Anyone get the GGG fight? I am at a campout with barely any signal. Updates if you've got'em.

 

[NochNoch]

Nothing to report yet. Currently watching Chocolatitto slowly but surely destroy Viloria.

Slow first round, not much landed of significance. GGG wins #1 with his jab.

 

[NochNoch]

Little more action in #2 but still the same MO. 2-0 for GGG and mostly bc of a superior jab.

 

[NochNoch]

More of the same. 3-0. So far it's 2 guys respectful of each other's power but only one of them can actually box.

 

[NochNoch]

Now GGG hurts him in #4, unless Lemieux can land something big soon then this won't last too much longer.

 

[NochNoch]

Not officially over but doubt I give one more update after this one.

 

[NochNoch]

And of course I'm wrong. Still another GGG round but some actual action that round.

 

[NochNoch]

7-0

Good stoppage. Now let's hope Canello beats Cotto next month only bc I think he's more likely to actually accept a GGG fight.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Impressive. Not how I pictured it going, but same result nonetheless

 

[thebjd]

Thank you for the updates. I was going with about a ten minute load time per refresh

Agree. Cotto will ride that belt out as long as he can and would also get manhandled by GGG. He should go back down and fight Khan now that Mayweather has retired. He is a great fighter but not a true Middleweight.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Another PED failure for Tarver. Not news at all imo

Pacquiao is going to have to start taking his vitamins again if he really wants to fight Crawford

Crawford looked good tonight. I don't know if the southpaw stance will work against a true southpaw with Manny's speed and power. Crawford's defense is excellent and his length will make it tough for anyone in that division to get to him.

 

[I4Jay]

I'm not sold on Crawford yet. Gamboa midget a** gave him a lot of problems and Gamboa has several holes in his game.

I think Bud would struggle vs Manny

Check out the mid Tenn fighter Caleb Plant on NBCSN. He's starting to make some noise. Looks like he may be legit.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Foreman Moorer was 21 years ago tonight, I really enjoyed Teddy Atlas' rundown of it in his book.

 

[Toujours Pret]

This Lomachenko fight really isn't fair. He's a really good fighter, mechanical yet smooth.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Saul Rodriguez has some heavy damn hands.

 

[I4Jay]

Heavy feet too.

I hope cotto boxes circles around him.

That's Saul Alvarez.

 

[I4Jay]

Really unimpressive W for cinnamon.

He's just a big 155 lber

Doesn't move well, and definitely doesn't throw combinations.

GGG may knock his red head off his shoulders

He slipped quite a few punches, and thoroughly owned Cotto. He's not Golovkin class, but at this point nobody is.

I don't get the scorn for the guy, he's grown on me, and unless Vargas or Santa Cruz gets in a spot to lead a PPV card Canelo is going to be the Mexican cash cow for the foreseeable future.
