This makes me happy!
Story of DSG's career. He just keeps winning though. I love his timing. Best asset.
Meh. Danny can't do anything if Thurman uses that much movement. Seems like Thurman needs a new nickname. He doesn't have 1 punch power (any power?) and really wins through movement and quickness. Keith "The Artful Dodger" Thurman maybe.
I agree. Skip a rematch, at least for now. Thurman vs Brook/Spence winner is the match to make
The one caveat is that it sounds like Brook's getting really close to having to move up. Hosting Thurman in the UK would be a massive fight, but at some point he's going to have to bail. The only issue is that where there are big $$$ fights to be made at 147 (Khan, Pac, Thurman, Broner!!!!), 154 is full of dangerous fighters with nowhere near the financial upside: Lara, Andrade, J-Rock, Hurd, Lubin, etc. Fascinating division, but a fairly chaotic one.
I would rather see a Porter rematch than a Garcia rematch. That was a better fight and Porter was more successful than Garcia was. Broner seems bound to fight Garcia or Thurman at some point. What's Bradley up to? He would be an exciting fight for Thurman.
In the post-fight presser, Thurman basically said a lot of options were avail., be it a huge fight against Brook/Spence, something else, or just a stay-busy next. But he seems amenable to making big/interesting fights happen, so that's good.
Brook is legit but Spence can be a once-in-a-generation talent. While not a given, I expect Spence to beat Brook. Thurman-Spence should be easy to make after that. If Khan fights and beats Pac, he could fight the winner of that to truly unify the division.
I like this. I would like to see this.Ilov80s said:
undercard, but man can Katie Taylor ####### box. I hope Hearn starts pushing her quickly a la Lomachenko, she needs some legit opposition. There may not be much tbh.
That's the biggest issue with female boxing: lack of competition.Dunno if anyone caught it on the Haye/Bellew
Hopefully people like Taylor and Shields can push it forward some, even if most of their fights are mismatches on bigger cards. Or for Taylor, maybe a few real fights against Persoon. But I think it's a good look for guys like Hearn to try and push the demographics of the sport and open it up to women. Taylor's already slated for a spot on Crolla/Linares II and Klitschko/Joshua in the next couple months.
Yeah, don't think they're ever gonna see each other. Boxrec lists 23 active super middleweight boxers, where Shields is fighting. There are no female boxers above her in weight, except another 25 or so at heavyweight. May not be a very far climb to the top.
Was rooting for Curtis. I was a fan watching him on NBSN a few years ago when he was knocking everyone out. He's a good fighter but probably time to hang it up. He just was short of being able to hang with the champions.
Yep. KO aside, he was getting hit way too easily. Don't think there's much left for him at this point.
Canelo has earned a GGG fight. I think Canelo boxes Lemeuix's face off just like GGG did. Good fight but Alvarez boxes too well.
I think it would be a good matchup and could see a case made for either winning. But if im Canelo, if im going to take that risk, better take it against GGG. But if they still cant make that fight for September i could see a situation where this one gets made and i think it would be a good fight.
I definitely could see it happening. You really think Lemeiux can hang with Carmelo? I know he always has a punchers chance, but I think he's way behind in skill level.
who knows.... also who knows if he will make weight!
he looked a little chubby last night and i think he would have lost if it went 12 but... he was banking on it not going 12.
Jealous. Having Chocolatito and Cuadras on that card too, even if separately, is a pretty nice night.
