2012-12-31 Takashi Uchiyama vs Bryan Vasquez - Video Dailymotion
This is/was the only guy really left at 130 when Broner moved up...still is unless Roman Martinez makes a statement on the 19th
Not mentioning Gamboa at 130 because I'm sure he's chasing a 135 fight with Broner next, hopefully May 4th

@SuikodenII for that worst title fights list of this year...1 and 2 are dead on..especially number 1..it was appalling letting a clearly and past prime and possibly damaged Rahman fight the "title"..dude wasn't in shape and was hurt with the first jab he took

^This is what happens when one man (under a team of elites) is controlling the game! UFC is a brand and regulates like a TV show rather than a sport/combat tournament.
If you're elite, you can get rich in MMA. Sports are a meritocracy....not everybody should be rich....you got "scrubs" in the NBA making a half a mill a year....some lawyers and doctors don't even make a half a mill per yr. I dunno.
And Zuffa's postfight bonus game is
anyway so...I don't feel sorry for them.
Any boxing this weekend on HBO and/or Showtime, guys? I miss my premium channels

The Floyd Mayweather fight against Arturo Gatti was the biggest domination I've ever watched, real time, in a championship boxing match.
I've never seen anyone getting beat as bad as Floyd did Gatti

The Build-Up...Floyd unusually calm 
The Entire Fight...fukkery ensues 
And that was a knockdown in the 2nd...
And that was a knockdown in the 2nd...
The Mini-Riot 
Highlights of the Fight
Watching this again for the first time in a long time and...Judah was incredible the first 4 rounds
Next 6 rounds he takes a beating, but man what wasted potential Zab Judah is, the man is BAD when he's on but...stamina and mental issues creep in as the fight progresses and he regresses, shame 
Floyd's ability to stay calm and keep the pressure up even though he was getting tagged is remarkable, he just stuck to his guns and banked on Judah being JudahBut I wonder...and this is just BS 'what if' talk but, if Judah was mentally stable...could Mayweather still beat him. Say what you want about the first 4 rounds, nobody gets hit on purpose. Floyd knew he should keep the pressure up, but that didn't mean get tagged with that left hand over and over.
And the fukkery...Zab going prison style in round 5, getting choked out by Roger in the corner, Floyd watching this like
, the fight actually continuing...shyt's wild 
In closing I'd also add that I do think Floyd would've stopped him had that low blow not occur
