Angry Goose Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I haven't looked up how big Paul is, but he's gotta be quite a bit bigger than Floyd no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Just finished Spence v Garcia. Not much to say other than Spence dominated another opponent, and Garcia isn't a cakewalk. Really want to see Spence v Crawford now. Spence's power and high output vs Crawford's slick skills and compete level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Alvarez v Smith was aight. Shakur Stevenson has come a long ways since the amateurs. Developing into a top pro. Very offensive guy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I was a bit put off by his entrance to the ring - being carried on a throne, wearing a crown. Especially since he hadn't really won anything yet. But good luck to the young guy - should be interesting to see how he fares. **************************************************************************************************************************************** https://www.si.com/boxing/2021/01/04/ryan-garcia-campbell-knockout-boxing-future-title-fight?suid=5cc1babffc942d7988391785&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SI Extra 010421&utm_term=SI Extra - USE THIS - List A good night for Garcia. A great night for boxing. It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that Garcia is potentially the most important fighter of this generation. Only a handful of boxers in recent years have magnetized fan bases. Oscar De La Hoya supercharged an emerging Latino market. Floyd Mayweather attracted a strong urban audience. Garcia’s power comes from his social media presence, highlighted by nearly eight million followers on Instagram, most being introduced to boxing by Garcia. That power will only grow. The 135-pound weight class is loaded. Garcia doesn’t have a world title, but his popularity makes him the division’s most appealing opponent. Some 6,000 fans trickled into American Airlines Center, a COVID capacity sellout. DAZN, the streaming service broadcasting the fight, chose Garcia-Campbell as the unofficial launch of its global service. Highlights of Garcia’s win was one of the top trending videos on YouTube over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Oscar is coming back. Gonna be part of that silly fight club thingy. I think he wants a mma guy with a name that he can beat like that you tuber is trying to do. Suppose we are inching towards celeb death match stuff.

Canelo very dominant vs Saunders. Those LH counters to the body must have hurt. Kind of wish he had a bit more respect when it came to Mayweather in their prime tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I didn't know that-ouch. Towards the end Canelo had a nice side step uppercut I really liked. Overall an impressive fight by CA. Good strategy and just broke Saunders down. I watched the heated clip of Demitri Andrade in the post fight presser. That's a fight I'd like to see happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ya I'll be watching Mayweather exhibition vs Logan Paul.. its fun although nothing serious.. Can't believe it.

Ya that punch towards end of round 8 fractured Saunders' orbital bone. Canelo knew right away and knew Saunders wouldn't be coming out for next round.. “Saunders set to have surgery today on multiple fractures to his orbital bone, a complete blowout, known as a quadripod fracture. Brutal injury.” He's a big mouth. This is the video he posted a while back when Dubois had an orbital bone fracture (same injury) in a fight and didn't come out for next round.. Karma is a bitch...

I can't figure out what he's trying to say in this clip. At one moment he seems to be saying the only way to leave a fight is on a stretcher - implying that this other boxer should have continued fighting with an eye injury. But then he seems to say it'll take a long, long time to come back from this injury, acknowledging that it's a very serious injury. In any event, loud mouth or not, I hope this injury does no permanent damage to the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I've seen a further quote from Saunders. It's surprising how saying some things can come back to bite you. Wonder if Dubois had anything to tweet in response? ****************************************************************************************** https://www.si.com/boxing/2021/05/09/canelo-alvarez-billy-joe-saunders-three-questions Saunders's injury is legitimate: He spent the night in the hospital and is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair multiple fractures to his orbital bone, according to his promoter, Eddie Hearn. The brash Saunders, however, invites criticism. He has ripped fighters for what he has perceived as quitting. Last year, he criticized heavyweight contender Daniel Dubois, who allowed himself to be counted out after Joe Joyce broke Dubois’s orbital bone—the exact injury Saunders is believed to have. “If my two eye sockets were broken, my jaw was broken, my teeth were out, my nose was smashed, my brain was beaten, I was not stopping until I was knocked out or worse,” Saunders said last year. “I don’t agree with a man taking the knee and letting the ref count him out.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hoping Canelo/Plant goes down in the fall. Been following Plant for a long time and he is a slick fighter. That being said so is Canelo, and he's got power to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Not happy with Spence vs Pacquiao. Doesn't seem like a fight Spence should be doing at this point in both of their careers. And people balked at FM v MP.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
