Would have helped Floyd close his eye up even faster. He couldn't hit him, a ref can't help with that.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly - wasn't sure how the ref would've made Ghost do any less swinging at air...

Could a beating like that , being so schooled knock Guererro's confidence ?

Yes. If you look at Floyd's opponents, they're never the same again. Not because he physically beats them that bad, but because the gulf in class is so great. Imagine, you've been king shit in every gymn and in every fight you've ever been in, and then you're faced with a whole other level. Makes you look in the mirror.

I really hope Guerrero bucks that trend.

OK, just spoke to my friend who's into MMA, and he said he thought the ref was bought off, shouldn't have broke the clinches as soon as he did...not sure how that would've HELPED Guerrero, but kinda interesting he'd say that....?

BS. For two reasons:

a) Guerrero was coming of worse in the inside fighting (just like Ricky Hatton did)

b) Refs break clinches when the fighters stop throwing punches. If Guerrero was tied up by Floyd (which he usually was) the ref is obligated to break them.

Totally agree. Wanted other opinions, but this guy is a HUGE Pacfraud fan, so anything to belittle Floyd's accomplishments...

For anyone who missed it... check it out, probably won't be up long...

Too bad Floyd busted his hand with that HUGE right hook that staggered Guerrero or there WOULD have been a knockout... think it was in the 8th... 2:45





Now Guerrero's dad is saying Floyd ran all night... BULLSHIT. Even when he stood still his kid couldn't touch him. Rueben Guerrero also said he wants to fight Floyd Sr. - to which Sr. replied "Do you know his record? 1 and 7 and he got KNOCKED OUT 6 TIMES - He wouldn't last 2 rounds with me!"


The dads may fight for charity... Floyd Sr. will HURT him.... Rueben G needs to stop talking shit!

Here is the Wladimit fight from Saturday.



Say what you want about them, but they beat everyone who is put in front of them....

Manny Pacquiao - Brandon Rios slated for Nov 24th (in China?)

THAT is a fight. Can you say WAAAAAAAAR?

OH, that's gonna be interesting... Rios is NUTS, and WILL NOT STOP unless Pac kills him... which I'm doubting he has the power (or the will left) to do...

Got some kind of sinus ick, so stayed home and watched the Mayweather fight again, a couple of rounds twice (cool thing about having the East and West coast Showtime feeds). Didn't see anything upon review that suggested Guerrero ever had a chance after the first or second rounds. Even after Floyd effed his right hand up it was still obvious he could pick Ghost apart all night. It was obvious how outclassed Guerrero was. HE knew it. He put on a brave face, but in the corner he looked seriously discouraged and frankly terrified. No matter how much posturing he did at the bell between rounds trying to stare Floyd down, when he got back to his corner each time, HE LOOKED BEATEN. Why the F did he raise his hand after the 12th, because he got lucky and was still standing?

And Rueben G running out screaming "You said toe to toe! You said toe to toe! You said we were gonna fight toe to toe!" after the bell ending the 12th round (which you COULDN'T hear in the bar due to all the celebration) - was embarrassing. First of all "we" weren't fighting . Secondly, even when Floyd stood squarely in front of him with his hands down Robert couldn't touch him. What an idiot. I really would like to see him and Floyd Sr. box for charity just so Sr. could kick his stupid ass. Reuben G. needs to step away and let a professional train his son, because he just proved how far removed he IS from one.

Anyway, I didn't see anything watching it without a couple hundred screaming fellow fight fans in the room that suggested anything - besides Floyd actually knocking him the F out that would happen differently in a possible rematch.

Pretty sure Floyd could hop on one leg and still beat his ass, that goes for father and son.

Agreed. Not sure what all the talk is of why "Floyd should be scared of Canelo" either, especially after that lackluster I-win-unless-I-pass-out anyway performance against Austin Trout. He's like a younger Cotto with less talent.

Agreed, the only thing that will stop Floyd is age, I just hope he knows when to say when, very hard for a boxer to do.

I so wish Roy would retire and just stick to commentating on fights. Seriously fear he's going to get hurt if he keeps going.
