Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.
- Thread starter Jesus Is Lord
- Start date
The only thing of interest in that weigh-in video is the appearance by The Lethal Lisp, The Most Avoided Man In Boxing, The Thurminator...Keith "One Time" Thurman as he gave an update on his shoulder, showed he has a future in the broadcast booth with the most stellar analysis of the Maidana/Mayweather fight and announcing his return to the ring later this year against the always formidable TBA.

And he is including himself in that group too. Paulie don't want none.
Its fukked up that I won't believe this is actually happening until contracts are signed and Showtime announces a fight date.
What happened to you,
?Anyone else think Maidana looked frail and weak at these weigh-ins? To me it looked like he could barely stand, and during the interview with Brian Kenny he looked like he was gonna pass out.
didn't pay attention, im sure he will be good for tomorrow.
He probably over trained if he looked like that. These things are 50/50 though because sometimes a fighter can look like crap at the weigh in but do just fine at fight night but other times not so much. We will see.

2x...and defending
Dan Rafael chat wrap 9/12:
- Doesn't think much of Kayode as a HW. The win for Ortiz was that he has a fake belt, showed some power, and keeps himself interesting to watch.
- Mayweather-Maidana hype: low key compared to other major PPV's, press conference was quiet, zero energy, undercard press conference had zero interest, casino has been quiet in the evening and plenty of available tickets. Rates the overall card as a C-.
- He thinks Paulie does a good job commentating. Liked Tarver when he was around.
- Asked how Mayweather does against SRL, Hearns, Duran, Pryor, and Benitez: Loses to SRL, Hearns and Duran are nightmares for him, and he wins vs. Pryor and Benitez.
- Asked how Pacquiao does vs the same opponents: loses to SRL, Hearns, Duran, beats Pryor and Benitez.
- Predictions on the card: Mayweather UD, Santa Cruz KO, Vazquez W12, Angulo W12, Molino KO.
- As far as he knows they are using the same gloves as last fight: the Powerlock's.
- Maidana will be champ in both divisions that Mayweather's belts are in - if he wins.
- He absolutely hates Clottey as the idea of a future Canelo opponent (sounds like Clottey is the frontrunner).
- Believes it is more likely Matthysse fights Broner than Danny Garcia. Doesn't think Garcia ever grants him a rematch (at least in the foreseeable future).
- Brook's date for December is off due to stabbing. No talks yet negotiating Brook vs. Khan.
- Likes the Molina-Soto fight. Should have good action.
- Canelo's next fight (December) won't be on PPV.
- Bute is going to be trained by Roach. Thinks Roach is the perfect trainer for Bute.
- Kirkland is out of the running to fight Canelo. He will fight on the Hopkins-Kovalev undercard. Potential opponents mentioned have been: Javier Maciel and Zauerbek Baysangurov. The rumors of fighting Rosado are not true - according to someone in Kirkland's camp.
- Gives Broner's performance last weekend a B.
- Saw Thurman last night and Thurman told him he may push his next fight off until November to give his shoulder more time.
- Khan-Lopez is a rumored fight for December.
- Believes Garcia does not fight Postol.
- HBO and Showtime actually make very little on PPV's. About 7% of the sales. They make more through subscriptions to their networks.
- Maidana's contract for the fight tomorrow says he will make $3 million. Suspects he has other revenue guarantees.
- 900k buys is not a success for tomorrow's PPV.
- Schaefer is in Las Vegas for the fight as he is close to Floyd. Still involved in a lawsuit with GB.
- Thinks Angulo will win and that MW is a good division for him.
- Now thinks it is possible Stiverne-Wilder won't happen until 2015.
- Tim Bradley likely to fight Dec. 13.
- Greatest Mexican fighter of all time: Chavez.
- Mosley vs. Marquez at 135...Mosley, easy.
- Watching on TV he scored Mayweather-JLC a draw.
- Garcia-Peterson is most likely not going to happen.
- Doesn't think Mayweather retires at 49-0.

I don't think either Floyd or Manny beats Benitez 
No way Manny beats Pryor though, Fat Dan is bugging
And I don't think Floyd retires at 49-0. I mean he might, but I think he'll come back for one final payday and try to go 50-0

lol @ khan vs. josesito lopez...shyt is a joke. how are you claiming to be a star & taking a fight vs. an avg. dude who just came off an 8-round bout on a thursday. stop it, amir. i guess it makes sense since amir ain't even a top 10 fighter in his division anymore anyway.
word that nikka was ready to faint and shyt..throwing up
