Watched that Fight Game with Jim Lampley show...at one point, he and RJJ acted-out some boxing scenarios...Jim did not look like he knew how to box in the least. His weighting didn't look right and his hands were really tight. :? Disappointing.

Those who can fight. Those who can't...talk about it on message boards. :lol:

KO of the year?

Good for Kessler. It's nice to see him bounce back after his near career ending eye injury.

No one has a higher **** talker ratio to hahaha ratio than Allen Green.

Good looking KO for Kessler, but it is troubling that he got put down by Green who is about as basic as a puncher can get.

Love those one punch KOs.

I'd say it's my leader for KO of the year.

Glad to see Kessler with a nice KO win.

I'd actually like to see him fight Froch again.

I wouldn't mind seeing him against whomever wins between Foch and Bute.

Hatton doesn't look like there's any left.

Canelo Alvarez vs Paul Williams on Sept 15, Nonito Donaire vs Jeffrey Mathebula on July 7th, Amir Khan vs Danny Garcia on July 14th.

C'mon, Nonito...though at least this won't just be him fighting a guy whom he dwarfs (like that ridiculous last fight)...his opponent is 5'10''!!

skflives · Post #395 » by **skflives** » Thu May 24, 2012 1:39 pm

I don't like any of these matchups. Amir Khan could have picked a more worthy opponent. Donaire could have picked a more compelling opponent. Alvarez's opponent is better for him and a good name for his resume but Williams is going to get hurt.

For a replacement, Garcia is a solid choice. I can't really think of another option right now. He's young, he's a titlist, and he's got some talent. I'd still place Khan as a sizable favorite though.

That July 7th card, I'm more looking forward to the undercard fight of Rios-Herrera. Should be great for as long as it lasts.

vi3t · Post #397 » by **vi3t** » Sat May 26, 2012 12:56 am

Lucian Bute - Carl Froch tomorrow, should be interesting, plus Bute is fighting outside of Quebec for a change

Blame Rasho · Post #398 » by **Blame Rasho** » Sat May 26, 2012 12:56 am

I think Bute will get the KO via left hook to the body.

Garcia isn't noteworthy besides the fact that he brings more jewelery than what his purse is...

I'll take Froch by close decision. Bute does have a nasty hook and uppercut to the body, I could definitely see a scenario where he gets the KO with either of those punches.

Can't wait for this fight. Read earlier that the main event is scheduled to start at 4p PST/7p EST in the US, midnight over in England.
