Re: BoxingI used to however, after suffering an Achillies rupture I was forced to leave my local boxing gym and just do light swimming. I will get back into it in the future when I feel my Achillies doesn't feel like it's about to break in half after every light jog around the estate.

Re: BoxingCome off it... The commentator was making it out as if Marquez won clearly, when he didn't.(Original post by jermaindefoe)
shocking decision , marquez robbed
eubank jr looks class but i hate showboating
Did he connect more punches? Yes.
Were those punches hurting pacquiao? **** no... it was quite apparent.
Marquez did perform better, but he didn't do enough to win. It should have been a draw in my opinion.
I was disappointed with both boxers' work rate though.
Edit: The post match analysis on Primetime was ****.
However, in revision of my earlier post - maybe Marquez did edge it. But I maintain that it wasn't as clear as people are making it out to be.Last edited by cocacola2; 13-11-2011 at 13:10. -

I think that Judges are generally more impressed by someone with Pac Man's style and that can cover any deficiencies that he may have
I really think after this that Floyd would beat him comprehensively unless Pac Man can get an early knockout.Last edited by Rgman27; 13-11-2011 at 14:22. -

Re: BoxingHow wrong were you...(Original post by Jingers)
Pacquiao's going to win. It's not going to be anything like the last two fights in terms of closeness. KO by Pacquiao in the 2nd half.
Was I the only one who saw the hype? I've not paid much attention to it though.
I'll download and watch tomorrow.

Re: BoxingWhile ago, started to ease back into it now (nothing much, just things like pad work) and keeping up with the weight-lifting too.(Original post by Rgman27)

Re: BoxingI was not expecting the fight to be controversial - that's the word that is being used everywhere atm - but when I read that Pacquiao had won on points, I thought oh right, he's finally put in a performance to silence the past. But it seems Juan was robbed even more this time than the previous two fights.
But Mayweather was dropping hints before that May 5th could be the date for a fight with Manny, now he's probably running to Golden Boy to make it happen. Floyd likes to see his opponents and have a glimpse of a flaw (s), and that fight will have given him huge encouragement. -

Re: BoxingTrue... I am a massive Pacquiao fan, (t-shirts and everything), but even i thought Marquez won it... Pretty close though... Marquez is Pacquiao's kryptonite, he is a puzzle Pac just cant solve...(Original post by Aky786UK)

Although Pacquiao will lose to Mayweather after that performance, its a fight that i feel has to happen after all the build up and back and forth...
& this is boxing and 1 punch can change everything....Last edited by Uber-Man; 14-11-2011 at 11:05. -

Re: BoxingIf Pacquiao & Mayweather get it on, and smash commercial records, and hopefully provide an entertainign match. That could spark the revival for boxing, just think how much hype it will get, the media coverage, the bookies, the school playgrounds/offices.
Boxing sure needs it, especially when u consider the loss of a great 1 (RIP to Smokin Jo), how great boxing and entertaining it actually was, primarily its premier division Heavyweight. Now we have two boring defensive brothers as champs, and fat guys tryna pose as a threat.
Come on Top Rank & Mayweather Promotions, get tht fight on !! -

Re: BoxingAnd the result is....
draw!
Sturm retains!
I think just deserved. I think he did the better work slightly. Murray did well, but Sturm had class when needed.
PS. I don't agree with people saying a draw is a win for Murray because it's in Germany. I honestly think Sturm won because of the class shown. Macklin was different though...Last edited by Né Stig; 02-12-2011 at 23:00. -

The Sky Sports commentators were irritating with them constantly talking about Murray as if he should have won the fight.
