Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

As a fan of Trinidad going into that fight, I was the only one telling people around me "Tito's got problems in this fight".

Night of the fight happens and literally everyone in my living room

Felix Triniad vs Bernard Hopkins (KO round 12) - YouTube

and to think...BHop went on to fight another 12 years and captured titles and became oldest living Champion ever.

Brings back bad memories

My nikka Tito was still throwing Home Run left hooks as Bhop gave him that work....when Tito went down

how yall feel about Juan Manuel Marquez facing Tim Bradley in September?

Its a good fight, but honestly I would have preferred Pacquiao-Marquez V instead, with Bradley-Alvarado and Rios-Provodnikov maybe on the undercard.

how yall feel about Juan Manuel Marquez facing Tim Bradley in September?

I think it's a good fight. We'll see how durable Bradley is now coming off the Provodnikov fight. Marquez's boxing ability can carry him, but he was getting lit by Pacquiao before the KO and HE IS hitting 40 yrs old. Marquez gets hit much more than BHop to make the 40 yr old comparisons, but overall I expect a good fight.

maybe the first fight I won money on from an online sportsbook. BHop was +300 and I just didnt see anyway Tito would beat BHop. I know I was in the minority there because Tito was crushing opponents and BHop wasnt an exciting fighter nor a household name. Bernard was one of the few "men" in the ring though and such a great boxer and student of the game. Plus he had a great defense and chin. me and my brother both bet on BHop online that fight. I didnt think Tito would be able to handle a true strong MW. Joppy was good but kind of smallish.

Never forget the story about how there was a delay in BHop getting his trophy because they had already had Tito's name engraved on it.

You dont know shyt about boxing breh, you are gonna try to slug with a banger that looked 15 to 20 pounds heavier that night, why fight his fight when he dominated every single round, even the the round where Donaire got that dirty ass knockdown

You want to see to fighters swing at eachother like cavemen go watch a old Chuck Liddell ufc match, what we saw saturday was the sweet science of boxing, some shyt that cant be taught, pure talent. This shyt is exactly what's wrong with boxing Fighters is now getting slighted because the other guy couldn't hit him, is people gonna act like Rigo didnt throw and land more, not to mention almost stopping the p4p fighter and had Donaire on his bicycle holding his eye running around the ring like a fakkit in the final round




Despicable ass pactards like yourself and blind Arum dikkriders is ruining the sport, and the horrible part is Arum has the boxing media eating out of his palm, spewing his agenda, making more excuses for that bum ass hype job Donaire






So glad the rug has been pulled from under Arum and Donaire the end is near for Arum, all 3 of his cash cows took L's.

Nah breh, its obvious, YOU don't know shyt about boxing... the majority of people do wanna see boxers slug it out and knock each other out and or be overly cocky about it and show heart... Rigo is soft spoken and fights really safe... he is a beast but all Arum is saying is if you wanna be a cash cow you gotta take risks and make an exiting fight while building a fan base so a ppv can possibly be built around them.. All Arums cash cows have Ls yet they still remain cash cows.. why you think that is? Because they show heart in the ring... they can fight anytime of the year not just exploit the Cinco De Mayo holiday...

How dare you diss the Bobfather after what he's done for the sport of boxing... If anyone is ruining the spot of boxing its Maynever and Goldenbytch promotions... you got Floydie who puts himself above boxing while continuously challanging over over the hill fighters or guys significantly below his level not even p4p top 10 nikkas.. and you've got GB who've pushed Floydie and supported Floydie and his cowardly agenda while doing everything possible to sabotage their relationship with Top Rank causing boxing fans to miss out on all those great potential fights

Cunningham now +500 (up from +600 last week)
I probably need to jump in soon before even more money comes in.
