So the Geale/Mundine is on for January next year and already Mundine has run his mouth and pissed off a ton of people. Spouted his racist stuff again and everyone in Australia wants Geale to win now. I will give him one thing, he is good at selling a fight because a heap of people will want to see him get KOed. This PPV should break the Australia PPV record.

Absolutely gutted for Hatton .

 

[The Cork]

Shameful performance, what the fuck was he trying to headhunt for.

 

[Prodigy]

No idea. Shouldn't of returned in my eyes, will always be a legend though, what other British fighter can draw crowds like that? Even Mayweather and Pacman would struggle to have their own following similar to Hatton's.

Least he won his most important fight with drink and drugs though, and hopefully he trains a lot of quality fighters.

 

[Troy]

In the end he just shouldn't have returned, losing your last fight to one of the greatest fighters is better than losing to this guy. Had a great career though just a bit of a sad ending as you said it is good that he has now won the battle against drugs and alcohol.

Great win for Austin Trout over Miguel Cotto which is arguably his biggest win to date. He is now undefeated in 26 fights and is the WBA Light Middleweight Title. Anthony Mundine once had the chance to fit him but ducked him because he knew he would lose. This should be a great launching pad for him to start trying to unify a couple of the titles in that division.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez IV is on tomorrow. Good to see them having another fight as I thought that Marquez did just enough to beat Pacman last time they fought just over a year ago. Since their last fight both fighters have only fought once. Pacman suffered that controversial defeat to Timothy Bradley whereas Marquez beat Fedchenko to win the Interim WBO Light Welterweight Title.

Who will you be cheering on?

 

[Troy]

Marquez knocked out Pacman cold in the sixth round of their fight with a massive right after taking him down in the third round as well. Marquez said before the fight that he was screwed last time and he showed that he was the better fighter again tonight. Great performance by him and it will be interesting to see where they go from here as I am sure Pacman would want a rematch right away but then again maybe Pacman will want to retire.

So much for the Mayweather/Pacman fight. Even if it happens it won't have the same feel it would have had before Pac lost this fight. Losing this fight was one thing but losing it via knockout is very damaging.

 

[Troy]

True, the loss against Bradley didn't end up meaning anything because of the controversy over the decision but this brutal KO is a big step back for that super fight. I assume that Pacman, if he still wants to fight, would want Marquez right away and then maybe Bradley to avenge that loss as well.

 

[PHX]

I think this win for Marquez could and should mean Marquez/Mayweather 2. So probably will see Pac vs Bradley 2 which if Pac loses that fight esp the way he lost this Marquez fight that might be the final nail in the coffin.

 

[Prodigy]

Saw this coming. Great win for Marquez.

 

[The Cork]

Surprised Pac got up after the first knockdown, it was a nasty right hook.

Marquez will probably retire now I think, he only really hung around the last couple of years to try and get revenge on Pac. Can't see Pacquiao retiring on a loss though, they'll prol feed him some soft touch or even give him the Bradley rematch.

 

[Prodigy]

Winner of Khan vs Molina should fight Pacman. Hope Khan wins and then fights Manny and get's fked up.

Daniel Geale put on a clinic last night beating Anthony Mundine in a unanimous points decision, 117-111 117-111 and 116-112. Personally I thought that it was 118-110 because Geale just controlled the whole fight but I am just happy that Geale won after he was screwed in their first fight. Geale also showed what a class act he was after the fight by giving Mundine credit for the fight. Mundine on the other hand showed why he is hated by 99% of Australians by walking out of the ring immediately after the decision was announced. He has taken too many punches to his head if he thought that he won that fight. Geale next fights the winner of Soliman-Sturm.

Kimbo Slice also fought on the card and won in a second round KO. The first round was brutal with both guys unloading massives shots to the chin but neither guy going down. In the end a punch from Kimbo to the midsection finished the fight.
