    I like the UFC as well. Not too keen on long wrestling matches though.

    The best thing about the UFC and MMA generally, is that the top guys all have to fight each other. There are no padded records, and all the top guys have lost at least one fight to each other.
    Goog point about top ranked fighters fighting each other.

    There is one fighter I'll watch and that's Rhonda Rousey. Up until now I watch her fights just to see how quickly she gets the arm bar in. Now I'm interested in seeing her fight somebody that's powerful enough to keep away from it.

    After the Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Leonard era of boxing I'm of the age where boxing and specifically the welterweights is the type and weight level of boxing I like to watch.
    Hey SK do ya think you could go the distance with her under sheets
    Would love to give it a shot but fear of failure would cause me to have to take a pass ...
    Really SK? can you think of a better way to die?

    Well I never knew that....

    James DeGale became the first British fighter to win Olympic gold and a professional world title, defeating Andre Dirrell on Saturday to claim the vacant International Boxing Federation super-middleweight crown.

    The 29-year-old Londoner knocked down the American twice in the second round, Dirrell having tasted the canvas only once before in his career, and won a unanimous decision by judges scores of 114-112, 114-112 and 117-109.

    "I'm speechless. What can I say?" DeGale said. "My whole career, what I've been building to is winning the world title.

    "It's a wonderful feeling. I'm world champ. I made history."

    DeGale, who won the 2008 Beijing Olympic middleweight title, improved to 21-1 by winning the southpaw showdown in his US debut.

    Me either. Wish I'd seen the fight though. Sounds like DeGale had him out on his feet in the 2nd round but allowed him back in the fight, and had to rally in the last 2 rounds to get the verdict.

    Yeah for me too it was some thing of a nothing fight and nearly certain to go to the judges decision s, as for the Brook V Gavern fight I have no idea about TV , that too for me will go the distance, Gavern although hardly an household name could give Brook all he can handle Although I have to give it to Brook , Getting back to Khan I guess the drums will now be beating for A mega money fight with Mayweather , will it come off ? you tell me!

    The remarks in the article are the best part. Sounds like Khan and Algieri would both be an easy payday for Mayweather.

    "Two-time world champion Khan used his speed and counter punches to keep Algieri at bay for much of the fight, the American landing a strong combination early in the eighth round but unable to connect often enough to claim victory."

    So him vs Mayweather would be a bag of laughs then.

    Floyd Mayweather stripped of WBO title won from Pacquiao

    Five-weight world champion Floyd Mayweather has been stripped of the WBO welterweight belt won from Manny Pacquiao in May.



    The 38-year-old failed to pay the WBO a $200,000 (£128,000) fee to administer the fight by the 3 July deadline.

    Mayweather had been expected to relinquish the title by now, saying he planned to do so following his points victory over Pacquiao.

    Fellow American Timothy Bradley will now become the full belt holder.

    After Mayweather defeated Pacquiao, he had declared he would vacate all his titles in order to give younger fighters the chance to win belts.

    "The WBO World Championship Committee is allowed no other alternative but to cease to recognize Mr Floyd Mayweather Jr as the WBO welterweight champion of the world and vacate his title." said a statement on wboboxing.com.

    Mayweather, who still holds the WBA and WBC belts at welterweight, has until 20 July to appeal against the decision.

    He is expected to stage one more fight in Las Vegas on 12 September, although he has yet to name the opponent.

    The WBO created a vacant interim welterweight belt for the 27 June fight between Bradley and Jessie Vargas.

    ^ Who cares?

    Anyone watch UFC 189? OMG! I've watched them all - that was by far and away the best one... I am a big Mc G fan.

    *Rory got his face re-arranged, but prop to the lad - showed real grit!
    his technique is perfect, just something missing... can't put my finger on it.

    Yeah have to concur by far the best UFC show ever , that last punch to the already broken nose of Rory's was sickening ,the slow motion reply showed that it was'nt a clean KO cos he went down through sheer agony , not long now before Rhonda Rousey squares off with the unbeaten Brazilian fighter , in my book Rhonda must be right up there with the all time greats of either sex .

    Thanks for the tip Kmart ,I was unaware there was a thread on UFC but I found the thread in the sports section and it made good reading ,back to the noble art , should be a barn burner in Manchester on Sat night when my home towns Scott Quigg defends his portion of the World super Bantam weight against the teak hard Kiko Martinez ,for me its a 50 50 fight and will be no walk in the park for young Scott to say the least .

    Sorry, Kmart bro... *I was a bit rude... I love boxing too!

    I meant I didn't care that Gayweather was stripped of his belt. I still respect the man as one of the best pound for pound greats of the sport.
    Must admit, he's much less arrogant than he used to be too!

    ^No worries, mate. I don't care about Mayweather much either. Not outside of a boxing ring anyway.
    Just that it's good news that he's been stripped of his belt.

    Yup, Sugar Ray... he's the man alright.. just trying to recall the name of a very famous boxer my Grandad was friends with during WWll.. he was like champ in 3 weight divisions.

    I always wonder how those great boxers of the past would go against the new generation of boxers... Tyson vs Ali (or Joe louis) Sugar Ray vs Mayweather, etc...

    It's just speculation of course.. I think Tyson *in his prime, would destroy any other heavyweight.. not a popular view, I know... Tyson's prime was very short though.
    Perhaps the taller boxers (Ali) would outbox him??

    They were real gentlemen in those days long past... Damn, I miss my Grandad.
