Great fight card this weekend

"IRON" DD · 12-10-2003, 02:09 PM

How about the fights this weekend? I think this is without a doubt the best of the year. Here's my picks:

Hopkins TKO Joppy (rd 8)
Mayorga KO Spinks (rd 4)
Rachman UD Ruiz

What do you think?

javier_83 · 12-10-2003, 02:13 PM

Hopkins TKO Joppy in 10

Mayorga TKO Spinks in 6

Rachman UD Ruiz

bigjas · 12-10-2003, 03:39 PM

Hopkins MD Joppy

Mayorga KO Spinks (rd 9)

Ruiz KO Rahman (rd 6)

"IRON" DD · 12-10-2003, 05:16 PM

Bigjas what makes you think Ruiz will ko Rahman? I am not being beligerent, just wondering. I think Ruiz is the biggest discrace to ever be a world champion at heavy (even if it was just a paper title). I don't know why he keeps getting these big fights. I hope he gets KO'd just so I don't have to watch him fight anymore. Do you know something I don't about this fight? Please let me know. Rahman was way overweight in his last fight.

Too bad Comcast., in their infinite wisdom, decided not to give their basic cable customers PPV anymore (at least in my area). So I can't watch it...

Xury · 12-12-2003, 10:27 PM

I'd rather watch it at a sports bar anyway...

Mayorga is so much fun to watch - an animal! Spinks seems confident - does he have a shot?

PittPanther · 12-12-2003, 10:58 PM

I hate watching fights at sports bars. . .

12-12-2003, 11:27 PM

Hopkins, Mayorga, Rahman, all by KO.

Well it depends. If the fight goes beyond the 4th, then Rahman will win the fight. I'm just going on a hunch that Ruiz will get a lucky shot in on Rahman, and Rahman will get a swelling on his head or something.

Well, I'm helping a friend move tomorrow, so no sports bar option. Would have been nice to have been able to tape it and watch it when I got home...but oh well.

BrocktonBlockBuster · 12-13-2003, 04:23 AM

I think we'll learn alot about Rahmann and Ruiz in this fight. No more excuses for the loser.

Hey, what are the other fights on the card?

Will they show the Gonzalez fight?

Rosendo Alvarez - Jose Victor Burgos 12 (WBA JFLY Title)
Luis Alberto Perez - Felix Machado 12 (IBF JBW Title)
Wayne Braithwaite - Luis Andres Pineda 12 (WBC CW Title)
Mario Preskar v Knowledge Bey 4 (HW)

Hell of a card, but why do they always tack on these lame heavyweight 4-rounders?

Sertorius · 12-13-2003, 10:39 PM

What do the more knowledgable people here think of the Garcia knockout? Was it his fault for not protecting himself, or was it a dodgy punch on the break?

darthpb · 12-14-2003, 12:52 AM

What do you think now? The only thing more disappointing than the bouts tonight are the SUCKY ANNOUNCERS!!!!!!

darthpb · 12-14-2003, 12:55 AM

Corey is better than Leon already but Micheal was sooooo underrated...I was soooo disappointed with the Tyson fight. Lost big money that night...

BrocktonBlockBuster · 12-14-2003, 01:01 AM

Yes the Garcia knockout was his own fault. Almost identical to what Demsey did to Jack Sharkey. Simms was out boxing him anyway I thought.
