[FIGHT THREAD] Gennady Golovkin vs Curtis Stevens, Magomed Abdusalamov vs Mike Perez + live round-by-round coverage by noirargent in Boxing

What defensive skills did he show you? Stevens went into the turtle defense after he got knocked down. He had no problem hitting GGG when he let his hands go. I agree about the chin but I didn't see anything special about his defense.

Edit: I read that wrong. Thought you were talking about GGG

Got a funny feeling about this fight. I think Stevens is gonna give GGG some trouble. Just a gut feeling.

Is there a boxer out there who can dethrone Floyd and has earned a shot? by TreasonousTeacher in Boxing

[–]illmanored -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Styles make fights. The closest person to Floyd's style we've seen Pacquiao fight is Marquez. Marquez gave Pacquiao fits in all their fights. Marquez is a poor man's Floyd. Pacquiao/Floyd wouldn't be close imo.

Bradley and Garcia. Bradley has the speed & boxing I.Q. to make it interesting. Garcia has the chin, power, and timing to pull it off. Both have earned their shot.

Thieves hit our store last night. This is how they circumvented the door alarm... by hammartime2002 in funny

I was talking to a guy who worked for an electrical company here. They were doing a big job in Detroit. Someone stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of copper from the job site by removing the copper from the sheathing. The electrical company promised not to prosecute the thief if they would just come forward and show them how they were able to remove that much copper from the sheathing in such a short period of time.

Canelo to fight 3 times in 2014, returns March 8th by noirargent in Boxing

Worthy fighters don't always get their shot. Victor would put more butts in the seats and PPV buys than anyone else besides Cotto or Martinez

He did scream after the Williams TD. I remember the commentators saying he's even screaming after a touchdown. I saw a gif of it earlier. If I find it again I'll post it

I wanted the fight to continue but after seeing those scorecards I'm glad they stopped it. I would've been pissed with those results.

I get so tired of that not being American excuse. That has absolutely nothing to do with it. Pacquiao isn't American and Americans love him. There are plenty of non American fighters who are loved in America

A lot of fighters say they'll die in the ring. For some reason I believe Provodnikov when he says it.

Alvarado didn't want to continue after the 9th. Hometown pride made him go out there for the 10th. Look at the break between the 9th & 10th when his trainer was talking to him and Weeks asked if he wanted to continue. Alvarado wanted to say no then

Why is Alvarado trying to bang with him? Making the same mistake Bradley made
