Back to back fights on the same night I don't like DeGale normally but you've got to say that's impressive

Pacman vs Bradley II tonight

Should be a good fight. Pacman is no where near the boxer he was several years back but will be looking to avenge his controversial points decision loss in the first fight with Bradley.

Bradley is very underrated.

David Price continued his come back of sorts and won by KO in the third round of his fight. He was however down in the first. Can't build muscles on a chin.

Not a good night for Warren. Hahahahahaha.

Not a good night for Warren. Hahahahahaha.

He's ****ed.

His two biggest sellers on the card tonight, both defeated and the Copperbox is once again a ghost town.

Not a great fight, but happy that Manny won. I find Bradley highly unlikeable and I'm happy someone has put him on his place. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses a couple of fights in the next couple of years.

Pacquiao is obviously still very good, but he's definitely declined quite a lot since his prime. I know he fought opponents whom were more tailor-made for him before, which isn't always the case now, excluding Rios. But his footwork, combination punching etc was a lot better. Not too many left in the tank.

When was the last time Manny KO'd someone? Hatton?

[RichC]

He stopped Cotto but don't think there has been another since then

Cotto TKO 12 in 2009.

Jeez. Five years. Hatton was 2009 as well wasn't it.

That was the last one, and I'm pretty sure that he could've seen that fight out. It was a good stoppage from the refs point of view, but there wasn't much time left and Cotto really could've battled through. Hatton the last spectacular one. Post Margarito there hasn't really been the same kind of standout performance IMO. But as I said other than Rios, the opponents haven't really been A) made to order and B) been horrendously dehydrated/ had issues at the weight.

If Mayweather v Pacman does eventually happen (and I still think it will) I fear it could be very one sided these days.

What's FM had in the same time , maybe one ko and a tko ?

Hasn't lost a fight though obviously. But not like he's knocking every opponent out either.

edit: disclaimer: I could be wrong, maybe FM has been flattening everyone, just don't remember many ko's in the last few years though.

[Gibbo]

He's had one KO since he knocked Hatton out, and that was the one where he punched Ortiz in the chops when he was apologising.

I do think it will happen now, it's a logical place for both of them to go, it would have been better happening a few years ago though. It'll be a big big money fight either way.

I think Floyd will dodge his way to a UD if it does happen too.
