    Should be stripped off his belts, Fury is singlehandedly making the heavyweight top suck by dodging Usyk and preventing proper title fights.

    The HBO fights don't look too exciting to me, but if you like Dawson or Gamboa, you might enjoy them. Personally, I'd rather watch the main event where the fighters are really going at it.

    Inoue vs Fulton in roughly 2-3hrs, should be one of the best fights of the year.

    Nice fight, Inoue wasn't rushing in the first half and then closed it in vicious fashion once he smelled blood.
    Fulton also with good counter boxing, but clearly couldn't deal well with Inoue's precision and punching power.

    Crazy how he moved up weight classes and completely dismantled the unbeaten champ in his first fight, Inoue is next-level.

    He really is a beast. I love lower weight classes.

    I felt Crawford would win but that was total domination like damn bru
    Spence says he'll activate the rematch clause but what the point? aint no way he's beating bud

    Bud or Naoya take your pick for p4p king

    Spence is a pressure fighter and funny thing is he's too basic even for a pressure fighter. Like other pressure fighters, he is also not a one hitter quitter, doesn't have punching variety, jab jab overhand, cross and his right hook is frankly unimpressive. Doesn't have impressive footwork and footspeed, doesn't move his head. Take away his jab and he's nothing more than a guy who throws wild hayemakers. Obviously taking his jab isn't easy but Bud accomplished that. Timing beats speed and power and i'd argue that since Bud's actually right handed he has more powerful jab, is obviously faster and has faster reaction time. And considering that Spence's footwork-footspeed are underwhelming and he moves in straight lines he was doomed to get caught which is what happend in the 1st kd. If you are slow footed and resetting in straight lines a faster dude with good timing will catch you. Lets say two cars are facing each other. You are backing it up while i'm trying to catch you ofc i'm going to catch you because i'm faster than you. Since Spence can't retreat drawing an arc he can't roll with the punches either which is what Bud does and tbh after he lost his legs in 3rd or 4th round he lost the steam of his punches so Bud didn't really mind getting hit. Spence is a very good boxer because you can't deny the talent of a guy who beat Porter and Ugas he's very good but he's a worse version of Golovkin. He's the Golovkin at home. He's just a very good pressure fighter and very good pressure fighters doesn't beat great boxer punchers. I've never seen a Hagler, Golovkin watching him.

    Spence being out of in ring action for 18 months after the accident is a recipe for disaster getting in a ring with someone like Bud. He just doesn’t seemed to be mentally there and look amateurish at times. Easy victory for the Omaha native.

    My P4P king rankings in no particular order: Bud, Inoue, Tank. Then a huge gap after those three.

    Everyone is a genius and can explain it all AFTER the fight.

    TC looked like Apollo Creed in there. Like Errol is the easiest work he's ever had. **** was crazy.
