Quite a few big names in action over the next month or so. Garcia - Porter and Khan - Vargas over the weekend, then obviously the GGG - Canelo rematch next week. I'm thinking Golovkin needs a stoppage after the judges in the last fight. I don't know how any judge could have given it to Canelo, even the draw was a stretch. I've never been a huge Canelo fan and would love Golovkin to win.

In the bizarre, Sergio Martinez and Chavez Jr are calling eachother out for a rematch. What a freakshow that would be. An injured old man against a fat, non-relevant and inactive fighter. Although Martinez' adviser has poured cold water over the fight or a comeback at all.

Amazing watching Wilder loading up on that right back then too, but getting tagged before he fires it off every single time.

I'm sure he manages to disguise it it bit better now though.

Some things never change. Khan boxes a very good 10-8 round then gets put on his pants hard by a lead right hand. Shaken badly.

[Zapater]

Weathered the storm, Khan is definitely not a top fighter. He didn't seem like he was suffering from ring rust. Fitness and general chin issues. Did a dance tonight, although he won every round. He's speaking about the big fights but Thurman, Spence or Crawford would stop him within the first 6. Even a rematch with Garcia wouldn't go well.

On the subject of Garcia, it should be a good fight. Have an inkling Porter may sneak it, but should be interesting to see.

Khan has unbelievably quick hands, that was really impressive from him but he gets tagged way too easily and was lucky the bell rang when he did his little dance.. a fighter with real power would have stopped him.

Khan is a good watch as his fights are usually exiciting but if he gets in with the likes of Thurman, Crawford or Spence Jnr he’s getting stopped I just don’t think he’s at that elite level.


Didn’t sound overly keen on facing Brook either who based on that performance would take him out as well rather face an aging and fading Pacquiao.

Me ma, who is all of 110lbs could spark khan right out. Chinny ****

[Zapater]

Imagine if he fought in the 15 rnd era. He'd never hear the final bell. Someone with heavier hands would have taken him out last night for sure.

Can't believe he said that he let Vargas off the hook to get the rounds in. That's the biggest bull**** I've ever heard. Definitely knows he's done after that fight. Even less impressive than before in a strong division. There are enough good fighters around to make him completely irrelevant. Him and Pacquiao might as well have a farewell, retirement bout against each other. Manny still has a bit of a wallop in his left hand and Khan wouldn't handle it well, particularly a barrage. Even though Khan doesn't really press forward, the way he stays at the table too long when attacking could lead to a Hatton styled knock out against a fast handed fighter like Pacquaio.

On the subject of Garcia, it should be a good fight. Have an inkling Porter may sneak it, but should be interesting to see.

I was right. Was a close one and could have gone either way but it's justified I think. Porter with his rough house tactics. Danny Garcia has had 2 or 3 gift decisions in the past, so can have no complaints about losing a tight one, especially as he was outworked with Porter throwing 250+ more punches.

Not much chatter about GGG / Canelo. The former in 12 I reckon. I'll deffo be setting the alarm for this. :rockon:

[Shaggy]

Yep won't be missing this. Cannot wait. Thought GGG won the first fight and I think he'll win this one with a late stoppage. Canelo looks significantly smaller this time.

Enzo Calzaghe has died.

Enzo Calzaghe has died.

no he is still alive.

[Zapater]

I'm picking Golovkin for a stoppage victory too but let's see. Regardless of what happens or what Canelo/Golden Boy say, GGG won the first one by several rounds. Everybody knows that.

Sad news that Enzo is in bad shape. One of the real characters in the sport. The sport needs and relies on guys like him.

Mayweather jr saying he is coming back to fight Pac later this year.



zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
