    What does Lomachenko do wrong from a technical standpoint? Somebody tell me.

    Is a win over Mr. Gary Russell Jr. better than a win over a David Lemieux?

    He tends to slap a bit with his punches (especially to the head) and to not turn his hips as much as he should when throwing punches. As I said before, he didn't had these problems earlier in his amateur career, so it might be related to some hands problems.

    I thought the announcers said he was 57-1 going into that fight. He was actually 50-7-1.

    I'm pretty sure he fought Kevin Pompey at one point. But I can't remember what happened. If he did, I'll watch it tonight.

    Indeed. I love that fight! Great back and forth action. Ali started fast and built up and early lead, but Arroyo gradually broke him down to the body then ended matters with a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEE right hand that came outta nowhere.

    Kell Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn posted a video recently stating that Errol Spence Jr's people have turned down a fight with Brook. Last week, Spence's reaction (audio only.)

    Damn, he straight up said that Thurman is easier work than Garcia.

    If Thurman beats Porter, it's gonna be harder for him to duck Spence unless he gets the fuck outta 147 to 154.

    Spence isn't ducking anyone. Hearn is a muppet.

    Hearn was caught lying about Khan wanting an 80/20 split with Brook. A neutral third party involved in the negotiations said that wasn't true at all.

    It was an interview with Hearn, not a video he posted. Apparently after Spence's response, Brook posted a video calling Spence the next Jeff Lacy.

    Spence's opponent in the IBF eliminator, Konstantine Pomerav (30-0, 13 KOs) has withdrawn with an injured hand. The IBF now has ordered Spence to fight #7 ranked Leonard Bundu (who took Thurman the distance) with the fight to take place in August and the winner in line to fight IBF champion, Kell Brook.

    More than A Year Ago, Spence and Bundu were Supposed to Fight, but Bundu Was Also "Injured" in Training Camp...We'll See if the Fight Comes to Fruition This Time...

    Eddie Hearn is a fucking liar. But don't worry, Brook will keep accumulating wins so that people will fall for the lie that he is good.

    He'll stop Bundu.

    At this point, I'd like to see Spence-Porter by year's end.

    Spence will make Brook AND Thurman look bad when he stops Porter.

    I don't think Brook will fight Spence. He'll head to 154 after beating Vargas.

    Garcia's daddy will steer Danny clear of all of them or as long as he can.

    Even worse if Brook gets schooled by Vargas in Sheffield.
