Hopkins vs. Dawson on HBO PPV Oct 15th (Offical Sat Night chat thread)

oops! Duck Pauli duck!

Round to Lora on the one big punch.

hahaha "a David Haye flop" :D

Man Paulie can still box. He knows what he's doing as well as just about anyone around.

Can he do this at 158 for ten rounds?

Malignaggi's problem has always been his lack of power, this mexican fighter Lora looks like he's all business.

Lamps, Steward and Kellerman call the fights for HBO, Larry is passed out in the dressing room. j/k ;)

Is Lora's face already starting to bust up or is he just ugly?

Malignaggi giving a lesson. Manny asks the right question. Can Pauli go at this pace for seven more rounds?
2-1.

Another Pauli round, but I thought his feet slowed a little.

3-1 but it could be turning.

Man Paulie is smart. He's throwing EVERYTHING at the Lora left eye.

Hey Diane, greetings. :) I'm hoping the fight will be entertaining, after saying I wasn't going to pay to see it, I went ahead bought it anyway. :cool:

---

Greetings to you in return. :wavey:

I'm on stream city tonight. I have only once paid for a PPV card, and that was for the first Cotto/Margacheato fight.

I hope you get your money's worth.

I start a lot of these fight threads, so I may start buying more PPV's, since lately the streams are so unreliable. I really have no problem affording PPV's, it's just the principal of the thing, I still however refuse to buy a Mayweather PPV and never will, I wouldn't even care if he's fighting Pacquiao.

Another Paulie round but his feet are becoming flatter and flatter.

This is one of those race to the finish line kind of fights.

Another Paulie Round. 5-1.

He fell down in that round and he's starting to gulp for air. The rest of this will be fun.

Lora is ponderous and one dimensional, I can't see him winning this fight unless he lands something huge, and that seems doubtful.

Too bad that Pauli wasn't blessed with some serious power to go with his boxing ability.

Pauli is winning every minute of every round. He is really trying to nail Lora with a lead left hook and stop him.

6-1.

Think Lara is going to have to decide how much he doesn't mind being peppered and scratched real quick to get his straight shots in and force a stand cause Paulie is the epitome of punching from the backseat as it goes

Pauli is tired and not moving much and is having to stand and trade. But he is still dominating the round.

7-1.

Lora is not out of this fight though. Paulie is increasingly stationary.

Sounds about right, the only round Lora won was the 1st, make that 8-1.

I must be nuts. I keep saying Paulie is getting tired and he keeps winning every minute of every round.

8-1.

Very nice performance.

Does a fight with Victor Ortiz make sense for both men?

Lara just not asserting enough...Paulie chicken wings him with elbow and trips over feet. Lara should invest underneath

Nice effort for the Brooklynite.

9-1

Right there in 8th Lara looked like he gave up the hunt and excepted his role. Out of ideas

Next up, Kendall Holt vs. Danny Garcia, a WBC/IBF junior welterweight title eliminator, this might be the best fight of the night.

I know more about Holt then I do Garcia, Holt can bang.

I believe you're right, that's what Master said earlier in this thread.

Its nice to see the big fights for free on TV, without having to worry about streams. I think it should always be free, then you will get more people watching boxing like the old days.

Malinagis got heart you can't ever deny that, if he just had a little more pop who knows but certain fighters he just can't keep of him...nice win tho

Can Garcia hang with Holt for 12 rounds, I kinda doubt it.

I think Kell Brook should fight Malignaggi, give him a good American name to test himself against.

I don't really know anything about Garcia but didn't Holt lose badly not long ago ? i haven't followed Holt for awhile but he hasn't really done much seeing Koing Torres with a headbutt has he ?

Kendall's chin letting him down.

Some nice work by Garcia in the 3rd round, he hurt Holt with some hard shots.

Wow my streams two rounds behind but oh well...

Hopkins will never get mistaken for an accountant, will he now.

you leave bhop alone you big meanie!

I've got Garcia up 3-2 in rounds, Garcia is busier, and he's impressed me with his toughness.

God Chad is sooooo low key.

Where's the fire dude?

Holt is capable of knocking Garcia out if he connects with a big shot, so far Garcia has avoided that.

Chad says he plans to knock Hop out, easier said then done.

He was also in the process of knockin pascal out when the fight was stopped according to him. Dawson's a frustrating fighter has the skill but seems to lack the fire or somethin

Holt is frustrating a bit. He walks up to openings on a guy like a guy talking to you through a half opened front door while trying not to let the big dog out :cwm13:

He's very conscious of his jack-n-the box chin

Holt ain't gonna win a decison, he may as well go for it the last 2 rounds.

He looks resigned, doesn't he?
