I had no idea this was going on and after looking up something on it...quote:Chase Center, Wilmington, Delaware - In his first fight since last June, former four division world champion Roy Jones Jr. (65-9, 47 KOs), 48-years-old, secured a eight round stoppage over Bobby Gunn (21-7-1, 18 KOs) in a cruiserweight contest. Stoppage was marked at 7 seconds of the eight. ...why? Why did this happen? Who pays to see this?

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

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.

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.

Shame too cause I really want Hijo to beat Canelo's fat head in. Is there a way to bet against JCCJr making weight for any particular fight? Because I think I'd do that just about every time.

From that article for people who don't click through:quote:Pacquiao holds a contractual rematch clause with Horn should he choose to exercise it, but Roach is clear that no matter where Pacquiao goes in from here in boxing, should he not retire, he won’t be co-signing a Pacquiao fight against Terence Crawford. Is that even possibly on the table? I guess it's a good name to get on Bud's list of wins but...robbed or not you're coming off of a loss to Jeff Horn right now. As to the self-training thing it wouldn't be the first time a boxer has been incredibly dumb about things, but I remember Manny pre-Roach. He was a fun and talented brawler, I'd happily watch any fight he was in. But he became the possibly best P4P argument monster he was at his best after Roach was training him.

Figueroa/Guerrero might not be a great fight, but it's a pretty damned fun fight so far. I think I might have posted that the second it became a one sided beatdown.

The SituAsian posted:Edit: Also Robert Guerrero retired today. Didn't see the Figueroa fight but I hear he got the poo poo kicked out of him, and he's not looked good in a while, so definitely a wise choice. He started off pretty aggressive and I think won the first round. Then Figueroa starting hitting back and things didn't go well, he went down 3 times from around mid second to the end of the round. Guerrero came out for the third and looked like he was moving ok, but ended up going down a couple more times and the ref called it.

Huh, didn't realize that's the first time Guerrero's been knocked out. Figueroa made it look pretty easy, although I'm sure that's aided by the Ghost being done. Also Figueroa's problem was his hands kept breaking wasn't it? They apparently held up pretty well on Saturday.

TwoDogs1Cup posted:https://youtu.be/JA91fYiBE_8 Andrew Golota was...weird. It's worth looking him up to see how crazy his career was. He was a pretty talented boxer really. He had previous heavyweight champ Riddick Bowe beaten twice, but for some reason just kept hitting him in the nuts. Not like he was doing it because he was in trouble or losing, he just wanted to punch the man in his balls. He got disqualified both times. Here's a different fight where he just quits. I mean, yeah he got tagged and knocked down but he was up at the count of 3 and way ahead on the cards and that was the last round. Here's that whole fight with Tyson, he got knocked down in the first round. At about 4:08 or so you can hear him telling his corner to stop the fight, but they convince him to go another round. That leads up to the thing you linked where he's just like gently caress it and walks out. Basically he couldn't mentally deal with being hurt or being tired is my best guess, but who knows?

If you're not sure what to look up just check out ring magazine fights of the year for a while, I think most of them are on youtube. e: Well the relatively recent ones, I guess those go back to the 40s or something? Haha, oh, the 20s. Yeah you probably won't find those.

Yeah I've seen a lot of this going around and I don't really get it. It's always possible GGG is slowing down, he is 35 after all. I'd just not say it's a definite thing based off of that Jacobs fight.

big money big clit posted:A guy who is stuck in full mount can still be defending himself if he's preventing most of the punches from getting through. Nobody can say whether the ref in that case did a good or bad job because you don't know what you watched. Or if he's Oleg Taktarov he's just fine no matter how hosed up his face is and how much someone is headbutting it  big money big clit posted:Watching boxing but going all aghast at MMA is silly. Boxing is extremely bad for long term health, very possibly even worse than MMA due to the far larger number of head impacts over a career. I think it's quite likely boxing is worse for you, the sub-concussive impacts over time seem very dangerous and boxing is a lot more likely to let a dude get beat up a lot longer before he passes out. But more research should be done of course before we call that conclusively, although enough research has probably been done for most people to (correctly) say holy gently caress my kid will never box. I just love this stupid, corrupt, person destroying sport too much to stop watching.

mike- posted:I'm still on the Daniel Jacobs is really good and pointing to that fight as evidence of ggg falling off is misguided train. But with that said, it isn't crazy to think that a fighter has lost a step at 35. In any event, ggg will probably have to stop canelo to win because of all the bullshit judging in canelos fights. Yeah this is where I am. He'll eventually fall off because he's human and getting old, but I suspect he's still scary good. And he'll probably have to be because Canelo is no slouch and like you and everyone has been saying GGG is probably going to have to stop him in order to win.

I missed it if someone mentioned it earlier but Magomed Abdusalamov got 22 million from New York for what happened in his fight with Mike Perez. Good for him, I don't remember the details all that well but a lot of stuff that went down after that bout were real sketchy. Like his trainer had to flag down a cab or something to get him to a hospital because there was no ambulance available after a freaking boxing match?

The SituAsian posted:Imo Golovkin should just take the Billy Joe Saunders fight in Kazakhstan. Unify all the belts and retire. He is only getting older and will never get a fair shake against Canelo. Too much money involved in a rematch. Beyond that I kinda do think GGG actually tries to give the crowd what they want? His handlers might stop him I guess, but they'd have to see him declining quite a bit past where he was tonight.
