The Ninth Layer posted:Good showing for Peterson, his body work was something else that fight. I don't know why, but I've always really liked Peterson. He's got like no power but throws a pretty decent volume, is a great body puncher, and has a very cocky air about him when he's in the ring (the shoe shining he did against Holt and Jean were hilarious). I can't remember who said it originally (it was on BLH though), but I don't want to live in a world where Lamont isn't shambling forward like a zombie and harassing the body.

mike- posted:I think Thurman will win in a fairly easy fashion, and the fight will be less competitive than the Porter win. Danny is a good counter puncher, but his feet are slow and I think he will have problems with thurmans power and athleticism. I also think that Danny lost to Herrera and arguably lost to lamont Peterson (and would have definitely lost if the fight had been in the 15-round era). I think Thurman will give Danny the same kind of problems that Peterson did except with a ton more power. Part of the reason Peterson lost the Garcia fight was because he drat near gave away the first half of the fight out of sheer inactivity (despite making Danny look like flailing dogshit in the process). I don't see that being a problem with Keith, and he'll also have the blueprint from the Lamont fight. But since boxing hates me, Danny is probably going to knock him out or something.

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:I am worried that GGG is gonna eat a bad punch sometime. He's pretty cocky and lets people hit him quite a bit. There are definitely fights where he's started to get in actual trouble, but puts the gas back on at the last minute and punches his way out. That seems pretty easy to gently caress up. The Lemieux fight is the blueprint though. He didn't gently caress around with him at all, just jabbed the poo poo out of him defensively for like 5 rounds, then went into seek and destroy mode. It's not always the case, but the guy will take some shots carelessly just to gauge the other guy's power (Monroe, Stevens, Geale) and then go to town if he decides they're not on his level. That is something that could get him into trouble, but I think he and his team are smart enough to know that Danny Jacobs probably isn't a guy that you employ that strategy against.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:I would love nothing more than for Jacobs to really get GGG, to get him in trouble. I want GGG to win, but seeing him overcome genuine adversity to do it would be amazing. It wouldn't reduce my estimation of him either, we've seen a lot of really good fighters who had to struggle for wins, that's part of what makes somebody a great fighter imo. The other positive to this would be him looking "weaker" and hopefully coaxing Alvarez and Golden Boy into a potential fight (lol jk, we all know that's never happening) ozymandius1024 fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Mar 15, 2017 |

I won't even get condescending about it and be like "sorry it wasn't two dudes in a phone booth just throwing the entire time", but it was two top 5 P4P guys going at it near their primes. The stakes were insanely high, and they actually put on a pretty darn good fight (not a stinkout people expect of guys like Rigondeaux and sometimes Ward)

Noctone posted:Yeah this. It was only Lomachenko's second professional fight. Salido missed weight by a mile and ended up showing up to the fight a full 11 pounds heavier than Loma, and he got away with several low blows. Just by pure objective measures, Loma outpunched Salido both by the number of punches landed and especially by percentage. Ended up being a close split decision. And even with all of this, by the end of the fight Lomachenko was still loving Salido up. I thought for a few moments that he might actually get him out of there. If that rematch ever happened, I have no doubt that he'd obliterate and embarrass him (which is why it hasn't happened, because Orlando and his team know that too)

The Ninth Layer posted:This story understandably got buried on Saturday by Mayweather-McGregor news, but ESPN and Top Rank announced that they have a minimum 4-year deal made between them. ESPN is now the exclusive carrier of Top Rank fights, will be showing both their big event cards as well as the smaller cards Top Rank used to develop their fighters that previously got buried on Spanish only channels, and will also be broadcasting PPV fights for the company. ESPN is also getting access to Top Rank's fight library of classic fights. I'm more excited about this than I probably should be.

I've been trying to tell everyone I know that it's going to be excellent, and a much better use of their cash than May/Mac was, but none of them give a poo poo. It's depressing the gently caress out of me, because this fight is everything that boxing fans want even down to the styles and stakes.

Maybe freak show I dunno, this entire year has been ridiculous, so I think it's just coincidence. A big part of it is honestly is HBO telling Top Rank to gently caress themselves, and then Top Rank having to put up quality matchups (or at the very least marquee fighters like Pac) to get approved for ESPN. This is obviously something that could swing back around like it did last year (gently caress 2016), but this year has been amazing.

I'm not the biggest fan of his style but drat what do ya'll (the British) have against him? I don't think it's just a British thing. A lot of people don't like his style because it's a little ugly with him smothering his own work and constantly bumrushing in with his head down. I think he seems like a pretty decent guy (his dad is a bit of a tool though) so I don't really have a problem with it, but I can see why some would.

mike12345 posted:Are there any fights you would recommend to someone who's new to boxing*? Like fights that are heavy on technique or there's something special about them. I watched that mexican fight in the OP (Bandido vs. ?), really enjoyed it. Then I watched a couple of Ali and Tyson fights, but honestly that Bandido fight in the OP was probably my favourite. Bradley/Provodnikov Castillo/Corrales Gatti/Ward Matthysse/Molina Vargas/Miura Basically any recent Fight of the Year. These are all excellent brawls between guys with tons of heart. If you want something that's heavy on technique (like, a LOT of technique, the most technique), Lomachenko/Rigondeaux is next weekend on ESPN. ozymandius1024 fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Dec 1, 2017 |

And I kinda doubt Loma would jump all the way to 140 immediately. Did anything ever come of Linares vs Garcia for the WBC belt at 135? I'd imagine if Mikey can make weight for that, a fight against Loma at that weight would be entirely possible (If Vasyl's team was ok with it, anway)

The Ninth Layer posted:Spence vs Peterson tomorrow, should be a good test for where Spence is at. Lamont Peterson has a lot of experience and he's one of the hardest B-tier fighters to get a clear win against, so if Spence can put him away early it'll be a pretty big statement. I know it's probably going to be a walkover for Errol, but I've got shameful amounts of love for Peterson so I hope he at least makes it interesting. It would've been so amazing if Lamont could've gotten the decision against Danny. That would've done wonders for his career (but it was his and his team's own fault that they gave away the first half of the fight strategically).
