it is disgusting..its a catch 22...on his first big stage fight rigo dominated a long time P4P fighterbut didn't do it in exciting fashion....it also doesn't help he doesn't show much of a personality or much flash in the ring to capture people...rigo needs to take notes from his cuban brethren casa..grow a beard and mix in some dirty stuff with the boxing...don't be too afraid to mix it up a little (suspect chin and all )..and find some hypeman to talk his shyt if he doesn't want to do it...rigo only has but a small window of his physical prime since he turned pro so late...history, majority of the time, has never been too kind to a fighter in their 30s in the lower weight classes

He definitely needs to stop being so quiet and respectful. He needs to start acting like mayorga or have somebody in his corner that will.

I'm told @HBOboxing will air Haye vs Fury, making 9/28 a tripleheader from three sites along with Stevenson-Cloud & Chavez-Vera #boxing

Juan Manuel Marquez has once again said that he has no intention to face Manny Pacquiao for a fifth time, even though Pacquiao, trainer Freddie Roach, and promoter Bob Arum have all expressed keen interest in making that fight a reality. Marquez already turned down bigger money to face Pacquiao again this year, instead opting to face Timothy Bradley -- who also at least put off his own second fight with Manny to instead face Marquez.

"I'd rather stay with the memory of that 'lucky punch' that I connected on Pacquiao. It's about pride and honor, not money. That's why in that contest there was no championship at stake, only the WBO's Champion of The Decade belt. There are no plans [to fight after Bradley]. We'll leave this commitment first, and then see. First I want to see how I feel and if I plan continue with my career."

Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KO) really seems truly content to end the Pacquiao portion of his career with the knockout of 2012. It seems a genuinely dead issue to him. He's OK with being officially 1-2-1 and feeling that his KO proved he's the better fighter, rather than Pacquiao's two disputed victories and their draw in 2004. This may be a debate that just goes on forever. Who was better? The answer might be that neither of them were better than the other man. They may have been the most evenly matched rivals ever. There was barely anything between them in four fights. One great right hand from Marquez in the fourth fight, a few knockdowns against Marquez in the earlier fights. Their talents dovetailed beautifully. Maybe it's best we leave it there, and have the conversation forever.

the real question is how is his wife's hip going to make out.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Boxrec has broner-maidana & thurman-malignaggi

 

[patscorpio]

not bad..not bad at all....my promotion with HBO/showtime on my FIOS package expires on 9/8..if HBO is going to make tripleheaders like that then i need to renegotiate this weekend and see if they can keep giving me that 5 dollars a month extra deal for another 12 months..still think they could have put vanes-andrade somewhere and make that shyt a quadrupleheader

Good, we'll just have to wait and see...

Well, you gotta be better than not a bum to beat Tony. Like he says, he's beaten every opponent he's faced in the last decade save the best HW in the world.

By Edward Chaykovsky

Trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. says several fighters have tried to copy the fighting style of his son, Floyd Mayweather Jr. The most recent fighter to box in a Mayweather-like manner is WBA welterweight champion Adrien Broner (27-0, 24KOs). Floyd Sr. says Andre Berto attempted to copy the Mayweather style and suffered heavy consquences in the ring. The vocal trainer expects Broner to suffer the same fate when he faces a real opponent.

"Another one it's going to happen to, as soon as he gets the right man in his face, is Broner. Broner, so far, so good. He's doing it the best of anyone else that's did it. But then, also, he's had stiffs in front of him. He hasn't had no real fighter in front of him, man," Mayweather Sr. told writer David Mayo.

"When he gets somebody real in front of him, he's going to forget all about the roll. The roll won't even be there, believe me. The roll won't be there, none of that other stuff — picking off, catching, rolling — you won't see none of that."

Talks are ongoing for Broner to face Marcos Maidana on November 9th. Maidana would be the toughest and most dangerous opponent of Broner's career.
