The initial left hook exchange in the first round of Garcia-Matthysse will say a lot in how that fight plays out.

I could watch it for free but it'd be a disservice as a boxing head if I don't pay for a PPV or go to a live event once in a while lol. lucky you're getting to watch that fight live..i know my breh @TheLukieBaby also does what you do too.
exactly...plus im at the point of my life where its not going to kill me financially to do so....there is bullshyt in boxing today but there are also fighters and fights out there that need the proper support...and paying for a card like Floyd-canelo could shift how future PPV boxing events are planned
broner maidana will be an important fight for the world of boxing because its going to showcase the supremacy of the modern use of the shoulder roll defense, which is a lot different from the old traditional version, or the weakness of it. this will be a go to fight for people either trying to learn how to use this defense or how to beat it forever because the style of argentinian fighters is built around the right hand and the shoulder roll is based on taking away the right hand. the last time that the modern shoulder roll style encountered the argentinian style was carlos baldomir vs floyd mayweather jr in 2006
due to the right hand pressure of the argentinian style floyd mayweather had to use his legs and fight the most out of character fight of his entire career to compensate for his inability to solve the right hand "but he's awkward though" was a statement mayweather was seen repeating in numerous round breaks to his corner that night
we will see a repeat of these problems in broner vs maidana. one key point is that broner does not or can not use his legs so he must stand and trade with maidana. this is why i think it will be a critical fight in how history and boxers view the effectiveness of the modern shoulder roll style, which is starting to gain more and more popularity, forever

Best/Worst Case Scenario (depending on who you ask) What happens to Garcia if he loses? Although he is the champion, it appears that Showtime/Golden Boy is more interested in making Matthysse a star.Funnily enough, I wouldn't even be mad
It's more important for Danny to hurt Matthysse early on. Put some doubt in his mind.
No it's not Danny showed he could box and stick a strategy for 12 rounds numerous times. The last time LM power failed him and he went to distance he took 2 l's vs 2 gatekeepers......Funnily enough, I wouldn't even be mad

devon isn't shyt but he's not a gatekeeper...zab though
...but I personally haven't seen anything that makes me think golden boy/showtime is showing any direct favoritism towards Garcia or Matthysse so far but most assuredly whoever wins that fight will get that treatment

I know one thing, I just want Mauro's ole screamin MMA ass off the desk.devon isn't shyt but he's not a gatekeeper...zab though
oh yeah but its been at least 10 years since anyone has put on a stacked card from top to bottom card on PPV..prolly the closest thing to it something like that was last year was when Martinez-jcc jr was on HBO ppv and canelo-lopez was on reg showtime on the same day
In totally unrelated boxing news, did we ever get the clear diagnosis for Alfredo Angulo when he got jacked up fighting Lara? Was it the orbital bone or nah?

Los Angeles, CA - "I want to thank all of my fans for their support in the wake of my eye injury this past weekend. I have undergone various medical examinations which I am glad to report revealed no broken bones. California State Athletic Commission physician Dr. Pearlman Hicks has informed me that I only suffered a contusion and my eye specialist thankfully sees no permanent injury to my eye.
I want to thank all of you for the love and support you have given me the past few days. I would also like to congratulate Erislandy Lara on a great fight. I'm sad that I disappointed all my fans by not giving them an "El Perro" victory as I truly believe I was on the verge of knocking Lara down for the third time and winning the fight. The sharp pain of his thumb in my eye caused me to turn my back out of reflex and I could not see out of my left eye. I accept the decision made by the referee to stop the fight and look forward to getting back in the ring in the future. I will be back to give you a better show in my next fight."
he erred on the side of caution..can't fault him for that..that eye swelled up ASAP with those last punches..didn't want to see another margarito situation
