Hahaha that dumb fucker’s dirty rear end move is gonna cost him if the fight ends on that cut

Not watching but I saw a pic of the cut, was it from a butt or something I guess?

I appreciate Conlan for making this fun instead of winning easily.

It apparently pissed Bud off, which is a good thing as far as just watching a fight.

The supposed pound for pound number 1 fighter getting rocked by and being reduced to coinflip exchanges with a top 15-20 welterweight gives me a serious case of "Peloton Lady" face

Terrible fight plan out of Crawford but I like that I got to watch an entertaining fight when I wasn't expecting to.

Idly watching this PBC fox card and catching up on the thread and y'all really spent two pages arguing about Logan Paul and Antonio Brown?

Anyway the fights haven't been particularly good, but someone almost Andrew Golota'd themselves out of an easy win in the first one.

Most of this thread has already seen these fights I'm sure but there are worse ways to spend a Saturday even if you know what happens:

Looked up Larry Holmes on boxrec watching this Tyson thing and he fought Butterbean in 2002? Which is sad for multiple reasons for Larry, I mean you shouldn't have to take a joke fight at 52 if you were once heavyweight champion of the world.

But the fight was 10 rounds? Esch never fought more than four in my mind, for obvious reasons.

I also discovered Butterbean is still alive, which surprises me given everything about that man.

Got a request I saw someone post in one of these threads a few years back.

There's a fight that I think (?) was Marco Antonio Barrera early in his career where the guy he's facing just completely gives up on guarding his head. Like he's happy to keep getting tagged in the face just so Barrera wouldn't do that left hook to the body anymore.

Not a great fight or anything, just an interesting thing where the guy was like "ok, just please hit my face now."

As I remember it this went on for a couple/three rounds before they finally stopped it.

I'm a pretty casual boxing fan, but looks like Hollyfield/Rahman was pretty notable.



:lol: imagine having that thing growing out of your head and walking out knowing you were going to get butted several times the next round given everything Holyfield.

Jermaine Taylor in that graphic made me smirk, then I remembered Jermaine Taylor.

What happened with the whole shooting his cousin thing?

I like this instant replay rule. That was a knockdown and now scored as such.

They got that right for sure, but I see this going horribly wrong pretty soon.

I'm so far out of boxing things at this point I'm only vaguely aware that these guys are good but this is a real good fight so far.

Haney gets literally behind Kambosos a whole lot. Like if he were allowed to punch the back of the guy's head this would be even worse than it already is.

Can we just go ahead and skip the contractually mandated rematch?

I think I saw all I needed to see here.
