    Wilder deserves all the props in the world, he was getting brutalized. He probably should've been KO'd significantly sooner than he finally was.

    Shakur Stevenson is an absolute Technician in that ring. I think my comparison would be a lighter Roy jones jr. I don't know what is next for Stevenson but I think I have seen 3 of his fights and they have all been impressive.

    Next week Teofimo, then Canelo the following week.

    Shakur is the real deal and there are some big fights for him if he moves up

    Not sure who would want that fight tho

    But boxing ppvs can 1000 dicks
    How the **** is Anthony Dirrell the co-main event in the year of our lord 2021?

    Textbook Canelo win

    Spent the early rounds figuring Plant out and then poured it on late

    Would like to have seen Plant get a count at the end to see if he could keep going but it's not like the outcome was in doubt.

    Canelo is a beast

    Canelo is great. I can only imagine that the power is what took its toll on plant. Much like Billy Joe Saunders, Plant, had a decent game plan, but Canelo's power is too much. I don't know who I'd like to see in his next fight, another GGG match or someone like Charlo.

    It was aight. Porter is always game but just too small for Crawford. The stoppage was weak but there was never any doubt that bud was gonna get him. Best thing to come out of that is that Crawford is free of Top Rank so the Spence fight is all but a certainty.

    Porter retiring was a surprise. He still looked good and is a big enough name to raise the profile of a guy like Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz.

    ..

    Teo is fighting this weekend for the first time since loma on dazn. Might give that a watch

    Fight of the year. Kambosos Jr is a true Spartan. Lopez needs to get a new corner. I’ve never seen a corner that incompetent. Lopez had that big gash and blood was coming out like a geyser, and that old cutman was moving like molasses. Lol
    Biggest win for Australian boxing. Who is next for George Kambosos Jr?

    Lopez’ trainer which happened to be his dad is something else. He keeps giving him conflicting advice. The corner is pure incompetent. It was a helluva fight. Candidate for fight of the year. I’m glad the judges got it right, I was sweating on the third judge that he might give it to Lopez.

    George Kambosos Jr is a real Spartan. Congrats to Australia, they could sure use some good news now.
