Elsalvajeloco Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Now that the tuneup phase is over, we can move on to Tank vs. Ryan Garcia hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffle Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 That was a fun fight. Tank gets hit quite a bit, wonder if Ryan's power will be enough to hurt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank gets hit quite a bit, wonder if Ryan's power will be enough to hurt him. I am not sure if it's fighting down to the level of his opponent (although Isaac Cruz is far from a bum), but Tank basically takes the first third of the fight off and then wants to mix it up in the middle of the fight just so he can get a stoppage off one big shot. With Ryan Garcia, I dunno if he can just simply do that. I am not the biggest Ryan Garcia fan, but I believe he can get Tank offscript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Artur Beterbiev and Anthony Yarde had a pretty damn entertaining scrap. Even though he got stopped, I was honestly more impressed with Yarde. He managed to make Beterbiev look like an old man in certain spots of the fights to the point where Beterbiev looked spent. Beterbiev finally landed the finishing blow, but Yarde made him earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 For those who missed it, Anthony Joshua had either the most impressive unimpressive performance or the most unimpressive impressive performance in heavyweight boxing history yesterday against Jermaine Franklin. Cannot decide yet which it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked like he would rather be doing something else On one front he did...on the other not so much. Hearn basically had the tell the truth and admit Joshua didn't look anywhere close to being worthy of fighting Fury (or even Wilder which is kinda crazy). That's hilarious on two levels. First level, Hearn couldn't even hype up that performance and he's hyped up some stinkers from his stable. Second level, Fury did all that shit to not fight Usyk so he can get Joshua only for Joshua to beat Franklin and not blow him out. So now Fury is on...what? Possible temporary retirement #3? I saw someone (may have been Hearn) talk about him fighting Otto Wallin. If he didn't look good against a much shorter fighter with no power, I am not sure he looks much better against taller and rangier guy with no power who's a proven tough out. He should just fight Dillian Whyte, who seems to find creative ways to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Between Fury, Joshua, Whyte, Joyce, Dubois and Wardley there's enough domestic UK fights to be made to fill up a couple of years on the fight calendar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an okay fighter, but as a prospect, I didn't see how being a half foot taller than everyone he fights something that called for multiple Showtime main events.

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hope folks didn't put much in that Joe Joyce bucket. Guy who is already too old even by HW standards gets handled by an older fighter who is already too old even by HW standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Never seen Zhang fight before as a pro but vaguely remember him from the Olympics ages ago. Surprisingly good hand speed for a guy on the edge of being potato shaped. Hard to say much about his defense because Joyce couldn't really test it from any of the highlights I've seen, most of his punches looked very slow and it seems like getting rocked early took most of the sting out of him. I can't see Zhang beating any of the top guys but hey, that left hand is no joke so he'll probably get at least one big payday out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's guaranteed one just cause even though he beat Joyce he didn't really inherit this boogeyman aura that Joyce sorta had post Dubois ass whooping. He exposed the guy who exposed another guy. He's basically the baseline for a mandatory challenger who is good enough to get a title shot but not good enough to threaten the titlist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
