SE Boxing Thread (not waiting for PBF v. Pac II) - Page 472 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Great recs. I've seen the more recent era ones except Maidana, don't see a dud on there.

It's funny that you say Pac Marquez 2 was boring. Compared to this list I agree with you, so it makes sense that you leave it off. But if 1 and 3 did not happen and we weren't looking for some of the best fights in recent memory, I think it was a solid fight to watch.

I find the lighter divisions are harder to score cuz of so many clean punches and the lack of KO power turns me off (altho i think i'm gonna go see javier fortuna fight in miami, oklahoma august 2nd, love him as a prospect) whereas the heavyweight/cruiserfights are usually pretty boring unfortunately. besides martinez/williams can't remember the last entertaining fight at 160+ besides martinez/williams but i'm sure they have happened

Not necessarily slugging matches, although those are likely to be my favorite, but like gimme 5-10 awesome fights I can check out on youtube. I'm more interested in the FIGHT than the fighters or historic importance or w/e.

A lot of good fights been mentioned. Here are a few more:

Marquez vs. Vasquez I - III

Ortiz vs. Berto

Ortiz vs. Maidana

Martinez vs. Williams I

Marquez vs. Diaz I

Morales v. Barrera I (maybe II)

Morales v. Pacquiao I

Rios v. Antillon

Are you guys forgetting Pac and Marquez fought 4 times?

It's a short scrap. I consider it an appetizer or premonition of Rios-Alvarado I.

The fact that Ali v. Frazier III hasn't been mentioned is astonishing. If that doesn't make a top five list nothing will.

Looking at the Haye V Fury spats, Haye almost looks bored - like he is going through the motions to gain an easy win and easy £5m.

Given his lack of ability at HW Haye has made an absurd amount of money

He's got some real talent for sure, but it looks like there may be no spark or fear in him about this fight. Maybe he'll get complacent, which could lower the gap a bit.

Not either of the brothers' faults that the top competition is crap. Unsurprising that the best 6'6 200-240lb athletes in this country are rushing quarterbacks or slamming dunks though.

Haha yea, nice correction you're right. I actually never saw the first one. That was when they each weighed like 80lbs, right?

Man, I hope he doesn't get too caught up in this.

Is it just me or is this video pretty bad? His voice is really bad for rap in my mind, and the production value is pretty weak.

Not trying to be all "pointy elbow lol" but those girls look like busted strippers too.

Broner, focus! You could be welterweight king one day.

If that video was done by anyone else i would have thought they had deliberately made it look so bad just to take the pi$$.

The you realise it involves Broner and you get the impression he means every second of it.

I take it none of his cronies has the balls to step forward and tell him hes making a total fool of himself.
