Weird angle on that last punch to the temple (top photo). I think the middle photo is the first shot that started it all. To Quillin's credit he actually kept his balance...barely.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

The Middleweight division is so great right now.
I just hope Saul doesn't stuff his belt into his man-purse and demand to only fight at 155.
Otherwise, there a handful of great fights to be had at 160.

I really hope this becomes a reality.

Yeah, they ran into each other at DeGale-Bute and Stevenson was even a "sit down special guest" interview that same night, but I make nothing of this. Even Stevenson was chuckling about HBO-ShowTime and I gathered that might have been part of his conversation with Sergio. If the fight ever happens I'd be shocked if it's in 2016. In fact with Andre Ward adding to the 175's star power and Beterbiev on the fringes, I still won't hold my breath for any of these four meeting anytime soon. No matter how much posturing is done a fight is not a fight until they get in the ring.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Jr knocked-out again.

Spoiler

Please Roy, just hang them up already.

Dec 10th article on Roy.
Kind of explains his rationale for continuing his career.
But not really.
But it's still a good read and goes into what he's doing in his life now.

I would say Paulie Malignaggi needs to retire too, but I have to give him credit for his work ethic. He wins his fight in London and then does mike duties for Sky Sports.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Good heavyweight battle between Luis Ortiz and Bryant Jennings this Saturday on HBO. Ortiz is a slight favorite. Nicholas Walters is also on the card.

I'm looking forward to this card; Jennings / Ortiz has potential to be a good fight. If I read correctly Walters opponent isn't a soft touch either.

My picks:
I have Ortiz by KO8
I have Walters MD12

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

When I first saw Ortiz on the undercard of GGG/Lemieux I believe; I immediately thought of Mr. Sandman from Mike Tyson's Punchout, lol.

He's already 36-37 years old, so I'm not sure how long until he gets a shot at a title holder. I think he can beat Wilder and Fury at the moment. Though, the Bryant Jennings fight will truly tell us what he's all about.

Reminder: Luis Ortiz VS Bryant Jennings on HBO Boxing After Dark for anyone that's interested.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I was expecting some real fireworks from the U.K.; unfortunately Andy Lee vs BJ Saunders was a bit dull, except for maybe 3 rounds.

Still uncertain about Saunders, but the MW contender has recently beaten Eubanks Jr and now Lee to earn his first belt...unfortunately he's also made it clear he will not fight his mandatory whom I believe is GGG.

I can't recall many heavyweight bouts in 2015 amongst top ten contenders, but Ortiz/Jennings can be really be exciting and I hope it delivers.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Through 4; Jennings/Ortiz is delivering. Jennings hurt rounds 1/3, but still fighting hard inside. Ortiz landing more damaging punches. Has already exceeded my expectations.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

My prediction was a round off; wow, Ortiz is the truth. Can't wait to see more of him.

Yeah, Jennings hung in there, but "King Kong" was too much. I'm sure no one will be rushing to fight him. Does anyone think Bermane Stiverne will take him on? Wilder will have setups until he can get a fight with Fury or Wlad.

Haven't seen the controversial draw between Nicholas Walters and Jason Sosa yet. Quite an upset-Walters was going up to junior lightweight (130) for the first time, but remember he couldn't make weight for his featherweight (126) title bout last time out. I fast forwarded to Ortiz-Jennings but caught the wrap-up to this fight, and noticed that Letterman gave 9 of 10 rounds to Walters and Kellerman gave all 10 rounds to the champ.
