Thread: World wide boxing news

Thanks for that Blue, Just further pressure for Froch to sign for the "rematch" (as if there was not enough already!) whether Carl will heed it is quite another story ,but for sure it will only add to the wide held view that Froch does not fancy the job ,Carl so far has been a credit to the "noble art" no doubt about it ,but for myself and other boxing fans it kinda puts a huge question mark on him in the twilight of his career too I may add, Eddie Hearn appears to thing he can get the fight ,and with the promise of a mega payday personally I think it could well happen , this talk of a Froch V Julio Chavez Jr is totally meaningless to fans at our side of the pond ,and anyway Chavez has to beat Brian Vera in his upcoming return fight, which judging of the last fight they had will be no game of domino's for Chavez

Great news, i always admired Frosch but the babyish rejection of a rematch with silly excuses was never on the table and now i reckon many will NOT boo GG into the ring but maybe boo the champ who tried to chicken out.

Agree with most of the comments here re: Froch.

He never struck me as someone who would duck a fight but this is leaving a blotch on his record imo.

If they do rematch, Froch will come in with a bit more knowledge of what he has before him, and win in a similar-ish fashion; probably keep closer on the scorecard then knock Groves out around the 10th round.

I think Froch is much the better pugilist. I can see him winning a rematch handily. Groves got to him big time in the run up to the first bout.

In This game there are not many certainty's, Boxing is littered with Shock results , Froch without a doubt is a solid Pro and the New kid on the Block Groves is not without a good chance of reversing the last result , this is why the match is so intriguing to us boxing buffs , this match up if it happens will be one of the biggest in Britain for quite some time and a mega payday for both of them as a bonus .

Well after a month or so of speculation it would appear its a done deal Between Amir Khan V Floyd Mayweather Win or lose its a win win situation for Khan as the money he will receive will make his Bank Manager very happy indeed ,IMHO its just another easy payday for "money" cos there is nothing in Khan's armoury which will upset him, and Khan could hardly have a "punchers" chance in my view , here is the write up ,Floyd Mayweather v Amir Khan: $200m fight will happen in Las Vegas - EXCLUSIVE | Mail Online

I thought at the end of the day there would be a "rematch", there,s just too much money involved, and with Froch reported to receiving 85% of the purse it just has to be a huge incentive for it to happen ,the whole UK boxing fraternity and no doubt all boxing buffs on this forum are waiting for both fighters to sign on the dotted ,its not a done deal as yet but the signs are it will be before long ,here is what "bad left hook" thinks Froch vs Groves rematch being targeted for May 31, Hearn working to close deal soon - Bad Left Hook

Al consider this , Maybe it's a ploy on his behalf playing "hard to get" to up the anti for his purse ,if it is it seems to working quite well

Quite true Al ,and many good fighters can "walk the walk" too, which is somewhat different than many Politicians Eh

Golovkin does it again in stopping his 15th straight opponent in 7 , who next is the question , here is a fascinating insight into Golovkin by one of his previous opponents Mathew Macklin himself a world class fighter Boxing News | Macklin: I can’t see Adama making it past round 7 or 8

Dead Puerto Rican boxer posed standing in the ring for wake
Mourners who came to 23-year-old Christopher Rivera Amaro's wake in San Juan on Friday found him posed as if ready to fight.
January 31, 2014



SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Even in death, Christopher Rivera Amaro almost looked ready to box, leaning against the corner of a simulated ring.
Mourners who came to his wake in San Juan on Friday found him posed afoot, a yellow hood on his head, sunglasses glasses over his eyes and blue boxing gloves on his hands.
Elsie Rodriguez, vice president of the Marin Funeral Home, said Rivera's family wanted to stress his boxing. The funeral home suggested posing him in a ring.
The 23-year-old Rivera had a 5-15 record in the 130-pound weight class.
Police said he was shot dead Sunday in the city of Santurce

Maybe Floyd Mayweather will be 10 million Dollars down shortly as there is a strong rumour going round that he bet 10 million dollars for the Denver Bronco's to win the Super bowl against the Seattle Seahawks, at this moment in time the Seahawks are leading 29 points to a big zero Floyd Mayweather Places $10 Million Bet On THIS Team For The Super Bowl? [PHOTO]

That would be the best thing about the shitty game. The biggest blow out in super bowl history.

Good question. Like the article says, he probably won't go down in weight. Dunno how much Sergio Martinez has left in the tank after knee and hand surgery either, so he might go up to challenge Andre Ward? That would be a terrific match-up.

Yeah I concur, a Smoothie like Martinez could cause Golovkin all sorts of problems ,but as far as I am aware Martinez's next fight will be against Miguel Cotto ,for me as you say Ward is the obvious choice ,IMHO the move up in weight should not pose any problems as he probably goes into the ring on fight night at over 12 stone anyway , for sure a Ward V GGG fight is a mouth waterer, and in my view could well happen if the right amount of money is put on the table .

This an extremely enlightening article on the George groves saga, Comments as always are appreciatedBoxing News | Report says George Groves has asked BBB of C to change his loss to Froch into a No Contest

Mayweathers next opponent ?

This one is good for a laugh, looks like Amir Khan almost had the gig , after sitting on his arse waiting for the payday.
However the Mayweather camp, after reading stinging criticism of khans worth and worthiness in blogs and media worldwide , have put out a public vote .

khan or maidena? results sunday night

looks like maidena is ahead ( -assuming it's all above board )

leading khan to say

Mayweather says he needs a easy fight and fans want to see a knock out so maybe thats the reason he doesn't want fight me n wants Maidana ??

oh well if khans misses out he can always start boxing again, after his year out waiting , maybe fight Adrien Broner - more his class,
or he could just wait some more hoping for floyde's September vacancy and spend the meantime calling out Mayweather and avoiding losing again himself.

For sure Blue Madana has a punchers chance and that,s about all, what we all wanna see is a fight with the "Pac man" and if he can beat Bradley in the return match who is to bet it won't happen? , Khan lately has been "talking the talk" on twitter but no one is listen according to the voting which is massively in favour of Madana , Khan for me has to show he's a worthwhile opponent at the weight, so far he's not done it so lets just wait and see who he fights next if the Mayweather fight falls through which is more than likely .

Let Madana fight Khan, while Floyd fights a chump, waiting for the next big one. Then who is next Manny or the winner of Khan Madana. I cant see Khan going more than 5 rounds with either. Sorry but an opinion if offensive. No chin, too defensive, not really a killer punch or a "real " fighter, and both can stop him running. Floyd cuts him off and boom boom boom. Madana simply hunts him down and hurts him.

Floyd always is paid the big bucks with showtime. So the rest is gravy for him.
