The BOXING thread

I can see him being afraid of throwing punches against pro's, but this wasnt a high level boxer/mma guy he was up against. The fight was there, if he wanted it.

I'm just an angry boxing fan is all
To me, nothing comes close to the excitement of top level prize fighting and its so frustrating seeing these circus fights being made yet something like crawford v spence is never going to happen. Very frustrating.

 

Watching his buddy and training partner Askren get blasted and KO'd might be the reason but there isn't really an excuse for not throwing more punches. He only threw 11 jabs in the entire fight -- he was just there for the money and free tattoo.

It is crazy how much coverage and money Paul is generating -- the arena was packed and there were a lot of celebs like it was a Wilder - Fury fight.

 

Speaking of circus fights I think De La Hoya might have got himself into a bad situation fighting a juiced up Vitor.

 

Looked to me like he didn't want to get KO by a youtouber so he never took risk.

And you can't blame these circus fights for spence v crawford not happening. Thats on them. Been a problem long before jake paul put on gloves. Boxing and it's archaic ways could use this exposure. I can watch both, circus fights and legit. Bring em on lol

 

You're right about that. Boxing is its own worst enemy.

 

I think DLH is also on something too lol



He looks good.
From my understanding, its an actual fight not an exhibition.

 

No doubt.

 

That was sad

 

What the actual **** on the ex* president Trumps commentary, how did that go

 

That Holyfield fight was terrible and whoever was in charge of putting it together should be banned from ever setting up events.
Holyfield sounded like he had some major CTE problems like 20 years ago FFS

Who even attends these things?

Great day for boxing, what a card.

Think Joshua will win this due to the power difference, Usyk doesn't seem made for heavyweight.

 

Oh wow I had the wrong time in mind and thought the event would start in 20min, time to quick-watch the fights that already happened.

 

Hurry up, Campbell Hatton is about to make his walk

 

Skipped most of the first fight and now am live.

Scary KO by Callum, hope Castillo doesn't have any aftereffects. On his way to the hospital.

 

Feel like Hatton is terribly mediocre btw, never really struck me as a future champ in any of his pro fights.

No outstanding attributes and hot-headed in the ring.

 

Hatton got schooled in the last two rounds, trash defense and reflexes.
