These guys are pretty good!

Round to Frankel but keep an eye on the Molina left hook. He came awfully close twice with it.

[marbleheadmaui]

Visually these two fights back to back are fascinating;

Dallas and Hererra moved like fencers, back and forth in straight lines.

These two now are revolving like a clock.

You know what the problem with boxing is as opposed to MMA (especially UFC) is that in boxing we're so quick to criticize and we criticize harshly. In MMA they RARELY complain about the product they get (at least the Play by Play and Color Man don't).

In boxing its different strokes for different folks...some guys like a boxer, some guys like the brute force. In MMA "diversity" is celebrated and not frowned upon, and part of that adds to Joe Rogan being a total tool.

Round two to Frankel.

Couple of questions. Does Frankel have the legs to go ten this way?

That Molia hook is whistling and Frankel better pay attention.

I hear ya but we should also recognize the elements of skill and craft, celebrate when they are present and recognize when they aren't.

I think Frankel won that round as well but the Molina pressure is already starting to tell.

This look a little like a poor man's Cotto-Margarito to anyone else?

[Mars_ax]

Rhodes is gracious in defeat, I like that kind of sportsmanship.

...I wonder if we'll see more of that

lol, probably not until after Haye gets the wires out of his fractured jaw.

Molina only comes alive at the end of rounds.

Yes, but what we get is all negative comments because you can't have everything. If there was a Ray Robinson today certain boxing pundits would complain. Being a boxer these days is like going into politics...your opponents are just going trash you.



....Damn I see a stoppage due to cuts coming

[marbleheadmaui]

THERE'S That Molina hook!

[El Kabong]

HAHA! Molina used a move I always used! Feint the right and throw a left hook....love it!

[Mars_ax]

I always feel for guys like Frankel who aren't big punchers, if you don't have the power to keep guys like Molina off of you, you're just fucked.

Again, I hear ya. I do! But that recognition is what let's me at least really appreciate men like Juan Manuel Marquez and BHOP and Andre Ward. But I appreciate the "cavemen" too

Yup. Sometimes balls just aren't enough. Talent tells.

[marbleheadmaui]

This is a GREAT pro fight!

[marbleheadmaui]

I was just thinking that Frankel's corner better watch their man closely.

I don't know if I would have stopped it but I don't have a big problem.

I don't like to see a fight stopped on a cut unless the fighter cannot deal with it.
