223 punches to Malignaggi's head alone... :ouch:

One thing I liked from Khan in this fight was his arsenal, punching at different angles. The question is if he can pull that off against the more elite 140 fighters with power.

I really want to like Khan based on tonight but he hasn't really faced a test since going out for the count. I think he's recovered better than someone like Victor Ortiz though. Ortiz did well but there were times where he looked very tentative. I just don't know about him. Nate Campbell looked done, too.

I still think Alexander and Bradley are the cream of the crop at 140.

Campbell is done at this age and was never all that great. I used to like Campbell but after all his talking and coming in overweight - I didn't care anymore. The Peden fights will be all I remember of him sadly -

The 4th fight really shouldn't have happen

Alexander vs Kotelnik on August 7th and Bradley vs Abregu is back on again, this time on July 17.

HBO will broadcast both fights.

Eh... I want them to face each other.

Kotelnik is boring and Abregu will get outclassed.

Vit Klitchko wins again.

Shocking...

Andrade won... busted up Lucas pretty bad... if Vazquez didn't fight last week, Lucas would have won for the worst cut of the year.

The same WBO who raised a dead guy in their supermiddleweight rankings... tell us it isn't so.

He is the Ring and lineal champ... nothing else matters.

I hope Vasquez is smart enough to not put himself into the ring again. That cut opened up wide after surgery and months of downtime.

Cotto-Foreman coming up...I'm going to go with Cotto at the new weight by decision. Hopefully Steward does ten times the job of Cotto's last corner (which Steward should).

Haha...look what my friend e-mailed me.

His skills and movement looked OK, he had just never seen a jab like that and had to start throwing around it. Poor guy.

Money wants to take one-two years off just when Pacman has reportedly agreed to be tested 14 days before the fight.

Eh... Mayweather will be broke before 2 years given his lifestyle and his indifference to paying taxes.

The only problem is that Pacquiao before running for office says he doesn't plan on fighting much longer. His next fight, whether it includes Mayweather or not, could very well be his last.

It would be travesty if the fight doesn't get made.

Post #1320 » by **Rich Rane** » Sat Jun 5, 2010 4:36 pm

It certainly is, but whether Mayweather takes a break or not, I've come to live with the fight not happening. Drug testing dates, lawsuits, and purse splits and now a possible break...even with all the money on the table, I'd actually be more surprised if the fight does happen.
