Well what can u say. It went the distance. Some people are happy, some are sad. I fit into the sad section. I think Danny let too many people tell him strategically how to manage his fight. He should have gone with his instincts. He lost no respect in my eyes. His sportsmanship is admirable and sets a great example for kids and his fans. Right now he is receiving a lot of undue criticisms and calls for his retirement. I hope he doesn't' let peoples opinions influence his decision on his career. After all it is only one fight. Many have gone back put the work in and come back renewed and continued o win and be great champions which he already is. I think it would be sad for Australian boxing for him to retire but that is his decision. Mundine has met his match before and will again in Kessler. Fight any fight on another day and the result may be different. But I think people got their monies worth. At least he didn't hit choc when he was down. I cracked up when he fell through the ropes. Anyway it didn't go the way I wanted but Danny's still the machine. he will be back. Congratulations to Mundine and Johnny Lewis shouldn't be so quick to right off our boxers after a loss. He did it with Kostya too. More support should be given from one as respected as him.\nJust my thoughts.

My heart says Ken, my head says Tito. Hopefully Ken can pull out a victory. That would really rock. I don't like Tito and his big basketball head (Tait from Uf 3).\n\np.s. Forrest Griffin should have won the fight between the two.

The fight went as most boxing experts expected. \n\nThe puncher (Mayorga) landed a few good shots and one or two seemed to stagger De La Hoya. Another couple of those, or one _really_ good one, and the puncher might have won.\n\nThe experienced pro (Oscar) _Boxed_ the other guy. From the start, Oscar showed why he has been a dominant fighter in more than one weight class for more than a decade. He even showed power when he down Majorga in the first round. His defense against Majorga's looping rights was effective. He found the openings that almost always occur with wild punchers and he landed good shots. The short left hook counter was doing just great.\n\nI think the stoppage was a good one. Mayorga was obviously stunned in the middle of the ring when his arms dropped and he staggered back to the ropes. He was trying to counter and he was throwing his arms out to look like he was punching, but it was mostly in desparation. When Oscar landed several consecutive clean shots to the head .. that was enough .. and rightly so. \n\nI enjoyed the fight a lot.

Well Matt Hughes won.  He dominated the entire time and at the end, Gracie was in a position where he could not defend himself.  I would have much rather seen Gracie win.  Even though he lost, he still fought with dignity considering how Hughes had Gracie's arm bent backwards and he still managed to squirm out.  All in all, it was a dissapointing fight.

I saw it!!!! Now tell me....U kno damn well if that were another ref, it would have been stopped. Green looked out on his feet and falling against the ropes with his eyes closed and hands and arms dangling! It should have ben stopped, but Im glad it wasnt! lol. He looked just as hurt as the guy he fought b4 this and destroyed in the 1st round.\n\nGreen certainly did the  fastest recovery Ive EVER seen for someone who was OUT ON HIS FEET!!!\n\nNow they say he may fight Joe Calzake, the guy who just beat Jeff Lacy.

I wouldn't call his performance impressive becuz mishama kept going back into the guillotine and he acted like he was retarded fighting Steveson. I would say he is next in like against Sherk. He wont beat him. Then I would say Kenny Florian or Sam Stout would fight him for the belt.

I don't know if you've seen the fight, so I'll try to give you a good play by play.\n\nGoing into the fight we new each fighter had their own advantages. Royce is an expert technician on the ground with dangerous submissions. Hughes is powerful and well rounded.\n\nTo win, Hughes' strategy was most likely to avoid going to the ground for as long as possible, while wearing Royce out on his feet. From the ground, Hughes' goal would be to protect himself from submissions and wear on him with the ground and pound.\n\nTo prepare for the fight Royce worked on his striking skills. He knew that Matt was a well rounded fighter and that he would need to be prepared to face off against him in a striking match until he could take it to the ground. On ground he is a much more technical fighter, but without a gi he knew he would have a harder time defending himself from the 'ground and pound' attack of Hughes.\n\nThe fight started off as expected. Royce showed that he had worked on his striking while Matt avoided the double leg take down that he usually attacked other opponents with. A few minutes in the fighters got into a clench and Matt took Royce down to a side mount, giving himself a good advantage. He worked to keep the pressure on Royce using his elbows while Royce kept a strong defense and worked to slip in his guard.\n\nMatt got an arm lock on Royce, but Royce was able to slip in a half guard to take away his leverage. That combined with his flexibility kept Matt from submitting him. From here the fight took a surprising turn. Matt was able to pass Royce's guard and return to the superior side mount. I think that Royce was too relaxed in letting him do this. He was probably over confident in his ability to control the fight from the ground.\n\nFrom there Royce made yet another mistake. In an attempt to turn Matt he slipped off and gave him his back. It was an incredibly sloppy move for someone of his experience. You could see in his face how disappointed he was with himself after the fight. From there Matt pounded on the back of Royce's head until the fight was called.\n\nI'd like to see a rematch of the fight. Matt definitely controlled the fight, but I was disappointed to see Royce lose by making such a careless mistake. I think that he was over confident in his superiority on the ground, and would likely fight a more careful match if given another chance.

good one, brent! carmen was tough as nails, & obviously capable of beating anyone on a given night. but i see trouble for him here. monzons reach advantage would allow him to pepper carmen as the smaller man tries to move in. and basilio would move in and make a great fight of it. monzons punches would eventually bust carmen up. i dont see him getting knocked out, but i do see the valiant warrior losing a u/d if cuts dont cause a tko in the late stages of the bout.

The pair didn't have much time to lick their wounds as MNM had shot to regain the gold in a rematch. Batista and Rey looked to have things under control, but with the referee knocked out, the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry made a shocking return to SmackDown and blindsided the Animal. After the World's Strongest Slam, MNM picked up the victory and the WWE Tag Team Championship.\n\nMark Henry instantly became Batista's top priority. The two looked to be on a collision course for destruction, and that proved to be all too true for Batista. At a live event, Batista suffered a serious triceps injury at the hands of Henry. The injury required surgery and the Animal was forced to surrender the World Heavyweight Championship. Batista's surgery was successful, though, and he's already on the road to recovery. Before relinquishing the gold, however, Batista said that whoever held the title next, would just be holding it until he returned.\n\n\nand that is wat happen

Lutter totally imposed his gameplan on Patrick Cote, took him down as Cote attempted a to stand back up Lutter caught him in an armbar. \n\nMatt Sera won a decision over Chris Lytle, I think Lytle fought well but matt was constantly the agressor dispite the fact the Lytle (the striker) constantly stuffed his jui-jitsu attempts that would have smothered a lesser opponent, it was a decision surrounded by contraversy as serra was booed constantly during the trophy presentation and even had the balls to call the current Welterweight Champion Matt Hughes a "Fu.cking D.ckhead". \n\nJorge Rivera mounted an excellent standup offense forcing Edwin "Bam Bam" Deewees into the cage taking punishment and although he took very little if any actual damage he made no attempt to be offensive or even better his position forcing the referee to end the fight\n\nThales Leites faced Martin Kampmann. Heavily hyped fighters can have a huge impact on the sport (Anderson Silva), while others are just that... hype (Sean Gannon). Thales Leites had quite a bit of hype coming into his bout with Martin Kampmann, but the Brazilian was unable to live up to the fans' anticipation after gassing out late in the first round and getting knocked around for the remainder of the fight. Kampmann looked very good with his stand-up, and to Leites credit, he withstood a world of punishment in the second and third rounds without being finished. At the end of the day, Martin Kampmann is the fighter walking out still undefeated in the UFC, while Leites heads back to Brazil to figure out what went wrong.\n \nIn what was one of the most exciting fights in recent UFC history, Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith squared off with his good friend from the show, Pete “Drago” Sell. This fight was taped as a preliminary bout earlier in the night and aired during the Spike TV broadcast. \n\nOn paper, it seemed like Sell would want to take the fight to the ground, where he would have the advantage over Smith, but it was much the opposite as these two threw everything, including the kitchen sink, at each other while standing up. They both smiled continuously as they pounded on one another and at the end of the first round, they hugged and almost looked like they were going to the same corner after the round. The second round saw much of the same but with a couple of minutes remaining, Pete Sell landed a very big shot to Scott Smith’s ribs, causing him to buckle and stumble towards the corner. Just as Smith fell to one knee and “Drago” moved in for the kill, the former WEC Light Heavyweight Champion mustered just enough strength to throw one more punch, and in dramatic fashion he absolutely floored Sell with the shot. Just barely having the strength to jump up and finish the fight, Smith instantly crumbled afterwards, holding his stomach in obvious pain. There’s not much of a chance that the UFC won't bring back both of these fighters after what has to be considered fight of the night.\n\nAlso, Rich “No Love” Clementi and Din Thomas put on an action packed fight, as the 155-pound fighters usually seem to do. The fight remained standing for a big part of the first round with Clementi throwing heavy shots but Thomas was the definitively better striker, landing the crisper punches throughout. \n\nIn the 2nd round, the action was moving at a feverish pace and Thomas was able to truly display how much his stand-up game has advanced when he picked Clementi apart. After a few heavy shots, Thomas moved to take Clementi’s back, where he secured a rear naked choke, forcing the submission and getting the win. Din Thomas is just another very dangerous opponent in an already stacked UFC lightweight division, but he made no bones about who he wants next when he called out UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk, saying that Sherk had his title.

I think it was a fair call but it was a bad fight. I personally watched the fight baldomir did not land more than 10 power punches in 1 round. Thats his way of fighting. But when he got floyd on the ropes he did damage i thought it was closer than wat the judges thought. but mayweather did deserve to win.37-0 not for long............DE LA HOYA yes they did

Ric ~\n        What's up my Brother? No matter what Herenton brings to this bout, it won't be enough. The very last thing to go on a fighter is his punch. He can walk on his heels, he can talk with slurred speech and he might not be able to remember what day of the week it is, but believe me he can still punch. Nobody puts Ali on his seat that can not punch yesterday or 40 years ago, whatever they can punch.\n\n       Legendary fighter, Packy McFarland was retired from boxing for over thirty years he and his wife were walking home from St Pats Church in Joliet, Illinois when they were approached by three young men demanding money, Packy went into his wallet and gave them everything he had, but that wasn't enough the young men demanded his wife's wedding ring. Packy said "Boys, you picked the wrong bull today." and cleaned the street with the three of them breaking ones jaw and knocking the other two out until the Police arrived.\n\n     Joe is looking at the bout as a exhibition of sorts and if Willie thinks he's going to rough house old Joe, then Willie is in for a rude awakening and when he wakes up, I'm sure every one will tell him "How well he tried"\n\n    Thanks for the question Ric, it's great to have you back.

It was GSP. But it was a KO. GSP actually knocke Hughes out at the end of the first but the horn went before he could finish it. \nThen in to the second he continued to dominate Hughes with strikes and kicked him in the head hitting him with his shin. Hughes dropped and GSP jump on him and hit him with 3 good punches and a couple elbows Big John called it cause Matt was esentially out. It was sweet GSP made Hughes look like an d amature. \nBring in the new blood. GSP is gonna be there for a while. There is no one there who casn beat him now...

I was happy that Rey won. He deserves the title.\n\nI thought the HHH and Cena match wasn't that good and I wish that Edge lost. . . over all it was good.
