If that's a knockout blow for the heavyweight championship then boxing really has gone soft!

Even Sam Tomkins was taking better shots than that last week without going down!

For the final time. It was pretty obvious his knee buckled. The blow wasn't that major but it forced his knee to take the weight and it was clear to see that the knee buckled. Unsurprisingly Solis has suffered a major knee injury and will be out for the foreseeable future.

I must admit that at the time it looked like he had been struck with a freak injury and so it seems to have been. IF he had meant to throw the fight, then why did even bother to attempt to beat the count?....That would have made no sense. Anybody watching his attempt to rise to his feet could see his knee had gone and whilst it was disappointing to see the fight ended prematurely, it was absolutely the right thing to happen as he would have been a punchbag for Vitali on one leg.

One of my favourite ever fighters, Erik Morales is fighting Maidana tonight. I think this will be his last fight, he could get hurt badly.

Amir Khans fight has been switched from PPV to Sky Sports 3 apparently too. Great news!

Morales apparently rolled back the years and took Maidana all the way.....

Even got a draw on 1 card.....Khan's win not so clever now, or simply Morales is a true legend?

P.S.....just realised I missed it on Sky....

Have to try and catch up later.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Apr 10, 2011 11:10 am  

I had Morales as the winner. His work was much cleaner and better. He rocked Maidana a few times and all with one eye has his left was pretty swollen shut after 1 round. I don't often jump out of my seat for boxing but Morales is probably the only who could do it!! Maidana caught him with a beauty, Morales just shouted "COME ON" at him. True legend

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Apr 10, 2011 12:15 pm  

will maidana fight khan now then??

mandatory challenger
fight of the year 2010

all points to a rematch

dont hold your breath though with khan

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Apr 10, 2011 12:20 pm  

He will probably find a way to get out of it. I have no interest in watching a rematch anyway. Get it on with Bradley next please Amir!
