I am surprised that no one has started this thread yet.

I know this is an MMA website but I bet that there are some Boxing Fans out there.

I just love the sport of fighting in general and I have been raised by boxing.

So in this Thread we can discuss the "Sweet Science"

such as
Past Fights
Upcoming Events
Favorite Fighters
and Historical Figures in the Sport


Because like MMA in the US, Boxing started out illegal. But where it took MMA less than 25 years to gain the General populations approval, It took boxing over 100 years.

Discuss and have fun.

So good to see Gatti in the HOF.  He's one of my all-time favorite athletes in any sport.

EDIT:  Also, there's been talk here and there lately of a potential Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Adrien Broner matchup.   That's like my number one matchup to make in boxing right now...really hope it happens.

Floyd Mayweather

The negotiations for my fight are almost done. The front runner is IBF Champion Devon Alexander. It'd be a unification bout at welterweight.

Alvarez/Trout about to start. In other news, Tyson Fury, in the other big fight of the day, won by KO in the 7th round against Steve Cunningham.

I'm not gonna say that Canelo winning was a robbery, but the scores were ludicrous. Trout won enough rounds that the spread should have been within 3 or 4 points. 115-112, fine, but the other 2 were just stupid.

Big day for boxing tomorrow. Wladimir Klitschko (59-3) is set to murder....I mean.......take on top contender Francesco Pianeta (28-0-1). Floyd Mayweather (43-0) will defend his WBC welterweight title and look to take The Ring welterweight title in his fight with Robert Guerrero (31-1-1(2)). On the undercard of the Mayweather/Guerrero card, we have Daniel Ponce de Leon (44-4) defending his WBC featherweight title against Abner Mares (25-0-1). 

I got the Impaler via murder. Ponce de Leon's experience should carry him to a pretty difficult decision, probably scorecard of 116-112 or so. Mayweather/Guerrero is intriguing primarily because Mayweather's old, is coming off a jail stint, and hasn't fought in a year. If Mayweather is as good as he was in his last fight, he should beat Guerrero rather convincingly, but there is a chance that he's not the who he used to be in the ring. I think the odds are closer than what the bookies have it at right now (-750/+475). Also, lol at Wlad's betting line. -5000 to +2000. Just....lol.

I hope the best for Robert Guerrero. He is seriously one of my favorite boxers ever. Ever since he knocked out Gamaliel Diaz.. I remember that ****.

So excited for tonight! WAR GUERRERO! Just watched his last fight with Andre Berto again ... Absolute classic. Guerrero looked sick.

Wlad KO Rd 2/3. Ponce de Leon gets the upset over Mares I'm hoping with a brutal early KO. J'Leon Love wins a fixed decision over Rosado with that Mayweather money. FMJ finishes in the distance I'm thinking 9th or 10th round.

WWWWOOOOOOOOOT! Hayden Panitierre. Just saying. Anyway, Klitschko's making it look pretty easy. Go figure. I love watching the Klitschkos though, so it's all good.

Klitschko wins again! 6th round TKO with less than 20 seconds remaining in the round.
