Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Man **** Chavez. He is just a rich kid playing boxer. Facing another smaller guy who can't hurt him so he half-asses a fight gets a gift from the Ref because his last name is Chavez and very generous scoring.

I want so badly for him to fight Ward just to see him get embarrassed and destroyed. I want it so much I would pay PPV prices just to see it. I have no respect for Chavez Jr none whatsoever.

Could not agree more.
JR is an absolute joke.
The only chance he has in any fight is to come in 30lbs over the limit and hopefully bully a much smaller opponent.
When a real fighter, like Fonfara, is put in front of him, he's exposed for the light-hitting, poorly conditioned, unprofessional clown that he is.

I'm a huge proponent for limiting a fighters rehydration weight and JR is a prime example of why.
Chavez refused to let Showtime weigh him on the day of the fight, but ESPN estimates that he came in at anywhere between 190-200lbs.
And yet, he was still unable to put away a natural middleweight, who's also fought at 154.

I really want the Chavez JR train to come to an abrupt stop. Please start fining or suspending him for continuously missing weight, or cap his rehydration levels.

This guy is an absolute disgrace to the sport and fighters all over the world who actually put in the hard work needed to be a real fighter.

I want him to get in the ring with Kovalev or GGG so bad just so we can see him get absolutely destroyed.

But that'll never happen. He'll continue to fight Oompa Loompa's to feed his pot and Cheeto's habit while living off his daddy's name.

I have to admit, my optimism about what Robert Garcia could do for him, was probably unrealistic.

I still think Garcia can turn him around. If he can't, then it's no fault of his.
Freddie Roach couldn't even get him to train properly.

I'm sure if JR grew up poor he wouldn't be acting like this. You can't force a guy to have heart and desire.

I called it. But PPV tho? I dunno about that, it'll be an entertaining fight though.

HBO probably testing to see if GGG can be a PPV attraction.

Why SPRINGS, you don't think it'll get enough buys or you don't think it's worth paying for? Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, who now has me interested in the flyweight division, will be on the undercard.

Did anyone notice how the crew was bringing up a Kovalez-Pascal rematch possibility? Anyone really want to see that again, especially considering he probably lost to Gonzalez anyway?

Andre Ward's camp said they're not interested in fighting Kovalez right now, as they look for a fight with GGG.

Meanwhile Kovalez continues to look like wrecking ball. He possibly broke Mohammedi's nose AND orbital bone with a right hand and a jab.

The fight it self will be entertaining i'm sure, and i think GGG's name is growing and he could be a solid ppv fighter, i just don't think lemiux's name is big enough to warrant ppv. it might not sell well.

Put it this way, i look at it as the same type of fight as canelo vs kirkland, i knew it was an entertaining fight, but i didn't think it was ppv worthy either. Mayweather and pacquiao are really the only fighters that can fight those type of fighters on ppv and get away with it.

I do need to see more of roman gonzalez tho, i've only seen a little of him, and i liked what i saw.

I thought he hit/poked Mohammedi in the eye with his thumb unintentionally (if it was a poke). Nadjib was going down regardless though.

Rumors are swirling for Kovalez- Beterbiev at the end of the year, despite promotional rivalries.

Thats doable if Haymon allows Beterbiev to fight on HBO. Thats a big if though.

Not many 175 guys willing to fight Beterbiev, so Haymon might not have too many other options. Fonfara might be willing.

Pac vs Khan is a good fight. Hope it gets done for next year. If not wouldn't mind seeing Kell get a crack at one of them

I wonder if Khan-Brook could rival Frosh-Groves II as a UK money maker?

I think so. It might even surpass the numbers Froch and Groves did as Khan and Brook are more popular than Groves. I feel that a lot of the interest for Froch-Groves 2 was due to the early stoppage (IMO) that occurred in their first fight. A lot of people felt that Groves was still in the fight and should have been given a chance to fight on. I'd rather see a fight stopped late than early. That's just me though.
