Boxing 2012

[Dr Nowt]

Looked like he was a weight division above, same as Froch with Bute and Mack.

 

What an epic him and Kessler promises to be. Again.

[BCM]

What a cracking fight this is on the pacquiao undercard.

 

Gamboa v Farena

Gamboa v Farena

 

Great isn't it? Gamboa looks pretty ace

[Kevin D]

That's why people, myself included, were furious when he fucked off the Rios fight in April; it could have been special.

[Guest ShoePiss]

This is a brilliant fight

[moof]

This Pacquiao - Marquez fight is fucking brilliant.

[RoboRiise]

I'm liking this.

[Guest ShoePiss]

holy shit!!!!

[moof]

Holy fucking shit.

 

 

Edit: Great minds, I guess mr piss. Twice in a row is some coincidence.

[Guest ShoePiss]

shit hope manny is ok, out cold.

[RoboRiise]

Fuck me, Manny out cold! Didn't see that one coming, neither did he.

 

Edit: Just seen the replay; Manny just strolled onto it but fuck me, I'm 6'2 and 15 stone and that would have put me out for a week.

[Guest ShoePiss]

over hand right again, Manny was destroying him just before that.

[BCM]

Wow

[Remmie]

Wished I could have seen this was watching online commentary expecting a blood stoppage on Marquez then he wins by KO. Amazing scenes. Pretty much ends Mayweathers career in a funny way. I guess there is Alverez or Martinez but I don't see Floyd financially motivated enough for those fights.

[moof]

Can't wait for Pac - Marquez 5

[Kevin D]

Stunned. Greatest sport in the world.

[ThewaytoRome]

Made up for Marquez but felt for manny at the end sad scenes

Never nice to see an all time great go out on his shield like that

Hopefully he calls it a day

I know he has been stopped when he was a young flyweight but I have never seen him hurt properly before nevermind knocked cold

[Guest ShoePiss]

Holy fucking shit.

I know haha, just noticed that.

[Kevin D]

[moof]

Devestating. He was well on top by that point as well. Hope he fights on, he has loads more to give the sport. Though I guess we can all give up any hope of seeing him and Mayweather going at it.

[Remmie]

There is no one in the world in Mayweather's league, an all time great and easily the best of this era by some distance. Sorry to talk about him when others fought tonight but I feel it just underlines the gulf in class

[razor]

Gutted for Manny. But at the same time delighted for Marquez.

 

Both true warriors. It was toe to toe.

 

Considering Marquez had a broken nose and his eye was closing over, that was an all or nothing punch.

 

Watching that gif, just wondering at what split second point Manny knew the punch was there and knew it was over. Can't believe he left himself open.

 

Call it a day, lad. A true great in my eyes.

Spot on and correct Remmie.

That's what made the whole thing so remarkable, Manny had looked very good up to that point, he looked like the guy who had torn through so many weight divisions and world class fighters, then wham. 6am and I was screaming like a lunatic, I can expect some shit in my letter box from my neighbours when I wake up, but I can't remember ever seeing anything as dramatic as that. Pacquaio is one of the greatest fighters of all time, has a world-class, battle tested chin and he was knocked clean out.

 

As I said, initially, stunning. I'm definitely going to watch it again when I wake up.
