Elsalvajeloco Posted June 15, 2024 Author Posted June 15, 2024 I am watching the PBC prelim feed for the Davis/Martin & Benavidez/Gvozdyk card. Since this card is the 100th boxing card at MGM since it opened in 1994, they have a long and impressive montage of all the great moments and stars from the past 30 years. Really, really well done.
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 16, 2024 Author Posted June 16, 2024 If Davis/Martin was any indication, Loma outboxes Tanks for the first several rounds only to get absolutely demolished in the late rounds once Tank gets dialed in.
DreamBroken Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 is now official for what was the original date for Paul/Tyson.
hammerva Posted July 5, 2024 Posted July 5, 2024 So Ryan Garcia has been banned from the WBC based on him being a racist piece of shit. It is clear that he has some serious mental issues as well as being a racist piece of shit Right now Dana White must be salivating at their next big star to push. They only need about 5 minutes of his shit to make him the most popular guy in UFC 1
waffle Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 Shields became the first boxer since (and second ever) Roy Jones Jr. to win Middleweight and Heavyweight titles. Is there anymore female heavyweight titles? If not, she becomes the first boxer to win undisputed titles in four divisions I believe.
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 Several years ago, there were actual female "heavyweight" champions. Problem was, much like now, there was only three women in the division if that. Honestly, Shields is more a natural junior middleweight. For her to go up to whatever weight necessary to do this tells you about the talent above 154-160 being pretty much nonexistent. That and stopping someone that easily when she herself is far from a puncher. Unfortunately, all the talent in women's boxing is concentrated 3 or 4 weight classes (depending on where she chooses to fight) down. Those weight classes are kinda top heavy as well TBH, but definitely not as barren as anything past junior welter and/or welterweight.
WebConn89 Posted August 18, 2024 Posted August 18, 2024 I was watching the fights on ESPN last night that one dude put up a valiant effort in the main fight with one arm for most the fight.
The Natural Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 Just now, waffle said: Wow, Dubois! What a finish. Listened on BBC Radio 5 Live. Sounds like a right twatting with AJ getting knocked down 4 times by Daniel Dubois.
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 21, 2024 Author Posted September 21, 2024 1 minute ago, waffle said: Wow, Dubois! What a finish. Daniel Dubois put together a performance of a lifetime in dispatching Anthony Joshua. Then at the very end, avoided what could have been a disastrous sequence where AJ stunned him by hitting a beautiful counter right hand to put AJ down again and down for good. 1

The Natural Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 (edited) It's years too late but I'd like to see Joshua/Wilder. It'll come down to who lands first. It's going three rounds or less. I'd fancy Wilder with the power he has but the trilogy with Fury was a life changing beating particularly the third. Edited September 21, 2024 by The Natural
waffle Posted September 21, 2024 Posted September 21, 2024 Fury v. Joshua if Fury loses the rematch would be a good match up. 1

Death From Above Posted September 22, 2024 Posted September 22, 2024 Well so much for Usyk vs Joshua any time soon. 1
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 Didn't need that a third time. Dubois now has worked himself into a potential Usyk rematch despite his only hilight in their fight was a low blow 1

Death From Above Posted September 23, 2024 Posted September 23, 2024 It's not like Dubois is going to be close either. I guess there's the rematch with Fury or nothing now. Unles Usyk kills Zhang or something lol
Dolfan in NYC Posted September 24, 2024 Posted September 24, 2024 Mike is going to legitimately kill him. 1

The Natural Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Artur Beterbiev beats Dmitry Bivol, KO/TKO in R7 is my prediction to become undisputed light-heavyweight champion. An 0 will go unless it's a draw!
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 12, 2024 Author Posted October 12, 2024 I have been undecided on the result. Just based on how easy Bivol seems formulate and stick with his gameplans for the entirety of a fight, this could be an easy 119-109 or 118-110 3x type fight in his favor. As much as I like Beterbiev, he hasn't had this big challenge that has forced to go beyond what he normally does. I don't think age has affected him as much as inactivity and really soft schedule. And by soft, I don't mean he wasn't fighting bums cause Callum Smith, Yarde, and Joe Smith are okay. However, stylistically? Beterbiev should have been able to stop ALL his recent opponents inside the distance and he ultimately did. Gvozdyk is probably the last guy I would say I thought posed a challenge on paper to him. That was literally now five years ago (October 2019). That was so long ago that Gvozdyk just made a comeback to boxing recently. Beterbiev, despite holding three of the major titles in the division, is basically an unknown quantity for this stage of his career as far as what he looks like when he's pushed. Maybe he can make Bivol crumble somehow, but there's a very good chance he doesn't.
waffle Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 What did everybody think? Mad Bivol gave up the last three rounds. He looked GREAT the entire fight. I had him with the slight edge winning it, but so many close rounds. 116-112 was a crazy scorecard. I need the rematch.
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 12, 2024 Author Posted October 12, 2024 I think Bivol overestimated the lead he had built up. That back quarter of the fight felt like the boxing version of "nothing cheap, nothing deep". As a result, that probably kept Beterbiev alive on the scorecards.
