Re: Boxing Off-Topic

March 12th which is a Saturday.

I think "One Time" will be in a fight. Porter is rough and tumble and can crowd you. Pretty much what N51_rob said.



I think his size alone would give Wilder problems.

He's needs a definitive KO over Klitschko to make fans think "Heavyweight Crown" instead of "Heavyweight Clown".

Thanks for the correction on the date.

Brutal Knock-Out. Hope Szpilka is okay after that.

Tyson Fury is a clown. He might be able to be competitive in the heavyweight division by virtue of the state of the division at present, but I've seen nothing from him in the 2-3 times I've seen him fight that would suggest to me that he's got any staying power. Maybe I'm wrong and he's got more skill and power than I am giving him credit for, but he doesn't seem like someone anyone will be talking about in any serious way in a few years.

Having said that, Wilder still needs to get better. I mean, I know that no one would disagree with that, but watching him fight, he still doesn't seem to do things as second-nature, which he's going to need against the best competition. Defense, head movement, combination punching - it all needs to be tighter, faster, more natural. He still seems a bit robotic in there right now. But I am excited for him if he can continue to improve his craft.

He didn't see the punch. Szpilka took more powerful punches and was rattled a few times but not noticeably hurt. Good thing the shot caught him on the jaw and not the temple.

I'd like to see Wilder take on Ortiz or Povetkin in that order.

Purse: Wilder $1.5 million, Szpilka $250,000

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Joshua should be in the mix soon as well. David Haye returned this week as well so the HW division is definitely getting interesting.

I know Haye's still popular in the UK but I can't the get the Klitschko fight out of my head. At least The Clown (fury) tried to beat Wlad.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Pretty good PBC bout on Fox Saturday Night, with Danny Garcia and Robert Guerrero fighting for Floyd's vacated WBC Welterweight title.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I think Danny Garcia is the P4P best boxer in the game right now.

To me he has superstar potential. Just need to get a little personality out of him.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Just finished watching and scoring Garcia/Guerrero. Had it very close with Guerrero winning by the skin of his teeth 6-5-1.

Judges gave it to Garcia with scores of 116-112 (all three).

Wow you're really high on him. In my opinion he was given gift decisions against Herrera and Peterson.

Very high. Just my opinion though.

Looked like he struggled early at 147 and Guerrero's bullying. But once he got into his mode it was business as usual for him.

I just think he's so incredibly sharp on power punches. He has power in both hands. Crisp.

Needs to gain strength/put on muscle and work on his guard. I'd also like to see him jab more often. Relies on big shots too much.

I actually didn't have a problem with the scoring tonight.

I didn't score the fight but I thought Garcia won easily. Guerrero's head should be checked for plaster of paris, but his skills don't match his chin. He took a multitude of fierce solid straight rights and left hooks, and didn't come close to matching Garcia's output.

Not at all. Guerrero's best punch was a right chin to the left hook. I'd be interested to see what the CompuBox stats showed. My recording cut off just before the decision was announced.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

i had Garcia winning 115-113. took him awhile to get going, but he was very sharp the 2nd half of the fight.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Didn't score as the fight went along, but felt like Danny clearly won it down the stretch. He landed the cleaner blows throughout the fight and fought well moving backwards. That was a fun one to watch.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Here's how I scored each round:

Garcia: 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Guerrero: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12
Even: Round 5

The rounds Guerrero won he was busier and more aggressive...Garcia mostly backed up with a counter here and there.

The rounds Garcia won he was countering very well moving backwards and opened up with more combos.

As I said I didn't score it, but I was surprised that in the early rounds the "consensus commentator" talk was that Guerrero was doing something right. I erased the fight, I'll try to see it again, but you giving the loser the first four rounds seems pretty generous. I found the punch stats.
