SE Boxing Thread (not waiting for PBF v. Pac II) - Page 303 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Is anyone kinda afraid for Erik Morales this Saturday? Amazing career but something tells me he needs to hang up the gloves. There's only so many 23 year olds you can fight at the end of your career, and Danny Garcia has a ton of experience already for his age (over 100 amateur fights).

I'm more excited for the undercard (James Kirkland vs. Carlos Molina). Kirkland's fight against Alfredo Angulo was one of the best fights I've ever seen. If Kirkland doesn't go down 3 times in the first (lol) it could be a good fight.

Molina is not exactly a big puncher .... so Kirkland should have a comfortable evening i reckon.

I used to find it kind of funny how Scott Harrison always ended up in trouble. Now it's just sad.

The Castillo-Cotto undercard fight was called off for Castillo missing weight too. Dudes missing weight all over the place. MMA and Boxing.

Did anyone see the Enzo Mac fight last night? Enzo was knocked down with about a minute left of the first, the referee reaches the count of eight, Enzo gets up and then the bell rings for the end of the round. It finished 47 seconds early apparently. I've seen this kind of thing in Italy and Spain but haven't seen it before in the UK. Enzo went on to win but it should be a no-contest really.

Apparently ..one of the posters has good money and big odds on Enzo losing in the first round and was quite frankly going ape

I expect nothing less from a FW promotion ... the guy is slowly losing all his good fighters ..

Kirkland is getting **** on so far. He looks slow and lethargic. His punches just look so awkward.

It's also pretty lol that Kirkland is getting pushed/held all over the ring.

WOW. HOLY ****. What a way to get DQ'ed. Kirkland just luck boxed something crazy. Molina's coach 100000% getting fired. Ref should never be allowed to ref again. AMAZING.

So Molina gets knockdown as the bell rings. He gets up before the 10 count, but is disqualified because one of his cornerman entered the ring while the count was still going on? Terrible.
