I watched both of those youtube videos. I like what I see. I like Pernell more, because he is basically Bugs Bunny in a boxing ring. I'll watch some Rigondeaux fights on youtube, he looks like he could be a new favorite of mine.

He beat one of my other favourite active boxers; Nonito Donaire. Another fighter i'd suggest. I actually caught Donaire on an undercard years ago when he was barely known and he's been a favourite ever since. Another video

Those slow-mos are brutal. Is Donaire still that fast?

I don't recognize the fighters he beat, but apparently he beat them pretty easily. His last fight was in May, so I guess I might have to wait for awhile to see him fight live.
Both Rigondeaux and Golovkin have fights scheduled for July, so I am pretty excited about that. Having more than two fighters to root for is exciting.

Never heard of Rigo's upcoming opponent, but i know Geale and this won't be pretty .

Rumors are going around now that the fight with Pacquiao could actually happen relatively soon in Dubai. I know rumors are just words, but let's hope it happens. Pacquiao is our Obi-Wan Kenobi it seems.

Did anyone watch Crawford v Gamboa? Crawford is an absolute beast!! I was sorry to see Gamboa get a beatdown like that but Crawford was never losing.
Looking forward to Lara v Alvarez in couple weeks. Usually Lara not great to watch but hopefully Canelo brings out the fight in him.

I still haven't watched the fight yet, but after looking at Gamboa's twitter account today I've started to find a soft spot for the guy. I'd like to see him bounce back from this loss.
"I am sorry if I disappointed u. I tried my best. I really did."
"Stop blaming my corner and my promoter. I chose to trade punches with [Crawford]. I did that not them. Blame me 4 what I did not them."

Crawford was just too big, too strong, and too smart for Gamboa. Gamboa won the amateur rounds, but he couldn't sustain the pressure he put on Crawford once Crawford timed him with that first knockdown. It was a good fight, neither guy was afraid to throw. That 9th round could be round of the year (I've seen like 3 fights this year, so take that with a grain of salt.)
I like both guys, but I hope Gamboa goes down a class.

So what is everyones thoughts on the Manny-Floyd fight? Whatever you think of either of them, and the fact that this should've happened 5 years ago aside, it's still the biggest fight to happen in quite a while.

I would have if I'd realised it was on ITV. Listened to it on the radio.
Listening to a fight on the radio is definately old school! Who was commentating? Big Jackie?

I just assumed it would be on PPV.
I'd love to hear Jackie commentating on boxing (Jim Neely would have been fine too, he does the Olympic boxing) but it seemed to be some faceless R5L bod with George Groves co-commentating.

I don't know much about the history of the sport, but I just watched the first two Sugar Ray Leonard/Roberto Duran fights. I had no idea about the "No Mas" thing until then, so I think I had somewhat of the same shock about what happened as people back then. I do know that both guys have a tremendous reputation in the sport, and I am going to watch more of their fights on Youtube. Right now I am going to watch their third and final fight against each other. I know it's when they are older, but I can't help but want to see the finale after the two great fights they already had.

Did you watch the 30 for 30 about it? I am so intrigued by it now that I probably will soon. It might sound kind of corny or whatever, but I feel like these two fights seem to have opened a door for me. I've always been fascinated by sports in the 80s, NBA and NFL in particular, but it seems like boxing was pretty great then too.
