Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I know this happens with every sport but he’s the one guy I wish I could see square off against guys I grew up watching. Heavyweight division obviously isn’t what it was back then now, but he’s still nearly a 1 of 1 type of guy with that level of size, quickness, and skill. And while Wilder isn’t a great boxer those fights with him showed that Fury can also take a big shot and keep going.

agreed...not much left to prove at this point. thinking the winner between usyk-joshua would be nice way to end his career. usyk would prove legit if he beats joshua again and joshua can redeem himself with a win and earn a shot at fury in the process. can't believe fury would end it all against white, a worthy contender, but wouldn't nearly match the numbers a fury-joshua fight would generate. he can dismiss usyk all he wants, but if the man beats joshua again, i think he earns a shot as well.

I'm super pumped for Taylor vs Serrano tonight! For the first time a women's fight is the main event at Madison Square Garden. It's historic! It should be a great fight and a solid card on DAZN

Im more pumped for the stevenson vs valdez fight two legit young fighters willing to take that chance!! I have stevenson in either a late round tko or decision thnk he is too fast and slick for valdez but I do think valdez will test him and that chin!!

if anybody saw this fight last night you just witnessed the next superstar of the sport emerging!! stevenson reminds me of floyd so much but he has more killer instinct!! perfect display of outside control counterpunching body shots and staying off the ropes!! davis and teo need to stay away from
him!!!

He landed either 7 or 9 punches in the first round but you could tell from the start that Stevenson is on a different level. Stood in the pocket, picked his shots, and made Valdez miss. He’s special

The greats have composure in the ring always even in the midst of getting fire thrown at them stevenson is never rattled and he has a confidence in himself and his boxing skills that is rare for someone his age!! Ive only seen a couple of fights where a boxer dismantles his opponent to a point he has the opponent scared to punch and did not know where the punches he was getti hit with were coming g from!! valdez was scared to death by the 8 th round !!

Only Success VAldez had was that stright right - no telegraph - to me besides Stevenson being a much better boxer overall, was that Valdez looked so awkward trying to deal with a southpaw. His entire left half was neutralized because he didin't throw any jabs and was so off balance and out of position trying to throw the hook. VERY early he landed a couple of good jabs but after that all he had were those straight rights landing right at the end the punch and the occasional body punch.

Not to take credit away at all, a lot of that had to do with Stevenson's distance management and movement for sure - valdez just looked lost out there.

some good points but when a fighter doesn't throw a certain punch consistently its usually because there giving a opening and getting either beaten to the punch or counterpunched!! the genius of Stevenson is that he neutralized vdez jab and allowed valdez to throw a long straight right lead which he started counterpunching!! the last 3 rounds baldez was not opeming up anything his corner begged him to throw he looked at them like you go out there and take them shots because I cant see where they coming from!! stevenson is gaining more and more confidence and his man strength is starting to come!!

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I'm hoping for a Bivol win tonight just to shake up the boxing world. However.... I don't think Bivol hits hard enough to get a stoppage against Alvarez and I think it's nearly impossible to get 2 out of 3 judges to score a fight AGAINST Canelo as long he remains boxing's biggest cash cow.

I was just telling my brother that I think Canelo is ripe to get beat tonight. Bivol is so much bigger and can match his hand speed!! his jab will-give canelo problems as welll!! I also didnt like the fact that canelo went to that baldez fight last week!! it gives aclook of not being focused and opens him up to catching covid!! at the weigh n canelo just didnt look or act like his fiery self !! dont know but this is interesting

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

Canelo looks slow.
Not nearly the handspeed he usually displays.
Plodding, one punch at a time...
I have Bivol up 5-2

Re: Boxing Off-Topic

I wonder if the weight is too much for Alvarez.
By the looks of the two fighters, I'd bet Canelo weighed more than Bivol when entering the ring.
