Crazy how Maidana gets no respect I just seen a nikka say thurman would beat him :mjlol:

On CarbonPoker. Its 1 dollar to win 6.50 if Maidana wins. They dont have a KO or UD bet.

the eye did make the difference though...the herrera fight if you remember i told nikkas that shyt wouldn't be a cakewalk for danny.when it was announced..i was adamant about it and right lol

The eye was crucial, but people also downplay the subtle lateral movement Danny was using in the 2nd half of the fight. Swift would stay out of range just enough where he could land, while making LM have to really reach an extend to hit Danny. I mean LM still caught dude with some good ones, but he could never land more than one decent punch at a time because of the distance Garcia would create. That shyt is pure basics really.

He basically did what Zab and Alexander did, but to a lesser extent. Those dudes are natural movers whereas Danny isn't, but he still knows how to get around the ring a bit.

LM is reaching Arthur Abraham levels of bytchery with all his excuses and complaining during fights. It was an even money fight going in despite the odds and I even pick LM to win a close one, but he lost fair and square. It was definitely competitive enough to warrant a rematch though. I just think LM would have a stronger case if he would have given Molina the Mike Dallas treatment like everyone expected him too. Both dudes struggled mightily in their most recent fights. I rather they both get a few good wins before they entertain the thought of a rematch, but that's just me.

I thought it was illegal to wear a beard in the ring?


Yeah, the Kimbo Slice/Rick Ross beard is illegal


Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones, Roberto Duran, Emmanuel Burton have all worn beards in fights. You just cant have one like Broner has now.

He's better than average breh.


He's 2-0 since Ariza left his camp and has won both foughts by score cards of 118-110, 119-109, and 120-108 over Rios & 116-112, 116-112 and 118-110 over Bradley


Last time Ariza was in Manny's corner, Manny was KO'd:sas2:
I think he stopped wit the drinks before ariza was officially gone,hoping he could adapt to being normal for that mayweather fight which never materialized. I liked manny prior to me believing he was on that shyt. But manny without the shakes would have never did oscar or cotto like that. Keep being naive though. I'm used to seeing and accepting shyt before others

Well, for starters he definitely handled Soto Karass a lot better than Chino did. :sas1:

I don't think it's some epic reach for Thurman to beat Maidana or at least be an even fight going in. :sas2:

Marcos knocked him out in the 8th and keith in the 9th.

Plus he knocked him out first softening him up. You nikkas like making shyt up :mjlol:

I feel you, but Maidana had to come back and score that KO whereas Thurman scored a KO after dominating dude throughout the fight. Yeah he had a shaky moment in the beginning, but Chino was having shaky rounds.

but it's all good.

Thurman seems to be the nikka to hate at the moment so :manny:
