After seeing Romero and DCan let down forty year olds today, Pacquiao's win becoming the first 40 year old WW champ in history is really starting to look better. That's one of his best accomplishments and will be up there with his 8 division champions and 5 division lineal champion accomplishments when it's all said and done. All the great welterweights there have been and a former flyweight is the oldest WW champ in history. What a legend.
Not even 40 year olds in the UFC, but 25-30 year olds in their prime fighters gas out too fucking quickly as well. Even if they don't fuck around on the ground.
they are getting paid like your average flyweight kek
Christian Jenkins
Jesus christ Jessie Vargas made more against Soto money than both main event fighters combined and he's not even rated a top 10 fighter at Welterweight!
Tyson Fury's getting like ten times more than the entire card combined fighting on the same network, and he's fighting some Swedish plumber lmao
Ryder Walker
Clearly these purses are terrible, but I wonder what is, if there is any, the cut that they pay to the promotion. I doubt they have to pay the UFC the usual 30% that a boxer pays to the promoter
Kevin Flores
That is insane to think about. And it's not as though those guys are manletweight fighters, they're literally the best Heavyweights MMA has to offer. Yet Fury gets paid 10x that to style on a bum ranked outside the top 50.
Gate was $3.3M kek. Made more than double the entire card's purses put together. And that's not even counting the PPVs. How are these fighters happy with getting scammed?
Jordan Perez
UFC is a cartel. They have no real competition so they can get away with it.
Ethan Green
how do I avoid getting countered every time I throw a jab to the body?
no, being as quick as lightning is not an option
Elijah Sanders
Genuinely the GOAT body-jabber here.
You really need to dip your knees when you throw it, tucking your chin behind your shoulder, your head needs to be in line with the point of impact almost.
Secondly, think about when you're throwing it. Optimum time to change levels is when your opponent is covering up, make sure they're preoccupied with what's coming upstairs. Like all body punching, you have to set it up effectively.
Ryan Rivera
That's how much the top 2 Heavyweights in the world. And for comparison here are the purses for the top Boxing Heavyweights latest bouts:
>AJ: 25 million >Fury: 12.5 million >Wilder: 10 million >Ruiz: 7 million >Povetkin: 6 million >Whyte: Est. 5 million vs Chisora
Dillian Wh*te likely made 4x what the top two MMA Heavyweights in the world made combined! How the fuck does Dana White get away with this shit? Is the UFC somehow bleeding money in ways that Boxing doesn't? Or are they just literally robbing their fighters blind?
Hudson Rivera
they spend a ton of money on marketing I believe. I am totally talking out of my ass, but I think they used to have deals to show UFC highlights on sportscentre type shows, I think they also pay for fightland on VICE.
Aiden Walker
Reminder that Joe Rogan went on live TV and told Dibella that boxing would have no new superstars and the UFC was going to eat boxing alive. Now he regularly has boxers on his podcast sucking their dicks
Now we know why the UFC Heavyweights look so shit. Of course all of the best Heavyweight fighters would funnel into boxing when they're making money like this
Aiden Hernandez
Dana has wanted to get into boxing with Zuffa for a while, however he's probably missed his moment
Jack Moore
Time it when he's jabbing and throw a straight right while backing up for good measure
Adam Thomas
reddit disrespects the legend, not even a positive image or flair of him. biased mods all came in from the mcgreggor hype
also, why in the ufc 30-40+ year olds still fighting? is it the skill disparity that they're able to still fight at an older age?
you also see a lot of karate background mma artists who think it's real fighting?
Zachary Fisher
dana started his career with boxing
but the anti corpo mafia structure was hard to get into
Austin Martin
Who's this thot
Cameron Russell
How is Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey able to get so much more money than these champions?
Colton Carter
Pacquiao made $20 million in his last fight plus PPV bonuses.
I believe Canelo makes even more per fight judging by how much money he made last year.
Nolan Taylor
Dem American Boys are a different breed
Want to say Jaye Carrera? Idk random thot in the explore section
>750k This is the reason why no one who's actually good at boxing and isn't washed up will ever go to mma.
Anthony Brown

Owen Lee
>Spending all this money to use so many fighters That budget would be better spent elsewhere. I don't care how the game looks or how many boxers they have at launch, I just care how it plays and how detailed career sim mode is.
They don't need to sign up a bunch of fighters, paying them for rights to use them, just give us a detailed character creator and give us the ability to share online.
Hopefully we'll finally see a game with as good or better than Hajime no Ippo 2's career mode. Highly doubt it though.
Zachary Jenkins
>Yea Forums shit thread about UFC card >make post about how mma fighters are inept at defense >10 hours later they're still mad
reminder that Anthony Yardie is about to step up from fighting old, small. sub-Euro level opponents on two weeks notice to Kovalev in Russia

Kevin Smith
Well Yoel Romero is a genetic freak and DC is one of the goats of the HWs but it can be argued the HW division is trash when a part time firelighter is the best fighter in the world.
I would've said Woodley was still in his prime at 36 but lost embarrassingly last fight and GSP retired arguably in his prime.

Tennis is quite an underrated sport. It doesnt require as much athleticism as other sports but there are some points in common with boxing, mainly because it's 1vs1 and there is a subtle degree of cerebrality to outsmart your opponent and small technical details to take control of the match, as well as the requirement of a lot of mental toughness.

Joseph King
by having floyd knock mcshitter's rat ass out?
Zachary Clark
he held his head like that because conor kept illegally rabbitpunching him
Julian Campbell
Memegregor literally won like 5 rounds off 'tbe' without ever having a boxing match. Floyds a bum
Jason Ward
Cockboy McGoober kept trying to fight like a budget Middleweight Lomachenko and because he didn't know what the fuck he was doing, he kept taking Floyd's back and rabbit punching him instead of landing legal blows.
What are the chances that Dana White is the one who's buying PBC? There's no fucking way he can start being a legit promoter working with major networks by signing literal whos. He talked with Eddie and Bob recently and he has the financial backings of billionaires.
And now for the million dollar question. Did Floyd really give up rounds to Conor cause he was carrying him or was he just shot and out of shape and 40 years old.
Wyatt Fisher
Little of both. Floyd Sr kept telling him to keep doing what he was doing, as soon as he knew it was time, he told Floyd it was time. They knew he'd gas. And Floyd needed the shake off the ring rust. But Floyd definitely wasn't shot.
Joseph Moore
Can't wait for Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Luke Campbell.
Dunno. But Dana was on a podcast recently and said he has some major announcement in October. Says he'll "change the game" since boxers are "paid too much".
I care about it as much as I care about Northern Ireland. But the IRA actually managed to bomb and kill people for what they believed in.

Tyler Thomas
That's the thing. He talks big shit, but who knows if he'll back it up. When his boxing shit first launched, his only fighters were RJJ fighters, and nobody knows who they were. Although RJJ did have that one good fighter (that had a belt?).
Luis Watson
This. Haymon's fighters would never sign with him, DAZN is paying good(for now), and Arum gots a good thing going with ESPN

If PBC is bought by endeavor they probably won't let dana white run it. It'll probably be a case where they're owned by the same parent company but still operated independently. I can't imagine fox would be too happy with White running PBC considering they lost money in their last UFC deal. I don't see why Endeavor would replace the PBC leadership with White anyway, PBC has been run better in the 4 years its existed than the UFC in 10 years time.
Carson Gomez
AJ is just another Frank Bruno
Sebastian Morgan
Pbc is garbage tho. Low ratings, bad match-ups and an unsustainable business model. Haymon is a parasite.
Evan Bennett
>low ratings Their ratings blow Top Rank out and are most likely far better than the DAZN ratings.
Benjamin Sullivan
PBC in the past year have been great. Solid PPVs and good match ups. It only took them 4 years for it to get going. A large part of it had to do with shit match ups and huge purses.
Owen Powell
I wonder how strongly Paulie is regretting fighting Artem tbqh. He lost (officially), ruined his reputation in Boxing as everyone will now look at him in disgust for stupidly putting the sport's integrity up for grab because he had a bruised ego from the Conor shit, and now has a constant reminder of his stupid decision to do BKFC as he will have chronic hand pains for a long time from shattering his hand so thoroughly and the scarring will take awhile to go away.
Christopher Cruz
As a true fan of pugilism, the only fighter / promoter combo I know is Floyd + TMT.
I feel like the dust has only truly settled in the boxing landscape last year since the exodus of mayweather and his generation from the sport. Really Pac is the only one left from that generation still fighting. In the space of all those guys leaving I think PBC's done a pretty decent job building up their stable into taking those spaces.
Luis Johnson
It's the power of one promoter having an effective monopoly.
>How are these fighters happy with getting scammed? Most of these guys would be flipping burgers for a living if they weren't pro fighters, so they'll take it.The other promotions are small fish that can't afford to pay them more.

Tbh i have a mate whos kinda tall and he would constantly do this shit for years growing up until sometime in our early 20s, any time watching a movie or listening to music he would look up the person to make sure he was taller than them. And hes not the only tall person ive met who seemed a bit obsessed with height and having everyone acknowledge that theyre tall.
Lmao AJ freezes up and has a completely blank stare when Anna Wolhouse asks him if he was okay before the Ruiz fight considering he was getting a neck message in his corner. He's definitely still concussed. Are lad Ruiz did him in for good.

Remember I had a convo with a boomer who insisted that Conlan is going to be the next big American star and Shakur is going to fade away. Yet who's getting the title shot first?
Shakur will get locked up and Bob will get Conlan a vacant WBO title shot
Luke Rodriguez
Conlan isn't good. Plus Shakur vs Valdez would've been a good fight, too bad he pussied out
Jonathan Ortiz
Conlan’s nowhere near top level, was that said on here?

Nah just some boomer I was talking to at a bar during one of his first few fights
Michael Morgan
you meet some fucking retards at bars there was one guy telling me Rocky Fielding was going to upset Canelo because of his height and reach, that guy was some 20 something West Ham fan though, not a boomer
Both of them are shit. 100% hypejobs. Conlan is more embarrassing than Shakur tho.
Luke Roberts
both of these faggots are classic top rank hypejob bums
after shakur knocked out his last bum andre ward said some shit like "I'd take shakur over anybody at 126 right now!" I know he's his manager but fucking kek dude, shakur is a bum, GRJ would wipe the floor with him

He's an olympic silver medalist who has visciously dominated two world title challengers, Valdez had no problem fighting guys like Sanchez and Tommasone who literally aren't even top 100 opponents, but pussies out the moment he gets a bluechip prospect showing up at his doorstep.
I support Mexican champions but Valdez is a bitch, I can't like the little faggot.
Eli Sullivan
For all the talk of frauds, bums and hypejobs, Anthony Yarde is the one real hype job, a manufactured boxer with a padded record straight from the 70s and 80s but somehow able to be created in the internet age by Frank Warren. He has a conman trainer and apparently does no sparring. He has avoided all domestic challenges to work the WBO rankings by crushing Hungarian cans and older smaller fighters coming on short notice. He boxes with his mouth wide open, at slow pace, doesn't throw combos, and his TKOs all involve a British ref jumping in to put us all out of our misery. It's fascinating to read people on forums talking themselves into giving him a chance against Kovalev.
Jaxson Gutierrez
And the guy who beat Shakur in the Olympics just lost to a fucking bum. It tells you that the moment these Olympians find someone who will press them hard for 12 rounds like Valdez they'll get exposed. Btw Quigg is way better than anybody Shakur ever faced and he also missed weight by quite a margin vs Valdez, yet Valdez still won clearly
Mason Foster
>It tells you that the moment these Olympians find someone who will press them hard for 12 rounds like Valdez they'll get exposed. Then why didn't he get a free win over a top 10 ranked opponent and silver medalist if it's so easy? He was okay with fighting Sanchez and Tommasone these last two fights, two fighters ranked outside the top 100, yet he's above fighting a silver medalist who has fought his way into the top 10? Come now, be serious.
>Btw Quigg is way better than anybody Shakur ever faced and he also missed weight by quite a margin vs Valdez, yet Valdez still won clearly >He unironically ranks 126's resident britbum Come now, be serious.
Oscar Valdez is a fucking bitch and a coward. Hope he gets KO'd for how hard he's ducking legitimate opposition. Probably pisses his pants terrified of fighting legitimate opponents after getting his jaw broken by the Britbum.

Ryder Roberts
bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/42264257 "When Vasyl was a very young guy, his father would not allow him in the ring until he took ballet lessons," Arum explains. "Then he made him do gymnastics. Vasyl has skills that other boxers do not have. When you see Vasyl Lomachenko you see a man with unbelievable qualifications.
"For example, he brings a sport psychologist to every training camp and after every training session, he goes with the psychologist and they talk about God knows what. Then the psychologist makes him do mind games. Whatever he does, I've never seen it before but it works.
"He's such an unusual person. He comes over to my house every once in a while, always bearing gifts. He brought me a backgammon set where the centre is the picture of him and myself. He's thoughtful. As a promoter the gifts are normally only ever going one way."
The secret to boxing: ballet.

What the fuck? I thought that even if the main event fighters were getting shitty fucking purses they were at least getting a fair share of the PPV sales, but holy shit that is horrendous.
Is MMA not really that profitable that some Boxing promoter with a lot of money to throw around hasn't just rolled in and bought out a bunch of fighter contracts and given them a fair wage like what PBC did to Golden Boy's expiring contracts? DAZN should have really went for MMA than Boxing with the money they had and given one of the non-UFC orgs a fuckton of money to buy up a bunch of expiring contracts with fair compensation for the fighters. Meanwhile DAZN is throwing literally hundreds of millions at one boxer who they can't even get to fight the fighter they want him to.
Tragic.
Jaxson Reed
>Efe Ajagba has the most stans on all the boxing forums. Casuals actually know Ajagba because of the Curtis Harper fight. My brother watches literally zero sports and even he asked me about that when it happened. Probably didn't raise his profile substantially for the long-term, but it certainly gave him a fair bit of fans and guys who will recognize him.
Jackson Sullivan
It's actually crazy how /box/ has taken the AJ bait. Hes so clearly trying to be the bad guy, diminish the ruiz win, and talk himself up and the room temp iqs keep on being shocked that Johnson said this, or that. This is probably the most honest hes been in years, no stay humble shit, just him trying to convince himself it was a fluke and ruiz doesn't stand a chance.
the problem is the way he does, instead of being blatant he still tries to keep his humble respectful persona, he does it in a "nothing against ruiz tho" way
Brandon Peterson
would be a good point except he's still talking dull media friendly guff in slick promotional videos like before
The thing is UFC owns their fighters. They can only leave the UFC provided they approve their release, that's why Connor McGregor had to do his boxing fight through UFC instead of independently doing it with Mayweather promotions. They can keep getting away with because mma is a young sport and they are the most dominant organization through buying out competition discourse the majority of mms fighters aim to get signed with the UFC cause its the only option.
They also don't get the protections from the Ali act because they're not boxers and all these mms orgs lobby against it so they can continue exploiting floor rolling fools.
Jose Torres
How are people making these?
Kayden Turner
Dont understand why Brits dont go nuts over Fury like they do AJ. He's the best they got. Absolute technician in the ring. Took a miracle punch for Wilder to beat him. Must be because he's a gypsy fuck.
Because he never fights anyone. His "comeback" is four wins over random bearded European bums. He could bring old Audley out of retirement and beat him up for a few rounds and it'd still be better than his current level of opposition.
Adrian Russell
Who would win between Liston and Deontay?
Brayden Collins
you're a joke if you seriously believe this. also >lucky punch

Grayson Russell
Based objective poster
Juan Ross
I think its because of this tagthesponsor.com/ Though there may be other things too
Justin Ward
liston shatters beyonce with the mere wind of his jab
Clearly a casual. Fury dominated him the entire fight, was a master class. Lol at you appearing to claim somehow Wilder waited all fight and set him up with a literal last second miracle punch.
He would abuse AJ. AJ has a glass chin, and the worst cardio in the history of boxing. He needs to worry less about his muscles and appearance. The second he fought a good technical fighter with fast hands like Ruiz he got abused. Fury would embarrass him.
The real reason people dont like Fury is because he's not a knockout artist. He's smooth butter in the ring, I guess that's why only real boxing fans appreciate him.
Samuel Moore
Because no one wants to fight him. Isn't that obvious? Even Wilder is avoiding the rematch, and I'm a big Wilder fan.
Michael Williams
Fury didn't do much the entire fight and all the rounds were uneventful until Wilder dropped him 2x. If you think trying to fool judges and the audience with taunts to make up for the fact that ur not actually doing anything, then you are the casual. How is it a master class if you don't win. HIs only other big fight was one of the worst hw fights in history against an old unmotivated Wlad.
Carson Stewart
Yeah cause wilder made fury sign with the Top rank and delay the rematch for a year so fury can take out cans on ESPN+
Austin Rodriguez
Did you watch the fight? This is an embarrassing take. You must think Mayweather was garbage too?
They finally announce the rematch after Wilder got dragged and abused on social media for avoiding it, let's see if it actually even happens.
Luis Reed
You act like the judges aren't corrupt. Practically every respectable publication called it a complete robbery and even called for an inquiry to the judges.
I'm an American and fucking hate Bongs and their stupid meme fighters. I loved when Spence went to UK and broke Kell Brooks face, but Fury is an excellent fighter and probably the most underrated boxer in the world.
Juan Ross
>probably the most underrated boxer in the world. yikes. He's probably the most overrated now. People think he's some grandmaster taichi level boxer now for some reason for beating bums, a old klitschko and barely surviving wilder for 12 rounds while he stood back and threw pitter patter shots from the outside.
He's very good but come on he's not underrated at all.
Justin Ortiz
>Even Wilder is avoiding the rematch, and I'm a big Wilder fan. Imagine LARPing like a faggot.
Brayden Ortiz
I thought for a second this was a story of some instathot getting exposed for having a fetish for farting on guys and my dick got hard, but nah, she was doing the fart sucking.
Colton Torres
Wilder got 4 rounds off the KD's, are you saying Fury won ten rounds clearly lol. That was a draw if I ever saw one. I'd favor Wilder to finish him in the rematch. Fury's got no punch and a glass jaw.
There's a lot to criticize Floyd for, but to compare their careers is laughable. Fury's literally done nothing but talk shit. Its a con job
Luis Roberts
No one compared their careers, only used that comparison because are both technical fighters that people like to call boring. Fury couldnt hold Floyd's jock.
Whether we agree on Fury vs Wilder or not, the original point was Brits should be rating him higher than AJ. AJ might be the most overrated fighter of all time.
Also Fury is still the true lineal champ until he's beaten.
Austin Martinez
>Also Fury is still the true lineal champ until he's beaten. >*defends imaginary title against 3 sub-50 ranked opponents and 1 #48th ranked opponent* Amazing champion you got there.
Kevin Bell
You can't act like he's not avoided. Your argument falls apart when he challenged and fought the most avoided fighter on the planet in Wilder. You act like he's scared. He gives zero fucks. He wills fight anyone and then sing Aerosmith in the ring afterwards.
Luke Lee
Fury out boxed Wilder easily. Only a sad ass casual would disagree.
Easton Hill
Wow finally a real boxing fan.
Brody Ramirez
>You can't act like he's not avoided Avoided by who? He ran from the Wilder rematch and refuses to fight anyone top 10, 20, or 30. Why the fuck would anyone duck a guy who you're guaranteed a mil against? He also flat out ducked the Whyte fight. Going from "I'll fight Whyte if the WBC guarantee the diamond belt would be up for grabs" to "Whyte is a bum, I don't care that the WBC put the diamond belt up for grabs.
Sad that people forgot about that fact. And I don't even like Dillian Wh*te.
No one will take you serious that he ducks. Were you in those negotiations? He fought the most dangerous and avoided fighter in the world. Who else would he be afraid of? You hate him because you think he's boring to watch, when in reality he's a smooth technician. Technical fighters always win the rematch, look at Ward vs Kovalev II. Dont be surprised when Fury wins.
Then watch every single Brit go nuts over him and act like they always loved him.
Justin Nelson
This is a blatant shitposter and I shant be giving this Furyfag another (You). You should put on a name so that you'll have the identity you want so badly.
Noah Brown
Based off what? Their common opponent AJ beat in a better way and aside from that AJ's got the far better resume. Fury's a conman. Don't give me this lineal shit either. you can't milk that forever, he got busted for drugs and lost his title. He's not shit. You're letting him con you w/ that "lineal" talk. Its bullshit
Angel Johnson
You're clearly a casual.
Adrian Evans
>Technical fighters always win the rematch
most of the time yeah, but deontay has all time great power and fury is just too big a target to not blast at least once
deontay learned from the last fight too ya know...I think he ko's him for real this time
Jace Bell
>Fury ducks fighters >Fury fights most dangerous heavyweight
It's going to be a great fight, glad it finally got done. I want Wilder to win, it's been a long time since we've had a true consensus American HW champ. Still has to fight Ruiz jr. If he wins, but he's American too.
James Allen

Spence never wooped Floyd in sparring, Spence woopee Broner in sparring. Floyd clearly let him tire himself out then flushed him. Easy work. You should feel privileged you were alive to see him box. A true genius in the ring.
Joshua Harris
A very very bad man. Will permanently end pac's career.
The amount of casuals in this thread is staggering.
Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather used to talk zero shit, show up and offensively dominate and knock out everyone, before he broke his hands. He was avoided by everyone for 10 years. He started the Money Mayweather antics to sell himself. Look what he did to Chico Corrales.
He beat 28 world champions. He didnt fight fighters at catch weights, he didnt fight a drained Cotto. He didnt dance around Canelo, he sat in the pocket all fight and walked him down completely embarrassed him.
When he fought Pacquiao he was 4 years older than him. He's a true ring genius, and only casuals talk shit about him.
Zachary Parker
I'm not convinced fury or wilder want the rematch. Fury knows someone can absolutely turn his lights off, and wilder knows that someone can go 12 with him. The reward just isnt there for either for the second fight now
Literally saw this on twitter. Living as a woman is life on easy mode NG+. There's an entire fucking fetish specifically around the idea of a woman making you give money to her.
Nicholas Rodriguez
James Kirkland is fighting on Saturday if you guys didn't know
Dominic Wright
Why?
Blake Hernandez
Money probably
Ryan Hall
Say what you want about Muslims but they’re sort off right when it comes to women rights. Women got rights and what do they do with it? They just use their holes to get what they want.
William Thomas
The problem isn't even just women though. Like you said, they're just using their cunts to get what they want, but the guys giving them what they want so easily are weak pathetic losers, the kind that spam /box/ threads with the whores they likely have shrines devoted to.
remember fat fuck Terry O'Connor carrying Cleverley to his corner
Jaxon Edwards
manny will never fight errol
manny is going to be the president of the Philippines one day soon. He just had a great win over thurman to cap off his all time great career. the only other fight manny will take is floyd, or maybe a bum to ride off into the sunset. errol would fucking wreck manny's shit and there's no reason for manny to go through that after his win over thurman
errol's next fight after he beats porter will probably be a defense against danny, and then hopefully we get errol vs bud after that but there will probably be some bum mandatory fight between that
Younger Krusher was an underrated body puncher. Disappointing he almost completely abandoned his body punching, his jab to the body was quite kino. Also had some great combos
Daniel Bell
Says common sense you dummy
Nathaniel Jenkins

Jordan Gonzalez
also: >no footage of his 2 fights with Charley Burley >no footage of his barroom brawl middleweight fight against Jose Basora >no footage of his brutal knockout of Jimmy Bivins >Shitty short footage of him finally beating Lesnevich (the champion that didnt wanted to face the great contenders)
And the one that hurst me the most: >no HD footage of his 2nd fight against Marshall even tho ESPN/Steve Lott has the footage and it appeared in a ESPN documentary about afro american fighters.
Oliver Sanchez
People like to forget that Kov actually cleaned up the Light Heavyweight division. The Ward losses makes people forget. Also, he was robbed the first fight
>whiffing on a softball highlight reel KO setup from Bob Arum
the "p4p no 1" couldn't do what Breidis Prescot did 11 years ago and Danny Garcia did 7 years ago
Daniel Morales
Acting like Roy wasn't over the hill vs Calslappy
Julian Long
Both bums
Joshua Gomez
Khan quit because he knew the highlight KO was inevitable.
Eli Allen
Getting hit in the dick was the best thing that happened to Khan that night.
Caleb Johnson
>allowing 2019 Amir Khan six rounds to quit
Owen Nguyen
If a Middleweight weight bully like Canelo couldn't take Khan out in 5 why would a Lightweight like Crawford do so? Unlike Canelo, Crawford didn't drop a single round to a mere con, and took away Khan's will so quickly that he quit in the 6th round, fearing the inevitable KO.
Oliver Torres
slurp slurp slurp
Jack Bailey
seething wh*tey
Lucas Parker
Canelo knocked out Khan so bad it gave him permanent slurred speech. He's a shot fighter who got dropped and went life and death with Samuel Vargas in the fight before and cashed out in Saudi Arabia the fight after. Pathetic matchmaking and a pathetic fight. Can't wait to see Crawford fight """""""Mean Machine""""""" next.
Brody James
Kovalev's 2 - 1 (and in this case the follow up 2) is so good. Not many people throw it opting to always hook. Find a lot of them end up stepping in and smothering themselves.
Ah yes like the common sense when everyone thought aj was going to KO that fat fuck Andy Ruiz?
Connor Gonzalez
>recently >kovalev ward Confirmed for casual. Worse robberies happen all the time and more recently than 2 years ago.
David Bell
>*must be Jewish
Austin Roberts
Jacobs won that fight
Alexander Robinson
Doesn't everyone know these are the fights tyson fury wants? He doesn't want top 10 guys or people that could challenge him, he wants guys that he knows he doesn't have to train for

Owen Perry
you forgot GGG v Canelo 2
Adrian Howard
Thought it was more of a draw. First fight was blatant robbery though
He just got robbed man. Glad Ward knocked him out in 2nd fight though. He was humbled in the first.
Brayden Price
Does Yarde actually have a chance or am I being memed by British boxing youtubers?
All I can see is he has can crushing power but nothing else.
Cooper Gutierrez
No chance whatsoever
Jeremiah Gray
brainlet
Carter Russell
Kovalev has this bad habit of being too cocky in the first few rounds and usually gets caught, has happened to him numerous times.
Yarde has serious power, could sleep him easy if that happens, but outside of that, hard to see how Kovalev loses
Christopher Lopez
see
David Hall
I'm still wondering how I fell for the Andrew Tabiti meme
Jackson White
>Kovalev vs Ward I Cringe. Ward beat him fair and square, 114-113 is the correct decision for Ward.
>GGG vs Canelo I Based. The judges robbed Canelo completely.
>Jacobs vs GGG Cringe. Jacob's could have easily won but he's a retard who thinks he's a switch hitter when he's really not, and Rozier is too much of a yes man to tell him otherwise.
>Fury vs Wilder Based. Jack Reiss completely robbed Wilder of a KO victory.
Christian Ortiz
>Meme hot takes
Christian Powell
>even floyd said >even You say that like Floyd has a vested interest in Ward or would be biased towards a Black fighter. Floyd has never been that kind of person to root for someone because he's a countryman or also Black. See; the whole Gucci drama with him.

scuttle back into your garbage heap gonzalito you slimy rat fuck
Juan Wilson
Only if you leave here and go back to r*ddit forever.

you,being a known redditor already,and trying to call other redditors,strongly implies that you are a slimy rat fuck you're some 2016 chicano zoomer faggot that trannyposts on /int/,neck yourself subhuman

i take my words back,rats are apparently intelligent and cunning creatures,but you're a dumb as bricks coon
Brody Thomas
Seethe harder, incel r*dditor
Cooper Rodriguez
I thought he could stink it out and win a controversial decision against dorticos. He did one of those things at least
Tyler Perry
ayo hol up my nigga. talm bout pound 4 pound kang but he aint even the best in his division my nigga.
Jeremiah Reed
Damn... just realized this applied to terrcan or canelo which ever way you want it...
Leo Lee
He's right about floyd tho. its just as likely that floyd didn't want ward to win because ward would have an undefeated record. He was petty enough to sperg out when people started saying Canelo's deal was the biggest
joe rogan made more commentating that probably 70% of these fighters
Leo Hall
I'm so happy aj got exposed for the overhyped bum that he is
I bet he retires if andy wrecks his shit again
Kayden Brown
Not his fault the British media went apeshit over him. He's clearly lost touch with reality though. He needs to worry less about his muscles and appearance and actually focus on cardio. Its shocking how bad it is.
Dylan Baker
literally all bums apart from yarde and campbell
Isaiah Gomez
>Yarde >not a bum
Lol
Landon Cox
Don't think he's serious bud
Owen Hill
Loma would outclass and UD Canelo, but would get KO'd brutally by Kovalev.
Caleb Gutierrez
The toothpaste poster is probably worse than the chi at this point. Just endless faggotry with that guy
Jackson Peterson
the "media" always falls all over itself to promote a black hypejob
Adrian Flores
>He needs to worry less about his muscles and appearance
Is there anyone with a better logo than Kovalev's?
Nathaniel Phillips
Holy shit I swear Floyd fans are a whole new autism
Charles Lewis
I'd kick someone's ass if I ever saw someone do what the guy on the left is doing. Like what the fuck has to be wrong with you to eat a pizza like that. Just eat like a normal person.
Kevin Nguyen
the napkin dab was stupid, but unpopular opinion; I have no problem with eating pizza with a knife if its hot.
arent you in BC? Dont chinese there not learn english? More people speak spanish in miami than english, anyways
Cooper Harris
>I have no problem with eating pizza with a knife if its hot. You and I would never be able to be friends. If it's cool enough to put in your mouth then it's cool enough for you to use your hands, you don't have to be a fag and use a knife and fork on pizza.
Ethan Rogers
i dont use a knife and fork, but i dont care if others do.
all of brazil uses a knife and fork to eat pizza.
Ayden Cook
I know most people watch, but does anyone here actually boxing? I've been wanting to get into boxing for years now and I think I'm going to finally start(been saving money) what should I look for when buying my first set of gloves and shoes? any recommendations?
i boxed for about 2 years, I stopped because my job was busy and my gym was progressively becoming more geared towards non-competition and more towards "boxercize"
I never bought gloves or shoes. My gym had ones, it was kind of gross but whatever. That being said, I think buying boxing shoes would be beneficial once you start sparring.
Justin Sanchez
>Garbage/faggot sports: >- every team sport
lol you got bullied at school
Tyler Adams
know of any boxing companies that make shoes for wider feet?
Brody Nguyen
no, I never bought shoes. For aesthetic purposes I like the adidas wrsetling/boxing boot.
Elijah Reed
im too pussy and want to avoid ever getting a concussion unnecessary in my life. a single one can fuck you up permanently depending on your luck.
John Hughes
I'd played hockey for 24 years without getting a concussion, I should be fine.
Anthony Stewart
How can you duck a rematch when you're literally on your retirement fight? I never understood why people gave Lennox shit for not rematching Vitali. The guy was well past his best, the fact that he ended up fighting a young future HoFer for his final fight should be bonus enough, a cherry on top of his already legendary career.
Liam Mitchell
Do you guys think shaolin iron fist hand hardening training would be useful in boxing?
30 minutes into the Crawford interview and I already liked it. I thought it would be boring because Joe would interject about Tyson for no reason like Teddy (Joe slurps, Teddy hates) and that Crawford would have no personality like always. But they talked about pretty interesting things like camp life and work ethics. Crawford actually laughs instead of having his permanent serial killer look and being a stone. I think Bo Mac being there helped lighten up everything as well too. I'll watch the rest tomorrow.
Alexander White
Can you give me a rundown? I would like to know about Crawford but I cant stand Rogan
Lucas Wood
Loved Floyd and RJJ growing up. Knows how it's not just about talent, you need hard work ethics to be at the top. Winning a belt is easy, keeping it is harder. Trains harder than anyone else, trains all the time. When he's not training, he helps other people, but gets frustrated because they don't listen/don't do things as well as him. Talks about how MMA pays slaves wages despite being having more/bigger injuries than boxing. Like Pettis who fought last week got paid $150k and got a broken foot/smashed up face. Says he likes yoga and shit. Says he keeps up with other boxers and watches interviews/knows memes. Says his kids will do baseball when they're older.
That's about 30 mins of the 1.5 hour video.
Luke Wilson
wow just go omaha already and suck that cornhuskers dick kippers.
Jack Murphy
Oh, and the most important part is that he says he'll retire around 35. He knows staying in the sport longer means you'll eventually slip up and get hurt. And training hard adds to injuries as well. He's 32, so he's got a few years left.
Connor Russell
wasting his last years fighting khan
Christian Price
That's the biggest "secret" in boxing. Almost everyone gets injured in training before fights but nobody can say anything about it for obvious reasons. Fights are only canceled if it's really serious but damn near everyone goes into fights with some nagging injuries
Logan Gray
>retire at 35, he's 32 years old Imagine wasting the last 3 years of your career fighting eurobums
Sebastian Moore
Has Kell Brook retired or is he still crying for the Khan fight?
Liam Foster
He's waiting for the next male stripper to have an open Saturday night
Luis Howard
Does it matter? He's fought 3 names. One for the title shot, one for the money, and the other because it was mandatory. And he won only one of those.
Cameron Torres
I'm sorry for being rude kippers
Ethan Rivera
Ahahaha faggot
Brody Garcia
>half black half Ukrainian Would he be the ultimate boxer?
Nathan James
tunde "anthony yarde is technically better than kovalev" ajayi
I have awkwardly wide feet and everlast pivt work for me really well after breaking in, I go up to the next full size. I had reebok boots before because they were recommended for wide feet but they never felt right
