after all this non stop drama we get a good card Saturday. Not that I think the drama will end but its about time for some actual boxing.
Gamboa/Mtagwa and Lopez/Luevano
Picks?
And assuming Lopez and Gamboa win (which is not even close to a sure thing IMO) is Lopez/Gamboa next? They certainly seem to be building towards that.
Im really looking forward o this card as well. 2 future possible P4P guys on one card against 2 more than capable opponents equals good fights. I hope that Juanma and Gamboa win tho because i want to see them fight each other soon.
...anything without the names mayweather or manny p these days is fight enough for me. I usually don't care who wins these fights but this week i will be pulling for luevano to win. I think he's gonna get his ass stomped but it'd be cool to see him pull it off somehow.
Who I want to see win?Quote:

I don't like Gamboa all that much but it looks as though it's a fight he can win against Mtagwa but who knows? Not me.
Lopez vs Mtagwa II is must :mad: JML was almost taken out by Mtagwa and they still gave the fight to JML. :mad:
Not sure about the JML vs Luevano but it should be a good fight.
Two title bouts, let's get it on!
I certainly hope so. Lopez and Gamboa would be a dream matchup. I would pay $50 and throw a fight party for that fight. I think Gamboa beats him. He is already explosive. Gamboa has settled down and is learning to pick the right times to go in. This version would be some trouble for Lopez and I think he will pull it off.Quote:

As far as picks, I've got Gamboa UD, and I haven't totally made up my mind on Lopez-Luevano, Luevano's pretty smart, probably leaning towards Lopez though.
Agreed...lets just ring the bell already.Feels like we've all been glued to an over dramatic Spanish soap opera for while now.
Take Luevano to get off the mat and Dec Lopez.Gamboa...frankly I think he has a big L due him soon,but not sure lion hearted but punch-sponge Mtagwa is the one.Do think Gamboa will be there to receive and may rush in for glaring oppurtunities...making it no gimme.
The bookies have Gamboa-Mtagwa as a virtual mismatch. Anyone that fancies Mtagwa needs to get their money out. You have tremendous value.
I think Lopez will stop Luevano. Nicky Cook gave Luevano a decent fight (ignoring the 20 knock downs), I would back Lopez to KO Cook inside two. So on that beyond basic reasoning Lopez wins by stoppage in 6-10.
maybe because Juanma did enough to win it ;), he outboxed Mtagwa for 5 of the first 6 rounds, and the fight was back and forth from then on plus Lopez scored like 2 knockdowns, i had it about 116-113 LopezQuote:

This had nothing to do with the fact that you are purto ricon?Quote:

Tell me how you scored the last two rounds on this fight please?
I also don't remember Mtagwa being down but I remember him falling once or twice or Lopez hanging and pushing down on Mtagwas head forcing him down.
What rounds did Lopez clearly knock down Mtagwa in again?
nope, i'm constantly giving Lopez flack, and amazingly enough i felt Trinidad lost against DLHQuote:

i had the 11th 10-9 for Mtagwa and the 12th 10-8 for Mtagwa
and Lopez dropped Mtagwa in the 10th i think, and i'm not sure but i think he did also in one of the early rounds, or it could have been he just rocked him, not sure, but i think it was a pretty clear win on points for Lopez, if it were a 15 rounder no doubt Mtagwa would have stopped him
I'd like to see Gamboa win.
He's the fastest man in boxing today.
All right, fights are almost here, if the forum stays real slow, I say we use the chat room. I've finally decided to see what it looks like in there.
I'll join you in chat, what time does the main event start?
Do you have to download chat? Might stick out main page for slooooow Rbr ;D
It starts at 9:45 ET, which is just under an hour away.Quote:

just have to download java if you don't have it Spicoli, the link is in there if you don't. I know Saddo's working on the forum and yesterday it seemed a lot better but today its slow as hell, don't feel like dealing with it.
moving a bit quicker now? I don't know, we'll see.
I'm interested in seeing what happens in the gamboa-mtagwa fight. I picked Gamboa by UD but I could see him getting Mtagwa out of there. Quick punches in bunches could get him to more than Lopez' power. Plus he's taken a boatload of hard shots just in the last year or two with the Lopez fight and the Villa fight. But if he hangs around it could get interesting.
I'm amped for these fights :woot22: I'd like to see Gamboa get stomped :shinner:
Anyone seeing this movie about Bilbo on HBO right now?The swords,the LARs conventions..wtf
Is it me or is Lennox on the mic beginning to make Teddy Atlas sound...brilliant :cwm13:.Nice back groung piece on Gamboa,Mtagwa comes in pretty underweight...Think Gamboa will come it near over.
I stickied the thread an amended the title slightly so idiots like myself can figure out what it's about.
I'm in chat too in case the slowness of the forum gets annoying. or more annoying.
I would love to see Mtagwa win this, don't think he will, but I would love to see him do it.
;D
Fingers crossed on that one Diane.Gamboa landing hard and clean on Mtagwa...shocker...ohh left drops Mtagwa near bell as he came in
,looked glancing?
Damn, not a good sign for Mtagwa.
They can stop this
Wow, I sure didn't expect such a one sided fight, and that it would end so quickly either.
Good showing by Gamboa.
why do people wanna see Gamboa lose?? he's both style and substance and is exciting as hell.
Fukk that was a beating :shinner: Well done to Gamboa; kid looked sharp as hell.
What a good performance. He is so relaxed and calm yet he throws bombs almost all the time. Good stuff, I picked him to win but he made that look so easy.
Awwww Cotto being interviewed; I'm sure Diane is needing a ShamWow to sit on so she doesn't ruin the couch ;D :woot22:
Gamboa was crisp.But Mtagwa was brought in to make him shine,Heart of a lion but has been a literal sponge last 24 rounds.......Foreman vs Cotto ???
God Miguel was looking soooooooooo fuking hot there. I would just love to be standing there in front of him, and be able to start unbuttoning that black shirt. :lickish: ;D
Good win for Gamboa, he seemed really focussed in this one.
I'm quite looking forward to this next fight, I'm not keen on Lopez so will be hoping for Luevano to produce a shocker.
You just wish that you were that ShamWow. ;)Quote:
