1. I wasn't gonna get the fight this weekend, but this will be the FOTY. I don't know who's going to win, and I'm cheering for neither fighter. I just want it to be a barn burner. 2. Roy Jones will surprise everyone with a unanimous decision over Joe C. Workrate is overrated when you're in with a world class fighter and you have no power to keep him honest...Roy is way more of a hard target to hit then Bhop, and way more active! 3. Joe C doesn't need Pav to validate who he is as a fighter... 4. Neither does Mayweather need Cotto, or Margarito....Though I still want to see him square up with one of them in 09. 5. I'm dissapointed in the people who make the case for Pac fighting Oscar like it's even...Oscar would Murder him! No diss to Pac, he's just too small. but...money talks, and the fight would be HUGE!! 6. The first time David Haye fights a legit Heavy, He might be down one leg up ala my fave all time...Roy Jones(you know, the Glen Johnson KO) 7. You dudes are way too harsh on Dawson and Berto...Dawson deserved the nod over Johnson although I could not have argued any decision that night. He showed tremendous heart, and a decent chin while taking some dead on shots. Berto is still young and learning on the fly...his only weakness is his occasional laspe in Defense...he's growning though. 8. Judah and Cottley should be a great fight... 9. Kelly Pav and Bhop is a fight hard for me to analyze, so I won't. 10. Jeff Lacey is a bumb...he fights without confidence...1000 slaps did him in! 11. I'm still shitty about how the Lakers got beat in the finals. 12. Teddy Atlas is cool, he just talks with his emotions. 13. HBO is not racist at all...they are robots though...maybe even Reptilian...ha. By the way...Jim "I have a restraining order against me" lampley does get a little extra emotional when he sees kelly Pavilik. 14. Lennox Lewis is DEFINITLEY a robot! 15. Juan Mauel Lopez is the truth, and Gamboa maybe too. 16. Damn Lakers!
Quick question: What boxing fan in their right mind WOULD NOT get Saturdays fight? Lacy is a bum, not a bumb. Dawson is the truth and he beat Johnson 8-4. Clottey will beat Judah. One more question: Why the f*ck wouldn't you buy Cotto - Margarito?
LOLOLOL! Glad you got all that off your back my dude....the ppv this saturday is sure to be well worth the money so kick back relax and sip on a glass of henny and enjoy.
One, I didn't know you were a spell checker. Two, It is hard out here! ha...gas prices etc...but, I am gonna bite the bullet and buy the fight!
Zavy: One, you don't need to be a spell checker to know that it's bum, not bumb. Two, gas prices are high, I agree but Americans in general spend way too much money on car payments and things they don't really need. Enjoy the fight!
Sorry you're rattled. In regards to Saturday's fights, I see Cotto having some tough moments along the way but his boxing skills and especially his use of the jab will be his key to victory. Cotto UD12 or SD12 Margarito.
Well, since it's just you and I Zavy, how about my random thoughts? 1. Salvador Sanchez is just a joy to watch. The man was never tired, had great defense, good handspeed and a chin of granite. Check him out on youtube if you haven't seen him. 2. My favorite active fighters are Chad Dawson, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, Kelly Pavlik, James Toney, Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams. 3. James Toney would beat David Haye. 4. Pacquiao will beat De La Hoya and Hatton.
I would be shocked to see either guy knocked out. That would be simply spectacular. I see Cotto getting wobbled a couple times and maybe he will hit the deck. I definitely DO NOT see Margarito going down. You?
I like your list of faves...all are good to great fighters to me. I agree with the Toney over Haye pick, too. The Pac Mac over Oscar is a bit much, but I could see him maybe beating Hatton.
Sal EARNED that god damn head dress that's for sure! (How's that for a random response to "random thoughts?")
I was thinking the same, Cotto going down maybe, but not Margarito at all. I could see Tony getting Tko'd though.
