Anyone looking forward to this stacked Riyadh card on Saturday?

Ortiz Madrimov
Hopefully Shakur can show out because he has about lost me as a fan.

Nice afternoon card for the fellas

 

[brianj74]

Very looking forward to it even with two fighters pulling out due to illness. Best part is the PPV is less than $30 ! I expect the main fight to be similar to the first one but with Bivol being more active and winning a close decision. The Ortiz/Madrimov fight should be the best action fight on the card.

 

[GOB]

Prelims starting in 5 minutes.

Super excited for this card. Hope to catch most of it but I have a busy Saturday. Enjoy the fights

 

[Chaos34]

Just started watching. Sounds like I just missed a doozy.

 

[GOB]

Madrimov v Ortiz was fantastic. Im at my daughter's soccer game but what I caught was top notch.

Zheing is far and away my favorite heavyweight to watch.

 

[Chaos34]

Zheing is far and away my favorite heavyweight to watch.

He was awful. Completely outmatched. Kabayel, still undefeated and underrated, was the fun one to watch in that fight.

To be fair, I never said he was good. He hasn't been the same since Joyce 1. But I would watch him fight a cold.

Smith/Buatsi...back and forth fight but Smith did more and rightfully got the W.

Zhang/Kabayel...Kabayel won every round in this and Zhang looks to be done.

Ortiz/Madrimov...started slow but Ortiz won nearly all rounds in the last half of the fight and got the decision but good fight as expected.

Adames/Sherraz...Adames was simply more active and Sherraz can't win playing defense the entire fight but fight ends in a draw, not outraged by any means.

 

[brianj74]

Shakur/Padley...Shakur with 9th round TKO but Shakur looks to have hurt his left hand. Padley takes the fight on four days notice and was game. Never been a Shakur fan but would like to see him fight Tank sometime soon.

 

[GOB]

War Beterbiev

 

[brianj74]

Parker/Bakole...Parker with 2nd round KO. Bakole was a live dog but not a ton of chance with only 3 days notice. Main event up next...

 

[GOB]

Bivol can't keep Beterbiev off of him.

Good fight through 7

 

[GOB]

Beterbiev 5-4 from 9 for me. Bivol has really boxed well last 2-3 rounds. Beterbiev needs something soon

 

[Wingnut]

And newwwwwww!!!

Great fight

 

[GOB]

Bleh. I thought Bivol won the first one so it is what it is.

Thought he fought off his back foot so well the last half of the fight. Just unreal stuff from him

 

[brianj74]

Bivol/Beterbiev...Bivol wins first two rounds, Beterbiev wins next 4 rounds, Bivol wins next five and Beterbiev wins the 12...and judges give it to Bivol by majority decision.

 

[Keith R]

Hated to miss this card but it's the wife's birthday. Sounds like it lived up to the hype, Dubois pulling out notwithstanding

 

[GOB]

Tank Davis tonight. Should be a real snoozer until it isn't.

I'll be watching

 

[GOB]

Majority draw Tank v Roach.

Feel bad for Keyshawn Davis and myself because that's what I wanted in July

 

[Steve Tasker]

Not sure if anyone's watching Delgado/Rodriguez on the Torrez undercard, but not sure I agree with that decision.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Good bout between Torrez Jr and Guido on ESPN+

Tszyu-Spencer about to start om Prime

Tszyu-Spencer about to start om Prime

Didn't seem like Spencer wanted to be there.

One Fight night 30 was yesterday. Muay Thai heavyweight title fight for the main event.

For several months I've been enjoying One championships more than any other combat sports. I haven't seen it yet and like catching them after they've aired because they're 4 hours but skipping the promos, ads and chat between fights makes them go faster.

Lots of big name guys this weekend but unfortunately none are fighting each other.

Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Teofimo on Friday in Times Square. Garcia and Haney should win easily, setting up a presumed Fall re-match. Teo is fighting Barboza, in what should be a close fight. A motivated Teo should do enough to win but who knows what version of Teo we get from fight to fight.

Canelo is fighting an unknown guy named William Scull in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. No know cares about this fight but Canelo's next fight versus Crawford in September is a different story.

Inoue fights in Las Vegas on Sunday and is a heavy favourite as expected.

Ok I really want to start wathching more fights. How do I do it? After Showtime and HBO and regular ESPN got away from it, I started to fade. I miss boxing a lot but I don't know what to do without spending even more money on more dumb streaming services.

 

[brianj74]

DAZN seems to have the majority of stuff now but it's not free unless you go the illegal steaming route but that is another conversation.

Am I correct in saying you have to pay for DAZN and then when they have big fights you still have to get the PPV through them?

 

[brianj74]

Correct.

 

[brianj74]

Times Square card was dreadful. Haney fight was one of the worst of the year. Garcia lost in a major upset, putting the rematch with Haney in major doubt. Teo won easily. Overall, just yuck.

 

[GOB]

I guess I'll watch Canelo beat up Scull.

Super excited for Inuoe tomorrow night. Glad I don't have to wake up at 6am to watch him

 

[brianj74]

Canelo fight and card was a dud. Best part was the post-Canelo fight stare down between Canelo and Crawford.

I fell asleep after the 2nd round. I used to be able to stay up all night for fights now I need to nap before PPVs.

And I get on dudes who tire in the ring. Classic

 

[Keith R]

Time for Monster Inoue, the only fight this weekend I'm watching live

 

[Keith R]

Definitely picked the right fight to watch. This is insane!

 

[GOB]

The Monster!!! God bless that dude.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Navarrete/Suarez anyone?

Navarrete/Suarez anyone?

I don't want to talk about it.
