Last night’s robbery

Obviously a different fight than you, yes Khan was winning most of the rounds but he was having real difficulty doing so and McClocsky was beginning to pickup and just as this happens the fight is stopped. You can say what you like obviously you seem to have some bias towards Pacquaio and Khan but the fact that the majority of people seem to have it very differently to your view suggests your wrong.

I’m not saying McClocsky would of won but the fight was given to Khan due to a decision that was arguably premature.

 

McCloskey hardly landed a punch. made Khan look clumsy early on but was just being defense not countering. Khan began to time him and connected more and more. He won ever round convincingly.

Yes got stopped to early but that was down to the doctor, but most likely Khan would have stopped in the next few rounds.

 

Got caught with some big uppercuts, was winning the fight too.

 

Yeah I felt so sorry for him, he was winning every round but got tired at the end and made a stupid mistake, his opponent was very brave though, and took Prescott's punches very well, I couldnt believe he didnt go down from some of those shots

 

Bob Arum is all about money and Pooch vs Mayweather will draw in at least 100million, and Arum would hate to lose that fight so it wouldn't suprise me if he did pay the judges off, bit of a wild claim from myself but come on you don't have to be a boxing expert to see Marquez won that fight last night, i had it 7rounds for marquez and 5 to pacquiao and that was being generous by giving pacquiao the close rounds, i could have easily had it 8-4 in rounds, pacquiaos looked really bad in his last two fights and has struggled a lot, not sure if its age or if his not putting as much effort into training as his concetrating on his presidency or whatever it is he does but i didn't see him beating mayweather before and on that evidence i can't see him winning a round if he struggles against Marquez's counter punching, i'm sure that fight will happen now for a fact due to the poor performances by pacquiao i think mayweather will see it as a easy payday. Mayweather v Pac in May then everyone will talk up the Khan fight

 

Thats the only annoying thing about Prescott though, great puncher but all you have to do to beat him is survive 6 rounds then his gone, he has very low stamina and tires easy, still he'll always be a legend for knocking khan out

 

i wasnt impressed with alvarado at all. and hes already 31. bradley looks nowt special either. should have had a 40 yr old casamayor out way before he finally did it.

 

you could see what marquez's coach meant though when he said this fight would be "easier" than the other 2, even if he wasnt given the decision. he found it difficult to see punches coming from impossible angles in the first two, he was much easier to keep an eye on last night

 

I remember them showing him in his locker room before the Khan fight and the way he was hitting the pads made me think this guy will be tough for Khan but I never thought he would walk over Khan like that. It shame really that Prescott is so one dimensional as a fighter as he has all the attributes to be successful, he's strong has a good chin and has a fantastic jab. The problem is he is very open and does not often use his jab resulting in him taking needles shots and missing with his own.

 

Bradley is a perfect example of a fighter who dodges opponents, he could have fought Khan but chose the easier option because he knew Khan would batter him.

The fight I really want to see is a domestic fight between Khan and Kell Brook, Brook is a very impressive fighter and potential world star and they both seem to hate each other so it would definitely be an exciting fight.

 

thought this was interesting

You get paid on how much you draw.

The fans you attract.

 

Khan will look to step up next year. He said he would face Kell Brook if he leaves Hearn. But could also face the winner of the Berto vs Ortiz II.

Bradley ducked Khan because a loss would scupper a fight with Pacquiao, but that fight looks unlikely now.

 

But this is precisely my point boxing has becoming as much about politics as it is about training, fighters continue to duck and dodge each other which is ruining the sport, if Mayweather vs Pacquaio doesn’t happen then it will be a disgrace to the sport and they will both be a joke. you cant call your self pound for pound the greatest in the world if you haven’t fought the best opponents. Everyone seem to think these two are the best so they should fight each other whether they will seems to be very unlikely unless something changes fast.

 

True words, back in the old days you'd fight anyone becuase you'd want to be known as the best, now it's just all about the money

 

Agree with this - that's why I have so much respect for Carl Froch. The super-six has been harsh as **** on the fighters but brilliant entertainment and it's proper fighters wanting to prove themselves against the best in their division.
