Loving Africa Chaps posted:Also massive slap in the face that they weighted till this long to confirm it in order to sell more tickets. nobody is that unfathomably stupid. the second it was announced everybody assumed bin man. second best cruiserweight in albania actually exceeds my expectations and it is still the worst fight that people will pay money for this year and that includes the potential rampage / 50 cent match.

Cigar Aficionado posted:In better news, an extension to Callum Smith vs George Groves has been approved by the WBSS; it's being targeted for sometime in September. The laughable alternative would have been for Callum Smith to fight tournament loser Chris Eubank Jr, so thankfully we avoided that joke outcome. Hopefully Groves is fully fit for the fight. this is all really sick. sorry about loma though. hope he comes out of it ok. i would be devastated if he didn't get a couple more scalps to solidify is already outstanding resume

Noctone posted:So I guess Canelo-GGG rematch is off indefinitely. GGG was demanding an even split and apparently that is unreasonable???? He deserves an equal split 100% and with charlo / Saunders etc in line I say gently caress Canelo. It isn't GGG 's image in tatters lol

i've been meaning to ask: what did jeff horn do to piss off the entire continental united states? from my perspective he's just a tough school teacher who lucked into the victory of a lifetime which earned him a thorough beating at the hands of maybe the best boxer on planet earth. sounds cool to me.

The SituAsian posted:Horn himself seems like an ok guy but his trainer Glenn Rushton is a really weird svengali type who's transformed Horn from mild-mannered success story to just being insufferable. Here's a pretty interesting article about him and his philosophy. It's basically Tim Lane (Chris Algeri's trainer aka the "let him out of the cage" guy) mixed with Steven Segal and a dash of The Secret thrown in for good measure. Good poo poo.

usyk's hypothetical success at heavyweight hinges entirely on whether or not he can take the punches. skill-wise, i think he could beat any active heavyweight on points.

I'll probably pick fury to control the range and dictate the pace for an ugly and lopsided and sort of tedious 12 rounds. If you feel strongly either way, the odds are a pick em

i keep forgetting ggg / canelo 2 is fast approaching. how does everyone see it going? i'll be putting money on a draw regardless, but i'm not sure how the actual fight will play out because of two main wild cards: 1) does the recent drug scandal mean that canelo will be on heroic amounts of steroids or no steroids for the rematch? im not sure how it works in boxing but is there a way that enough money will allow canelo to be glowing en-route to the ring and piss clean or is there still some integrity in that department? if integrity exists and canelo goes in there unassisted and the first fight was him fully assisted then i don't like canelo's chances. 2) ggg is now 400 years old. he looked great against matriosyan but that tells us literally nothing. has time affected his stamina or power? i'd like to see ggg work canelo's body a whole bunch more and really put the screws to his stamina. a focus to the body i honestly believe could lead to him winning a stoppage victory. if canelo goes in fully assisted AND time has degraded ggg a touch AND canelo fights the fight of his life i could see him winning a legitimate decision. that's just me though and i don't really know boxing. what's y'alls hot takes? how will it play out?

MMM Whatchya Say posted:I do think that's why Golovkin didn't do that many body shots though. same, and it was baffling. canelo's head movement is good, but his body was there to be whaled on. if golovkin works his body with the traditional bad intentions i do believe he can still put canelo away.

canelo did a good job of acting shocked, but i'd be surprised if, based purely on golovkin's reputation, he didn't try for any edge he could get.
