stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
I just put another hundred on rigo. I've gone from thinking he has a shot to thinking he's going to straight up win. Unless loma fights in a style that differs significantly to the way he's fought as a professional up to this point, I think rigo is a nightmare style match up for him.

It's all in good fun though, if loma is actually the way better fighter it'll be a privilege to watch him call me retarded by physically punishing some other guy half a world away. Great year for boxing.

Correct decision; Cotto really faded at the end there but at least he didn't go through the ropes like Hopkins. Interested to see what Ali can do going forward

the rumour is that they're trying to get Inoue, Ancajas, Yafai and Cuadras for the undercard. If even 2 of these guys are on the card it should be good, all four and it might be the best event of the year.

Fear not gents for the useless Top Rank Boxing thread will be cornucopia of old information and grammatical errors written while I eat nachos for dinner.

Also that isn't the only fight card. There's a tripleheader with Orlando salido on HBO and the DeGale fight is streaming for free in the afternoon on the Showtime sports YouTube and Facebook pages

The HBO card is really worth a watch, it opens with Francisco Vargas (having apparently been glued back together and reanimated) fighting one of the smith brothers. Then Tevin Farmer fights for Gervonta Davis's old title. Farmer is an interesting player in an interesting division so that should be fun, finally Orlando Salido and Miguel Roman headline what is sure to be a brutal brawl.
