Cotto/Margarito 2 in just 2 days, I can't wait for this fight.

indeed!

Margarito wins again IMO.

 

[teh_fuzz]

well cotto has changed trainers so that may play for or against him... and it has been a few years since their last fight so the fight can go either way.

Margarito feels like he has to prove something - that he ca win a fight without cheating
Cotto wants to prove that he can withstand the onslaught he received in the later rounds of their last fight and that his technical style will win over the brute stamina and strength on margarito.

 

[dkwrtw]

It's clear to me that Cotto doesn't even want to be in this fight, he's already tried and failed to find a way out of it, he doesn't want any part of Margarito and likely won't be bringing his A Game.

Woohoo! Going boxing on Feb 10! Kevin Mitchell v Stephen Ormond - York Hall , Bethnal Green, London, just down the road from me, missus is buying me a ticket. Heart of the famous east end boxing, supporting a fellow hammer against an unbeaten Irish guy, going to be a big West Ham party!

Didn't get tickets in the end but am watching the Mitchell fight on shortly, gutted I couldn't make it, York Hall full of West Ham supporters = best boxing atmosphere! COYI!!!

Great fight that, didn't get drawn in by his opponent and the crown in a risky toe to toe, kept his cool and an effective jab, hopefully a world title shot against Ricky Burns next though I think he still needs to improve for that.

I missed the fight Pete! Sounds good though. Mitchell Vs. Burns would be a good fight assuming Burns gets through his next fight okay!

Looking forward to watching:

Vitali Klitschko Vs. Derek Chisora [WBC Heavyweight Title]

Although it's going to be a one sided fight it's always good to see a Brit fighting for a world title.

Vitali is going to lay waste to this guy, nobody in today's HW division belongs in the ring with the Klitschkos.

Agree'd.

 

[dkwrtw]

Klitschko is going to END this piece of shit

[Springsteen]

One of two things will happen.

Klitschko will either knock him out in about 17 seconds or toy with him for 8 rounds before knocking the living daylights out of him.

 

[dkwrtw]

I want to see the beating drawn out for at least a couple rounds.

 

[Joey]

Backing The Brit of Course! Chisora for the win!

 

[dkwrtw]

The Klitschko brothers will always have my full support

They are well oiled machines!

 

[dkwrtw]

The Klitschko's are among the most accomplished human beings on the planet, they embody everything that is RIGHT about boxing, and the human race in general. I'm pretty sure they bang eachother though.

 

[Springsteen]

Haha we get the fight for free, basically the channel that's showing it had problems taking subscriptions for the fight so had to screen it for free. Good times.

 

[Springsteen]

Vitali wins on points. Better fight than I expected and Chisora made the body shots work. Chisora gave a very good account of himself and should take a lot from it, Klitschko fought professionally overall and was the better boxer overall. Very good fight overall.

Edit : What a prick Frank Warren is.
