That surprised the hell out of me too. Ward fought the first 4 rounds of that fight very tight, which is extremely strange. I think he was shook of kkkovs power until he felt it, ironically enough.
Which made Ward's ability to adapt his game plan even more impressive faced with those odds :wow:

I'm going to have to re-watch the porter and triple G fights. I recall Brook having a very good check hook and fundamentals in both fights. But wore down after 4 with triple g (understandable--weight), but I'ma need to re-watch the Porter, I recall that one being pretty damn close.

@ChocolateGiddyUp you team Brownie this month?



damn u ask like he a bandwagon?

Yeah and unlike Porter at times spence doesn't smother his offence. Brook does have some excellent counters tho

But Stevenson keeps getting that pass for 2-3 years now or what... :russ:
Fonfara was his last tough opponent and even him only became more known after the Stevenson fight not before

It's a shame cause otherwise Stevenson is an entertaining fighter and his fights are good to watch

Switch out Fonfara for Lara and we'd be talking about Canelo. :manny:

Everybody else can live off good opponents from the past, but #Superman can't :troll:

I mean if this is the only way to get the mega fight with Joe Smith, then why not. :mjlol:

Ok, replace Cotto, and we'd be talking about Canelo then.:mjlol:

Happy now :gucci:

Beefy was FNF fight status. No better than Williams, but go ahead and cook.

Son of a legend is the toughest fight dude has taken since Lara, and most nikkas still expect him to win that. :manny:

Pacquiao keeps killing off members of his casual fanbase and ruining his own PPV numbers/marketing/promotion with these statements:manny:





Pacquiao Argues Against Anti-Discrimination Law For Transgenders

By Edward Chaykovsky

On Monday, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, who is a senator back home in the Philippines, argued against a legislative proposal prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity, including a person’s manner of clothing. Senate Bill 1271 seeks to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity or expression (SOGIE).

According to GMA News, Pacquiao responded to filed bill by stating that the bible does not allow cross-dressing.

“Even in the Bible, we read that the woman should wear women’s [clothing]; and the man, for men’s wear,” Pacquiao said. “That’s what I believe.”

GMA News reports that Pacquiao said cross-dressing may be used to “commit fraud” and cited the case of Jennifer Laude, a transgender woman who was killed by US Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton in 2014.

Pemberton said he choked Laude to death after learning that she was a transgender. He was convicted later that year and sentenced to six to twelve years in a Philippines prison.

Pacquiao said Pemberton "was deceived" by Laude because she was "a guy who dressed up like a woman."


This is not the first time where Pacquiao created a frenzy of controversy over his religious beliefs.

In early 2016, Pacquiao was under heavy fire after stating that homosexuals were "worse than animals." While he apologized for the statement, there was a viral amount of backlash that forced several of his sponsors, like Nike, to drop him. Even HBO Sports, who carry Pacquiao's events, were forced to issue a statement to create distance between the network and Pacquiao's religious position.

Pacquiao created another firestorm in recent months, because of his support for a bill that would see drug pushers executed in the Phillipines. His position on that bill has reportedly made him a target for the drug kingpins that terrorize his country.


The Filipino superstar is slated to return on a date in April. The opponent in question was going to be Jeff Horn, but now Pacquiao is teasing that he could face someone else.
