great friends . They both had immense respect for each other too. I heard people saying " These two like each other too much to hurt each other" lol That fight was made Fight of the year by Ring magazine, while Ring was still a believable publication & not a GBP mouthpiece. Paulie also earned Fighter of the Year. If Manny still has the fire he'll shut Rios mouth pretty easy. Though I wonder if Manny will take it easy & not look good ? That way he may tempt gun shy Floyd into a fight. If he looks too good & demolishes Rios easy FRloyd will take to the hills again for sure LOL
I often think back to this being a sport with gentlemen respect and I see it with these two guys. True, it can be fun when they trash talk but as noted when the bell rings the **** is serious and some heads will roll:rofl Does Brandon have a chance? He sure has the size in this fight:smoke
Concreto was almost taken out in the fourth round against Pacquiao and was ready to be finished from rounds 9-12. Pacquiao CLEARLY carried him and kept him in there which resulted in a half blind battered and forced to retire Concreto. Sure, Mayweather was so petrified of this cheating joke, who's biggest win at the time was Andrew "Six Heads Zero Chins" Lewis, that he had to move up to fight DLH at 154. Believe whatever helps you sleep at night, I'll stick with reality. Were Klitschko, Mosley and RJJ suspended as professional boxers for cheating?
They are acting like professionals, that's what people in that part of the world appreciate. Acting desperate to sell tickets overseas would make them both look foolish.
