Salazar Romero is the biggest upset I know of.
" Sad to announce the passing of famed Atlantic City-based referee Steve Smoger at the age of 79 after a long illness. Smoger refereed over 200...
This is what I was thinking of from December of 2021: " BOXING announcer David Diamante has been critically injured in a horror motorcycle crash....
Diamante sounds like he is sick. Is he? Anthony Yarde is very decent from what I remember of the Kovalev fight, but Beterbiev's style doesn't...
I don't know if he is the best defensive fighter, but he has superb defense. I like that he isn't a defensive fighter, he just has solid defense.
Bivol is throwing heavy bag combinations against Ramirez and getting away with it pretty much every time.
I like Ramirez a lot, but Bivol is demonstrating just how good he is.
LOL, Wilder gets another one-punch fuck the guy up knockout. Lennox has very few of these. But Wilder doesn't hit harder.
Actually, I think I like Beterbiev more, but Haney is the pick for #1 p4p.
Haney is mY favorite boxer these days. He is the closest thing to SRL we have these days, imo, and SRL is the greatest boxer, imo.
Does Marshall have the ability to keep Shields off of her?
I'd say there is a decent chance that Wilder is the biggest puncher in heavyweight history. Lennox's power is being overrated in this thread and...
Contrast this to amateur wrestling. Yes, the rules have constantly changed since I wrestled in the 80s, but the techniques and skills are way...
Hopkins. Holyfield. And I like the Pacquiao pick.
Well, he did become a world champ. But, he also falls into the New York/Boston IBF only-type champ. He's in his 30s. He can still make a lot of...
Smith is a tough mofo who just needs someone who can't hurt him to show what he has. Hopkins's tricks didn't do shit to him. He's good, he's just...
I can't tell how hard Beterbiev hits, but he obviously hits very hard. He just has an aggressive style, lots of amateur class, and he has a lot of...
Betterbiev does not figure to get hit by Smith so this should be a brutal fight for Smith while it lasts. If Smith has more class than I think,...
No. It is an opposite side ko, though. So many one-punch knockouts occur from that.
Haven't seen Kambosos so couldn't make a prediction. Haney is my favorite young fighter right now, not because he's fun to watch, but because he...
Tell me about Whyte. I know nothing about him other than what he looks like.
Huge Tszyu fan, but his resume sucks. Pretty similar to Calzaghe's, except for Calzaghe's final 3 wins--Kessler, Hopkins, and Jones.
I thought Lopez lost the Rosendo Alvarez fights. He certainly would have and could have made more money than he did. Carbajal and Chiquita made...
I rate Pac at the top in both categories. I assume they all deserve *'s for juicing, though.
All deserve to get in under any definition for HOF. Never a fan of Toney, but he is easily a HOFer.
I saw this fight live on big dish satellite on a feed. One of my favorite recordings. He says something about Delahoya in the post-fight...
Thanks. That seems pretty consistent with the few posts I was seeing here and other places.
Official scores at time of stoppage?
Ah, fuck. Was the stoppage good? Did Canelo begin going for a stoppage around R9?
Canelo is not playing counterpuncher? He can lead, but he prefers to counter.
