Can never be taken seriously in the heavyweight division. Gatekeeper at best. |
Yup. Arreola just seems content now. After every loss, he keeps promising he's "re-dedicated" to the sport he loves, but I haven't seen any improvements at all, from when he first got ko'd by Klistchko. In fact, he possibly looks even worse than prior to Klitschko.

Ok, I haven't read the news yet, but apparently Floyd vs. Berto is pretty much done. And it will be on CBS. Not sure advertisers will really pay for spots, but the amount of revenue generated from the fight against Manny was probably enough to just go for the final show on free tv. Les taking a chance on this one.

Good video. Berto is a funny man. No mention of a venue.

Don't wanna forget to post, but there's boxing this weekend and all three (3) cards are being televised:

Really tempted to go to Brian Viloria's fight, since it's at Florentine Gardens.

Gennady Golovkin, David Lemieux agree to Oct. 17 fight at MSG
| Quote: | Middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin's goal for years has been to unify belts, but boxing's most fearsome puncher has not been able to convince any of the other belt holders or big names to face him.
Until now.
Montreal slugger David Lemieux, also one of boxing's biggest hitters, will meet Golovkin to unify their 160-pound world titles Oct. 17 in an HBO PPV main event at Madison Square Garden in New York, K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter, and Golden Boy's Oscar De La Hoya, who represents Lemieux, said Saturday.
It's a match that figures to be explosive -- a big drama show, as Golovkin would say -- between two of boxing's most crowd-pleasing and aggressive fighters, both of whom possess devastating punching power.
"In one word: finally," Loeffler told ESPN.com. "We've gone to great lengths to try to put unification fights together for Gennady. We have to give Lemieux and Golden Boy a lot of credit for stepping up to the plate. Gennady will not underestimate Lemieux. He is the biggest puncher he will have ever faced, and Gennady will be the biggest puncher Lemieux will have ever faced.
"It is a great unification fight between two champions and the two biggest punchers in the middleweight division. If Lemieux wins, he takes over the spot as the best middleweight in the world, and if Gennady wins, he stays the best middleweight in the world."
Lemieux said he is looking forward to the matchup of two powerful punchers.
"This is the fight that all the fans and the world wants to see," he said. "I hope and expect this will be the best fight of the last five years. There will be blood. It's going to be exciting."
Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), 33, of Kazakhstan and living in Los Angeles, has knocked out 20 opponents in a row, including all 14 in his title defenses. The 26-year-old Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is also a blistering puncher. But although he dropped Hassan N'Dam four times in their June 20 fight for a vacant world title in Montreal, Lemieux won a unanimous decision.

Middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin's goal for years has been to unify belts, but boxing's most fearsome puncher has not been able to convince any of the other belt holders or big names to face him.

Lemieux said he is looking forward to the matchup of two powerful punchers.
"This is the fight that all the fans and the world wants to see," he said. "I hope and expect this will be the best fight of the last five years. There will be blood. It's going to be exciting."
Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), 33, of Kazakhstan and living in Los Angeles, has knocked out 20 opponents in a row, including all 14 in his title defenses. The 26-year-old Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is also a blistering puncher. But although he dropped Hassan N'Dam four times in their June 20 fight for a vacant world title in Montreal, Lemieux won a unanimous decision.
Shortly after Lemieux's title victory, which came just a month after Golovkin knocked out Willie Monroe in the sixth round of a one-sided title defense May 16, Loeffler and De La Hoya began talking about making the fight.
Initially, De La Hoya and Lemieux co-promoter Camille Estephan of Eye of the Tiger said that while they were interested in a unification fight with Golovkin they preferred to have Lemieux make his mandatory defense in the fall -- even though the identity of the mandatory challenger has not even been determined -- and wait to face Golovkin in 2016.
"What changed my mind and everyone involved is that Lemieux can beat GGG, so why even waste our time with the mandatory? Let's go straight to GGG," De La Hoya told ESPN.com. "He has a real shot at beating him. And this is the big fight he wanted, and when we presented this fight to him he was ecstatic.
"Lemieux is fired up. He says, 'Nobody has ever pushed Golovkin back. He does not know how to fight going back.' Lemieux has a beautiful jab, and he is going to use it."
Lemieux said he will show the world what he can do against Golovkin.
"Everyone should be ready to have a new man to fear in the middleweight division," Lemieux said. "I am well aware of what kind of power I am facing, but I'm not worried about it. It's going to be a war. I know he's going to come to fight. He might break my nose, but I'm going break his too.
"I've said very honestly that I don't care who I fight, so long as they are the best, and Golovkin is the best out there in the middleweight division. And I consider myself fully of his caliber. I don't want any easy fights. GGG is the fight that people want to see. He wants me, then he'll get me. On the 17th, it's going to be fireworks. I want history. I want big, big things. And this is another big step."
Golovkin's fan base has grown quickly since he came to fight for the first time in the United States in 2012, as he stormed through a series of top contenders, knocking out the likes of former titleholder Daniel Geale, Martin Murray, Matthew Macklin, Gabriel Rosado, Curtis Stevens and Monroe. Now, he and Lemieux will fight on pay-per-view for the first time, but fight organizers have high hopes because of Golovkin's burgeoning fan base, reputation as must-see TV and the fact that he has a serious opponent in front of him.
"When you talk about getting bang for your buck it doesn't get any better than this," De La Hoya said. "When you think about the pay-per-view numbers we're being real here. This is not a million-selling pay-per-view. We're thinking along the lines of between 350,000 and 500,000 buys. You have to start somewhere, and this is a perfect fight for both guys to start off on pay-per-view. Obviously, we are going to stack the card like there's no tomorrow. We want to give the fans bang for their buck."
De La Hoya said it will be a four-fight telecast, and while they are working on the specific matches, flyweight champion Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (43-0, 37 KOs), of Nicaragua, is likely to be in one of the fights, Loeffler said. Gonzalez was a big hit fighting on HBO for the first time on Golovkin's May 16 undercard, where he looked sensational in knocking out former junior flyweight titlist Edgar Sosa in the second round.
Golovkin drew a crowd 8,572 to Madison Square Garden for the fight with Geale, a third-round knockout, last July. Two of his last three fights (the other was in Monte Carlo) have been in Southern California, where he drew a wild crowd of 12,372 to the Forum in Inglewood in May and an arena-record crowd of 9,323 to the StubHub Center in Carson for his second-round knockout of Rubio last October.
We put a very fair deal together for Lemieux and Golden Boy, and the Garden put in a very strong offer to get Gennady back," Loeffler said. "They saw his success in Los Angeles and they wanted him back in New York."
The crowd total figures to grow even larger with Golovkin's return to New York because of his popularity combined with Lemieux having his own fan base in Montreal, which is only a few hours by car from New York.
"New York is not a very far trip from Montreal," De La Hoya said. "We expect a lot of fans from Canada and a lot of fans there for Gennady. Without a doubt it will be a sold-out arena."
The making of the fight solidifies what amounts to a de facto 160-pound tournament. Golovkin and Lemieux will unify their world titles, and by virtue of Golovkin also holding an interim belt, the winner will be the mandatory challenger for the winner of the fight between champion Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez, who are in the final stages of finalizing their fight, which will take place on either Nov. 7 or Nov. 21, either in Las Vegas or New York.

Kovalev's a beast. He fights with anger I haven't seen in quite some time. I give his next opponent, who ever it is, little chance to win.
Gennandy will make short wok of Lemieux.

| Gonzales was robbed in the Pascal fight. I gave Pascal only 3 rounds. The judges all only gave Gonzales 2 rounds. Something shady going on here. Edi t saw the cards and they gave Gonzalez 4 rounds. |

I'll spring. It won't be the Mayweather vs Pacquiao price. Those two have made their last dollar from me.

According to Rafael, Cotto-Alvarez will be in November on the 21st at Mandalay Bay. MGM Grand wanted the fight but canelo and cotto didn't wanna fight under all the Floyd (bleep) everywhere. They both lost to him at the MGM Grand, so MGM said fight at Man Bay instead.
Cotto wanted New York but Canelo didn't like the tax hit he'd take fighting there. So they went with no state tax Nevada instead. It'll be PPV and with enough space in between Golovkin vs Lemeuiex. I think Chocolatito Gonzalez is gonna be on that Golovkin card also. |

Cotto wanted New York but Canelo didn't like the tax hit he'd take fighting there. So they went with no state tax Nevada instead. It'll be PPV and with enough space in between Golovkin vs Lemeuiex. I think Chocolatito Gonzalez is gonna be on that Golovkin card also. |
We went from not getting the PPV's we wanted, in the past few years, to getting 3 PPV's that are worth the money on paper...(although, the 1st PPV was one that we all wished we didn't pay for....and I got lucky there was an issue with mine).

Just because Rousey vs. Correa is Saturday, I guess it doesn't mean Al Haymon felt the need to move a card that wouldn't be a big seller anyway?
http://fightnights.com/boxing-schedule
Still interesting to me because I actually think Paulie Pillow Hands has a decent chance against Danny, as long as he can avoid his shots. I don't think Danny is as fast as Shawn Porter, so if Paulie can stick and move, and keep high activity level, he could win or end up getting shafted like Herrera and Peterson did, against Garcia.
Also, Mora is a tough fight for Jacobs. Mora is like Paulie of the middleweight division, but not quite as entertaining as Paulie.
Nonetheless, even though I'm not at work and am home fighting a stomach bug, had to get my peeps the schedule and remind you guys that there's still boxing tomorrow.

A bit disheartening. Rousey get's a PPV, GGG doesn't. Name recognition must carry a lot of weight.

he's getting it in a few months. PPV is supposed to be for the bet fighting the best ......
Haymon did us a favor by booking Staples in late August (Mares v Santa Cruz) instead of that horse (bleep) Shane Mosley is gonna try to throw at the Forum. And it's a PPV. |

hopefully Malignaggi calls it a career .... those pillow hands don't fear anyone at 147. Gotta how some sort of power. Garcia just broke him down. Another good name on his resume. Now what is he gonna do once he do up against Thurman or Porter and maybe Peterson again
Mora - Jacobs was a great first round before the injury. Looked like Jacobs was starting to turn up the heat. |

IA dough, he needs to stick to commentating.
I thought Jacobs was in for one hell-of-a fight. Two knock downs in round 1. I was surprised he rejected a rematch so quickly.
Ronda Rousey reminds me of a early Mike Tyson. Don't look for a long night, don't go to the hot dog stand or blink. It took 34 seconds for her to disperse of Beth Correia LINK

Paulie has already shown to be way better with his mouth, than his punching. He probably punches harder with his ish talking!
Mora shocked me that he actually knocked someone down! He's the pillow hands of the middleweights. Jacobs only loss was via KO, which I remember (prior to his cancer), so I think he had to automatically reject a rematch because he has a big payday coming up against Kid Chocolate (assuming Haymon actually puts that together).
Ronda Rousey is a beast. I'm almost as big a fan of MMA as boxing.

Quigg vs. Donaire in England on 11/21?
http://goo.gl/3ogFE2
That would be an awesome afternoon fight to watch, prior to the Cotto vs. Canelo PPV in the evening.
