We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

That was a dumb stoppage. Like I get you can't let people just take a battering but takam (who owns) had repeatedly shown he could take those blows and shrug them off.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

He's too big, too slow, no footwork and he's gassed after 6 rounds.

he's got a big heart and he showed it in the wlad fight but i definitely see exactly what you said to become a factor soon. someone like usyk would give him fits.

Usyk gives anyone a hard night because he's technically excellent, Joshua isn't a mug though, it's not a Haye v Valuev situation

Joshua's at his best when he gets drawn into a brawl and doesn't have to try and pick apart a tough/patient opponent, which is why a Wilder fight will be amazing.

"Patel"? Fuck you.
Terence Crawford is officially moving up to 147. It's the right move, 140 is cleaned out and 147 is talent rich with some name opposition to take on.

I would be excited but I am pretty certain they are just going to keep him in the Top Rank universe while claiming the high ground and say that the Haymon welters (everyone who would actually be an interesting opponent) are afraid of him.

I got invited to a UFC fight party so I'm watching that instead of boxing for once. Probably can't catch the Wilder card on Showtime since I'm at a bar.

That he is because 1) other heavyweights just can't stop pissing hot 2) Stiverne is a Don King client and the sanctioning body is the WBC
