pascal v hopkins this weekend...

could be a good fight, think pascal will shade it though

Technical draw - two judges scored it a draw, one gave it to Hopkins.

Say what you like about the old guy, he still finds a way to be competitive at world level even if it's not always entertaining to watch.

yeh was a draw, b-hop not too happy with the result....but did he get dropped twice in the fight? hard to say you won when you were knocked down twice.
he wants a rematch now but pascal fighting chad dawson again i think

talk of kell brook v amir khan would love to see this but doubt it will happen

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Tue Dec 21, 2010 5:26 pm  

I can't see Khan risking a fight with Kell Brook. Not enough money for the risk of the fight. I reckon he'll take an 'easier' fight after his last one.

Talk of Pacquaio v Mosley in May. Contracts to be signed after Christmas apparently.

No he didn't. He drew with Victor Ortiz.

he was nearly out of it in the early rounds, khan would finish him in 6.

pac - man v shane mosley confirmed

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:09 pm  

Peterson has only lost once and that was to Bradley. He's a slick boxer and definatly top 10 at LWW and not to be taken lightly.

yeh bradley won easily on points, put him down in the 3rd round... diaz put him down twice in the 3rd too and one judge gave diaz the fight and other two a draw.

not fought anybody before those fights and hardly a big puncher.. if it ever comes off khan will win easy

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed Dec 22, 2010 5:36 pm  

Khan is the best LWW out there, so he'll beat whoever he fights in that division. The challenge will be when he moves upto 147. There's alot of good fights he could get there - Mayweather, Berto, Mosley, Margarito, Cotto etc.
