Gonna watch it later , wilder proved people wrong going the distance then .

[binnie]

Wilder looked good (especially consider he broke his hand). Poised, great jab and controlled the fight.

He has things to learn - double-jab and body punching being the obvious, as well as some defensive things - but he is exciting. A Tyson Fury fight would be great, as would Chris Arreola.

What are people's thoughts on the likelihood of Mayweather-Pacquiao happening?

It's the same as anything to do with Van Halen- I'll believe it when I see it.

[vandeleur]

Ive got front row primed ... I am never gonna make the golovkin fight

[binnie]

So, Mayweather-Pacquiao is signed.

Who do you think will take it?

[Von Halen]

Mayweather would have pounded him 5 years ago, and he'll do the same May 2nd.

I think mayweather is to good at this point.
But I do see value in supporting paq due to the outrage it will cause amongst the mayweather fans on here.

How Pacquiao can beat Mayweather, according to Juan Manuel Marquez

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/441944/sports/boxing/how-pacquiao-can-beat-mayweather-according-to-juan-manuel-marquez

Juan Manuel Marquez has been in four wars with Manny Pacquiao, so he knows better than anyone what the Filipino fight icon is capable of inside the ring.

The proud Mexican champion has also fought against Floyd Mayweather, giving Marquez a unique perspective about the upcoming mega-fight on May 2 in Las Vegas.

And unlike most observers, Marquez sees Mayweather struggling with Pacquiao.

"Floyd Mayweather isn’t really used to fighting with southpaws," Marquez said on the Mexican show Golpe Y Golpe.

Marquez detailed how Pacquiao can break through Mayweather's vaunted defense.

"We know how Floyd Mayweather uses his shoulder roll, so with an orthodox fighter he can dodge many of those shots and wait for openings in his opponents than counter. Manny Pacquiao on his part has to use his speed, and lateral movement and in turn do not give Mayweather any space or minimal space to make him uncomfortable on that very stance," said Marquez.

The Mexico City native also took note what punches Pacquiao could use to bother Mayweather.

"The right hook will be key as a lefty for Manny Pacquiao. can set it up by using a left jab to the body and following it up with a hook from the outside and repeating a double hook and he can finish it off with a straight left. The repetition will be key in landing those combinations and Pacquiao has to change it up for Floyd not to adapt," said Marquez, adding that Mayweather's boxing IQ makes the brash American formidable.

"He sets traps and throws nice uppercuts from long distance, and he will use that reach advantage to do so. He will follow that up with counter rights and straight lefts from range because of that advantage." —JST, GMA News

I used to think that Mayweather would outbox Pacman for 12 rounds. Watching how Floyd struggled with Maidanna - who, like Pacman, throws punches from unusal angles - I think that the fight will be closer. I expect Floyd to be cautious and win via UD. The early 5 rounds will be close.

Golovkin vs cotto . Sounds tastey

[binnie]

Yep. Pretty sure GGG is too big and too strong for Cotto though.

Guerrero-Thurman on Saturday is a good fight. If Thurman wins he goes into the A-league.

Lot of big boxing names are coming out saying they fancy paq , a lot More than I thought would.
