Let the haters hate, I'm going Floyd Mayweather. Jim Rome said it best "Amazing thing about Floyd Mayweather...even at 36, I've seen no slippage at all. Until I do, I'll never pick against him. Way too slick."

So ready for this fight, as im a huge boxing fan! Cant wait, got the fightat my house tomorrow, pizza n beer (i dont drink though). lol im ready

[Simply Red]

so when is it?

[In58men]

so when is it?

Tomorrow 9 EST/6 PT/7 CT

[ChiefAshhole20]

I consider myself a fan of the sport but admittedly don't keep up with it like I used to. Is this Alvarez a legitamite threat or has he just been built up to fill a main card slot? This just reminds me of Ricky Hatton all over again.

Not at all. This will be Floyd's biggest challenge he's had in quite some time. Floyd struggles with big dudes and Canelo is a beast. This could easily be Floyd's first lost.

i know nothing about Alvarez so far - i'll try to study up.

God that's annoying.

[In58men]

It's really a "can't miss fight". There was honestly no other opponent than Canelo the fans wanted to see. Everyone got their wish.

[SeeingRed]

I'm going with the underdog...kid is tough. Floyd is too cocky. GREAT fight!

[Earthling]

I'll be watching too. Should be a good fight.

[Simply Red]

firstrowsports offers streams generally - which is totally rad.

[HoneyBadger]

Money Mayweather will win.

[ChiefAshhole20]

Also, how in the holy hell did Canelo get 42 wins and he is only 23 years old?? Does this include amateur bouts as well?

It gave my computer some FBI virus lol. I'll never go to that site again.

[In58men]

Also, how in the holy hell did Canelo get 42 wins and he is only 23 years old?? Does this include amateur bouts as well?

Álvarez turned professional at 15, shortly after his championship at the Junior Nationals, because his trainers at the time, father-and-son team Chepo and Eddy Reynoso, were unable to find suitable junior opponents for him. In his first 19 months as a professional, he knocked out 11 of his 13 documented opponents, all of whom were significantly older. However, the elder Reynoso stated in 2013 that Álvarez had fought 10 more times in that span, winning all 10 by knockout, but that these fights (all in small venues in the Mexican state of Nayarit) were so poorly documented that it was not worth the trouble to seek to have the record corrected

Hell yeah, that's why I keep coming around here. Thanks man, hoping for a classic fight.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Go Floyd!

went pro at 15. In Mexico, they fight like ever other month. lol

didnt read the 2nd page. Anyways, there is a great column on Grantland.com about Canelo and his uprising. Its pretty cool

[Walrus]

Mexican ginger?

[kcxiv]

Mexican ginger?

yep,hence the name Canelo. Cinnamon in spanish.lol

[mikey23545]

Not at all. This will be Floyd's biggest challenge he's had in quite some time. Floyd struggles with big dudes and Canelo is a beast. This could easily be Floyd's first lost.

Or it could be just another won.

[TribalElder]

Floyd is getting SuperPaid for this fight.

I have to see this one.

I also think

(cost of ppv + beer at home) < (cost of food and beer at a bar showing the fight)

If I can get a few dollars from others I might have to just get this at home. Plus 3 months free showtime but who gives a fuck about that.

74.99 is quite a bit though so I have yet to do it. Some of the AMC movie theaters are showing the fight for 15.00 a pop. Streams are cool and all but too much work sometimes.

[LiL stumppy]

Canelo is in his prime. Canelo has the second highest landing percentage of power punches and FLOYD has the least landed against him percentage. The fun fact is Floyd will do his thing, but Canelo is strong enougb to end it very quick. Canelo is the best boxer floyd has fought in a while. If canelo gets him I think it will be a KO

[kcxiv]

it will have to be within 6-7 to knock him out, after that, not sure he can do that. He's gonna just have to press him and throw punches. I know other boxers have tried and failed, but you are not going to outbox him, so there is no other way really. Back when old ass Shane Mosley fought him about 2 years ago, he hurt Floyd in round 2, but after that Shane had nothing left, he was to old and had no legs and he even said he had an issue that didnt allow him to build his leg strength up and he was still able to go 12 rounds with floyd.

Its gonna be interesting. Not saying Canelois going to win, but its gonna be fun.

[Halfcan]

Money gets knocked the F out- is my prediction!

[WhawhaWhat]

Mayweather by unanimous decision.

[TribalElder]

44-1-0 lolz

mayweather usually doesn't fight unless he knows he will win. I would be surprised if he gets knocked awf

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Do middle-aged white people with goatees still get upset with Floyd?

[Red Dawg]

Will gbe fight be on at Ameristar?

[houstonwhodat]

They say you can order the fight WITHOUT Showtime but you have to call Comcast.

They won't answer the phone.

[kcxiv]

you dialed the wrong number then, it should all be automated.

[houstonwhodat]

you dialed the wrong number then, it should all be automated.

They finally answered.

They said it's the same price with or without.

Misleading bullshit.

I'm not paying 74.99 + tax and fees for this bullshit.

It will be on HBO for free next week.

[TribalElder]

30 min to showtime

Also, the 3 free months of showtime does not kick in until like 5 days after the event. Canelo might shock the world, he seems to hit hard as fuck

So much better than watching the flash streams. Like night and day.

[HoneyBadger]

Got my money on black.

[TribalElder]

the current fight really sucks. you can see people checking thier phones in the audience. ROFL

the next fight should be good

[chief4life]

So much better than watching the flash streams. Like night and day.

Which stream you watching I tried the russian one but its not in english the announcers i mean. Its by far the best quality though.

[TribalElder]

thank god that is over

awful fight

[BWillie]

So how is there a redhead Mexican? Never seen one b4 today

[jjjayb]

Bloodzeed ones are good. In English.

[Lonewolf Ed]

Some Irish tourist didn't pull out of the puta in time.

[Simply Red]

so say there's a first round knock out - does/would the main-even just begin shortly after - or would there be fillers for 40 mins?

[jjjayb]

This one should be a good one.

[Buck]

Didn't watch last fight. Putting this one on. Let's go Garcia!

[houstonwhodat]

Its a showtime sanctioned fight HBO can't touch it.


Gotcha ya.

I'm watching it on First Row right now for free.

Quality is not as good as it would be on my 60" in but it ain't costing me 100.00 either.

[Buck]

Mattyce is winning I think.

[houstonwhodat]

so say there's a first round knock out - does/would the main-even just begin shortly after - or would there be fillers for 40 mins?

I went to the Summit (now Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church) back in the day and paid 50.00 for the PPV of the Mike Tyson/Michael Spinks fight.

It lasted 90 seconds and they didn't even show the drama afterwards, they just put the lights on and kicked everyone out.

[Mugalug]

Great fight so far.

[jjjayb]

Eye is swollen completely shut. He's screwed.

[-King-]

2 more rounds of this max. Then its on to the main event.

[jjjayb]

Getting nailed on the side with the swollen eye. Can't see it coming at all.

[Mugalug]

Garcia is a machine.

[Buck]

Cmon knock his ass out Garcia!

[Mugalug]

Garica whooped his ass.

[jjjayb]

Alright! Bring on the main event!

[Buck]

Is the fight already over for you guys? I'm still at 2 min left in the 12th.

[C3HIEF3S]

Is the fight already over for you guys? I'm still at 2 min left in the 12th.

Over for me. Where are you watching it at?

That ace stream thing that jjjayb posted.

I'll just keep out of this thread for the main event.

Hit the "live" button on the bottom of vlc.

Awwwwwww shiiiiit.

Thanks.

[houstonwhodat]

Which stream you watching I tried the russian one but its not in english the announcers i mean. Its by far the best quality though.

Here's how to fix that.

Pull up another tab on your browser and pull up another stream just for the audio.

Then hit mute on the Russian language version.

Problem solved.

[MMXcalibur]

Fuck Mexico.

[dlphg9]

Jesus christ lets just get to the fight

[dlphg9]

Looks like the entrance to Home Depot

[dlphg9]

Also is his name Tank? Who the fuck is this guy?

[jjjayb]

He looks like a Mexican Opie.

[ClevelandBronco]

Change your options to have a 30 second buffer. Still smooth as butter here.

This Tank guy sucks.

Change your options to have a 30 second buffer.

I did.

[ClevelandBronco]

Gretzsky looks homeless.

[Mugalug]

So is everyone's money on Money?

[jjjayb]

Was that Judge Joe Brown sitting next to Denzel?

[MMXcalibur]

GET TO IT ALREADY

JESUS CHRIST

[Buck]

So is everyone's money on Money?

Can't bet against him.

[jjjayb]

I did.

What are your total max connects and max connects per stream?

[dlphg9]

Lil Wayne? WTF? lol

[dlphg9]

AND BIEBS!

[ClevelandBronco]

I'd pay to see Alvarez KO Bieber.

[SnakeXJones]

This is a circus not a boxing match

[jjjayb]

Fucking Beiber with him again.

[TribalElder]

Justin Beiber... really

You just got your hood card revoked bro

LMAO

not a good look there Money

[Buck]

Lil Wayne and Bieber lol

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

I love it. Wayne and Bieber. What a troll. Go Floyd!

[dlphg9]

I hope Mayweather gets KO'ed

[Buck]

What are your total max connects and max connects per stream?

I did everything in that thread. I'm gonna restart the stream.

[jjjayb]

Lil Wayne sounds like an idiot.

[ClevelandBronco]

Two Las Vegas refs. Sounds like everything is on the up and up there.

[jjjayb]

I did everything in that thread. I'm gonna restart the stream.

Make sure you right click on the taskbar icon and exit out of Acestream before you click on the stream again.

[jjjayb]

Jesus Christ. There's like 40 people in the ring. Get the fuck out and let's get it on!

[Simply Red]

Mexicans have an uncanny fighting ability - I can't imagine a redheaded Mexican boxer, it must be the same as a deaf wrestler, where they just pwn fools.

[SnakeXJones]

If there is a god he would let this POS lose

[jjjayb]

Damn that's a white ass Mexican.

[ClevelandBronco]

Certainly more of a boxing match than a fight at this point.

[-King-]

Snore.

[Simply Red]

exciting fight

[RobBlake]

pfft, no more uncanny fighting ability than any other nationality

Fred Astaire would be pleased with the first round.

[Simply Red]

pfft, no more uncanny fighting ability than any other nationality

totally disagree.

[ClevelandBronco]

pfft, no more uncanny fighting ability than any other nationality

Not even Switzerland?

[jjjayb]

That didn't sound like chant's of mexico mexico to me. Sounded like bullshit bullshit to me.

[HoneyBadger]

First two rounds go to TMT

[RINGLEADER]

Zzzzz

[RobBlake]

totally disagree.

do you fall easily for mexican's machismo? I'd be more scared of a russian

[dlphg9]

Hopefully the action picks up. Lots of Mexicans there that have worked there whole lives to afford tickets to this fight.

[dlphg9]

Is that corner man on drugs?

[RINGLEADER]

Hopefully the action picks up. Lots of Mexicans there that have worked there whole lives to afford tickets to this fight.

Round 3 was okay. Mayweather won it. 2-1 Floyd so far IMO.

[ClevelandBronco]

Hopefully the action picks up. Lots of Mexicans there that have worked there whole lives to afford tickets to this fight.

No one is going to field this one?

Round 3 was okay. Mayweather won it. 2-1 Floyd so far IMO.

mayweather is 3-0 so far.

[jjjayb]

Cinnamon boy is going to get KO'd.

[dlphg9]

I think Mayweather 4-0

[HoneyBadger]

Round 3 was okay. Mayweather won it. 2-1 Floyd so far IMO.

Which round did he lose? He has owned this ginger.

[RobBlake]

this round was closer. can might've had the edge

[RINGLEADER]

mayweather is 3-0 so far.

Good round - Mayweather wins it.

I gave Canelo the first only because he danced better.

[Silock]

This is boring as fuck.

Para bailar La Bamba se necessita una poca de gracia.

Mayweather is frustrating the hell out of Alvarez. Alvarez will get more sloppy the more he gets frustrated.

[Simply Red]

announcers sensationalizing the jabs from Alvarez - those last few weren't squarely landed, and thrown off balance. Shitty fight call.

[dlphg9]

Mayweather is significantly better than Alvarez so far.

[RINGLEADER]

Mayweather is frustrating the hell out of Alvarez. Alvarez will get more sloppy the more he gets frustrated.

Pretty much. I get the sense Mayweather is walking this guy to a KO.

[MMXcalibur]

Enjoy another boring, rigged spectacle.
Bask in the greatness of this douchenozzle for another night.

Headed to bed to dream of kicking Cowboy ass.

[jjjayb]

announcers sensationalizing the jabs from Alvarez - those last few weren't squarely landed, and thrown off balance. Shitty fight call.

I wouldn't know. I'm listening to russion anouncers. I think I actually prefer it that way.

[RobBlake]

mayweather is a beast.

[RINGLEADER]

Mayweather is significantly better than Alvarez so far.

6-1 Mayweather.

[dlphg9]

Alvarez took that one

I'm listening to the British broadcast

[HoneyBadger]

Enjoy another boring, rigged spectacle.
Bask in the greatness of this douchenozzle for another night.

Headed to bed to dream of kicking Cowboy ass.

Nope. Mayweather is going to take this without controversy.

[jjjayb]

Halfway through and Mayweater is dominating so far.

[RobBlake]

Alvarez took that one

I'm listening to the British broadcast

how the hell did he just win that round? lol

[RINGLEADER]

Canelo needs to fight. Terrible fight planning from his camp.

[RINGLEADER]

Alvarez took that one

I'm listening to the British broadcast

No way.

[RINGLEADER]

Canelo's best round by far.

He still lost it.

[ClevelandBronco]

No way.

For what it's worth, he posted that after the 6th, not the 7th.

[Simply Red]

best knock out Pretty boy.

[Silock]

:yawn:

Mayweather doesn't take a fight he can't win.

[Simply Red]

:yawn:

Mayweather doesn't take a fight he can't win.

yeah - color me disappoint, thus far. CA not landing the critical punches he needs to - he can't hit the dome at all.

[Simply Red]

he said 'pop shot'

[ClevelandBronco]

The kid seems to be waiting for an opening that he's not going to get until after the fight is over.

[Iconic]

I just started watching... What are the odds of Alvarez winning?

[dlphg9]

Alvarez needs to come out swinging. Shouldn't care if he gets knocked out. He will lose if he doesn't end this.

[RINGLEADER]

The kid seems to be waiting for an opening that he's not going to get until after the fight is over.

After that state-down that might be the plan. Dude has to let loose if he wants to win.

[jjjayb]

I just started watching... What are the odds of Alvarez winning?

About zero.

[jjjayb]

LOL. You will never win a fight against Mayweather sitting back at arms length trying to sneak in shots. He will pick you completely apart.

[Iconic]

About zero.

After watching round 11... Yeah, Floyds just toying with the kid at this point

[RINGLEADER]

LOL. You will never win a fight against Mayweather sitting back at arms length trying to sneak in shots. He will pick you completely apart.

Pretty much. Mayweather's jab has chipped away at Alvarez every round.

Absent a knock-out this was a boring fight.

[ClevelandBronco]

After watching round 11... Yeah, Floyds just toying with the kid at this point

Yeah. That started in round 1.

[ClevelandBronco]

Minute and a half, kid. Why are you here?

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Floyd is the man. One of the best ever

[jjjayb]

Watching the Russian broadcast, I haven't heard any of what Alvarez's corner has said to him. What are they telling him between rounds?

[-King-]

Man...fuck Mayweather and LMAO @ The people who still pay for his fights. Pay to see a guy run around the ring.

[ClevelandBronco]

Watching the Russian broadcast, I haven't heard any of what Alvarez's corner has said to him. What are they telling him between rounds?

"Take your time. Pace yourself. We'll turn you loose in the 14th round."

[dlphg9]

Jesus, that was boring as hell. Thank god I didnt spend a dime on it.

[jjjayb]

Dude, you got your ass kicked for 11 rounds. The only way you win is by knockout, and this is what you bring in the 12th?

[Dave Lane]

Well Carlos O'Kelly didn't do that well in my book.

[jjjayb]

"Take your time. Pace yourself. We'll turn you loose in the 14th round."

LMAO

[Simply Red]

I'd be pissed to pay for that - what a joke - great marketing though.

[In58men]

Mayweather hasn't lost a step. He can go another 3 solid fights.

[jjjayb]

Horrible fight by Alvarez and his team. You have a huge size advantage and try to dance around and out fast Mayweather? Ain't gonna happen.

[ClevelandBronco]

Majority?

EVEN?

[RINGLEADER]

WTF?!?

Majority decision?

A draw?!?

[dlphg9]

Who the fuck scored that even lol

[pr_capone]

114-114???

What the fuck fight was that judge watching???

[Dave Lane]

WTF

[eDave]

Was that Beiber in the ring? Whole thing is a joke.

[C3HIEF3S]

WTF kind of drug was that judge on?

[TribalElder]

canelo did not fight how he should have

he tried to out box mayweather. he should have tried to over power him instead

[ClevelandBronco]

Ladies and gentlemen, that was the fight of the year. Good grief.

[Buck]

Majority decision lol.

[jjjayb]

114-114???

What the **** fight was that judge watching???

He must've been mesmerized by Beiber's dreamy good looks.

[RINGLEADER]

Was that Beiber in the ring? Whole thing is a joke.

I'm sure he gets invites by promising to hang out with Mayweather's daughter.

[chiefswillriseup]

yeah.. boxing is boring. ufc > boxing

[ClevelandBronco]

I am now going to make a late night run to the grocery store, where I expect to see far more action in the fruit section.

[stevieray]

poor boxing..such a shell of its former self.

[TribalElder]

beiber = pillowchewer

[Sanka]

Those last 5 rounds were pretty good

[DaneMcCloud]

poor boxing..such a shell of its former self.

As the money for professional football grew in the 80's and 90's, the sport lost a ton of would-be great boxers.

It'll likely never recover.

makes sense.


It's such a shame. The Golden Era of boxing occurred, IMO, in the 1970's.

There were so many great fighters in nearly every division.

[Reaper16]

The ref who somehow scored this a draw (despite Floyd winning every round IMO) was the same one who scored in favor of Bradley in the Pacquiao-Bradley fight. She's a joke.

You know, I hate to say it, but it sounds to me like manufactured drama.

How awesome was it watching guys like Earnie Shavers and George Foreman and Danny "Little Red" Lopez and countless others on Wide Wide World of Sports on a Saturday afternoon?

Yes. And Hagler and Hearns. And give me another Iron Mike Tyson please.

[DaneMcCloud]

Sugar Ray Leonard

"and the agony...(ski jumper bounces off ground)...of defeat"

Oh yeah! And Hagler and Wilfredo Benitez and Jimmy Young and the Hitman Hearns.

Such great fighters.

[DaneMcCloud]

Sugar Ray Leonard? Roberto Duran?

Duran was amazing!

[vailpass]

no mas!

[DaneMcCloud]

Yes. And Hagler and Hearns. And give me another Iron Mike Tyson please.

I met Hearns at the finale of The Contender season one (when it was on NBC) and I swear, I've never seen a man with shoulders so broad in my life.

The guy was an animal.

[In58men]

Incase boxers are unaware. YOU CAN'T OUT BOX MAYWEATHER YOU MUST SWING FOR THE FENCES AND GO FOR BROKE.

[DaneMcCloud]

no mas!

GREAT fight!

[stevieray]

He looked like it on tv, frame as big as a house. Cool you met him.

[vailpass]

GREAT fight!

One of the best ever. Period.

[Titty Meat]

I grew up as a kid watching Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Morrison, and my favorite Riddick Bowe.

I think the problem is a lot of those guys I listed went off the deep end.

[In58men]

One of the best ever. Period.

Not really. Floyd had control since round 1.

[Sorter]

While on the subject of older boxers, Pernell Whitaker was absolutely amazing.

[vailpass]

Not really. Floyd had control since round 1.

Opinions vary. The build up going into it was huge, and Floyd totally handled his business even though he wasn't favored. IMHO that was a great fight.

[vailpass]

Sweet Pea anyone? :)

[DaneMcCloud]

Yeah, that was a great night, Drinks with Cuba and Ron Livingston, the Contender Finale (I told Sergio Mora and his mother after his win that he'd win a title belt and later, he did!), Hearns and so many others.

Hearns was definitely the highlight. What a legend!

Floyd hasn't a lost a step. I didn't see one flaw in his fight. He has about 5 solid fights left.

The late 90's is where the true drop off began. Holyfield, Tyson, Razor Rudduck, Michael Dokes and Lennox Lewis would have been contenders, if not champions, in any era.

Lennox Lewis is one of the most talented heavyweights of all time but he wa so stinking lazy. There is no reason why he should have been knocked out by Oliver McCall.

Technically solid as you can get, with a puncher's fire in him.

Same as Tyson. At least Lewis had the excuse he was busy making a kid a month or whatever his count was.

[DaneMcCloud]

Sweet Pea anyone? :)
That whole 1984 team was loaded! Meldrick, Holyfield, Whitaker, etc.

I stayed up until 2am that summer each night to watch boxing. I knew in 1984 that Holyfield would be heavyweight champ someday.

Yeah his wallet was the one that said"Bad Motherfucker".

[DaneMcCloud]

Technically solid as you can get, with a puncher's fire in him.

As long as he remains a solid counter-puncher, he'll keep his title.

I look forward to seeing the fight on Showtime.

LMAO

Good times.

He's so well trained, just a solid boxer. I know full contact is the big thing right now but the Sweet Science is a joy to watch when done right.

[DaneMcCloud]

yes.

Larry Holmes never got his just due. He defended the title more times than anyone other than Joe Louis.

He knocked out Ali in a sparring session in 1975.

His 15 round fight with Ken Norton in 1978 for the Ali vacated title was legendary. I had the Sports Illustrated cover with him knocking out Earnie Shavers taped inside my 7th grade locker.

He was awesome.

[Simply Red]

who was that we all chatted about as the fight went on - several yrs ago?

Grrr - when he went to shake hands and FMW jacked him in the jaw, wasn't that the same one where he went all psychopath on that Larry Merchant?

Dude is most likely a wife beater.

Shavers. Holy Shit, blast from the past. Forgot about him. And yes, Holmes beast ass for a long time. But he never made a Foreman grill.

Yeah, it's just a drag for those of us that enjoy it that the talent pool is so lean.

Could you even imagine some of these football players as boxers?

Ray Lewis? Derrick Thomas? Steve Atwater? The list is virtually endless if those guys had trained as boxers from age 10 to 18 instead of football...

[Simply Red]

The Justin Bieber side kick thing is still really odd to me, borderline creepy. & yes Lil' Wayne is a poor excuse for a rapper. Jadakiss would be embarrassed.

I never thought about that...wow. Gladiator time. I'm in. Talent pool sucks. Shady promoters didn't help.
