Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero, Devin Haney vs Jose Ramirez, Teofimo Lopez vs Arnold Barboza Jr

For May 2 in Times Square. Not a bad card.

A look at the three fights headlining the May 2 boxing card in Times Square

 

Not bad at all! Actually very good but obviously, Garcia vs. Romero has no business being the headline. How that guy keeps getting fights I'll never know. Pathetic choice on Garcia's part.

 

Garcia's by far the biggest name on the card. Of course he's gonna headline. Rolly is terrible, but he's a mainstream name, so they can sell it.

If the card was going by the best fighter involved instead of star power, then Lopez vs Barboza would be the main event. But you know it doesn't work like that.

 

Barboza's gonna let us know where Teo truly stands as a fighter. Because an A-class fighter should easily handle a Barboza level guy.

If Teo dominates, we'll know he still has it.

If he struggles or loses, it's time to give up on him.

 

Teo should be embarrassed imo. He's the New Yorker here, yet two Cali boys are coming on after him. What a disappointing career.

 

Won't be surprised if Barboza wins. He's a smart fighter

 

It's Teo. Of course i won't be surprised if Barboza wins.

 

I wonder if Ramirez can upset Haney. It's possible. Ramirez looks used up, but we have no idea how Haney will look post-Ryan.

Like I said on a previous thread, I think the Ramirez of 6 years ago batters Haney.

 

Never in the history of boxing can I recall a time when you had more insufferable characters on one stage.

Ryan, Haney, Bill Haney, Teo, Teo Senior, Rolly, Ramirez, Oscar, Hopkins, Hearn, Dougie Fischer... all at the same press conference.

Lord have mercy Jesus what a collection of fucking clowns. The event might as well have been sponsored by Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey.

 

Fatal fury? Seems like a bad choice of name given the actual risks boxers face.

 

Teo already died once in the ring.

 

I remember Brian Barbosa from the late 1990s. That really was a great MW division. Even the B level guys like Council, Echols, Barbosa, McCracken, Eastman,Cherifi etc were solid fighters.

Sorry what were you saying?

 

Echols knocked his ass out the ring. I had that fight on VHS.

 

Yep. Up and down war..

 

If Ryan wins....and Tank is retiring .... Who is the guy at 135?

 

Looks to be Keyshawn, though I'm not a fan of his.

 

Shakur needs to be at 135

 

What the fuck would garcia winning have to do with 135? His fight with romero is at 147

 

He's already battered and dropped the next-best guy (or one of them) at 135.

Like it or not, what happens to Garcia has a bearing on how things are perceived at 135.

 

Do you even watch boxing?

They fought at 140 and garcia missed weight by over 3 lbs

 

Boxrec says both guys are lightweights.....maybe as their manager you say otherwise

 

That pacquaio delahoya fight sure proved who the top 130lber of the era was

 

qed Oscar made 147 but was no more a welterweight than Ryan is today or Devin is for that matter.

Hatton was 147 Vs Collazo. True welterweight,right?

Not to mention Roy Jones clearly being a heavyweight.

Devin and Ryan are lightweights. Dudes having catch-weight fights means shit until there's a concrete move to a different weight.


A chap can always be too smart Neil.

 

Give it up lad.

 

Stop typing dumb shit, Ladd mcHonkey

 

Why are these two dressed up as FAGS??
