Re: Do you approve of Tyson Fury fighting Chisora in December? (poll)

Doesn't surprise me, every couple fights Fury likes to fight someone with no business getting a title shot. Chisora isn't terrible but thinking about the Pulev fight. How Chisora looked like a shot version of White, makes me like this matchup even less then I already do. Wouldn't buy it on PPV but I...

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Omar Figueroa | FOX - July 23, 2022

Why did he take 2 years out after beating Robert Guerrero in 2017?
Exactly. Before the layoff he was a sharp young fighter. When he came back he had put on weight, looked slower and disinterested. Probably ran out of $$ for coke and whores.

Re: what does sergey kovalev need to do to deserve hof induction?

He's also an asshole. He's not getting in on charm. He was very popular in his prime, beat the hell out of a lot of good fighters, but the image of him getting blasted in the balls by Ward is what comes to mind when you think of his career. Destroyed his tough guy image, now he's remembered as anoth...

Mungy isn't the most graceful boxer out there and he's still fighting club fighters and fringe contenders but his activity rate has to be commended. Certainly quantity has a quality all it's own. He's not exactly fighting tomato cans either. These guys have very good records. The problem is they've ...

Re: Adrien Broner vs. Omar Figueroa | FOX - July 23, 2022

How far has Omar Figueroa fallen to end up in this clown show? At one point he was a fine lightweight champion, good power, reflexes, and technique. It seems like he became irrelevant in a hurry after putting on weight and moving to welterweight. Didn't have the same power and speed and hasn't been ...

The ‘0’ in the ‘50-0’
I brought my friend to a bar to watch a Mayweather fight, he's a casual and knows nothing about boxing. He was confused for the first few rounds until he figured it out, told me, 'Everyone's hoping he gets knocked out.'

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Dillian Whyte | ESPN PPV - April 23, 2022

Whyte was set up so well, Fury took that little feint back then stepped forward right as Whyte did. Beautiful short crisp uppercut, Fury's first of the fight. Absolutely devastating. This fight has to raise Wilder's stock, correct? A lot of people have argued that Wilder was crap and if he fought a ...

Re: Can We Stop Saying Ugas Hurt Spence Please????

I agree. Considering he was cold cocked by Ugas when he was looking down and reaching to pick up his mouthpiece (with gloves on) the punch did surprisingly little damage. I didn't expect him to recover so fast. I was waiting for a Laurence Cole moment, we almost had one. Ugas seemed confused to, he ...

Re: Hospitalized, wheelchair-bound Adrien Broner promises “I’ll get through it!”

Even if you severely dislike the guy, and I’m not his biggest fan either, it’s impossible to deny that he was once considered one of the best fighters on the planet.

Re: Hospitalized, wheelchair-bound Adrien Broner promises “I’ll get through it!”

I get tired of hearing 'what a waste of talent he was'. 'If he'd only take boxing seriously he could be great'. The truth is he wasn't that good to begin with and at 32 he's a washed up has-been. When he fought Maidana he was in the best condition of his life and got destroyed. He's not an example o...

Re: Is Fury shot but he doesn't even know it?

The title of this thread seems fishy, as does the premise. Fury handled Wilder easily all 3 times. He's taken Wilder's hardest punches, gotten up off the floor, and kicked his ass. Fury was shot when he coughed up the titles and came back from it. He'll be shot again soon enough. I don't see White g...
