yo i watched the mayweather v cotto fight again, floyd's footwork is done. He took plenty of shots and relied on hand work.

Floyd did prevail but it was no shut out!

But if you criticize Floyd in the least bit, you're a later and don't know shyt about boxing. He's been like that since Mosely. He's taken too many shots that 5 yrs ago he wouldnt have taken. He's still the best but he much more vulnerable.

as good a fight as jcc jr-martinez was...fight of the night goes to maidana-soto karass...8 brutal rounds of punch fukkery...just wow!!!! can't wait to download that shyt when i wake up

Martinez vs Beltran Jr might be the fight of the night. It should of been a draw, but Beltran lost a point in the later rounds which cost him as the score was 114-113 on 2 scorecards

LAS VEGAS -- The advisor of RING middleweight champion Sergio Martinez said the fighter received eight stitches to repair a cut over his left eye, two staples in his head and suffered from both a broken left hand and torn ligaments in his right knee following Saturday night's unanimous decision that dethroned WBC titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. before a sold out crowd of 19,186 in an HBO Pay Per View-televised clash at the Thomas and Mack Center.



not bytching about breaking his hand just shows what a fighter martinez is. could the fight have been even easier with a bit more power had he not broken it?

Cotto is not a good fight to pick and state Floyd fell off...

Yes he's fallen off a bit but Cotto would have had the same success with that jab if they fought ten years ago...It's never been a secret, due to his stance Floyd has always been vulnerable to left hands and when you have a bigger dude like Cotto who knows how to stick that jab he is going to have success with it...That's all Cotto landed on him, stiff left jabs...Every time he threw that right he was catching either air or leather...

The biggest difference I see with Floyd is with his legs, he's not moving around nearly as well as he used to and has been fighting much more flat footed...He's a lot more stationary in that pocket than he used to be and getting into more heavy exchanges...That's expected though, he's approaching 40...Those reflexes are still quick as fukk though and that's all that matters...

The Sergio fight is the only fight i want to see for Floyd...This is the only dude out there with the skills and boxing acumen to give Floyd a real test...The problem is he is too damn good and too big...I also don't think Floyd wants another fight above 150 so i doubt it ever materializes...

Martinez having that 12th round is probably the dumbest and smartest move of his career :D

He wasn't gonna fight anyone else and make that much money, now by almost getting himself knocked out he guarantees another superfight and more money

Do you really want to see a remtach though?

Only possible difference this time would be Sergio knocking that lazy cheating mothafukka out...
