name for me a single round that made you get out of your chair and walk out of the room to do anything but a hurried urination in between rounds.

it wasn't a heavyweight fight, k0na. neither boxer is known for their knockout power, so i wasn't expecting any big shots going in. i was expecting an expertly fought fight, and that's what it was. it was great to watch the replays where de la hoya would go into one of those flurries with mayweather on the ropes and the crowd was going nuts only for the slow-mo replay to show that mayweather blocked or eluded almost all of the punches and then countered with two or three shots to the head and moved away.

ufc's brutality is the only thing that makes it interesting...
most of the dudes fight for those peanuts cause they couldn't make it in the boxing game.
two cats roll around on a mat till one gets his arms pined, and the other can wail away on dudes face till the ref stops it.
^ ufc in a nutshell.

i know mattyd.
i love boxing, i really do, but lets face it, if dlh wasn't throwing those punches you'd have just watched a 1-0 soccer match with only 3 shots on goal the whole time.
for a title fight that was hyped up as much as this one was i expected more. much more. and for all the trash talking mayweather did i was expecting him to have have a bit more offense.

"Mayweather dominated the entire fight. I am sorry he didn’t kill De La Hoya in the ring."
No one was looking for a killing, just a more exciting fight. I think we can all at least agree on that...

(May 7 07, 08:38)that's a perfect analogy because there is nothing wrong with a 1-0 soccer match with only three shots on goal because that means it was a defensive battle with both teams not giving an inch. it is like watching a human chess match mixed with style and grace that truly makes it 'the beautiful game'.
i'm totally fucking with you.

and fyi, no knock downs, no one hurt equals bad fight.
alwys.
the purists may dig it, but the masses dont. ...that's kinda the problem with boxing now.
...that and and the lack of a single good heavyweight.

boring fight, but Mayweather's defense was fucking awesome... his rope work really was pretty sick. But I was bored to tears for a good 90% of that fight.
Golden Boy post fight interview = class act
Mayweather post fight interview = classic asshole just like he always is.

(May 7 07, 08:52)i pretty sure he's trying to play that character for future $$$.
...maybe it comes natural.

what was up with his uncle always staying after the round had started in his corner eating shit? did you guys see this? The ref had to go to his corner and kick him out a few times...

Because of the "brutality," UFC will never be given full credit in comparison to boxing, yet the required skills are on a completely even stage IMO.
Just because the gloves are lighter in MMA and people get knocked out easier doesn't mean less training is required.

Oh - and why would Mayweather retire after this? Considering they fight like once a year, wouldn't you just keep doing it and beating oppononents left and right?

--------------------------I'm pretty sure it comes natural. He runs around here like he owns the fucking city; treats club staff like shit, takes his thug ass entourage to the hoop courts and people just end up leaving when they see him show up because they know what's going to ensue.
