Anyone here boxing fans? There's been some pretty decent fights recently, GGG/Lemieux, Cotto / Canelo come to mind. Th Bradley/Rios fight I didn't get to watch but heard Bradley held a clinic. Lomenchenko is also a great boxer to look out for.

My friend is a big fan and as a result I've watched some great fights over the years. Saw Cotto vs. Clottey and Pacquiao vs. Cotto live. We also went to LA and stopped by the Wild Card, got to see Amir Khan spare. Will be watching Cotto vs. Canelo.

Oh it must be a blast to see top notch boxing live? I did landscaping for a guy in Mississauga years ago who was a huge boxing fan with money. He used to travel all over to see huge title fights. I like to watch but really haven't followed it much lately. Not a UFC fan anymore. There's going to be way too many people with jello brains from that sport.

Those were some great fights to see live! I'm a huge fan of Cotto, saw him fight for the Middleweight strap against Martinez at MSG. I'm on the fence with Canelo though, I think he'd be a better match for (and would be more likely to fight) GGG.

That knockout last night was awesome. Alvarez just clocked Khan, (he was out before he hit the ground)
Canelo Alvarez is a fun fighter to watch, and hopefully they can set up a fight with Golovkin very soon.

Saw the highlights as i wasnt able to catch it. But damn, that right was brutal. Khan,from my understanding, did a good job working the outside with his speed, but Canelo is huge. GGGCanelo would be great. Originally Posted by argonaut11xx

I haven't followed boxing for a long time, (used to be somewhat of a historian) but if you haven't seen it, this might interest you. Originally Posted by Kenners

The entire doc used to be on Youtube, maybe if you look around you might find it.
