My thing is he could box at 147 but he isnt gonna be knocking anyone out at 147.

Maybe hasty but I was looking for that.I mean Abregu has been dropped and stunned by bigger guys but with much less technique and ability than Bradley.Tim stunned him but never really followed up...think his stamina was showing.The jab was void tooQuote:

No one even gave it to Barrett?! 115-112, 113-133, 113-113 That's bullshit. Monty said it best when he said ''This is why i'm retiring, because the sport of Boxing is not as pure as it's fighters''.
Well said Monty :eek:
Thats a shame, you think Monte took it?
congrats to alfredo angulo! i thought he would be alcine but not in the devastating fashion he did it in. this guy is a champion waiting to happen. hope he gets his title shot soon!
I just read that Tua was deducted a point for throw Barrett down in the last round and then was dropped for the first time ever. Thats a 10 -7 round.Quote:

He got put down in the last second of the Rahman rematch and in the amatures got beat up bad by Felix Savon;DQuote:

Bradley got the job done last night and looked pretty good against a hard hitting welterweight. Abregu was sloppy but he def was swingin hard and was a tough bastard.
Honestly I think Bradley is just too small to make any noise at welterweight though, he's too short and is not a big hitter. I think Andre Berto would overwhelm him. And Berto is not even the top dog at welter right now.
Angulo slaughtered Alcime.
That was impressive !
I wanna see Angulo vs. Cotto next. :cool:

Tua was out of ideas for most of the mid-late rounds and only really a big effort in the 11th.
I don't know if it was because I expected Barrett to loose or because most people wanted Tua to win but I was rooting for Barrett as soon as I see how much he actually wanted to win (despite being shit scared of Tua's power). Barrett gave a real good go and to be fair, in terms of power punches thrown, I think he put it on Tua more than Lennox Lewis did :o
I think Barrett said beforehand he was calling it quits no matter what after the fight. That just something you dont say before a fight. It shouldnt have an effect on scorecards, but still dont say that until afterwards.
