No, any hour now-not much time before the Monday deadline.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

So it's pretty certain this fight will take place at some BS catchweight, like 164. And I'm sure the WBC will bless its favorite pet, Canelo, by putting some ridiculous Cubic Zirconia belt up for grabs in this fight.

LOL.....I think this one is an exception to the rule.

Reports from boxing media state a deal is imminent:

Jacobs should be VERY wary of GGG if the performance of another PBC-protected fighe

Fun fight. Let's hope it happens. Although Jacobs should be VERY wary if John Molina is any indication of what happens when an overprotected PBC fighter is released to swim with the sharks.

Yeah, and look who is pictured in one of the two badges on that belt: Sulaiman's Mexican pet, Canelo.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Not a big deal but that was a less extravagant belt for the Mayweather-Alvarez fight. Below is the one for For Floyd-Pac.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Hopkins was semi-rambling at a press conference a couple/three days ago calling Smith a common fighter as opposed to his "special fighter" status. He dismissed Smith's power and even took credit for ending Kelly Pavlik's career.



Incredibly, Povetkin-Stiverne has just been called as the Russian tests positive again!!!

Sure to be controversial, Deontay Wilder says "Russians are different breed of people".

Do you think Joshua will get by Klitschko fairly easily? By the time they fight in April Wlad will be almost a year and a half inactive (17 months). A lot of factors contributed to his loss to Fury including degrading skills, but I also think the Clown Giant psyched him out.

I am hoping he does. It would be better for heavyweight boxing if Joshua wins to set up a mega fight with Wilder. Fury is a clown. Klitscho winning would not help the heavyweight seen at all

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

What an ending to the Hopkins-Smith fight. Bernard had some flashes but was basically being bullied by Smith throughout the fight. Joe was just too strong and B-Hop was just too old.

Two of the judges had Bernard down by just a point...?????????

Just my opinion but I don't think Hopkins hurt his ankle-He just didn't want anymore.

Any claim of being pushed out of the ring was disproved by the replay.

GGG-Jacobs is officially set for March 18 at Madison Square Garden, with Jacobs probably getting a tick up from a 25% share of the purse.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

To Smith's credit he didn't even question whether Hopkins hurt his ankle- "I knew he was a true champion, and if he didn't get injured, he'd be back here."

The only thing that was hurt on Hopkins was his pride. He was getting handled by a guy he hand picked.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Yeah, Kirkland comes to mind, although a lot of his action came from his bouncing head -By the way, he fights Cotto in February after another long absence. Unless it's surrounded by the best undercard in boxing history I'll stay away (PPV).

it will be interesting to see what the numbers are after this one...cotto hasn't fought in forever (since canelo) and kirkland lost to canelo too. they can try to promote it as cotto's final fight, but good luck with that.
