Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2007 "Me either, well not too much anyway. His loss to Sanders I almost blame on his corner since Wlad was ice cold coming out of the lockerroom, when any common idiot knows your boxer should be warming up and in mid-sweat by the time he enters the ring." I barely remember the fight but that would explain a lot. "Against Brewster, it seemed like conditioning, as he got up and wasn't wobbly at all, just tired as hell. I still don't quite understand that fight, but it would explain why Wlad is way more picky about throwing punches now then before." I remember hearing all sorts of strange stories about that fight, not sure what to believe. I heard about Wlad being possibly drugged, Wlad's skin pores being suffocated by some sort of lotion from an ill advised rub down before the fight. It all sounds goofy as hell to me, but after watching the fight at the time; it does some wierd. At any rate, Wlad getting gassed is the simplest and most grounded explantation so I'll go with that. And Ill go with Barrera decision also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coffin Surfer 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2007 It looks Oleg/Vitali is pretty much a done deal for June 2. Peter will be facing the winner for a huge stand aside fee. I think Peter/Oleg would be more competitive and fun, but who knows what kind of shape Vitali is in. Oleg might have a chance but my gut feeling just says he's looking for a payday to retire with. Unforunately, Briggs/Sultan has took their venue and date....eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 18, 2007 At least we'll get JMM-Pac 2. Can't really complain about that. There's no way that Marquez will drop the belt to keep from fighting Manny, as Manny's his mando. NO WAY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 The judges, the ref, the commission were all on crack during the Barrera/Marquez fight there is no way in hell that Marquez won 119-108, 115-111, 117-110 what the hell were they watching were they all drunk or what? Barrera won the first three rounds but even then it was still too close to call when both fighters were going 3 minutes of total nonstop slugging throwing crazy punches and not just boring jabs to keep distance but insane numbers of power punches and combos up close something like 100 per round especially when they heard the end of the round call which resulted in both fighters throwing combos like crazy! They both were in the middle of the ring for the fight up until the round 10 when they finally got tired and began to clinch. Round 7 is controversal due to the questionable knockdown where both guys gave everything they had in one punch with Barrera connecting with a left but Marquez missing and "slipped and fell" with his punch and was in frozen animation for like a minute on all fours then Barrera hit him while he was down. The ref did not call it a knockdown nor gave a penalty but the judges took notice. From round 8-12 it was again back to being too close to call with both guys thinking they had to throw every combo they known out there at hyper speed to steal a round and apparently Marquez won those rounds with his power punches and aggression. When you see somebody dazed and confused with their ass sticking up in the air expecting some anal you better damn well call the fight off! The fight should of ended at round 7. If anything it should of been a draw. As Emmanuel Stewart said "I'm confused" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a parade and people get drunk how isn't it the same type of celebrated holiday? When people comment about either holiday they think of one thing, beer not of independence day or leprechauns chasing snakes off the island using a box of lucky charms no they think of buying expensive imported beer from that celebrated country. Its the same deal cause capitalism says so. Yeah I guess having the rematch on the same day as the boss's big fight would not be a good idea since Marquez/Barrera 2 would be a better fight.

According to Mason Dixon they will. I hope they do anyway, I miss the days of network boxing. When I started following the sport there would be regular weekend fight cards on both CBS & ABC with Fox getting in on the act every now and again. It disappeared entirely for awhile but returned on NBC in 2003/4. Supposedly the ratings for that series were good, the fights themselves definitly were entertaining, but it never returned.
