Cowan out to a failed hook shot chasing 6,000,000 … classy and disciplined 🙁

I have to say, having grown up following England in the 90s and early 2000s there is something rather satisfying about Australia getting absolutely thrashed at home these days. 🙂

Burnwinter

We were rubbish. 🙁

At least you have a cricket team 🙁

Whoa. There is a gif for this but I can't get it to work from my phone.

Burnwinter

Shit, that was fairly intense.

has the KO about 2:00 in, and a replay around 4:30 in.

So that was probably one of the most brutal punches you'd ever see, but the guy taking it still falls forward, towards the fist when he drops. Action film-makers take note 🙂

Tony Montana

Can't believe he lost. Thought he was pretty much unbeatable.

i just read about that KO now. wow, what a fucking hit.

Pacquiao was on the way to a win apparently, but just got caught with the perfect punch.

He's lost his last 2 fights.

Any UFC fans? Been watching a lot recently since I got ESPN. I had lost touch in the last couple of years but i'm getting back up to date again now. Really good card last Saturday night, Benson Henderson defended his title.

Still better than Mayweather at the moment? Would now be an interesting fight.

Captain

When was he better than Mayweather?

Tony Montana

I thought it was common thought? I know very little about boxing. I am probably completely wrong.

Also I thought Mayweather was past it now...too old.

MuswellHillGooner

It is impossible to definitively answer that question as since Mayweather started having problems with his wrists, he never punches hard and bases his fights on ring generalship rather than brawling where Pacquiao has no peers when it comes down to attacking.
The tragedy is this fight will probably take place in 3 to 5 years time when they are both well past their best

Captain

It's a contentious thought.

Personally, I would have Mayweather to beat him nine times out of ten.

MuswellHillGooner

I think so too, but we will never know as Mayweather and Bob Arum will never work together.
Interestingly, i heard that that the £40m offered to Pacquiao to fight Mayweather a couple of years ago was raised by 50-cent's promotion company and if Pacman were to drop Arum, i could see him making this fight happen

i watch intermittently. i know there's a rematch between junior and velasquez coming up. i watched their last fight live, when junior dropped him in under 2 minutes or something. what's the feeling on the rematch?

Armor

Junior is favorite but Velasquez is highly rated so it should be a good fight. I haven't seen a top heavyweight fight in ages, Brock Lesnar was the champion when I was last really into it.

Both Ultimate Fighter series are finishing next weekend so theres UFC on this Friday and Saturday.

Bold Tone

In terms of MMA ability, you will not see 2 better skilled heavyweight fighters than Dos Santos and Velasquez. Only thing is because of the small gloves, it is impossible to absorb any punch that hits the button and factor in submissions, many potentially good fights are over in seconds.
