Are you talking about hockey? That's a dead sport in the US. Even boxing isn't that dead in the US yet.Quote:

You'd have to be dumb to come up that far against Martinez - or Williams for that matter.Quote:

I did not think Martinez had that type power....He cemented his status for sure...Good news for Williams is he won't have such a hard time getting fights anymore..:-X
Rangers Fan here, and even though I try to get my friends into hockey... i wont be watching a 24/7 on ovie the kneecapper vs. skidmark sid and the diving penguins.Quote:

Coming forward is fine, and throwing a lot of punches was always going to be key to him winning this fight but you don't have to be wild about it and the jab is a legal punch.
Hey, it aint our fault the cup hasn't been back to Canada since. You can blame bettman for that one. whats with all the riots whenever a Canadian team loses an important game?Quote:

I totally agree. You can throw a lot of punches and some of them can be jabs, but you should at least expect something to come back and be ready for that too.Quote:

Martinez is too good to just throw caution to the wind against.
Even Morales was defensively responsible. If he wasn't he would have burned out long ago. Paul has gigantic balls but its not all about that.
After watching the replay a number of times, you literally couldn't set yourself up for a big straight left any better. Wide lead left hook, leaning in, chin up. Boom.
Yeah, I had a lady in Ottawa that was a sens fan. They're haven't been the same since Chara left. Edmonton is like a personal bargain bin.. Sather brought a free garbage for garbage pipeline from Edmonton. I haven't like Calgary since Fleury left. Gotta love the way detroit builds a team. Boston is a rival but I would like to see Thomas get a cup before retirement. I just hate the wuss league bettmas created, with this posterboy bull$hit....The riots are funny though, the first thing you guys burn is always a cop car. lolQuote:

Yeah, Detroit is one of the best run teams in all of sports. I started watching them when I was a kid because of Yzerman (still my all-time favorite player) and it was amazing to watch them go from a laughing-stock to the model franchise. I still have a soft spot for them, except when they are playing the Canucks (aka Chicago's bitches).Quote:

I'm totally convinced the Canucks are gonna win it all this year
Wait, the season's already started?
can u hockey fags take this outside? :mad:
They're a good team, but they just lost 7-1 to the 'Hawks. IMO they need a new coach, if only to shake up the team. They look like they've bought in to all the preseason talk declaring them soon-to-be Cup champions and forgot that they have to try.Quote:

IN hockey, they hand you a stick and send you out there to rap someone across the knuckles with it. get into a fight and you get to sit down and rest for 5 minutes. (though i didnt see a lot of fights in goal.. i had to wait for bench clearing donnybrooks to see any action)Quote:

wtf, there's like two topics here. what did i miss?
The whole fight took less than 10 minutes. Williams OK'd in the 2nd round. HBO started the 24/7 series early which was Hockey.Quote:

I fell asleep!
Didn't see the result coming!
Now to find a video of it........
Not the best but you can see the end here:Quote:

I read a column that said Pacquiao and Mayweather want no part of Martinez after this fight. I don't see it that way. I think both of them would present problems that Martinez can't solve. Martinez would never have the opportunity to capitalize on the kind of exchange Martinez won on the Williams knockout, their balance is too good. Martinez is fast but both are faster, more accurate and more versatile. I wouldn't be surprised if either took the fight at 150.

Re watched this AM and man, Martinez is a extremely thinking fighter. He just baited Williams all round with that left. Hit him with about 4 tenderizing him and then that last one....hellish! :angryxo4:
I just re-watched it, and Martinez threw that exact same punch three times. The third was punch was the knock out. That old idiom "Third times a charm" come though again.Quote:

Me personally, I'd rather see Manny fight Sergio than Berto or Bradley, and I think he'd get knocked out.Quote:

Everything seemed in slow motion. I am very pleased to think my wife and I are going to be at a knockout of the year candidate. What a fight and a great memory.
