Is this Brook - Gavin fight being televised in the US?

Kind of dig that the PBC fights don't have the long walk-ins or the ring girls.

One To Keep An Eye On — British heavyweight prospect Anthony Joshua is 25 years old. In 2012, Joshua won the Olympic Gold Medal for Great Britain. Standing 6'6 and nearly 250 pounds, he resembles a cross between Lennox Lewis and Joe Louis. The power and the poise are present in Joshua. Promoted by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sports, Joshua is now 13-0 with 13 knockouts after stopping the usually durable trialhorse Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson in two rounds yesterday. The win has some folks convinced that Joshua is the future of the heavyweight division and they might well be right.

I've seen him fight, he is a major force. There are some good HW fights to be made.

Nice. Say hi to GGG.

[PinkydaPimp]

Roach confirms that back-up fighters are in place should Geale fail to make weight

what if GGG was the backup!!!

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I hope Geale gets destroyed. #### that guy.

 

[El Floppo]

so this could be a ####-show is what you're saying.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

Should be fun. there will be a good crowd there. i was there last week and it was fun. But all the ricans will be out for this one. Should be a good time.

 

[Ilov80s]

I would be shocked if Geale can't make wait. This. is a big pay day for him.

 

[Ilov80s]

Looks like both made weight

Guerrero epitomizes everything that is good about boxing. He's a good guy whose backstory is well known: He gave up a world title to be a stay-at-home dad and look after his children while his wife, Casey, fought leukemia.

Since Casey's recovery, Robert has teamed with her to bring awareness and raise money for the cause.

He's a sports hero in the best kind of way.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Interested to see Cotto and how he looks after the long layoff

And Sergio was a 1 legged fighter that had no business fighting. Cotto has a lot of questions to answer.

 

[Ilov80s]

Hey guys, boxing is dead. Just ignore this huge lively crowd at Barclays.

 

[Ilov80s]

Cotto looked 28 again. Cotto vs Canelo is going to be legendary.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Cotto with Roach is a combo im down to see vs any of the top options right now...Cotto never has a bad fight, his losses are even entertaining.

Yea i will admit, i love this combo. really looking forward to the canelo fight.

 

[El Floppo]

Paulie Walnuts was there. Almost ran me down in the can "alright Paulie!"... "how you doin"

It was a thing.

 

[El Floppo]

let's get ready to etc.

max, roy, jim getting makeup.

seats were great- 4th row above ringside. problem was, the pads in that corner were huge and we had a cameraman standing next to them- both blocked a lot of the action, including the knockout punch.

 

[El Floppo]

seemed like Cotto was all over Geale from the opening bell... but the pads and the cameraman were in the way. is that how it went?

Middle aged white guys aren't exactly the target audience for boxing. Also, you have major issues.

 

[El Floppo]

fwiw- as noted above- Barclays was packed to the rafters and hopping.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Geale hydrated up to 180-ish by fight time? Jesus.

Cotto looked really great.

Robert Guerrero was handed a gift from the judges

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Is cotto v alvarez happening?? Then ggg vs the winner??

 

[Ilov80s]

Cotto v Canelo is like 80% likeky to happen in September. If Canelo wins, I would think he fights GGG the following September.

 

[Ilov80s]

Good cards on HBO and Show tonight. Including Deontay Wilder.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

If Wilder wins as expected, might this set up a de facto heavyweight unification tourney among the top names in the division? Fury v. Klitschko and Wilder v. Povetkin, with the winners facing off?

 

[Ilov80s]

Wilder fight was very fun. That Alabama crowd was hot too.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

yea props to molina for hanging in there. Wilder probably should have put him away earlier though.

Yeah you could tell Wilder was legitimately worried about Molina's power after he stunned him twice early.

 

[gump]

Kltsch v Wilder fight not likely this year:

[Ilov80s]

I guess Andre Ward criticized GGG for not wanting to fight him. GGG fired back hard.

[Good Posting Judge]

Yeah, I like Ward because he's a local guy, and I realize he's been off for awhile so it makes sense to knock the rust off and get a tune-up, but it'd be hard to respect him if he doesn't take a big fight soon.
