"#RocBoys Taking Over Philly Tonight" Williams/Matano, Ali/Vargas SHO/hbo March 5th Fight Thread

[Uncle Kendrick]

I was telling my wife that I think that was his job tonight.

nikka landed 20 punches. He didn't come to fight.

HBO should be ashamed of themselves for setting that fight up. They tried to hype us on a 40+ year fighter who was out of shape and just there for a paycheck.

[Axum Ezana]

beautiful check hook n he's been hiding it w his jab

yeah and I like that he keeps them hooks short n compact

 

[Axum Ezana]

that nikka call everybody turkey

 

[Remote]

Kind of a struggle interview, but he did call people out

 

[yawn]

Besides seeing Douglas get wrecked that Showtime card was a great watch

Douglas fight shoulda been stopped earlier and congrats to Avantil and my man Gary Stark

Harrison too one handed & chinny to be favored over anybody but his right hand is nice

J-Roc did what he had to do to get his shot @hyperman25 he's finally getting that shot

 

[HARLEM AL]

That's a terrible stoppage.

Great fight though.

I just read results on the showtime.. at Douglas getting knocked out...those euros..you just never know man..sheesh

I did watch the margarito - paez fight smh. @Newzz breh that mufukka is FINISHED...he wasn't done after Mosley but he was after Pac...there was nothing there...who is running his team needs to cash him out ASAP...ring rust isn't a factor in this fight...that's for damn sure

Also finished watching chagaev vs browne...a lot more entertaining than it had right to be...so Australia has someone who holds a "piece" of the heavyweight title and is now forced to face fres oquendo as a mandatory...that shyt is too crazy

 

[Jello Biafra]

Vargas won a fight that didn't include any hijinks and chicanery!
Shame it had to be Ali though.

As much potential as Harrison has I still don't have much faith in the dude to show and prove against anybody with talent. At least not till he runs it back with Willie Nelson.

Bummed about Antoine Douglas...hopefully he rebounds from this ass-whooping and doesn't let it derail what was looking like a promising career. He is also going to have to work on how he deals with pressure because he should have been able to keep Khurtsidze off of him a little better than he did considering the height and reach advantage Douglas had.

Ortiz did what he was supposed to do against Thompson who looked a damn mess. No wonder he kept his shirt on for the weigh-in.

J-Rock put the beats on that white boy with the hipster haircut and called out Charlo #1 like a boss. Now let's see if Charlo #1 continues to run and hide from that inevitable ass-whooping he knows he gonna get.

That big ass Australian shocked me with his comeback KO of Chagaev. Dude is tough. Wouldn't mind seeing him against some of the bigger names in the heavyweight division.

Why is Margarito still fighting?
Delgado and Juarez put on a nice little scrap on the undercard of that Margarito fight though.

stop it you bonehead PBC stans. thompson is a late replacement and the best late replacement they could get. if you guys actually followed boxing and not just broner's twitter feed you'd know that.

no matter how much trash you talk, no one really cares and you're wrong.

Basically , ain't like hbo didn't just have Ortiz vs. Jennings. Jennings better than anyone Wilder has fought too.
This was Ortiz second fight in 3 months .....it's going be hard to line up a good opponent with that kind of timing. Common fukking sense
