Correct Kid Blast....Gvozdyk is a student too. I'm hoping "PapaChenko" goes full Mercenary like Shields, Roach, and Garcia! But be forwarned, the learning curve is quite steep....

Step aside ya big Dosser....I'm BACK!! Fury is one wild dude ....that UnderTaker impersonation was worth the admission.

Right ...there is now an element of suprise and the possibility of the unexpected that did exist before.... Korobov has always been ready to jump into deep waters at a moments notice. He was even trying fill in for a fight with GGG when nobody else wanted that work.....Its too bad his career has...

I can't begrudge Canelo for fighting a bum after 2 grueling wars with 3G .....BOTH OF WHICH I do not believe he won but he fought well and the fights were close...but to beat a guy of Fieldings status for a title is worse than beating Ricky Hatton's baby brother (from a lower weight class) for a...

Well...I can no longer call Canelo the red headed step-child of boxing. We know he can fight. I'm still waiting to see if he will fight Charlo, Andrade (if DA gets a light sentence for the gun charge) or Jacobs. For some reason I have zero interest in watching Canelo fighting F ielding...I...

Brooks skull will never be the same again....if I was Spence, Porter, Crawford or even Garcia...or Charlo, Mungia or any decent junior middleweight. ..I would steer clear of Brook. Brook may have a few good fights left but personally I wouldn't risk it if I were Brook or his opponent.

You know Wilder's biggest dream is starring in a movie dont you? ....these fighters....gotta love em'.

Wilder has all the tools to stop a guy like Fury in the first 6 rounds. But even though he's 33 years old he's way less mature than Fury. Fury's maturity kept him in the fight. ....if he had pressed the issue there were certain moments in the fight where Fury could have possibly forced a tko...

Sure if its a money grab....otherwise Verdejo has not exactly had a blossoming career. If he can focus on being more disciplined then he has a long shot to at least make it interesting (if he can fight his way back into a title contention)

it may have been a sadistic and diabolical trick. Floyd is now saying he's just an old man trying to enjoy life during his golden years. Could he have faked a comeback just to get Pac to sign with PBC? Not that they need PAC, it was clear by thier 2019 press preview that PBC has a virtual...

Honestly my internal fight predictor is broken....I'm patiently waiting for the upgrade...my previous prophet-like prefight vision has grown cataracts.... Im told these things come and go seasonally....at least the back pain is gone.

Regis vs Josh Taylor is what I really want to see. And I want to see Regis win....Josh's life or death victory over Postol was impressive for a relative rooky even though Postol lost a half a step.....I think one of these guys may win. It was a bold move for both of them to enter. I thought...

I think Prograis is quite solid....his attitude is amazing and his level of maturity is beyond his years.....I wish I could see him vs Lipinets whom I feel is his eastern bloc spiritual twin....tough, ambitious and fearless, (now heading to 147) but basic. Hopefully he goes far....but...

I love the Pac vs Broner fight...but no way will I pay for it....I consider Mayweather vs MMA as sports entertainment .....who cares how much money he makes if he can actually hustle up the interest, ....more power to him and if the "Oldman" can actually get into fighting shape again ....it...

I would rather watch a football or a base ball game rather than these guys. Both remind me of Dominic Breazeale without the sledgehammers. Please keep them in the U.K.

What a masterpiece of skill, perserverance and passion on display last night. I knew "Derry" was going to sift his way through Jacobs potently effective offensive and defensive library. Jacobs' skillset is vastly underated, I could go on for chapter and verse for days just describing his...

Unfortunately the truth is not always easy to perceive ....even though Crawford, BoMac and Arum has bombarded the web for the last 4 weeks with how badly they wanted a piece of Spence....and a buzzed Spence got more attention after the Porter vs Garcia event than the main event fighters did...

Massilon was an unstoppable dynasty. ...resistance is futile. its funny how Ohio State now beats Michigan ritualistically with regularity, and one-sided Brutality. They would probably be a lock to do it again even if Meyers was still under suspension.

Also JB had only had 8 or 9 rounds in 2 years before the fight and had been shot in the leg... (previous to that his Mercedes was burned to a crisp) and his brother David recently turned in a positive test for some blow. Ma​​kes me wonder what's going on in the southwest. My daughter lives...

And add Paul Williams to the list...although he survived..maybe Kelly Pavlik deserves a partial mention as well. Douglas doesnt get top spot but OB made me reminisce about a day that Douglas gave us Buckeyes something to crow about since Michigan seemed to be derailing the Bucks in those days.

BJS had better bring those receipts. ...

That vid is wild...lol...they say a bi-product of Oxiloprine is bizarre behavior and BJS is grimey to say the least....and is right up there with a certain Cincinnati boxer/promoter. ​​​​​​​ But I try not to focus on it as much any more. Unless it has direct bearing on the fight or...

Andre Ward said we can't discredit Crawford for taking a full twelve rounds to dispose of JB. After a good start Benavides just didn't engage and seemed to be running on fumes. Ward said sometimes these things are just inexplicable and can't be explained. It's only takes a few milliseconds...

Yep that substitute situation really sucked the air out of the ball for that Andrade fight. However the Tyson/ Wilder fight has so many variable/possible outcomes...thank God its only a sport, or beyond a little disappointment, I might take a Wilder loss more personally. The only thing I'm...

Truth be told....BJS vs Andrade is a good fight, and we need more like it....I'm not expert enough to say how much Saunders benefits by the "cheat" but I think Andrade can still win. Although since another guy has been inserted in BJS's place. It seems to me he needs a minor miracle. Tyson Vs...

Hmmmm...was it that noticeable?

The ratings went thru the roof for this fight....we need more domestic successes like Crawford. ...even though JB only had one gear and lacked championship stamina. The exposure TC received will undoubtedly will feed the hype should TC finally get a truly rated challenger. ​​Now if Spence...

Agreed, ....BJS had already accepted VADA's standards and then said he thought he had an exception under WADA's rules. Doesn't work like that.

Crawford did what he always does....he came....he saw...and he conquered. Benavides showed good resistance and confidence early but was way too inactive after the sixth round. I usually eat more of a vegan style diet but allowed myself a pizza to celebrate the fight and took a ten count by...

Perfect fight? I'm from Columbus, and on fight night before. Tyson/Douglas, nearly everyone in the city could feel there was some strange metamorphosis happening to Douglas. The local news team had been showing video of Douglas punching the photo of tyson in what looked like a sweaty dank...

Thanks KB. Just having fun. Corny fun but fun nontheless.

Unti I heard the history of the hype...this was a fight I wasn't that enthusiastic to see (nothing against either fighter) the fight has now become a necessary part of my evening. Fried chicken vs bean burrito insults (I love 'em both)....insults against Crawford's Boo and baby's Mamma(his...

That's a detail I had not considered Storm.....Good point. I was finally able to watch Fury vs Klitschko , I had previously fell asleep or changed the channel in over half a dozen attempts to watch the full fight. But since I had to get a real good look at Tyson prior to his title match with...

I've actually heard several podcasters mention that they dont expect JB to roll over for Crawford ...could be a fun fight.

That pretty much covers all bases....cricket included. I'm going to practice saying and spelling the substitutes name a few times incase the subject arises. Its odd you mentioned Fury, I wondered the same thing....the big guy certainly dropped weight fast and he is almost all the way back...

That's downright dastardly...even so Andrade had not said he was going to pull out ....the kid is hungrey too.

Good comments however Usyk and AB couldn't be futher apart weightwise. I think Usyk gives Anthony Joshua an old fashioned boxing lesson if they meet up within the next 2 years.

Wow the weight loss potential is massive...I could use some myself...my insurance might cover it. Seriously broccoli sprouts and wheat grass sprouts supply 550 times more bioactive nutrient than the full grown plant an fighters still feel like they have poison themselves with stuff. Good...

Man ....I was really looking forward to Saunders vs Andrade. Finally a crossover fight between two young prime skilled middleweights ....only to be delivered stilborne. Dead on arrival. As much negative stuff I can say about Saunders he is still a crafty and a competitve contestant....Why did he...

Ok my friend, it's on.... ..we can come to terms if they ever fight. Until that time comes I wish Beterbiev nothing but the best.

Crawford is solid.... and I give him credit fo fighting a slew of B to B+ fighters but guys like Indongo, Dierre Jean, Hank Lundy, and Thomas Dulorme hardly make up a murderers row. Perhaps I'm jaded because of the many proficient fighters I've watched between 1975 to 1999 who possessed...

Sensei.....I want to learn

Like Rigo, Pirog, Gamboa, and many others, once a fighter gets side tracked or cant fight regularly it takes a toll. AB looked like the slugger Thomas Williams Jr in there. Great fight, but it was a youth sapping war. I hope AB can return to form. Time is running out. He still has the power but...

Aaron Prior and Matthew Saad Muhammad are my favorite action guys. Saad could actually box and had good fundamental technique....until he was seduced by the dark side and developed a lust for the violence and became dependant on his stamina and resilience. Spinks must have hit him with several...

Povetkin really knows how to fight the big boys. If Max K. was commentating he would have said Povetkin was "Winning the Story" of the fight. Povetkin was KO'd because he came to fight, he came to engage. He took his chances and took advantage of the opportunity. ...unlike Parker whose goal was...

Yep... excellent hard fought contest....but why give a short stubby flat footed fighter the advantage. All that eastern bloc knowledge and GGG fought Canelos fight...

I told myselfI I'd slit my own throat before I paid $85.00 for this over-marinated, and excessively dragged out farce. I mean. ...not until after GBP had held the entire middleweight division hostage by dangling the fight under the nose of Golovkin for nearly 2 years while threatening to pull...

Its true that Charlo was too anxious to please and didn't live up to expectations. ..I like that in him. The man went out of his way to impress the boxing world in front of hostile fans ( who were nastier than the negative boo birds who frequent the Barclays) The audience let it be known they...

Both Spence and Crawford say they always maintain the most stringent state of readiness because any boxer, no matter what the quality of his skillset, is only one punch away from defeat. Spence is nearly at the pinnacle of physical conditioning. You know how Spence seems to gain momentum as the...

Great research Arne...the details in this piece created an interesting pantina stained lense, though which we can observe a more accurate portrait of those bye-gone days. So Hooking was the fifth most occupied vocation? ​you have effectively rekindled my interest in early american...

If Jack wins ....which I hope he does....I will subscribe to his new vitamins product line. If you watch Adonis' last fight...he had to club Fanfara dozens of times to get him out of there while Fanfara offered zero defense. I'm hoping for an epic upset. Which is highly possible. The one armed...

Pride, race and nationality has created some bizarre and extreme perspectives regarding 3G, especially his future....this one seems balanced enough thank God.

A fan friendly fight. .... Created for regional fans..... Nothing wrong with putting on a show when its in demand. And there's money to be made....Haye kept moving his hands around in a circlular fashion as if he still had his previous cobra-like speed....he bounced around a bit as if he still...

I know, ...it really doesn't take a fortune teller or a bowl of floating tea leaves to pick this one. Lol... At one point Linares was thought to be on the verge of being finished...like an early version of Wlad Klitchko, or even similar to Danny Jacobs when he was ko'd by Pirog. But...

Im betting that Hurd is looking more forward to the rematch than Lara is....and more than fighting Charlo anytime soon.

Come on Storm ....you probably had this one figured out 6 months ago. Or maybe not, I've missed a couple of those fast curve balls myself... But I'm going all in for Loma on this one. Linares has done a remarkable job of rebuilding and balancing his career after being on the brink of...

I think the consensus choice has to be Loma, he's already nearly run Gary Russell out of the ring and easily dispatched Rigo and the Axeman, all linares has is lateral movement and a nice 1-2.... You already know... The actual fight has already been won. They just have to go through the...

Big Baby was getting blasted by Duhaupas and looked like he was out on his feet a couple times. ...I bet nearly any serious top 20 heavy destroys Miller....but he provides fan friendly entertainment in and out of the ring.

Be careful too many heterosexuals commenting at a time could be considered politically incorrect.

Miller hits like the boxing version of Conner McGregor. Its amazing that someone carrying that much bone, muscle, and fat can barely bust a ripe grape...but Duhaupas withstood a copious amount of punishment from Wilder and never left his feet. Povetkin got him out in 5 but Duhaupas only had...

Absolutely

Watching Miller pound Duhaupas into sage-sausage for 10 rounds somehow made me feel a little queasy ...watching two guys with zero defense hit each other in the face with zero variation of strategy is not what I call entertainment but I don't begrudge what anyone else likes. For a fat guy and...

I dont know much about the boxer except that one of her opponents kissed her during the promotion....but she's one fine looking woman ....I'd watcher fight.

That fight has been on the fantasy list for quite some time. Porter has the conditioning to out work Garcia, but Garcia takes a better punch and delivers the harder punch as well. If Porter doesn't get caught, I also think he has to be the favorite. ....and would be more willing of the...

Wilder pummeled Duhaupas at will for approximately 11 rounds....then he was crushed by a possibly roided Povetkin in 5 rounds. I don't think the Frenchman will offer a significant amout of resistance to Miller . Jacobs, on the otherhand has a worthy competitor in Sulecki ... 15 - 1 odds in favor...

Joshua should be very careful if he fights Povetkin (his mandatory)before Wilder..... with his inexperienced Joshua is not a guaranteed winner of that fight.

A ploy you say? Possibly...Hearns and Haman have worked together many times. Miller and Jacobs were recommended to Hearn so they could fight on hbo...Haman is still their advisor so you could be right....there has never been any public negotiations in the past.

Wilder posted a vid offering 50 mill to Joshua: the 💰 is in the bag he says. Then DW plays a recording of when Joshua previously said that he'd fight Wilder for 50 mil. Is this hype, PR, or the spark of a legitimate negotiating process heating up? You be the judge.

Great drawing! Good article

i heard several accounts that the pungent stench of cannibis was so strong in the Barclays that the fighters who participated in saturdays event are in jeopardy of failing their post fight drug tests. Supposedly all manner of squabbles, beefs, and pockets of altercations broke out all over the...

yep...something for eeveryone.

I normally dont post on these topics because you just cant compete the grave and word of mouth accounts that rival with mythological stories similar to Paul Bunyon and the Blue Babe. That's not to say that what has already been said isn't interesting or thought provoking. I think that even...

AB was obviously agitated by being disparaged by fighters participating on the same card. And this time he had the gas to dig down and follow instructions or at least fight back ...the crowd cheered even when AB missed a punch. AB managed to extend his career by the skin of his teeth when he...

Wow what an awesome night of fights.... Tank Davis lived up to his name unleashing a devastating bombardment on Cuellar's body last night dropping him twice in the first two consecutive rounds and stopping him with a concussive barrage in the 3rd. Davis was the favorite but Cuellar was supposed...

Khan has been out of the ring so long since he was ko'd by Canelo.. And has spent so much time on the telly and social media...he literally fell off my radar. La Greco used to be a tough gatekeeper but he's almost unrecognizable now. So Khan gets the nod in another skiddish affair where fans...

I've been breathlessly anticipating the Broner / Vargas card for months...This event is a very very strong offering from Showtime and even supercedes the Hurd/Lara card which aired a few weeks ago. Things turned very ugly during the final press conference this past Thursday. Espinoza...

Anyway speculation about Hurd vs Any middleweights is on some far flung pre-cog level. It's just fun to talk about it unless they actuall fought a year from now. Usually I never say anything when people say...."this guy is HUGE" and both fighters share the same mass after rehydration. But it's...

Ha ha..of course it is but I get back on familiar territory with Jacob. Jacobs is nearly as complete as Mayweather ... Never saw him get tired except against GGG. And I said Jacobs has a tremendous "live dog" possibility to beat Golovkin. I think Jacobs surprised himself. we're talking about a...

I'm totally lost in this era and weight clasd....the writer must have a "Boxing History" degree from Harvart. Its an interesting read however. I can't wait until he gets to "Joltin Jeff Chandler" ....one of my all-time favorites and one of the most exciting fighters in history. But he never made...

By the way ....personally i think Jacobs is too heavy and well conditioned for Hurd... And too "techical" ....lol....dare I say it again.

I whole heatedly agree... I see hurd in a different light now. When I say a guy can fight : it means he can take it. - dish it out - and especially be somewhat devious in the process. I saw the fight 4 times... And every time I watch it the score gets wider. They say the legs are the first to...

Well I never said....what was Arne looking at? but I get it...its a job and you must conduct yourself in way that is conducive to productivity...gotcha ! Yep you can tell Hurd's mom and father instilled something special in the kid...his greatest attribute is his self believe and determination...

You've got a great job Arne....can journalists drink and cheer while watching or is it all work.... I dont know Morreti but my impression of him is that he usually gets it right.

You don't miss a beat OBC, those rumors come with tons of tweets, video and validation. Davis chaffed against dwelling in the desert with the money team and preferred to run wild all up and down the eastern seaboard. From Florida to the tri-state area. Can't blame a young man for wanting to...

Hurd looks bigger but he's got no abdominal section, his trunk is almost non existent, but his head is huge.... In a perfect world Hurd vs Charlo would be a super fight. Off topic. There's been a lot of back and forth between Gervonta Davis and his legion of followers....Gervonta has been...

Well Kid Blast since you were the loudest and most obnoxious about it I thought I'd just give it a pass, especially since it's my crow day....but ok KB, Excellent Call...you nailed it withouth hesitation....lol

Those guys even had a good time with the Degale vs Truax scuffle.

Good call OB.

I was shocked...Hurd is not very technical, but he can fight. He fights for a conclusive result. So fierce was his agression Lara had to wait for gaps before he could punch and then resorted to trading and not aiways evenly. A beautiful fight and the crazed Hard Roco audience, unlike the...

Good piece....I usually shy away from any works that contain more words than a comic book or are not presented in audio and video form but this was pretty good and very interesting. I was able to lower my blood pressure by a significant margin by drinking a concoction of juiced beets...

Appreciate the heads up OB.

This is the short answer (on break) Hurd was getting beaten up by Trout and Harrison. How many more times can he do it? If Hurd moves up to middleweight he will be shredded to pieces fighting face first. But for now Hurd is young - strong - and most importantly - unbroken. The only factor...

He does have a chance if he doesnt bust up again like dry balsa wood.

The NSAC didnt do anything wrong Storm. It's so easy to have the lowest expectations where boxing is concerned. .. But they done good. Canelo voluntarily bowed out rather than remaining at the forefront of the scandal or by sticking by his guns until his last breath of denial like Armstrong and...

I said earlier that if the NV Commish did nothing...then the whole display and pretense of suspending Canelo temporarily was just for the sake of appearances ..... was nothing more than a joke. Doesn't look like there's anything funny now. I'd love to see Charlo or Andrade fill the void.

Would have been a perfect opportunity to put Jacobs, Charlo, or Ramirez in there... and they grab a showcase pick...geeezzzz.

I was looking forward to watching Jacobs vs OSullivan. The hypocracy in boxing knows no bounds. They pass over Andrade because the say he's a nobody, then mention 3 more fighters including OSullivan that nobody in the U.S. ever heard of or seen before. I'm not buying it. What's the point?.

Even though Price hasn't won a significant fight since Obama was in his first term. It was still impressive to watch Povetkin chop him down . Povetkin has mastered the wrap-around-punch, it's a punch designed to reach around a big mans guard ....even his straight right hand has been modified...

No doubt the fans would be thrilled to see the Bronze Bomber telling AJ how he would potentially knock him out. Even if he could only do so via the ringside commentators table. Wilder vs Joshua will still be bigger that Klitschko vs Joshua whenever it happens . Even though Wilder didn't...

As far as Wilder going to England...it would have been fantastic opportunity for publicity. I give him credit for trying to do it the right way. By asking permission. .. But to be fair Joshua claimed he would freeze Wilder out for just bringing up their potential fight and talking trash on the...

Should be an entertaining fight. Parker is more technically skilled than Wilder but as a boxer he has nothing on Ortiz.... In any category. Parker is good ....but he's generic. Not really hard to prepare for except in the stamina department. He's no Smokin Joe but Joshua has to be well...

I wouldn't doubt if he did Ted, I wasnt comparing thier moral fiber, although Browne was in the news several different times regarding PED's. I'm saying this guy talked a lot of trash most of his career in an effort to land the big fight. And to show up with his gut hanging down by his knees...

Horn vs Crawford is the more relevant fight...if it gets too ugly and is being shown at the same time as Cruz vs Mares (a fight that has little relevance to me) then I will switch..... Gary Russell should have fought 🚶 one of these guys years ago and Santa Cruz should have fought Loma while he...

What a smooth, elegant and efficient dismantling of a previously braggadocious and self assured ped cheat who should have never been ranked as highly as he was. Whyte displayed the technical craft I never knew he had. It's not so much to me about watching an old man taking a measured and...

Except for the Mayweather and Golovkin fights Canelo has never been under any scrutinizing testing. Sure ....Del La Hoya makes claims about Canelo passing 90 VADA-like testing over 9 years but the truth is, most of the testing occurred after the fight or was the standard USADA minimal type...

The author sure loves Terrence Crawford...as good as Crawford is....I dont think he's automatic over at least 3 of those guys. But I have to agree, my interest in boxing is freshly renewed.. Especially since the welters have become so insufferably picky. But hows about Marcus Brown vs Kovalev...

I used to think Prograis was just a premature hype job but now he reminds me a little bit of Gervonta Davis, before the fame and money but he's also more mature and leaves no man off his hit list. The young gun has named M Garcia, T Crawford, and even Erroll Spence (Woodsy interviewed him...

Well.... This has nothing to do with the debate, but you have to wonder how good Garcia would have been if he didn't have to sit out a couple of years due to his TR dispute? I like this kid the more I see him....Im already imagining a fantasy fight between Garcia and Julio C Chavez.

Agreed. ..no chance in hell

Wilder is a freak of nature. He weighs the same as a prime Ali and a peaking Mike Tyson. But his body is configured in such a way that he's as lethal to any heavyweight (including the hulking Valuev) as Tommy Hearns was to the welterweight divison. The possibility of a human being having the...

Beiterbiev looked pphenomenal when he first appeared on the scene... I didn't know if he could transition from cruiser to light heavy ....and lately he's been on the missing persons list. We never got to see him against elite competition and that's a shame....I hope there's enough of his early...

OMG BERNARD!!! Now your trolling ??? What a joke. I can't respond to the kid stuff.

If compubox tallied up all the low blows Barthelemy landed in his last ten fights I wouldn't be surprised if the total amount of fouls surpassed 35 -40 low blows. They cant all be accidents . Relihk earned a hard fought victory and the judges got it right this time. There was a great deal...

I see you have nothing productive to contribute on this topic Bernard, and now you want to dump your heavyweight grief about American Boxing which I have absolutely no interest in.

Bernard you are actually trying to brag about doing half the numbers and getting a mere third of the fans watching Bivol and Kovalez is something impressive or noteworthy??? Both of those guys are highly entertaining fighters but hbo only got a 3rd of viewers ? Those are pittiful bragging...

I'm starting to wonder where Prograis fits into the junior middleweights? I know I've criticized him before for being a mere strongman but it appears this kid can be potentially dangerous to anybody...too bad Crawford left the division. Mikey vs Crawford would be interesting. Garcia is very...

Bernard ...how is 667, 000 viewers more than 1.2 million????

Great points from the Good Doc and Storm... The thing about Clenbuterol is that it increases oxygen intake and burns fat. It does help sythesis protein but its not going give anybody an advantage in a body building contest. Even if the therapy is discontinued the user is not going to pop like a...

Check your facts Bernard. Kovalev vs his real life sparring partner did a peak viership of approximately 670, 000. Wilder vs Ortiz peaked at 1.2 million which is nearly twice as many viewers vs its HBO counterpart. I still haven't watched the HBO show...not because I have anything against them...

Thanks Doc...you answered the question in quite thorough fashion.

Thanks this was well researched

Wow...you went deep with that one....great comments maybe Clenelo made a mis-steak .....Roy Jones failed 3 tests, Shane Mosely failed, so did Evander ...and some tests for Oscar and Floyd cannot be accessed. I almost feel like Rutger Hauser in Blade runner when he released the pigeon. Lets jjust...

The fight also broke premium channel viewership records....look it up

Wilder was baiting Otiz in round 8. He was trying to drain the Cuban powerhouse to get his stamina down to a manageable level so he could crack the crafty counter punchers defence. The Hamed comparison is valid. He also reminds me of the lanky Paul Williams. Williams wasn't a traumatizing...

Lol

Facinating stuff...you guys are really connected ...in a pugilistic way.

I have to wonder if GGG would have received the same pass.

Canelo has moved across the border and has written a letter of apology to limit the pr damage . Approximately 60 slaughterhouses use clenbuterol in Mexico because it facilitates protein synthesis, burns fat, increases oxygen in take and if used in larger quantities it can act as a diuretic...

Im literally welling up inside with sarcasm and innuendo ....but GoldenBoy's biggest crime is keeping 3G inactive between year long fight dates. ODLH had no problem offering his lightweights fights 3 months before a possible date with Loma. I hope it was worth it to Golovkin and that he...

I think Ortiz looked better than he has in years .... I'd pick him over Anybody on a good day. Wilder is a Freak, he weighs the same as Ali and has already felled his first Giant...."that aint natchell" as my gramps would say. Ortiz really highlighted Wilder's faults as only the Cubans can. The...

Amazing and unbelievable ...Ortiz was considered to be so dangerous that Eddie Hearn signed Ortiz just to keep him away from Joshua. Watching Ortiz stalking Wilder and out boxing him with a quick jab, working Wilders head and body with a long lead left hand (like Rungvasai vs Estrada only...

Da Baddest Man on da Planet...Nothing but raw killer instinct. Wilder hasn't fought to out score anyone in his last 3 or 4 fights .....its all or nothing. ....but if his opponent takes his eyes off him for a fraction of a second...Wilder will find you. awesome display...the most exciting fight...

Wow....Any other ref would have stopped Wilder in the 7th....but they let it play out...a great fight if ever I saw one. Nobody truly lost.

Yep .... He "only" has to get through King Kong.

Even Cotto never played 2nd fiddle except to Floyd and possibly Canelo and those were main events....I was wondering when Pac would speak out.

Totally disagree ...Wilder wins all kinds of ways. Scott doesn't have to get paid to take a dive...he gave the ref the "I dont want to fight" look against Chisora and he back pedaled against Ortiz in a way that almost jeopardized his purse. The guy has no shame and packs it in against superior...

Yes sir... coming in at 214 as opposed to 225 shows that Wilder has been doing intense training ...I got it at 50-50 ...picking Wilder....this is a great fight...Luis is still very dangerous in my opinion

This article has all the ingredients of another conspiracy theory. The pundits, pocasters, youtubers, and even salaried freelancers have presented a multitude of occult filled reasons why suddenly Ortiz is either unfit or unwilling to defeat Wilder in a fair contest. I have heard it all...

That was an excellent fight. For long stretches of the middle rounds Sor was always first. Never got tired, Estrada could only react instead of initiating the attack. ...he peppered the Thai fighter but got outworked. I don't know if I can choose against him in the next fight.

Agreed Good Doc, Tyson was a whale 6 months ago. Now look at him...the diet is very effective.

Yep I agree. The Thai Guy is strong rugged and built for battling but I though his elevation to elite status was a bit premature. ...Estrada is a young technician and I tend to go with the boxers most of the time.

I noticed there was a lot of noise on the web for fight I considered a fan friendly past-their-prime-celebrity-bash This fight was never going to change the rankings. But there was much debate from the pundits on podcasts and startup overnight youtube boxing shows. Many of my Puerto Rican and...

Scoring is a subjective activity.....personally speaking.... I turned the channel after the 8th. I figured there was not going to be a KO, especially of Alexander. I just thought Alexander had it in the bag and was shocked to see the outcome. Not saying I'm correct, but that was my impression.

Fury is using the Keto diet to great effect. By eating fat(healthy fat like coconut oil, avocado, olive oil, poutry skin...etc) and staying away from sugar, carbohydrates and by consuming a moderate amounts of meat, the body goes into ketosis and starts to burn fat instead of sugar for energy...

Must be a pretty horrific flu, I caught my worst flu in 12 years a couple of months ago. The same flu was also fatal in some cases....especially to seniors ...so its possibly a bad strain. Too bad, .....so no Groves and no Braehmer, that sort of removes a considerable amount of luster from the...

Thanks for the responnse....personally I dont see anyone coming close to "Pretty Boy"... But honestly, Floyd is gone and Crawford brings something totally different but nearly just as interesting and destructive. and there is no way to argue against what someone likes. i find it facinating that...

Exactly!!!!

I like all the different opinions on the site....and not to be contrary or to cut across the the grain just for the sake of being argumentative. ...I think there are other dynamics at play. Garcia is just coming into his own at 147. He looks stronger. ...more filled out, and not like a guy who...

I heard a guy make a great point today about interviewing fighters after they get knocked out.......it is a disservice to shove a mic into a fighters face when he doesn't have his wits about himself...while making emotional declarations and spouting nonsense. Rios didnt sound too good.

Oh never mind. ...Groves had a rotator cuff injury....those hurt like hell. Im recovering from the same thing.....that'll make you keep your hands at home.

Yep Storm..... Eubanks is a compelling figure....because of his dad and his mouth...I was hoping he'd do better....hopefully he'll bounce back. I have some doubts. I thought if Groves would have turned up the heat he might have stopped Eubanks. ...I guess a safe win is better than an L. Or maybe...

Me too OB. More compelling matchups are needed to keep boxing relevant . on another note, There's a clip from ES NEWS that says Garcia invited Porter into the ring. Its funny......While Porter's dad claims Garcia had nothing to do with it. Porter senior also claims that fights between the...

Im glad you mentioned that... there was a 30 minute overlap between both fights.... My assumption is that the fights aired during the best time PBC was able to obtain from both programs....I'm open to anybody else's theory. On youtube Angel Garcia admits to having been forced to assume a...

I didnt know I used your adjective but Gavrille is teak tough...and Benavides is an offensive machine... Plant vs Porky literally put me to sleep. But that was a great stoppage. ...Rios had to be helped to the corner and sounded like he drank a fifth of sour mash during the interview Nice recap

Ray Robinson looked nothing like his namesake. The eager Cuban ( Ugas )becomes the mandatory for Spence. Benavides said he was going to separate himself from Gavrille and he made the teak tough Romanian do something he never did in their first fight...which is to learn the meaning of respect...

I thought Groves looked like a sharpshooter in there, wasted very little, took fewer risks, landed at a higher percentage and Eubanks regressed. Honestly I dont have much invested in either guy but Groves can box. Yeah Rios went down like he took a sniper bullet to the head.....talks like he...

Groves vs Eubanks was a pretty good start to an actioned packed day full of fights. I didn't pick anyone because frankly I didn't know. The media was hyping Eubanks because of his recent success against unheralded opposition. And Groves was reportedly rededicating his boxing career for one final...

Never thought Broner who has at least 8 children was ever too keen on the concept of fidelity. But It's hard to know if the example set by our nations Commander in Chief has become part of the voyeuristic popular culture...or if this is the case of an opportunist taking advantage of a soft...

a very juicy and interesting debate to say the least...and I have all respect for Frank... But the names on your Brittish and European list who were essentially missed by Jones sinks the Pro-Jones debate...if Jones had gotten to just one 3rd of that list ....I'd probably fall down on my knees...

A prime Roy Jones is probably greatest spectacle I've ever witnessed in the ring .... He was as close to the Pied Piper of boxing as anyone in history. Jones was uniquely gifted in ways that dwarfed Sugar Ray Leonard, and Floyd Mayweather. But I like Floyd and Ray better because they were...

Nice piece.... I'm still in awe of Gassiev's strategic and calculated win over Dorticos. When I first saw Gassiev, I thought he was the missing link Darwin was searching for and was half afraid that there would be a resurgence of archeologists spouting the theory of man evolving from lesser...

Finally.... A very interesting and enjoyable piece by T.H. That's not loaded down with personal bias.

Postol vs Crawford still leaves a bitter after taste in my mouth. One of the worst fights between two talented fighters you will ever see in any era. Crawford, simply lacking the creativity and skill to get at Postol just flatout refused to engage or even stand within range to even touch Postol...

Boxing at the olympic level has been riddled with incompetence, corruption and poor officiating/scoring. It seems like there are incidents similar to what happened to Roy Jones and Evander Holyfield at every Olympics. Personally I hate to see athletes deprived of their opportunity to compete but...

I like Tabiti...he doesn't have the life long experience from pre-adolescence but he managed to pick up a little of the Mayweather dna. Honestly I'm not sure who Tabiti could beat from the group of the WBSS participants. Not saying Tabiti is hopeless... He might surprise me ...but there didn't...

That's a better explaination than I currently have it's like watching sorcery. ...they (Lomanchenko and Usyk) start at the same speed as their opponents. ...then by mid-fight they are all over the place ....exploiting their opponents to maximum effect....Im still trying to get my head around it...

It does seem odd that those two would be at odds... Possibly some anti-PBC/ Schaeffer rhetoric. .....I hope they are working together again...Schaeffer put together some of the greatest shows on showtime while selling a ton of Tecate beer. Nobody has a crystal ball ...but since his no contest...

I'd like to hear it Kid Blast....this certainly isn't my grampa's boxing...lol

What a heartbreaking fight. We had food ...drinks, ..a few friends over and were smug in our assumption that Curry would send the big mouth bloody - Limey packing his tea cups and heading back to England in the most inglorious defeat. Unlike today....An American losing to an Englishman was...

Love the Cuban - Russian rivalry. Never expected Gassiev to out-strategize Dorticos. Gassiev used good lateral movement and backed away from Dorticos with good head movement and a high guard, while Dortico plowed forward in an attempt to make the fight a slugfest. Gassiev stopped moving...

Ali's gregarious nature and approach to the 60's political scene created a giant... Not to mention his Gorgeous George model of public relations... The whole nation watched Sugar Ray Leonard cut a swath through the amateurs for years before he even boxed pro. His flag waving, apple pie...

I think Wilder has the versitility and athleticism to beat any heavyweight. But I think Ortiz is still probably the most dangerous heavyweight on the planet. Its good to see Wilder is going for the challenge. ....he practically begged Stiverne to get in a few fights before taking his title...

I set up my netflix account the same day and went on a sci fi binge. I know everything is recorded but I couldn't pull myself away to watch Mattysse. Seems that I didnt miss much. I still like Mattysse and hope he can make a full return. ....however when fighters lose and keep coming back...

Too bad the tourney was ignored by broadcasters in the U.S. I had Breidis and Usyk listed as the most technically proficient boxers with Dorticos listed as the boxer banger - wildcard. Usyk vs Breidis played out as advertised. Although Gassiev can punch, I saw him get outboxed in rountine...

I didn't think Easter would allow Fortuna to perform as well as he did. I thought Easter lost to Shafikov as well. Easter is just not that sharp....Garcia stops him in my opinion. Paulie said it correctly..... "Spence is ruthless" and a little wreckless. I don't think he'll be able to stay...

Thanks .....although I missed them ...it appears they were entertaining while they lasted.

That's the vibe I get from Lipinets, a hard nosed guy who can be clever and resourceful.

Popeye.... Great name for a fighter. I agree with OBC, ....Extreme disappointment is the only way to express how I feel about the Putin look-alike Lipinets suffering a fight canceling injury. Its funny, a lot of the ultra-biased podcasts and media outlets are referring to Garcia vs Lipinets...

Can't argue Frank....Crawford was fortunate to get the activity. Spence was mostly avoided and under promoted. Horn is a real strong fighter. I think Crawford wins but I doubt its a blowout.

Sorry got too heavy handed on the cut and past button....Welcome back Storm!

Very interesting read.... However I thought Valero had to work way too hard to stop gate keeper Demarco.... The guy trudges forward like he's stomping grapes in the South of France while punching a heavybag...not impressed with his style other than his work rate....don't get me wrong...the...

I personally think Shields exceeds the hype...you dont win 2 Olympic gold medals (even in a relatively new program) without deep passion, dedication and perserverance in a cruel sport like boxing by being the personification of mere hype. Just my personal impression of course, but she's the...

That's some serious dedication.

Absolutely. ...sell...selll...selll!

Everybody is investing in weed these days, doctors, lawyers, ministers, politicians and actual drug peddlers who are grabbing up the contractual labor positions...I think I heard that Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger has his hands in the pot.

Mike has some ownership, but like his boxing promotion business, its mostly investers using his name. Mike even gets to hold instructional classes and product tutorials. Weed is great stock exchange material right now...better get in where you fit in!

Danny really doesnt like that "cherry picker" tag. Any more than he likes writers to remind him of Rod Salka in interviews. Lol....but he is a good technician who has mastered the counter-hook from any distance. If only he was fleet of foot. The Rios fight is a decent confidence builder and rust...

I agree, similar to Evander, we will see his potential.Flourish with the big boys

Thanks...these guys are revolutionizing the sport one fight at a time. The other great trainers are in their labs right now with acid and blowtorches rubbing their heads say ..." we cant even scratch, dent, or burn this stuff....its impervious to our technology.

At least one of the TSS FIGHTWriters gave him the TSS Fighter of the year award.. Personally I don't agree due to the unworthiness of the competion. But I wont argue much. Both Loma and his father should win something. I dont know what to call it but Loma needs a specially named award all to...

Dogboe...what a name...missed the fight...will check it out on youtube

I the like Easter Bunny- the " E' Bon' Y" as they like to refer to him in Toledo. A town that has lost mostly all of its steel enterprises ..... This onetime center of bustling industries has been reduced to a mere husk of complacency and deflated dreams. I've tried to muster up my mean-mug and...

Usyk is the greatest cruiserweight in the making .... He still meditates with one of the greatest unsung jedi masters of boxing. Anatoly Lomenchenko... The rarely seen and seldom heard spiritual master of a boxing technique that is as alien to boxing as the Fosberry Flop was to Olympic...

Degale accumulated more injuries in the ring than Andre Ward and former football great Joe Montana put together. He was already torn cat raggety before the end of 2016... But I must admit .....Never thought I'd wake up to the internet headlines of "Truax SHOCKS DEGALE WITH UPSET". Never give...

I wonder how much time Fury has to clean up his act until the fickle sanctioning bodies lay down the law. (Or make up a new one?) Fury fessed up to having a raging coke addiction,(which can happen when someone suddenly becomes a multi-millionare)... He failed a PED test,.... and he's been...

Klitschko did good.....especially since he was mostly perceived as the living personification of the dreaded Ivan Drago, even though the well mannered doctor couldn't quite escape the stereotype of being the product of a combination of optimized breeding, biological advances in sports science...

Bold statement, but I won't touch it. Lol...I will say that even after all the disrepancies and deficits, (which are real) Rigo is still Loma's best opponent. In an earlier comment posted on a popular website, when asked how he will deal with the "matrix", Rigo said "I don't even watch that...

Agreed... It's not even about watching Lomachenko toss up 5 coins in the air and snatching them all out of the air one by one. Or the fact that his dad made him take ballet and gymnastics for 3 years before he was even allowed too lace on a pair of boxing gloves. Or even the fact that he will...

Ditto, an upset would "Shock the World"!!!

Lomanchenko, will explain later and try not to use 5000 words... Anything is possible with Rigo but it's unlikely. Like Pernell Whitacre beating Roy Jones in his prime.

Those were the days...

Without hesitation **** Loma vs Rigo, there are no bad cards here, I may have to catch the ESPN card on another device, but Loma vs Rigo is historic ....the other cards are merely great entertainment.

Some interesting conjecture OBC, (this is good stuff) Here's my take on the situation......a lot has been going on with Hayman the PBC and the other factions of boxing. One thing I do know about Stevens and Alvarez is that neither one of them want any parts of Beiterbiev (formerly managed by...

Interesting article, ... I agree that Salido, ....who is teak-tough, resilent, and more durable than 2 or 3 boxers put together is worthy fanfare on any Saturday nite. The only thing...Salido is a finite quantity. We have seen Salido deliver thrilling and competitive bouts against elite quality...

Cotto didn't embarass himself....and neither did the judges. And Ali's career has been rescued from obscurity. Cotto is fortunate he made it this far... I hope he can enjoy the fruits of his labors. Maybe do some "guest" announcer work every once in a while. No wasted words with this guy.

Yep despite having a bullseye on his back ....as Roy Jones said: Ali doesnt want to go back to 147 and fight his way up the rankings...not many guys there would fight him anyway after his competent performance. ... If he can't get a title shot at 47 he might as well fight Brook.

I thought if Ali wasn't traumatized or emotionally damaged goods he had a chance for an upset....Bernard Campbell flat out called it. Good call. Ali showed excellent skills when he stopped Abregu in a very patient and precise performance. Man...I thought that guy was going to take that fancy...

thanks for your perspective Good Doc... You haven't lost a beat.

Looks like the system issues have been fixed, its good to be back in a safe and smooth running glitch free environment.

It makes sense OBC, differrent opinions and possibilities is what makes sports fun to watch.

Yep ...you could be right. Garcia does everything better than Broner anyway...despite being more careful in his choices for his next bout at 147...Garcia is still a full time professional. Ive personally lost all hope for Broner.

It should be common knowledge by now that there is an arrest warrent dangling ominously over Broner's extremely exposed scalp. When Broner was being villified for assault, and robbery charges by a known associate i turned a blind eye. ..I only noted the sextapes, public drunkeness and traffic...

Ping pong?...who woulda thunk it??

If that's the case OBC then I give Seldom credit for stepping to the challenge, he knows what he's getting and he could have run the other way.....Outstanding!

Cotto would have come out better just spending $300,000 throwing a Gala farewell party or at least donating the proceeds to the crisis in Puerto Rico. Cotto seems a little out of touch when he should surely be aware that many of his countryman are flying back home to check-on and assist their...

I can certainly appreciate your perception of where WK stands with his peers 🍻 Miguel. A toast to WK!

Good question. .... If I say WK was in the top 5 or even the top 10 mythical list of all time best Heavyweights since the history of boxing the stodgy "GOLDEN AGE" Purists will rise up from the dead an furiously exit their dusty sarcophagus' located in some hidden chamber of some eons old...

Ha ha...that's what I said....lol Welcome

Well we both know who is guiding his footsteps...the most astute match maker in history.

The horrid Canton HOF broadcast almost made me puke...40 minute speaches from each inductee...are you kidding me? I ended up going out for a beer, caught the last round and had to watch it on Youtube.

I dont expect that fight until Loma is 35 years old...

Yep...good assessment. Put somebody in there who can hit and would rather go out like a Kamikaze instead of being punked into submission. Also America loves show offs....we loved Ali, Roy Jones, and even Mayweather when he makes a fighter miss by a mile and looks at his last position and looks...

Canelo wasnt even P4P worthy at junior middleweight. Just a good fighter who was isolated from a lot of other good fighters who could have potentially been better. But we are finally here...it's just shocking to hear so many elite boxers picking Canelo to win. Is it because no one want to offend...

Agreed....Boxing ain't fair.... When Dimitri Pirog Ko'd Daniel Jacobs (a fight that should have been his coming out party) Pirog wasnt seen until more than a year later fighting in what looked like a high school gymnasium in Russian (fighting for peanuts on hbo). In boxing often times whomever...

Jeff Chandler.... Not the square jawed Hollywood version, but the square jawed, piston-jab pumping Philadelphia version. between 1980 and 1984, Chandler was an all out action bantamweight with a 71 inch reach whose career blazed across our consciousness like a meteor. It was brief but it was...

Lomachenko is somewhat of an entertainer. ....Marriaga was psycologically bullied worse than the no-hopers who were paralyzed by 😨 fear before Tyson even threw the first meaningful punch. Loma waived Marriaga into the corner, dropped his hands.....stuck out his chin just inches from his...

Jeff Horn actually called out the fighter that every one else has ignored or has denied the existence of..... and by everyone else I mean Danny Swift Garcia, One Time Keith Thurman, and even the tenacious Shawn Porter. Horn is big, resilient, able to fight a hard 12 rounds and believes he...

Great to be able to post again. ..thanks KB.

If Broner doesnt get koed and continues to vent against probing ring announcers like Jim Grey, he'll continue to draw curious fans and ticket buyers.

Broner burned more energy ducking, pivoting and bouncing 3times after each Garcia missed shot, I had to wonder if anybody ever taught him about minimizing his unnecessary movement....its not pretty and judges dont score it. Whenever Broner can shove his hip and elbow covered torso into a...

I appreciate your opinion GlovedFist. We shall see!

Washington let Miller snatch the mike from him while it was his turn to speak at the press conference and was already punked before the first bell rung. Put him in with Dilion Whyte or Chisora.... So they can Send him back to MMA.

Miller hits more like Byrd than Forman, he's a great personality but any practicing heavyweight in his prime who has a decent amateur career should beat him. I think Malik Scott could scrape by with a UD if he trained properly. Miller belongs in the MMA ranks.

Can't believe it... i can finally post. Test
