Because it has to be said...
There’s only one Ricky Hatton,
One Ricky Hatton,
Walking along,
Singing a song,
Walking in a Hatton wonderland.
Go, Ricky, go! However it turns out tonight, I think it’s going to be a fantastic fight.

I can attest to this
I was there for Hatton/Mayweather. I was woken up every morning for 4 days to the singing Brits. I dutifully hurried through a shower, got some vodka & sprite from the little shop downstairs, and joined my adopted friends for boozing and singing.

Yeah that was nuts. I was actually supposed to go to that because I only live about 1:15 from Chumash but I decided not to because I had something I had to do last night. I DVR’d it and watched it this morning. That was pretty damn impressive by both men. No shame in losing that fight at all.

It stinks since Ice and I were planning to go trolling over in Carnarsie for a good pinoy bar to watch the fight at. I was really looking forward to that all month.

I was talking to my buddy about this fight...
I think if JMM comes out with the intention of absolutely stinking the joint out he has a chance of winning a narrow decision. When was the last time Floyd was the aggressor against a masterful counterpuncher? Never. I mean obviously JMM is gonna get blown out of he goes on the offensive against Floyd’s counterpunching so why not give it a shot and just absolutely stink the joint out. Floyd needs an impressive performance to bolster his forthcoming big-money PPV fight more than JMM does and maybe he can bait him out with that.
Gimme 1 round!

Not in Marquez’s blood. But then I never thought I’d see Barrera fighting merely to last 12 rounds like he did against Manny in their rematch.
by SC on May 2, 2009 5:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Probably not
But honestly I’d like to see him try it. When Floyd realizes JMM’s stolen a couple rounds and that he’s in a true fight for a decision I’d like to see what it does to him especially with him having to be the aggressor.

I still think Marquez will be competitive in this fight
He may have slowed down a little bit, and Floyd looks like he’s in good shape, but let’s not forget that Marquez is one of the most intelligent boxers out there. I may be wrong but I think he knows it too that he can’t fight aggressively against Floyd and he will probably adapt to Floyd’s style. Whether he can beat Floyd I don’t know, but I think he will be competitive.

Not sure about this
Hatton is tailor-made for Floyd’s countering. Marquez is a pretty good counter-puncher himself.
by Strategos on May 2, 2009 6:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Marquez also looked a bit fat at 135
And doesn’t have the world’s greatest chin, and frankly he’s not as good at avoiding and countering as he used to be – now usually he counters after he gets hit.

He's slowed down
I agree. I still think his ring intelligence still makes him competitive against anybody (within limits!)

Tune up for who though
I just don’t see what Floyd is going to do after JMM. I don’t think he’ll get in there with Cotto,Mosley or the freakish Paul Williams but I do believe he will challenge the smaller Pac-man possibly. We will just have to wait

Alright, I need some second and third opinions
Debating about whether to get the PPV or watch the fight out. Three options:
1) Home
Pros:
- Best seat in the house
- Can go to town on here during the fight
- Probably winds up cheapest if I don’t pre-game
Cons:
- Nobody to go crazy with during the fight
- Just seems a bit boring
- $50 to buy PPV vs $20 for an admission
2) Sports bar
Pros:
- the one I would go to serves BBQ
- Lots of hardcore fight fans
- Not much more expensive than buying the PPV
Cons:
- Out at a restaurant/bar by myself
- If I can’t get a seat, standing for 4 hours
- Probably will be super crowded
- That place is owned by Justin Timberlake (I don’t think I want to support his restaurant habit)
3) Strip club:
Pros:
- Can go out alone and don’t seem too out of place
- Uh, titties in face
Cons:
- Crowd probably won’t be as into the fights, especially the undercard
- Tipping strippers is expensive
- Drinks at strip clubs are super expensive
- It’s NYC, so you still can’t get a real lap dance (although I guess that makes things cheaper)

Speaking of Swine Flu
I go to school in San Antone, exams this week and last. So, we get this idea we’re gonna go to a buddies’ ranch, slaughter a pig and leave it in the school parking lot. I’m in, I got the pick-up and he’s got the ranch with pigs and a rifle. And…then he pulls out. I was ready to cause some mayhem though. I can talk about it now that we’ve abandoned intent

by Brickhaus on May 2, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well the original strain in Mexico had a 7% fatality rate
The flu was too strong for its own good though. It would kill the host before it could infect other people so science’s best guess is that it evolved to have a decreased it virility while increasing its transmission rate.
Just for the record the average flu fatality rate is .01%
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 2, 2009 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's only because it's a new strain and people didn't know what it was
Once you treat it like the regular flu, it doesn’t seem to have that high of a mortality rate. It doesn’t attack the respiratory system and shut things down like Avian flu, which actually is dangerous.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
by Brickhaus on May 2, 2009 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thats the thing
The original strain was way way stronger. Nobody is sure why. The best explanation I found was that it quickly mutated to propagate itself and lost the vast majority of its virility.
Avian flu is definitely a much more “real” threat compared to what this became. Avian flu is like 20% fatal. But, what makes it interesting is we’re not seeing the same thing as they saw in the first generation or 2 of cases in Mexico. So this has become a “what if it hadn’t changed” case.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on May 2, 2009 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And the reason it could be that deadly
Is that for a while (and it might still be doing this) it was killing people with a hyper stimulated immune response. Your body kills you by trying to fight it off and you drown in your own fluids. Thats what the 1918 flu did.
This is treatable with Tamiflu and has decreased its deadly nature already though. I think its good to see how fast the response is to a potential pandemic though.

Though it’s definitely Greek-American food, with some Cuban influence. Spanish, Italian, Greek and Cuban food in Tampa are literally unique to Tampa, can’t really get it the same way anywhere else. My girlfriend was horrified when I took her to get a Cuban sandwich in Tampa.

I only caught the last round, but the announcers indicated it was a close fight. Gallardo was KDed in the second. It was someone Alvarado should have been able to knock out. Alvarado reminds me of a slightly more aggressive version of Kermit Cintron. I don’t like him nearly as much as Bob Arum does.

Getting it in HD.
It really depends on the locale though. A lot of metro areas, especially those that aren’t densely packed, don’t have enough fiber optic cable laid down to have tons of HD channels, and the cable companies need to pick and choose what they can run in HD at any given point since it takes up so much more capacity than regular.

he’s getting hit so little. I’ve seen Gray land maybe one good clean shot all fight. If I’m in Gray’s corner, I tell him to throw like hell, or he’s never going to get another decent payday again. He’s being too boring and defensive for an opponent.

Korobov-Bartinelli R1
Korobov mixes his punches nicely. I hate trying to RBR these fights — we’re more scouting the fave than anything else.
Jesus, now Manny’s saying that he’d be glad Kelly Pavlik is “finishing up his career” if he was managing his career because of the up-and-coming guys. Manny’s losing all credit.
Bartinelli lost his mouthguard with about 20 seconds left. He’s getting drilled in there. He’s landed one punch. These fights are utterly worthless. They could’ve put Mike Alvarado on.

Walker with a roundhouse right, Jacobs doesn’t budge. He’s holding and hitting. Walker just THROWS Jacobs to the ground. That was a ferocious throw. That was near bad judo level. And it was flagrant. And it was bullshit.
Jacobs takes a moment in his corner. That was crap from Walker. They have to fix his cup and for some reason HBO is giving us a close-up.
Walker comes back into the fight pressing and throwing. Good idea. I’m giving Jacobs this round even though it got broken up with a throw.

Jacobs-Walker R4
I like what Walker’s done past his weird rough-housing. Jacobs, though, is far more skilled, and lands a nice combo finishing with a body shot at about 1:20. I think Jacobs might’ve made a mistake taking this fight on SUCH short notice. Walker DRILLED near the end of the round — he dances.
I’m saving my good RBR for the main, for the record. I know this isn’t great, but I have a hard time being psyched so far.

Jacobs-Walker R5
What’s weird and bothers me (to a very mild degree) is Jacobs doesn’t seem to be using his massive height advantage (6’1" to 5’7") to the degree he could be.
He is pretty easily winning this fight. Little firefight breaks out at 2:30, won by Jacobs because he got out of it nicely. Good skills. That’s what skills do. Walker is tough, though — kind of a dick, but hey, so’s Hatton.

Crowd’s filling up. Jacobs is winning this without much trouble — pretty predictable. Walker at least came to fight (again). I feel that’s worth repeating given Gray’s alleged performance.
Walker GUNNING with about 30 seconds out. He’s just too short. Jacobs can lean and avoid. Good defense at the end of the round by DJ.

Soto’s technical skills are “eh” — if Gaudet can beat him, it’s in that fight. Left hook by Soto. Long rights from Soto send Gaudet retreating. Gaudet trying to match hand speed in flurries, but not power. Soto round.
Soto 10-9
Soto 20-18

So what if he makes a scoring mistake
Like the judge that scored Pacquiao JMM 1 rd 1 10-7?
Gimme 1 round!

That makes me remember
That at the time nobody knew just HOW GOOD JMM really was. That fight is crazy in hindsight.
Gimme 1 round!

I had a feeling Pacman was special
Maybe not one of the best fighters of the last 30 years special… But sorta special. I had no idea I was watching 2 future legends
Gimme 1 round!

Any weight. And it’s a good argument. Four lineal titles, six titles overall.

Okay...
Ali, Tyson, Mayweather, Tyson, Leonard, Tyson, Robinson, Tyson, That Cinderella homo, Tyson

And yes I knwo thats drastic. But in the new golden age of small fighters he’ll have beaten everybody
Gimme 1 round!

He's close
But consider he was a top level fighter all the way from 112 to 140? That’s just crazy stuff.

after Pac finishes Ricky and floyd
He’ll move up and KO Pavlik too

I don't know about that
I still think Mayweather would beat Pavlik though

If Gaudet wins this, it’ll be the biggest thing to happen to Drummondville since the Voltigeurs went to the Memorial Cup.

yeah im not impressed by soto's skills
Gaudet could have gotten him because he has weak defense

Soto-Gaudet R3
Soto kind of chasing Gaudet now. Kind of a fugly fight considering Gaudet is just looking for shots he’s not landing. Soto even looks comparable technically against a guy with a nice amateur background. Gaudet pushes a little more in the last minute, which as Manny says might due to Soto making him do that.
Soto 10-9
Soto 30-26

he knows he doesn’t stand a chance trying to box Pac

Of course not
He had trouble outboxing Collazo, how’s he going to outbox a stronger, quicker, more technically sound southpaw. He could still knock him out though.

Soto-Gaudet R4
Gaudet hurt on a body combo and a head shot left hook, bouncing off the ropes and then he resets when Soto charges. Overhand right misses.
Soto is so much stronger than Gaudet that it’s not funny.

Soto 40-35
