I don't know if you can see the video in the link, but maybe the best rally in the tournament? its from the nadal vs muller match.

Haha I just came to post that Horn got the WBO decision but I was beaten to it :P

It'll be interesting to see who he fights next. I mean obviously a rematch with Pacman is the honourable thing to do as it was Pacman that stepped up and gave him an opportunity. However, it's risky because if he loses than that takes some appeal off other boxers wanting to challenge him and get big fights.

i'd be curious to see if Pac pushes for a rematch though .. a rematch against a guy like that, late in his career, who head butts like crazy and is just a rough dirty fighter, doesn't sound like something he will want.. but with the independent review, he might "have to" before taking on another opponent. Might be the end for pac.. I'd like to see him try and avenge this loss, I think he would be able too. He'd fight smarter & not put so much faith into being able to KO Horn.



Bummer, would've been difficult to overturn the decision I'd imagine. Lesson I learned was how much the media you watch the fight (or any sport/ politics/ etc.) can affect your reality. I watched it on ESPN and was flipping shit like many Americans. Seifullaah73 watched it on a British network and clearly saw a Horn victory (closer to reality).

Yeah you have to be careful listening to announcers in fight sports, where anything but a finish (KO/TKO/KD) becomes subjective. These announcers are fans just like us, they love the sport.. so they have their favorites & can subconsciously spin it in their favor. They also judge differently, and they feed off each other. Bradley held his own versus those seasoned ESPN announcers. I'd expect the same thing from Malignaggi if he was there, or Roy Jones Jr if he was there. I think the key here, is that fighters themselves are harder to sway/push around. It's hard for them to just "give in" to the moment and go with the crowd, if it's not what they are feeling/experiencing. Roy Jones Jr for example, always shuts down Max Kellerman on HBO broadcasts. But even fighters become fans too, so leaving it up to the judges/subjective opinion always carries risk.

FWIW, I watched it on ESPN and still thought Horn won.. :ninja:

Mayweather vs mcgregor ppv cost same as the ppv cost for mayweather vs pacquiao like wtf. $100 to watch in HD. Desperate attempt at making the same money they made when may fought pac.
http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-mcgregor-ppv-cost-99-95-watch-hd--118367

Result of the wbo rescore of the match with 5 judges had it 7 rounds to 5 for horn.

Upon the analysis, the findings stated that Pacquiao won the 3rd, the 8th and 9th by 100%; the 5th round was won by 80%; and the 11th round by 60%. Horn won the 1st, 6th and 12th rounds by 100%; rounds 2nd, 4th, and 7th by 80%; and then, the 10th round by 60%.
From the results, it can be established that Pacquiao won 5 rounds while Horn won 7 rounds.
:headbang:

wow...

they need to do that more often for controversial decisions, I love how they did the percentages per round. that's impressive.

also, fwiw, I had it 7-5 HORN which could easily have been 6-6 or 7-5 PAC, that's just a close fight.. but had it 7-5 HORN..

McGregor has always been a trash talking type of player and always seems to back it up in the octagon and mayweather is the same in boxing so i think the tour may provide some sort of entertainment to hype up the event. who knows mcgregor may use some dirty tactics, which is required and pressure to beat mayweather. but I don't see that happening but conference should be entertaining.

bleh!! kinda hope mcgregor wins just because it's a stupid fight.. but also hope pbf KO's mcgregor into a different planet within a few rounds. either way, not that into it.. i'll enjoy watching the replay......... lmfao.

federer sailed through and so did murray.

Nadal vs Muller, been going on 4hrs, hope nadal gets through. its 2-2 sets and 9-9 games.

EDIT: That 10-9 game save by nadal just amazing the last point to get to 10-10 games wow. Nadal had 0 challenges up to the 12th game, then he got 3, really helps to have challenges. All those points and misses which could have been cancelled.

muller has his wide shot serves, which helps him in the returns. Muller is a robot lol. Nadal is the one trying to survive i feel and muller just finding it easy on his serves.

 :( It was just too much for nadal. Epic match and longest match in the tournament.

OMG. Federer vs raonic again in the quarter finals. federer's revenge or raonic's 2nd success.

dude what a match: nadal vs muller!

Man Muller played the match of his life.. I'm shocked how good he looked toward the end of that last set.. Nadal was visibly struggling IMHO, Muller was "coasting", he was in that "zone" for sure.. Everything looked effortless.

Sucks to see Nadal out of it but happy for Muller, what a performance.

Federer will beat Raonic hopefully!

halfway through vacation. went for a run/calisthenics workout in the park with gf in san francisco one day and have been walking a lot but otherwise basically no exercise. it's been kind of exhausting, we're moving around a lot. looking forward to heading to the beach on friday and just sitting still for a while. made a pact with gf to exercise every day -- yoga or calisthenics or tennis or a run or whatever.

nice! she teaches yoga right? must be overall athletic.

Alright will watch. Now it goes on my list including but not limited to:

- Dark Knight Rises
- American Sniper
- The Hateful Eight
- Bone Tomahawk
- Sicaro
- actually pretty much any movie that has a dramatic streak to it.

^^ Sicario is really good.



Just watched Dark Knight Rises trailer to refresh my memory, oh the one with Bane.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/videoplayer/vi2376312089?ref_=tt_ov_vi

dope trailer. My favorite batman movie is "The Dark Knight" with Heath Ledger (RIP).

Bale was an epic batman. He brought it into a "darker" more intense world, which I prefer in comic book/superhero movies.

the movie Inception....

Does anyone here actually understand the exact plot and logic of the movie?

I personally still don't get some parts of it.... such as wtf happened that cause Mal to think the real world was not real (how he locked the totem in a safe or something).... and how the son of that tycoon helped them break into his own subconscious....

Have not seen it. Is it worth my time to invest in it?

yea Inception is solid.. you have to pay attention though, it's a very weird plot.. but I think if you watch it "again", it gets better.. kind of like Deja Vu.

plus, it has Leo in it. :D cast is great overall.. and it's one of Zimmer's best soundtracks IMHO.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/

8.8 on IMDB ... that's really high. :o

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6pwnfmO48" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6pwnfmO48</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcrCdWA8V0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcrCdWA8V0</a>

"Time" is amazing IMHO.. so simple but perfect.

masterpiece soundtrack.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:



I've been wanting to watch it recently .. so can't answer fast's question, as it's not fresh in my head.

8834
actually never saw "Good will Hunting" until today.. very solid.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119217/

RIP Robin Williams, great performance. :/

Great movie.

yea. Wish I would have seen it sooner. Matt Damon is such a beast, really great actor IMHO. "Rounders" is still my favorite performance of his.

My son started saying "how bout dem apples" the other day and I've got no idea where he got from and he certainly hasn't seen this.

haha! I've heard it in a bunch of other movies but not sure where a young kid would pick it up.
