2018 is really shaping up nicely. We could get Golovkin-Canelo 2 (signed), Usyk-Gassiev (signed), Joshua-Wilder (rumoured), Lomachenko-Pacquiao (rumoured), and potentially even Thurman-Spence. Those are 5 of the biggest fights that can be made in boxing. Plus, we should see a unified super middleweight champ with talks of Gilberto Ramirez fighting the WBSS 168 lb winner, very interesting 154 and 175 lb divisions, Terence Crawford's new campaign at welterweight, and Tyson Fury and Andre Ward potentially returning. There's a lot to look forward to.

Have any of you Brits heard of this? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/59wjq8/learn-to-spot-the-secret-signals-of-far-right-fashion Apparently Lonsdale has become a neo-nazi brand?

It's a continental European thing I think, it doesn't really have that reputation here. I first heard of it when my cousin told me after he went away to Amsterdam; he was wearing a Lonsdale t-shirt and went into a bar, and a black dude came up to him and was like "what you wearing that poo poo for". My cousin was obviously a bit wtf, but it was all civil in the end, with them explaining any confusion to each other. This must've been about 20 years ago.

Watching every Pac Man fight in order is going well, I've learned a lot. For instance, before undertaking this I had no idea that the Manny Pacquiao who fought Floyd Mayweather was, in fact, a ghost. It's true: apparently Juan Manuel Marquez killed him in the last second of their last fight.

Lots of british brands were popular with Neo-Nazis in continental Europe (especially Germany) because that's where the skinhead subculture and aesthetic was from and a few of them had some added bones like the "NSDA" in Lonsdale or the red-white-black stripes on Fred Perry polos, but most of these brands actively fought that association, Lonsdale had the "Lonsdale loves all colours" campaign and started sponsoring a bunch of cool things like pride parades or migrant football clubs in Germany. That lead to the Nazis starting their own clothing brands (one of them is is a Lonsdale knockoff called "Consdaple"...) and the skinhead look isn't that important for them anymore anyway.

Great article thanks. Ouch though: "When the fight ended and Pacquiao was being stitched, Jinkee sat with her husband and several of her friends read Bible verses aloud. Most of them had to do with infidelity"

So pumped for tomorrow. Rooting for St George so he can get knocked out in the WBSS final by Callum Smith in front of 80000 screaming fans at *checks Wikipedia page of English Soccer Stadiums* Emirates Stadium

Gay Horney posted:I can't find the boxing on ESPN thread but this Moses v Beltran bout is turning out to be quite cool Yeah. sorry about that. Just kind let it die on the vine after Loma-Rigo; maybe I'll make a new one for 2018. Right about this fight being great though and when there's infighting its especially great EDIT: Close fight but a narrow Beltran decision sounds right given how he started and closed the show. Also have to be heartless to not feel really good for him to finally win a major belt after so long. The SituAsian fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Monday Bandele posted:Isn't Young Christopher coming up in weight and training himself? Those are always bad signs He does still have a trainer he works with, but it's the guy who trained his dad, he's older and says that he doesn't do as much as he did before. Jr claims that he does it all himself but I'm sure he has people in his camp he works with. He was also apparently pretty big for middleweight and his camp has been talking about moving up since 2014. He's now had 3 fights at 168 within the past year so it's not like he's coming into this fight cold or anything.

Groves is so fragile. He's outclassing Eubank and has him cut yet you still feel he could get sparked at any moment.

looks like Groves dislocated his shoulder in that last round

Eubank looked undisciplined, shooting punches wide by a country mile and getting outboxed on the outside or smothering his own work and getting outfought on the inside. The ref looked like a butcher by the end of the fight.

Ha ha Kevin Mitchell reckons Eubank jr won on points:quote:From this vantage point at ringside, the first semi-final was closer than two of the three judges reckoned. Howard Foster scored it 117-112 and Steve Gray had 116-112, both for the winner, while Marcus McDonnell’s card of 115-113 for Groves was closer to many estimates. The Observer gave Eubank six rounds, Groves five, with one even, or 115-114 in favour of the Brighton fighter.

If I was feeling charitable I could have given Eubank Jr. 3 rounds, but he was taken to school by Groves. Reading the report on the Guardian app this morning and seeing that they scored a narrow points win for Eubank was a very wtf moment.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/boxing/2018/02/20/nieky-holzken-replaces-jurgen-brahmer-callum-smiths-world-boxing/ Replaced by Nieky Holzken lol. I don't know how to contextualise this for boxing, but Holzken was an unimpressive champion in a weight class that had no money in it for decades. I follow kickboxing religiously and I had no idea he was going to be on the undercard.
