He needs to go on a James Toney diet and get beaten into retirement by Wladamir

In a move so petty it could only happen in boxing, HBO wouldn't allow Curtis Stevens to be introduced by the nickname, "Showtime".

Stevens has been taking some vicious shots from Golovkin tonight.

Not buying. Thinking Rios will knock Manny out, though.
I'm tired of people opining that since Roach has Parkinson's he's the spawn of Gandhi and Mother Theresa. I'd like to see him get punched in the ****ing face

I don't think Roach is any sort of saint or fight whisperer but I still think Rios is a dick for pulling the **** he did before the Margarito fight making fun of Roach for having Parkinsons.

I can agree with that. That said, ifi wake up to see Manny was pulverized ill be a happy man.

Still might happen but so far Manny looks good, although he looked good for most of the JMM fight right up until he got put to sleep.

He's going to lose 9-3 to Floyd and it won't matter

Come on now, Train, you know as well as I do that fight will never happen. Unless either of them really need the money, I think that ship has sailed and the luster has worn off that "mega fight". I could see Manny agreeing to it now but I don't know why Floyd would want it now, if he ever did.

 

[NochNoch]

This should be a complete shutout across the board.

 

[NochNoch]

The fact that one judge gave two rounds to Rios is a complete joke. Ultimately it doesn't matter but you would be hard pressed to find one round for him, much less two.

I think they'll fight in September, one last payday. Manny can't fight around 147 vs a good opponent, Floyd keeps his record and they each pocket north of $30m

You think they'll both get $30m+ 4 years after they should've fought in the first place? With all that's happened

I love watching Kirkland fight.

....it's too bad that he can't stay out of jail long enough to get anything done.

The last 3 rounds were brutal. Protect your freaking fighter

Ridiculous. First two rounds were entertaining, after that it just became scary. The audio in Tapia's corner was just awful, how they didn't stop that earlier is beyond me.
