The Army Boxing Thread

Overall am still not convinced that Tyson is any thing other than very ordinary.

We'll find out soon.

I beat the shit out of Audley Harrison round the back of that skip (though Audley told me afterwards he still thinks he's on his way to being the Heavyweight Champion of the world) and I can now announce that I'll be fighting Tyson Fury outside a Liddel at a date to be confirmed in the not too distant future.

I'm giving away 5 stone and 8" in height, but that doesn't seem to have deterred any of Fury's other opponents so I figured, fuck it.....

The guardian's commentary :


Marquez has won!

That was sensational - Pacquiao was looking the stronger and then in the final ten seconds of the round, pacquiao came forward only to lean straight into a huge right hand counter that send him to the canvas. Pacquiao was lying prone, face first on the canvas for quite some time...

5.52am:
Round six

There's a huge amount of blood over Marquez's face. Pacquiao is coming forward now, tasting his opportunity. That left jab of Pacman's is doing most of the damage. Right at the end of the round Marquez catches Pacquiao with a huge right and Pacquiao is down. Unable to get back up even though that shot came right at the bell. Marquez has won!

5.48am:
Round five

Pacquiao still throwing more left jabs than right. And it's one of those that finally counts: And then Marquez is down - only as far as his left glove. He takes a short standing count. Pacquiao senses victory and charges forward. Marquez looks hurt and wobbles. Pacquiao looks desperate to make his edge count, but can't land a decisive blow. And there's a cut to Marquez's nose.

Guardian unofficial score: Pacquiao 10-8 Marquez.

5.43am:
Round four

Southpaw Pacquiao lands several left jabs, but Marquez looks determined, set on his course. As Pacquiao attacks he leaves himself open to some good left jab counters from the Mexican. The pair trade shots in several little explosive bursts. Mrs Pacquiao looking anxious ringside.

Guardian unofficial score: Pacquiao 10-10 Marquez.

5.39am:
Round Three

Pacquiao moving forward trying to land his big straight lefts - some land, most don't. Marquez is responding by throwing big lefts to the body. And then a huge right from Marquez sends Pacquiao to the canvas. Huge punch. Pacquiao up swiftly but there is no doubt that he was stunned by that big punch. There's a real old scrap at the end of the round as Pacquiao comes back. But that was a dramatic moment.

Guardian unofficial score: Pacquiao 8-10 Marquez.

5.35am:
Round two

Pacquiao the first to land a decent combination. Marquez cautious but finally lands a decent bodyshot. Pacquiao also finally lands a pair of good left hand shots to Marquez's head. At the end of the round the Mexican maneouvres Pacman into the corner, but doesn't follow up. An extremely cautious start by Marquez. Do these boxers know each other too well? Is there anything either can do to surprise the other?

Guardian unofficial score: Pacquiao 10-9 Marquez.

5.31am:
Round One

The pair bouncing around, neither committing too much too early. The crowd clearly behind Marquez. Pacquiao ducking, moving his head a lot to avoid Marquez blows to the head. Pacquiao the more aggressive, but only fractionally. Certainly not a first round like the one all those years ago when they first met.

Guardian unofficial score: Pacquiao 10-10 Marquez.

That's a knockout ... Wow

[jhale667]

That's a knockout ... Wow

Yeah, total faceplant fall-and-splat after, he made no attempt to break his fall, he was OUT!

[jhale667]

Two ways to go with this: Either the Mayweather fight never happens now, OR Pac, having no lost all bargaining power, agrees to Floyd's demand he take the lesser PPV purse for said fight, which IIRC was the last stumbling block after all the testing was agreed to...

[vandeleur]

There can't be s Marquez 5 surely .
I would hope that mayweather finally happens .
if floyd just watched that he might fight him for free

[jhale667]

True, JMM just gave Floyd the blueprint of how to beat him... Mayweather could time shots like that on him all night.

[gbranton]

I don't think it happens now jhale, I sort of expect Paquiao to retire or something.

[gbranton]

Pac just isn't all there since he got busted fucking around and had his spiritual "awakening", his heart doesn't seem to be in the game anymore. I'd be surprised if he fights again or if he does it's just some sort of cupcake so he can go out with a win.
