In the photo it looks as though there is swelling above and around the cut. I don't know what statement Haye has made, and I always doubt the veracity of his statements, but it looks as though this injury came from impact. Sparring without headgear? Running into something? Elbow? Head collision...

We shouldn't be but it is surprising to hear of the fight falling out. Wach had left Haye's camp early to join Wladimir so something may not have been right in Haye's camp. I suspect Haye was pissing off his sparring partners by loading up and one of them smashed his face. Its rare to get a cut...

The head grab comes from a duck or a weave while neither fighter is throwing. The punches just have to keep on firing like a Harry Greb or a Joe Calzaghe. But guys like Canelo are just not in shape enough or he's so weight drained he's useless. Canelo should have backed the weasel into the ropes...

Anyways, I was 4-0 with my predictions on this site. 1-1 tonight. Now I'm 5-1 (should be 6-0 if it wasn't for Matty's injury. Who can predict an injury?).

He could barely see out of it. Matty's corner kept the swelling down and that gave Matty a bit of time to start the rounds with but by the end of each round the eye closed up tight again. And what he did see was blurry. Check it out, unfortunately he fought most of the fight with 1 eye. What a...

It's difficult to grab "crazy" arms that flail. And as long as the flailing crazy man keeps both hands punching the ref has no business breaking them up. If he does, the fighter's corner men are all supposed to start yelling at him for favouritism. The ref can't throw a fighter's entire corner...

Well, I'll ask you the same question I asked earlier: do you think that Garcia could have survived Matty if Garcia had only 1 eye to see with? Do you think Garcia could have made a close fight with only 1 eye?

And so the main event went drip...

Yeah, one thing Matty could have done better was quantity. I think he was a bit cautious for the threat of a counter.

Matthysse should, and may get a rematch with Garcia. Matthysse will win the if they fight again. If Matty can't get a rematch, everyone will think Garcia is a coward. Matty can otherwise go and fight the rest of the gang out there. Someone will fight him. I lost my prediction, but only because...

It's almost as if these are staged events for Mayweather though they're likely not. No one is going to beat this shrimp with such dull, predictable moves, foot work, and combinations as Canelo et al throw. It's no secret how to beat him: either over power him with speed and skill, and there have...

What a dull main event! Mayweather is such a pitty-pat tapper. Nothing behind his punches. The fight was exactly as I predicted. I wrote weeks ago Canelo doesn't throw enough volume and his stamina is too poor to beat this shrimp who fights sideways. I don't know what anyone on this site was...

Not so fast Senor. Read my post on that fight thread. Many an aster ix attached to Garcia's win -most salient is Matthysse fought most of the fight injured with only one eye. Do you think Garcia could have not only survived Matthysse but fought a close fight with only 1 eye?

Surprise outcome! Matthysse suffered an eye injury in the 6th round (i think?) and fought half the fight with 1 eye! Mattysse "lost" a close unanimous decision to the dirty Puerto Rican Garcia who thumbed, low-blowed, and held for most of the fight. Even the ref helped Garcia out by judging a...

Hopkins must be on PEDs at his age. It is not that anyone has questioned it, it is that those who contract with him to fight do not demand rigorous testing. If Hopkins' prospective opponents did demand testing, they wouldn't become signed opponents. And they wouldn't make the money they'd have...

This fight is very near. In 48 hours the guns of Matthysse will start to fire. Those guns will be heard by the crowd, felt by Garcia, but not seen by Garcia. By now Danny is so nervous. Danny's father is more nervous. And Danny he cannot sleep. For the guns of Matthysse are in his dreams. Angel...

Weeks ago I posted my prediction for this fight. I'm not going to change it. For Canelo to win he either has to knock the weasel out, or knock the weasel down in 4 different rounds, and batter him in most of the other 8 rounds. But that is not going to happen. No way. Canelo could out-score...

West, you know the answer to this. There are simply not enough gyms with good trainers around. And where there are gyms with competent trainers the guys just aren't coming in and trying to learn the craft. In the East they have extensive amateur programs and the culture of boxing/fight sport is...

Surprised and sad to hear this. I liked Tommy. He, and a very few others, were all whites had to cheer for during the bad days of the 80s and 90s. I hear his wife was by his side. She's a real champ that lady. At least he had a real fine woman till the end. Can't ask for much more than that.

That makes more sense. Boytsov hasn't fought in a while and should fight someone before fighting a top 10 guy.

We were talking about David Price on the Kubrat Pulev thread so I thought you guys should check this out. I said over and over again Price needed a new trainer and he finally listened to me (or someone ;) :clap2:: http://www.boxingscene.com/david-price-eyes-new-trainer-fires-franny-smith--69038

Ha! Very well said! And funny too! Zeus should consider this evidence.

Thank you!

And the lame-brains on other sites kept saying he looked soft, and out of shape at the weigh in!

Here's a post fight video of Chris Byrd's analysis of Pulev/Thompson. He's saying after the fight what I wrote about before the fight. You want to check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qI25T3KrpA8
