Elsalvajeloco Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Speaking of the Pulev/Dinu fight (which was entertaining for what it was) This is why Bob Arum needs to remain on friendly terms with his new ESPN family member, the UFC. The UFC will be a way better lead in this week (and other weeks where it applies) for Top Rank because they're not going to have the luxury of a big sporting event like the Heisman Trophy ceremonies for every main ESPN card they do.

Was an odd fight to put on with 2 not super well known Europeans but I guess ESPN wanted some programming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Very few title fights will be as one sided as Lomachenko vs. Anthony Crolla. Crolla went down so hard off that short right hand that he spiked DDT'd himself into the mat. Hooray for mandatories. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned about the latter dating back to Crolla's fractured skull stopping an attempted robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The judges did Mungia a solid on Saturday night. Time for his team to teach him some defence and let him move up to Middleweight and work his way up there and learn. Guy was lucky Hogan has 2 fly swatters were his fists should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He punched Inoue a thousand times, couldn't stop him, and got popped a few times in return. He's new Fernando Vargas same weight class and all.

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Diego De La Hoya's opponent got a nasty one too in their fight that went a round and a half. Diego looked like he had a bit of a belly. Still claims he can make 122. LOL sure buddy Edited April 16, 2019 by Serious Darius Bagfelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL sure buddy Yeah, I was trying to watch the DAZN card, the Shields "fight" (as expected, Hammer didn't even attempt to make an effort), and obviously the UFC card. The De La Hoya/Bernache intros are over and next thing I know, the fight is being waved off. Also, it feels like Diego De La Hoya has been a thing forever now. There have been so many prospects that have come along since then and made a bigger impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 Jarrell Miller tested positive on VADA test for Endurabol. The Joshua fight for 6/1 isn't canceled yet but if the NYSAC doesn't clear Miller, Joshua will fight a replacement opponent. Ironic that earlier today I saw that they had sold 17,000 tickets for the Garden with 3,000 still available. Going to be interesting to see how much of that fanfare dissipates if they find some random Matchroom guy (think David Price) for Joshua to demolish. There is novelty in Joshua coming across the Atlantic and Big Baby isn't a name fighter, but there might be a fair amount of refunds given if it's a Trevor Bryan or Artur Szpilka. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Apparently, Big Baby failed a 2nd test for HGH and a third test for EPO and Endurobol. Both tests were taken on the same day (3/31). In a video today, he came forward and took responsibility for his failed tests. That's gold medal level cheating right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I don't know. I think Khan was looking for an out. He was complaining about something in the corner I think before round 4 or 5 and Virgil Hunter told him to ignore it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't like calling someone out. I have never stepped in a ring nor have been punched low but if his balls are where Crawford punched him then he has some anatomical issues 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
