This is a big opportunity for Foster so he won't pull out but if I were him I would definitely consider pulling out of the fight over this poo poo.

This may be wildly hot-takey, I think if you find one of the boxers was conspiring to illegally assault his opponent, you should probably not let that boxer do boxing.

Foster ended up stopping Roman in R9 after pretty much dominating the fight, so the whole glove thing meant exactly rip-poo poo.

Decent little card and good to see more prospects on TV. Rafe Bartholomew (who brought his boxing newsletter back with support from Ring City after The Athletic cut him due to the pandemic, in full disclosure) probably put it best that boxing has suffered since USA Tuesday Night Fights/ESPN Budweiser Boxing/Friday Night Fights all got axed, as they were cheap ways to support promising fighters and get them in front of a national audience, who then would want to see them on a weekend card and maybe plunk down money for it if need be.

iii (manila) is an all time classic, i (fight of the century) is also fantastic but i prefer iii because of its brutality and because watching old crafty ali is always a treat

if you’re looking for viewing recommendations, skip the second fight. ali spends most of it clinching

Then we can watch in good conscious e: conscience, since I don't expect any of us to be in the ring with Mike.
For real, though, that's a shot that creates a very visceral reaction I haven't put into words.

What are some of the better boxing documentaries out there on YT, Netflix or Amazon Prime?

I've watched several of the obvious more famous ones (most of the Tyson ones, Assault in the Ring, Legendary Nights and most of the Ali ones) and am mainly interested in the seedier and weirder side of the sport like the one I bolded and things like the Aaron Pryor v Argeullo "juice" bout.

TIA

I would love to be proven wrong, but surely Mike and Roy have the most gentlemanly agreement that two gentlemen ever agreed on, right? Is anything really gonna happen?

Would it be more likely that youtube douche and Nate Robinson have a real fight, as one of them is a dipshit and the other is new to the sport and the business?

The undercard also featuring legitimate fighter Badou Jack, who was also on the undercard for Mayweather-McGregor

The prelims have a bunch of made up titles including the vacant wbc American silver lightweight title, which is perhaps the fakest belt imaginable

As for Tyson and Jones, the commission and the promotion have been saying different things. The commission says they’re treating it like an exhibition, so they want no KOs or cuts etc and there will be no official scorecards. The promotion will have exfighters unofficially score it and have basically said that they can’t stop a knockout from happening.

It's gonna suck. Neither one was anything close to a good fighter when they retired and, as always, with loving Mike in the ring who the gently caress knows what happens or what "rules" get thrown out the window? It's pretty sad.

In their prime(s), these 2 guys were among the best I ever saw and were truly dominant for a long stretch. I've NEVER seen a fighter as dominant as Mike was in his heyday. No one. Jones was, for a good while, considered the greatest pound for pound fighter in the sport whose rep only suffered because no one in his weight class was a real challenge to him but when he lost it, he lost it hard. Now we're expected to pay $50 for something that would be an eye rolling plot point in another Rocky sequel.

This is going to be complete trash.

i think they’re just trying to build hype

if they’re not scoring for real and the match doesn’t count, you’d have to actively be hunting for a ko for one to happen; i think both fighters would be satisfied with showing that they still “got it” at 50 for a few rounds before they both suffer the actual effects of age in terms of stamina and durability

In my scouting of Nate’s training, he’s got good coordination but no power or zip to good padwork. Jake Paul is much bigger, so landing a shot will be hard. Paul has pretty good instinct for his right hand and, sigh, has a lot more experience. I liked this freakshow better when it was AB.
