better than Loma imo. Speaking of Loma, i kind of want to see Mikey fight him but Loma said he was going down i believe.Damn, i had no idea Loma retired. that sucks.

At Welterweight after tonight, I favor Spence over Crawford, probably 2-1. So I would have to rank Spence higherI thought Crawford was #1 p4p
True but Mikey is a beast. He also did a decent job rolling a lot of those punches. He did say he is going back down to 140 so i think he recognized the power.I didn’t see any special power in Spence last night. Mikey took his best shots without flinching.

but no doubt folks are gonna say “he didn’t put down a lightweight so he’s not strong”
Agreed. We will know how powerful he is in due time if he cleans out 147.It raises some questions for me about how much power Spence will have when he inevitably moves up
I can see that but I think Crawford is more versatile and creative. It would make a great fight.At Welterweight after tonight, I favor Spence over Crawford, probably 2-1. So I would have to rank Spence higher
It certainly would, and it's far from a sure thing. But other than being more battle-tested (at lighter weights), there's not much Crawford brings that Spence doesn't match or exceed. Speed, power, stamina, technique, strategy. Spence's chin hasn't been truly tested so there's that possibly.I can see that but I think Crawford is more versatile and creative. It would make a great fight.
Credit to Mikey's Chuvalo-like chin but he was beaten up.I didn’t see any special power in Spence last night. Mikey took his best shots without flinching.
Mikey too a ton of punches but he was never hurt or deterred. Mikey was just too short/small to be able fight back. Spence was almost always out of reach. I’m a huge Spence fan and think he cruises through Manny as well. I’m just saying the win over Mikey wasn’t impressive. It wasn’t unimpressive either.Credit to Mikey's Chuvalo-like chin but he was beaten up.
Spence/Paq in July seems like the next fight. Bigger payday for Spence and a HOF scalp but I don't see Manny as much of a threat at this point.
Wish it was someone better than Crolla, unfortunately there aren't a lot of natural opponents for Lomachenko at this point. Arum's gonna play it safe and not throw Teofimo in there.Happy Loma week. Already told the GF she needs to find something to do Friday.
You're correct about him not having much in the way of opponents.Wish it was someone better than Crolla, unfortunately there aren't a lot of natural opponents for Lomachenko at this point. Arum's gonna play it safe and not throw Teofimo in there.
Lopez is supposedly going to move up to 140 next year, and that'll close the window on a fight, as Lomachenko's already smallish for 135 and is unlikely to ever go up any further. My guess is that even though a fight would possibly elevate both (Canelo's loss to Floyd ultimately didn't harm his career), Arum's not going to let them fight.You're correct about him not having much in the way of opponents.
Teofimo would be interesting but he has a lot of big money fights ahead of him as he keeps piling up these highlight KOs.
I think Loma's next fight will be critical to see where he goes.
Between getting back down two weight classes, having to cross the street, and Uncle Bobby being none too fond of Garcia...I don't think the chances are good. Think it'll be Luke Campbell next.Bring on Garcia
Looking forward to this. They have an all access for it as well.Keith R said:Tonight features the biggest women's fight in history. Undefeated American Clarissa Shields vs undefeated German Cristina Hammer with the winner becoming the first undisputed Women's World Middleweight Champion. Showtime
You mean Teofimo fights next week. GiggityLooking forward to this. They have an all access for it as well.
also munguia is fighting tonight on DAZN.
next week Khan Crawford. Giggity.
im looking forward to both. Will be sitting ringside as well.You mean Teofimo fights next week. Giggity
They're all free if you look in the right places and have a good ad-blocker.Ilov80s said:Hate the direction boxing is right now with DAZN, ESPN+, Showtime and PPV.
Really enjoy the shtick of him going to Lomachenko/Crolla and staying on his phone the whole time.im looking forward to both. Will be sitting ringside as well.
Sure and so were the previous models but I am not opposed to paying for things....this is just ridiculous thoughThey're all free if you look in the right places and have a good ad-blocker.
Also, even if you can find free methods of watching fights, such a split-up marketplace means great fights aren't being made. I'm with youSure and so were the previous models but I am not opposed to paying for things....this is just ridiculous though
Agree, that part's always been an issue. One can only hope that the money becomes so attractive at some point that people are willing to cross lines to make it happen. But from the PBC's perspective, is a Spence/Crawford fight more profitable than a Spence/Porter one?Also, even if you can find free methods of watching fights, such a split-up marketplace means great fights aren't being made. I'm with you
And now the pie is split three ways- PBC, DAZN & Top Rank.Agree, that part's always been an issue.

agree 100%. Kahn has failed in all his big fights. Good fighter with a glass jaw. IMOHow are others feeling about Crawford-Khan as a PPV ME? I would certainly watch if on a regular channel, might finally pull the trigger on ESPN+ if it was on that, but I'm not planning on ordering this. I've always liked Khan as well as Crawford but this is not a PPV-worthy fight for me. A stronger undercard could have made it more of a debate IMO.
Tickets to the fight are basically the same price as the ppv. And there are still tons of tickets left. Im going to the fight so looking forward to it but ppv is tough. The undercard isnt bad however. Lopez and stevenson.How are others feeling about Crawford-Khan as a PPV ME?

Yeah, going to the fight is a different question altogether, though not an option for me.Tickets to the fight are basically the same price as the ppv. And there are still tons of tickets left.

Dan Rafael made exactly zero mention of the Shakur Stevenson tape. Kinda lets you know which way the wind's blowing on that one.Heard kell brook will be in attendance to challenge the winner.
wonder if Spence will show up just because.
also I’m surprised Stevenson is fighting after his incident.
I'd watch Bud fight that little baby Japanese kickboxer or Claressa Shields or a heavy bag, it doesn't matter. Guy's an artist.I think the undercard is the strength of the ppv.
With that being said it's 4/20 tomorrow and I'm going to have to watch some boxing high as a kite. That sounds pretty damn amazing to me.
