I'm a mess in distress
But we're still the best dressed

I'm actually in agreement-it will have been almost a year and half but Gamboa still gave Crawford problems early despite a super long layoff before that fight. Maybe they can do Lomachenko-Walters at 130, winner fights Verdejo to be Arum's next cash cow.

Also, pick 'em just started back up and there are prizes. Just one fight so please participate if you can. Still, if you pick against Fonfara you will get -100000000 points and I'm dead serious about that.

Boxing Scene posted:

Staples Center, Los Angeles, California - Former champion Antonio Margarito (38-8, 27KOs) is preparing to for a planned comeback in the fall. Margarito has been inactive since losing his rematch with Miguel Cotto in December of 2011.

When Margarito returns, he will likely compete in the middleweight division.

Another fighter who recently made the move to 160-pounds is Margarito's countryman and former sparring partner, Alfredo Angulo (24-5, 20KOs).

Angulo had his third fight at 160 on Saturday night and stopped Hector Munoz in five rounds.

Since Margarito, and his manager Sergio Diaz, revealed the planned comeback - a large of fans have once again called for the possibility of an all-Mexican war with Angulo.

Would Angulo face the man he once helped prepare for several key fights? Angulo says "yes. "

"It would be a very interesting fight. [My adviser] Al Haymon would have to approve of that match. I think it would be a great, great fight, because I helped him in a lot of fights with sparring. It would be a great fight," Angulo told BoxingScene.com.

According to Angulo, even their sparring sessions were all-out wars.

"Every time people would come out and see me and Margarito spar, they actually didn't even see it as a sparring session - they saw it as an actual fight because we were so competitive," Angulo explained.

I guess the best part would be watching two literally blind guys stand and trade for 11 and a half rounds, also handwraps and Miguel Cotto es puta :ese:

if margarito hadn't had a massive lay off and had experience at middle i'd probably pick him in that. angulo is the kind of guy margarito could just wear down imo.

maybe cotto should fight him in a third fight rather than being literally killed versus ggg

So apparently ninth layer Monica Bradley made Timmy leave Joel Diaz and a fight with Brandon Rios is back on.

The Ninth Layer
Jun 20, 2007

It's a pretty confusing fallout, from what I've gathered Diaz didn't want the Rios fight for Bradley but if that's the case then who else was he going to fight? I've also heard the opposite, that Diaz did want Rios but Bradley wanted bigger fights. One thing I don't really understand is why Bradley would take the Rios fight at all if he's in-between trainers.

probably because rios is poo poo and an easy fight for him

The Ninth Layer
Jun 20, 2007

That's what's confusing. If it's such an easy fight then why didn't Diaz want it? Styles make fights maybe? Bradley does get suckered into infighting pretty easily.

Anyway if it is indeed a done deal, I'll almost certainly head to Vegas for it. I've seen Bradley and Rios three times each (Bradley vs Provo, Pac 2 and Chaves; Rios against Antillon and Alvarado I and II) and to top it off it's on the weekend of my birthday. I'm a big fan of both guys so no matter what happens I'll be a little bummed that one of them had to lose.

The way I heard it was that Bradley was upset that Diaz would leave during his camps to train some of his other fighters.

Crazy that Austin Trout - who is still a top 5 junior middle- has to fight on Tuesdays. Was fantasy football at the time but nice to hear a he got a knockout though.

None of the fights were really competitive, but hopefully it'll improve like the other PBC events. Actually, I'd really like to see prospects fight on Tuesdays. That would be really cool.

Trout got WWE body slammed by Hernandez tonight. According to Paulie, it should've been a 2 point deduction, but the ref only took away 1 point.

Whatever, I'm not going to knock Atlas as a trainer until I can see how he does with Tim.

Also I think it's funny nobody posted about the Floyd IV controversy in here. Goes to show just how little hype there is for this Berto fight.

You always make great threads but drat, that fight doesn't deserve it.

You might as well just write up your thoughts on hypothetical rematches with Canelo or Pacquaio, which is going to be his 50th fight, and put a small blurb about the Berto match at the bottom.

Really pleased with the undercards. Was nice to see Jack upset Groves and that Martinez/Salido undercard was so brutal. I'd love to see them fight a third time.

As usual, Floyd was a joy to watch. I really liked seeing how easy it was for Floyd to boss Berto around on the inside with all his rough housing. Berto looked so frustrated by all those forearms and elbows. It was pretty cool to watch Floyd slip everything thrown at him in the corner and on the ropes. I think we saw Floyd take a bit more risk then we've seen him take the last few fights and that was nice. It actually seemed like he was headhunting for a bit. Overall, it was a fun fight for me.

I think we all know Floyd will at least be back for one more. Looking forward to it.
