Re: Boxing Off-Topic

LOL, yeah, we're good. Sometimes I get the feeling you don't like Deontay.



For me it's not complicated. I'm not saying Wilder scored longevity points in his trilogy with Fury, but sometimes boxing is more about the physics of collision than the sweet science.



I know the WBC is going to order the fight but it's not quite official. I favor Wilder but by no means do I guarantee he will prevail.



I'm focused on Bivol-Ramirez although I'm not crazy about putting up DAZN money for it.

I am absolutely stoked for Bivol vs Zurdo!!! Most "experts" are saying Bivol will win easy. Personally, I'm not so sure about that. Zurdo is a BIG light heavyweight. I have no idea how he was able to fight at 168. There's always a chance Bivol could have a let-down after coming off a big hype, big money fight with Canelo. Could be a trap fight for him. Not saying Zurdo will win, but I'm not going to be surprised if he does. It should be interesting and I'm looking forward to it!

Looks like they ordered the ruiz- wilder fight with the winner fighting uzsyc or fury!! looks like march 18th!! good fight and different styles!!lol I have nothing against wilder my man think he os great for our community and uplifting with ko power at any time I just see flaws that show he is carefully matched and like any other boxer I try to see how different boxers would fight him!! I hope he fights his heart out and we get the best of both!!

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Zurdo was definitely outclassed by Bivol yesterday. Hope Bivol and Beterbiev can hook up soon but it looks like that isn't going to happen right away. They're talking about a Bivol v Canelo rematch first. Personally I don't have much desire to see a rematch but money dictates everything

I'm really hoping Bivol's camp is throwing out Canelo's name to up the anti from Beterbiev's side.
I believe both guys genuinely do want to fight each other.
But as usual, I'm sure the promoters will get in the way.

And I totally agree with you. I have 0 interest in a Canelo rematch.
He needs to fight Benavidez. But I don't think that ever happens.
Canelo hasn't looked the same the last few fights. He's getting older, moving up in weight has sapped his punch output, and his handspeed isn't what it once was.

still boggled on why zurdo never fought canelo....MUCH more of a rivalry bout between two highly decorated mexican fighters and the money on the ppv would have been off the charts. i mean, if you're gonna lose your undefeated status, why not to canelo? (just like canelo did with floyd). how about the canelo-zurdo winner vs. the bivol-beterbiev winner? the build up would be amazing.

Maybe if Bivol-Canelo or Bivol-Zurdo never happened. It looks like a Bivol-Canelo rematch will be in the works for May. Bivol will take the money and not even think about Beterviev for a long time, if ever.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Fury in control in the 8th round.
Didn’t realize the fight was outdoors with a wind chill factor in the 30’s.

EDIT: Actual temperature is 43° With a “feel like” 39°.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Stopped with seconds left in the 10th. Chisora was bullied the entire fight but showed a great chin.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Fury is just different man. It’s hard to compare boxing across eras and all that. But just a dude that big, who can move, has hand speed, power, footwork, a chin, can get up from those bombs from Wilder, he’s crazy.

Hopefully he gets the fight with Usyk even though I think it would just be another relatively easy win without some one shot haymaker to take him down or hurt him. I just don’t see anybody who can outbox him outside of a lucky shot.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Fury simply looks unbeatable. Period.

He probably is.

I'd like to see Joyce take on the likes of Ruiz, Wilder, or AJ considering Usyk and Fury are probably immediately destined for each other.

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Some of the other coldest boxing matches were the underwhelming Leonard Duran 3 (December 7, Las Vegas), and the exciting Hagler vs Mugabi (March 10, Las Vegas).

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Why did Chocolatito take the first 6 rounds off?
His corner had to plead with him to get going and he looked so much better in the final 6 rounds.

I'd definitely watch a 4th fight between them as I think Roman won the 2nd fight.

Yeah the slow start killed it for Chocolatito... Still a close fight though and I would definitely be interested in a 4th fight between these two
