Ton Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Anyone arsed? Another showpiece event for Pacquiao before he hangs them up for politics, or will this be competitive? A Broner win will likely propell him up for some more big money fights in future, so he's done well to get into this position, annoyingly! :whistle: Edited January 20, 2019 by LondonRingRules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- If the hapless Bonehaid wins, the earth's axis would have to move. Manny will embarrass TUE lil bro to set up their rematch nobody wants...only in boxing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Any drug testing for this ? :haha: 1,000,000% NOT - both sides by mutual agreement. Sted-head vs coke-head......... Agree with Ton, meaningless - who's bothered ? Pity Uncle Jim wont be there to cry about another Pacroid retirement. Cant see Farhood getting so emotional.

The_budweiser Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Not overly fussed about the fight but its one I hope Pacquiao wins. A win for Broner gets him another big payday. Anyone know the purses for the fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- All about billions Boner got $1mil for his bogus draw against Vargas who Manny well whipped previous. A billion comes cheap these days, a penny per $100! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Been reading a few quotes from both fighters. Looks like Pacquiao will be targeting Mayweather should he win the fight. Might be an interesting fight as Broner really needs the win more than Pacquiao.

Undefeated Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Easy work for Pacman, I don't care if he's touching 40, Broner's a joke now. Pacman UD. I am interested in the fight though, Broner's done but Pacquiao still looks good, coming off a KO victory too, I'm still happy to see Manny in action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- I don't discount any top fighter pulling the upset, but big news in Manny and Freddie have reconciled for this fight. End of the day, if Boner upsets manny, he gets the Floydy fight if Floydy can buck up to the Japanese Banty he ran from previous. Uncertain footing in shifting sands these days...

LondonRingRules Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Anyone arsed? --- Apparently the Broward Co deputies in Floriduh are since they are making All About Bail Boner one of their best customers.

LondonRingRules Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- Freddie promising a vintage heroic performance from Manny. Meanwhile boner recently hauled in for missing a trial hearing and additionally facing 2 sexual assualt trials or hearings. Looks bad for boner, but at manny's age I suppose on paper he has a chance...

Ton Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Can see Broner winning this one tbh. He's not a bad fighter, if massively over-hyped, at least in his earlier days. Clearly doesn't take the sport all that seriously but he has boxing ability and could use it against the aging legend if he has got himself into good condition. Then again he has failed everytime he stepped up in class and remembering the beatdown Maidana handed to him.....tough one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand This is a pretty exciting fight. But lordy, so utterly meaningless. The only reason to watch is in hope of Boner getting totally humiliated. Boner's not a defensive genius, and hasn't exactly wowed the boxing world at 147, so I have to predict a Manny win, one way or another. Another Maidana moment would be lovely. :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- 1-0-2 since Manny mullered him. Still young enough to be developing with a minor name, so at very least he's a gatekeeper with a few more title shots left. Might hit that jackpot someday. Took Popkins 3x before he nailed his. http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/468475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- Manny at 146 and Boner at 146.5... Given the shock of Cano over Linares, Manny should just concentrate on boxing unless Boner gets in trouble. We all know Boner is the bigger framed guy, but look at the size of a posed Manny slightly in back of Boner where his features shrink in the perspective field of vision. His mitts and wrists are massive the better to transmit every oz of his kinetic power vs Boners dainties that look like they might brake with a good handshake.

Cableaddict Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand "About Beard" needs to be humiliated. Too bad for Boner that he can't grow it about 3" around his temples. Go, Manny ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand --- PAC wins in breezer as Boner reduced to claiming he was fightin for the hood and was robbed! Oh, and he couldn't beat up a standing 40 yr old senator, but he could whoop post fight interviewer Jim Grey! Public social media erupting outraged that Boner could have won more than a single rd. Basically, PAC swarmed hum like a pack of hornets that had him stumbling and fumbling in flight swatting like a granny... TUE was supposed to be there to make a post fight announcement concerning his date with Manny for Cinco de Mayo, but I see no news of that yet. Manny scared the stink outta Junior Floydy yet again!

Ton Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Another great humiliation fro Broner, only elevated even more so by his own doing and belief he won the fight. Mentally challenged or just not all there in the head? Or maybe a bit of both. They push Floyd a bit regarding the rematch but after the fight when putting the question to hi (a simple nod will do), he just stared blankly. Annoying how much interest that fight could make when it's really just two old timers and no real meaning to the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Good win for the old man. Reading he suffered retina damage and if true, it'll be the end. He's had a legendary career, now would be the right time to finish. No one needs to see a rematch with Floyd - the sport is moving on.

Mentally challenged or just not all there in the head? Or maybe a bit of both..... Astoundingly, his corner also seemed to think he was winning the fight. I remember somewhere in the middle rounds, after two particularly empty ones for Broner where he basically just jabbed and danced, that his trainer literally said something like 'that was two good ones, keep it up." I literally shook my head in disbelief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally shook my head in disbelief. Right and also when he went back to the corner after the 11th he asked "I won that round right" and I was like (I'll give him a pass, maybe the punches he's taking to the head have confused him somewhat) but then the trainer was like "yeah" and at that moment I understood that it wasn't entirely Broner's fault, he needs to get rid of the yes men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Re: Manny vs Broner - Jan 19 2019 @ MGM Grand Clenelo vs Danny J. already announced for Cinco de Mayo on Dazn. Exclusivity of the date gone dude. Remember there was a time when Mayweather could have announced the same date second and the other event that was scheduled first would be rescheduled since competing with the #1 PPV attraction would have been financial suicide. But I'd be amazed if he tried that today against Canelo in 2019, especially when he's announcing a rematch against someone he comfortably outpointed the first time 'round, I'd have to expect Canelo to get more views/buys in May, his fight vs Jacobs is far more interesting than MayPac II.
