What Upcoming Fights Excite You?

Post by Impractical Poster »

I am asking because I just meandered over to the boxing schedule on ESPN to see if I could find any matches that would interest me. These are the key dates they have listed.

Key dates:
April 25: Las Vegas -- Naoya Inoue vs. John Riel Casimero, 12 rounds, IBF/WBA/WBO bantamweight unification. (ESPN+/prelims ESPN2)

May 9: Fresno, Calif. -- Jose Ramirez vs. Viktor Postol, 12 rounds, for Ramirez's WBC/WBO junior welterweight title (ESPN/ESPN Deportes)

June 20: London -- Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev, 12 rounds, for Joshua'a IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight titles

July 18: Las Vegas -- Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder, 12 rounds, for Fury's WBC heavyweight title and lineal title (ESPN+ PPV)

I didn't bother to scroll through the regular schedule because if these are the KEY fights on the horizon for the next few months, I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be anything on the regular schedule that tickles my taint.

Is there anything else, or are those 4 match-ups the hottest thing going in the sport right now?

Personally I'm more excited to see Usyk versus Chisora than either of the two heavyweight match ups you listed.

May 23: O2 Arena, London

They got a Flamin Hot Doritos flavor now. That flavor is freaking everywhere now.

I think that was a specialized mega hot chip. Don't think Doritos had anything to do with that one.

That was the Paqui One Chip Challenge.

Probably burnt his legs out 6 minutes after he ate it.

Holy fornicate didn't even think of that. One month away, rate it's moving in America right now.... That fight is cursed and will be in a tricky spot. Even if they have noone in the stands just fuking do it for the tv... Can't be re scheduled for the 5th or 6th time...

Similar to everyone else:
Joyce v Dubois
Briedis v Dorticos
Kelly v Avanesyan
Inoue v Casemiro
Whyte v Povetkin
AJ v Pulev
Usyk v Chisora
(Khabib v Ferguson)

Then the ones I'm more interested in the result rather than the fight itself:
Taylor v Serrano
Canelo v BJS
Fury v Wilder

Weili Zhang vs Joanna Jedrzejczyk should be a good one tonight. Zhang looks really good. I think she'll get the stoppage.
