Been going around lately. Nery missed by a ton a couple months ago.Cjw_55106 said:Looks like a broken nose for one guy and a broken jaw for the other. That said, I just don’t understand how you miss weight in a title fight.
Lot of good dudes at 140 lbs., I still would rate Lipinets in the Top 5.PinkydaPimp said:Impressive win by Mikey Garcia! Good fight.
Yeah, still don’t understand it. You get very limited title shots and to win and not get a title seems a ridiculous spot to put yourself in.Been going around lately. Nery missed by a ton a couple months ago.
yea its going to be interesting how things play out at 135/140/147. all sorts of fights to be made.Lot of good dudes at 140 lbs., I still would rate Lipinets in the Top 5.
Also really nice win by Relikh. Barthelemy is just pure garbage on nearly every level.
May is so loaded. Also might now contain the pushed-back Crawford/Horn fight.Loma vs Linares May 12 at the Garden.
Sgo
Imam in a bit of trouble IMO. No matter who wins, this will not go the distance.Imam-Ramirez starting on ESPN soon, could be a really good fight. Also it's another chapter in the epic Arum-King battle.
I didn't think Imam was getting out of that on his feet either .Cjw_55106 said:I was wrong, they went the distance. Despite Tim Bradley’s seeming love for Imam, he was outclassed in this one.
Mike Tysons first 15 fights...who on that list isnt a tomato can? Most fighters fight hand picked opponents so they can learn and gain confidenceConlan knocking out another tomato can with a bloated record.
I think that has more to do with cultural and economic reasons than his skill. He if was from Latvia or Panama or something, he wouldn't be on TV or drawing any attention. It's just St. Patricks Day in NY and he is Irish.Everyone starts with tomato cans, I get that. Not everyone gets to start on ESPN. If you are good enough to get prime coverage, you should be fighting better fighters IMO.
One guy had 120-108, that is even more bonkers imo.One judge had it 115-113! Gotta love boxing. The right guy won a unanimous decision, but cmon.
Hope it happens but wouldn't blame GGG if he declined after Canelo's dirty tests
Sounds like he's still gonna do itHope it happens but wouldn't blame GGG if he declined after Canelo's dirty tests
Seems like it but one more Canelo slip up will end itSounds like he's still gonna do it
It's a #### load of money. If he fights that other guy it's a huge downgrade in payI think g is ####### with his head. He is not passing up that payday.
They need each other, in a sense. Nobody really gave a #### about Liam Smith or Khan, rightly so. JCC Jr. was basically a 3-card Monte trick that was only put over by the GGG announcement right after, to make every forget about what a ####ty fight that was. Canelo's credibility would've been further eroded if he hadn't fought Golovkin last year, they just couldn't have gone much further.It's a #### load of money.

I'm a big ggg fan. Hoping he kicks canelos ###They need each other, in a sense. Nobody really gave a #### about Liam Smith or Khan, rightly so.

Weirdly, Spike O'Sullivan is claiming he's next for Canelo in the Fall. Fan-friendly fighter, but it is a major step-down in competition, again, for Alvarez. Lot of tough fights in that division with Jacobs, Saunders and Charlo, he will have to tread carefully after this fight with GGG.
AJ looks like a more polished power puncher while JP looks like a busier more violent puncher.....but the good bigger man will win this fight by the 8th rdAnybody else going to watch Joshua Parker?
Something tells me Parker wins early. Could be the edible though.
80-1 on each of the first 3 rounds. I think Parker just tries to pressure him early and hope for the best.
He's making sure these guys don't get in a fight.That ref is nuts
Two judges gave Paker 2 rounds and the other gave him one? I think he slipped another round or two in there, but yea, he got beat.didnt expect the cards to be that one sided. but..
Being the money draw has its privileges.btw this isnt making a good case for joshua to hold the wilder fight in the uk with these ref issues.
Same. Time for the big one is now.I had it 115-113 Joshua.
Hoping they sign Joshua-Wilder now, to take some of the sting off of Canelo's imminent suspension
