I've always liked Bad Chad, mostly because he was one of the top guys at the time I was getting into boxing. I even bought tickets to Dawson-Hopkins I at the Staples Center, the fight that got canceled in round 2 when Dawson judo-threw Hopkins to the canvas lol. It's amazing to think of how quickly boxing fans went from speculating whether Dawson was going to clear out the light heavyweight division to speculating whether his fights would even be aired on TV. I'd love to see him make a real comeback, but personally I don't know if that's possible. I think he's the type of fighter who won fights by being 10% better at everything than the guys he fought, and at this point in his career he no longer has that 10%. I'm not sure that's something fighters can lose and then get back. It certainly doesn't happen very often.

How can you be complaining about Haye Vs Bellew, it was incredible drama, I loved it!

Fonfara has some questionable qualities, but he's got great heart which gives him the fight in my opinion.

I'm pretty excited for this broadcast, which feels like a weird thing to say about something that isn't on a premium channel or PPV.

Oh uh, the Fonfara-Dawson fight already happened and was untelevised weird

Just checking in to say HOLY poo poo, potential KO of the year on CBS broadcast by Lubin

Nice KO for Lubin. I guess Cota has real power? I know nothing about him, but that KO % is impressive.

What if Danny Garcia just goes on endlessly beating solid opponents convincingly for the rest of his career and retires as the consensus best ever lol

Hmmm so Porter-Berto is actually happening. How about that.

The SituAsian posted:Hmmm so Porter-Berto is actually happening. How about that. Weird to think back to when Berto was supposed to be the next big thing. Hell I bought in. Bought in so much that I kinda believed in Victor Ortiz of all people after he beat Berto. That was still a great fight at least. Probably my favorite Emanuel Steward announcing moment.

E: I think Porter has a valuable place in the welterweight division as a relentless pressure fighter who presents a unique challenge that separates the very best from the rest Jump King fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Mar 5, 2017 |

I drunkenly and possibly biasedly have it 4-0 Thurman, but I could see a reasonable person having an even fight at the moment. Garcia has had a few moments and that left to the body is doing some work.

Is Thurman good for boxing Garcia like this all night?
|
# ? Mar 5, 2017 04:33 |

I've not been scoring but this seems like one of those that can swing wildly either way depending what you're looking at

Hoo boy this is going to be hell to judge if it stays like this. Thurman more active, but Garcia really has a good measure of his body shots (low ones aside).

# ? Mar 5, 2017 04:41 |

Garcia's left hook is legit except for the low blows, those are obviously not legit

These crowd boos the last couple of rounds seem premature. Yeah things have slowed down but this is still a pretty active fight.

Agree with Farhood-feels like Thurman is running away with now

Thurman won this easily but I worry about playing it so safe the last 2 rounds.
