Boxing

Glad he lost, couldnt stand his arrogance in the first two rounds when he flexed his shoulders and went behind Maidana after coming together. Way too many pushoffs and elbows used
 
Personally i like all the banter and trash talking in boxing, makes it exciting and sells tickets however when you do this you have to be prepared to take a loss like a man, I do feel like broner can take things too far though, I know may weather was one for trash talking and being flamboyant out of the ring but i always felt he still have a level of respect for his opponents and always gave them props after a fight.
 
I missed this. Do like boxing but not enough to know everyone, hadn't heard of Broner before. Can't see any replays on Sky Sports at the mo so will look online.

Known as Adrien 'The Problem' Broner, or AB for short. Refers to himself as 'About Billions' but since the fight AB stands more for 'Ass Beating' or 'Another Berto'. :p

He definitely should have had at least one point taken away, he seemed to get warned time and time again but the ref was afraid to deduct a point.

Mayweather talks the talk but also walks the walk. This joker has nowhere near the same level of commitment to the sport as FM. He also considers himself a rapper, he parties too much, he balloons up in weight (look at him here recently next to Floyd: http://www.boxingnews24.com/2013/09/adrien-broner-looking-fat-with-pot-belly/).

Absolutely. Mayweather might be immensely dislikable, but no one can deny his preparation for every fight. He never looks out of shape. He never loses his game plan. If anything, all his flash and bling is probably misleading, and makes people underestimate how much talent he actually has, or how much work he really does put in. I don't think Mayweather has ever underestimated any opponent.

Kahn has *apparently* signed the contract to fight Mayweather in May

Should be pretty (very) hilarious, I think it'll be RIP to Kahn, basically his way of getting a big payout before retirement..

I personally love watching Mayweather box, as much as he's a comes across as an arrogant *******, he is one hell of a fighter.

It won't be the end of Khan, he'll just say he lost because he went up against one of the greatest of all time, after all, he'll have lost against worse opponents tbh. Khan has nothing to lose really.

Can't wait to see him chicken dance though. Best defence in boxing vs one of the worst. Hilarity will ensue.

yeah I guess you could well be right - no doubt he could just carry on regardless.

And yeah - it will be funny to see him go into bambi mode when floyd gets to work and lands a big one.

I completely agree, Mayweather is far smarter than he lets on. He has marketing down to a tee.
