The Army Boxing Thread

Lmao.

Richard Sturm looks like Don King 's and Will Ferrell's love child.

Paq's whole team is drunk.

In other news, it looks like Amir Khan-Adrien Broner might be happening.

They could bill it as 'The Battle of the Gobshites'.

Corrales is a great example, so many "experts" said he would beat Floyd.

And that fight is something of a template for what I believe is going to happen to Pac - utter humiliation. Unless he lands a lucky shot, it's going to be a loooooong night for Manny.

Floyd has been very, very quiet. I'm not sure what to make of that.....

[vandeleur]

Ever since he got put on his arse in sparing

[binnie]

I'd not be surprised if that was a rumour actually started by the Floyd camp.....

[jhale667]

That he is taking this fight completely seriously. I saw an interview where he was almost disturbingly calm. No boasting, no trash-talking - almost to the point of "who are you and what have you done with Floyd Mayweather" - just quietly explaining how he plans to systematically dismantle Manny. To paraphrase "I'm not concentrating on the mistakes he makes. I'm looking at what his strengths are, and how to take those away from him."


Oh, and Floyd's current sparring partner for this fight? Zab Judah. The ONLY guy to give Floyd problems in a fight in what, the last decade? Like I said, though it's still completely within the realm of possibility, outside of that potential lucky shot - Manny is in trouble.

I believe, the only way Pac has a shot to win this fight, is if it's fixed. I fully expect that to happen. If Pac wins, it's an automatic rematch, and another $300 million on the table. I don't think anybody involved with this fight wants to leave even half that kind of money, on the table.

[TFM_Dale]

Floyd will embarrass paqfraud so bad he will retire from boxing.

[jhale667]

Thought the rematch clause was regardless of who wins... I can almost see them trying to milk it for a "trilogy", but Floyd in addition to not wanting to let his "0" go, only has one fight left (two tops) before his supposed retirement IIRC.

I think we're in agreement it has all the potential to be tiny Diego Corrales version 2.0.

[TFM_Dale]

Manny does make some fights exciting. When he can plow right through a boxer and throw punches with little worry of being countered he is a beast. This is the problem for Paqfraud though, Floyd will counter punch him into submission. I don't see this fight being close at all, Manny has to pray a haymaker lands right on the button or else he WILL be humiliated. This won't even be Floyd's toughest fight.

[Von Halen]

Let's hope Floyd cares more for the "0", than the millions.

I'm sorry, but boxing is the most corrupt sport ever.
