Love you Torsion - Jeff Fenech and Kostya were responsible for my love of boxing.
Some old school classic rivalry action

Probably the closest fight to a Rocky movie of all time - Astounding.
If you can't bothered watching the whole thing - Watch the last round, Round 10 at 53:00 - Astounding
RIP Chico

That Mathysse Provodnikov fight was utterly epic. Provodnikov is inhuman in the amount of punches he could absorb.
I thought it was utterly bizarre given how close the fight was that there was no mention of rematch at anytime in the post fight.
Pisscubes - Round 9 of that fight is as nuts as boxing gets.

that fight was fucking BRUTAL. Provodnikov on the later rounds was killing it.

Im gonna bet for the first time. On Manny. Even though there's a bigger chance Mayweather is taking it.

I'm excited about this fight tonight. for me, manny has about a 30% chance of beating floyd. it would have to be convincing to get a decision
I hope he knocks him the fuck out
it probably won't happen, but I hope for it

10-2 in rounds is just wrong but I have no argument with Floyd winning - it was close.
Hopefully we can move past the Floyd Manny era now and enjoy the GGG era. Kellerman can get fucked.

my stream of the fight were a bit disjointed so weight my opinion accordingly, but that was a much closer fight then the Mayweather/Alvarez. And seemed like a better fight.

I would have paid a lot extra PPVbux to see them finish up in an alley behind the venue. How anti-climactic

Kellerman would suck Mayweather's dick if he could.

I had Manny with 3, 4, 6 and 10. 11 & 12 were close but I thought 116-112 Mayweather was the right score.
