The Boxing thread

So, what do we predict for some of the possible matchups next year?

Mayweather v Guerrero - Mayweather unanimous points
Pacquaio v Marquez 5 - Marquez by KO?
Brook v Alexander - Brook unanimous points
Burns v Broner - Broner by KO
Froch v Kessler - Froch on points
Froch v Ward - Ward unanimous points

Would love to see Mayweather v Alvarez & and fight from Brook, Khan & Bradley late next year.

I agree with your Mayweather/Broner/Ward predictions, I think all the others could go either way.

Alexander is a massive step up in class for Brook.

I rate Kel highly but fighting in Alexanders back yard Kel needs to win by KO to get the decision. Alexander is a winable fight but for Kel if he preforms well in the US it will open up big fights for him both in the US and UK I would love him to win the title and then see what fights are out there. It could well be a all British fight with Khan for a World title and thats what boxing in the UK and World need a pick em fights.

As for the fights mentioned it wouldnt shock me if Kessler beat Froch I think after the weekend gone Kessler is back. I would even fancy Kessler beating Ward if they were to fight. Hell the 2 will have to meet again sooner rather than later in my opinion.

Kiko v Frampton tickets on sale now for Belfast this Feb I wonder if Kiko will pull out again like he has already done in the past. Thinking of going up to this fight if I get the money up for it.

Anyone know what channel Brian Rose is on.

Can't for the life of me find out where it is?

Its on Loaded TV on Sky channel 200 as far as I am aware.

Also ESPN UK are showing live boxing tonight Lee Haskins v Stephane Jamoye for the EBU Bantamweight title at 10 pm tonight.

The Haskins fight was a classic toe to toe fight with him losing by KO. Jamoye was class with a good chin.

Nonito Donaire also fought tonight:

I'm sure most of you guys are watching the Khan undercard but Nonito Donaire also fought tonight and put on a brilliant performance against Jorge Arce with a 3rd round KO.
 
Khan V Mollina

Impressed by Khan's speed (as always) but Mollina didn't really offer much in return, when he did he he was catching Khan (without any real power). It will be interesting if he takes the Danny Garcia rematch. Jim Watt commentary was bordering on ridiculous, I know they like to get behind the home fighter but Jesus.
 
Donaire with another awesome KO

Khan looked quite good, although Molina had little

Deontay Wilder would get wrecked by David Price.

Alfredo Angulo was terrible. Don't know what Virgil Hunter is trying to do with him.

And i hate Danny Garcia and his Dad. Good night of boxing.

Garcia himself annoys me, you can just tell he thinks he's big time. He could fight Khan 10 times and the only chance he'd have of winning is a punchers one, nothing more. He was getting schooled in their fight till he landed the big shot.

But his dad makes me laugh tbh. Think he plays up to his persona a bit and it seems to work. Everyone Garcia fights seems to get wound up by him. Zab Judah kicked off with him a couple of weeks at their press conference.
 
Garcia's dad's a ****. I saw one show where he said he'd beaten cancer. One would expect a man who's beaten a serious illness to have more dignity and generosity of spirit.

Khan was a class above Molina but he wasn't a class above Garcia. His speed might be a class above but his balance, his footwork, his ringcraft and his weight of shot aren't

Garcia found it hard to accustom himself to Khan's speed but only for a couple of rounds. He didn't just land one lucky punch, he knocked Khan down three or four times. Khan might be a favourite in a rematch but not much of one.

Agree with every word of this.

Khan won every second of every round till he got caught with the first big shot, at the end of the 3rd round I think?

After that he never got his legs back, which is why he was knocked down a couple more times. The damage was done with that 1 shot.

Khan definitely doesn't help himself though when he wants to get into a war if he gets hurt rather than holding on.

He's chinny. Always has been, always will be.
Even glorified featherweights and washed up has-beens like Gomez put him on his arse earlier in his career. I can't believe anybody would expect his punch resistance to be better against a superior class of fighter

Do you disagree with anything I've said regarding him dominating that fight till the knockdown and/or Garcia's only chance against him being a punchers one?

I never said he wasn't glass chinned.
