Nonsense Nonsense, poor comparison.

Neuroscience of KO Indeed, the classical KO results from a hook to the chin that causes extreme cranial rotation, whereby the brain rotates slower than the skull and impacts against the boney inter-cranial structures. This results in nerve damage and unconsciousness. It is not very uncommon for boxers to get up after a few seconds and continue to fight. There are even cases of them coming back to win. But Price was hit on the temporal lobe (i.e. near the ear), and although some brain rotation/displacement may have occurred, he was never unconscious. In this case, a sensory overload and severe disruption of Price’s equilibrium was caused by Thompson’s short, snapping punch just behind his ear, which impacted his vestibular system in the inner ear. It is amazing and courageous that that Price even got up, but he was in no condition to fight. In the rematch Price’s psychological and emotional state will be the key. If he gets angry and goes for revenge, he may get caught again by a Thompson counter punch. If he tries to box him, he may get out boxed by the wily veteran. He needs to make it a physical fight and lean on Thompson. I would guess a UD for Price. But with some luck and discipline he could achieve a late round KO.

NO Easter Jr is not! Staple Center. Los Angeles, Mikey Garcia at 38(30)-0 vs. Robert Easter Jr at 21(14)-0 for the WBC vs IBF lightweight belts unification. How do you overcome a 20cm reach advantage? Mikey Garcia will answer that question this Saturday. He will show us that good footwork, and moving at angles will get you inside every time. Easter Jr is a tough kid from Toledo and a good boxer, but he's no match for Mikey Garcia, who moves like a Matador and punches with amazing precision from either stance. Garcia will be the boss and will control this bout. Easter Jr will pay for every mistake he makes, and if he is open, Mikey will take him out! Jab Hook predicts Mikey Garcia will beat Robert Easter Jr by unanimous decision.

Jab Hook Picks "Bolivita" by KO http://nyfights.com/latest-boxing-news/prediction-page-uzcategui-over-plant-by-stoppage/

hope Sergei is safe and sound after the bout Wilder is a dangerous young fighter with a hammer for a right hand. As an Olympic Bronze medalist he must have some skills, but he also certainly has some holes in his game. He leans in to the right when he jabs, keeps his head up and his hands down sometimes, and he's never been past 4 rounds. Maybe stamina could be an issue, if the "White Wolf" can get him into the later rounds. I hope he crowds this guy, leans on him, works his body, and frustrates him. And if things don't work out, I hope Sergei is safe and sound after the bout. AND that he hangs up the gloves...

Get off that stuff! Whatever he was on, be it alcohol, ecstasy, bathsalts or the combination of these, he needs to stay away from that stuff!

Wilder's boxing has been under-estimated by many Jab Hook believes that Wilder's boxing has been under-estimated by many, and add to that the lesson in the “sweet science” he got from Tyson Fury five months ago. Remember, though he only started boxing at 20yo, within 2 years Deontay had won the US amateur heavyweight title and the National Golden Gloves. The next year he nabbed a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics. He can box.

Is there a best boxer? Each bout is a new challenge, and outside the direct context of a specific match-up it is pure conjecture who is the best and who's P4P, etc. Loma is incredible, he is like a dream come true for this aficionado. Maybe he's even my current favorite boxer. But no one was, is, or ever will be the best! :boxing:

Internet Boxing saved my life... Thanks David, Great article. I am an obsessed boxing fan and have used the Internet to feed my addiction for years. As an expatriot American living in Munich, I enjoy free TV boxing on a regular basis, too. Now that Kathy Duva's Main Events has convinced NBC to play along, and has managed to put some good cards together, things are looking up in the USA. Boxers behaving badly is interesting, but more compelling would be a regular, tabulated update from Ring or boxingscene, or any other platform on the subjects of boxing judges behaving badly, boxing referees behaving badly, and boxing promoters behaving badly. Creating a "Hall of Shame" for these groups might help put pressure on them. Ultimately, without federal oversight and sanctioning consequences little is likely to change, but it is worth a try. Particularly, boxing judges behaving badly have hurt the sport. My 2 cents.... Joe Healy

Thanks Lyle! Very nice article, and congratulations on your success picking bouts. You are among the few that opening list your rate of accuracy.

Conlan is hardly ready for a stadium after that performance! Conlan is hardly ready for a stadium after that performance! Conlan's lack of boxing development and his under-estimation of dos Santos' skills led to a closer fight than expected. Conlan seemed nervous and a bit distracted by the hometown pressure. His punching accuracy and his footwork were not up to the task, so he struggled to deal with the pressure that dos Santos brought. Conlan's defense really needs improvement, and his lack of concentration shows he is still a beginner as a pro boxer. Back to the gym for Michael Colan, return to basics and learn to focus on the tactics and strategy you practice in the camp before the bout. Listen to your corner!

Not interesting, not boxing, circus BS Not interesting, not boxing, circus BS

Trump by headbutt Arum will employ his standard lowblow, to no avail as Trump has nothing in his crotch! Trump counters with a headbutt and wins by KO DQ...

Welcome back Kellie Maloney You go Girl! Kathy Duva is right. And you've got the guts to make this work, but not the balls (forgive my joke).

Relative risks of death for sports... http://www.besthealthdegrees.com/health-risks/

Doped up dude! Chavez has been hitting the bong and has munched his weight to >200lbs, which bruised his heel when he was out running for the fast food.

Klitschko's amazing comeback? April 29, 2017, “The Heavyweight Generation Gap” Klitschko vs Joshua in Wembley Stadium, London with a crowd of 90,000 equaling the British record of Len Harvey vs Jock McAvoy set in 1939! Key statistics are: Physically very similar. AGE (41yo vs 27yo) and Number of bouts (68 vs 18, Klitschko also had a much much longer and more decorated amateur boxing career), Last bouts:4 months Joshua won, 17 months Klitschko bad loss! WOW! Two Olympic Gold Medalists, 16 years apart, now meet in the pro ring! Wladimir Wladimirowitsch Klitschko is ready for his historic comeback. Anthony Joshua is leading the pack in the resurgence of British boxing. This bout will end violently, but who goes down? The athletic young powerhouse, or the veteran champion who dominated his weight class for so long. My old school loyalty favors Wladdy to comeback by using his experience and a new-found aggression, otherwise his career comes to a smashing conclusion. Keys to victory: Klitschko has to use all his experience, his confidence, and any tricks he can muster. He must control distance. He must get Joshua's respect within the 1st round. Klitschko's jab will either win, or lose the fight for him. His “Steelhammer” can only strike when it's been set up by that piston jab. Above all, Klitschko must take calculated risks to have any chance at winning this fight! Joshua must quiet his butterflies, forget the immense “hometown” pressure, and rely on his athleticism and speed. He must avoid taking any direct punches early in the fight, but he can start fighting more offensively after Rd 3. Joshua needs to move, attack suddenly, get in and get out, focusing on the body. His use of footwork, especially pivoting, could frustrate Klitschko's more static style. If Joshua shows patience and does not let the event overwhelm or distract him, his chances of catching Klitschko on the chin in the middle rounds is good. As the fight wears on Klitschko's chances could improve in the championship rounds. (Do the officials favor AJ?)

Coach Very Pleased, no doping controls so far! Povetkin's Coach is Very Pleased because the VADA CBP has done no doping controls so far!

Viva Mexico! Viva Canelo!!! Viva Mexico! OK, Cinco de Mayo, Canelo vs Chavez Jr. - Even though the bout occurs in the shadow of last weeks mega, Heavyweight showdown, it is a compelling meeting of two Mexican opposites. IF, for the 1st time in his career, Chavez Jr. has trained diligently, managed his weight-cut early and slowly, stopped smoking weed, and is now able to listen to his corner, then he could use his size and durability to wear Canelo down and win by late stoppage. But Chavez Jr is not the guy to turn himself around like that, he's too comfortable with his life and his losses... Canelo shows his class and proves he's ready for GGG by stopping Chavez Jr. with a L hook to the liver in Rd 5. Viva Mexico!

Broner's punk career Mickey Garcia is one of the best boxers around today. Mikey has incredible boxing skills and knowledge due to the decades of his Mexican American family's boxing history. He will help put the final nail into Broner's punk career, which has been a huge waste of talent and time.

So so, Sosa... Sosa will be just cannon fodder! Loma by late round TKO, referee stoppage.

TITSworth incident HBO (Home Boob Office) Team certainly milked the TITSworth incident! Excellent Improvisation...

Self-preservation... Hometown advantage, the judges wanted to get out of the stadium alive!☠️☠️☠️

Item 9. - DQ DQ- They were both holding and the blows were all to the side of the head, hence legally thrown. Nice acting, Hammer was tired. She wins the fight and an OSCAR!

What? Jose Sulaiman is the personification of boxing corruption. That he should care about Pacquiao or any other boxer is a bad joke.

DAZN is an app for TV's too With DAZN you can watch it where you want. I have the app on my TV and Ipad and Iphone. Boxing is <1% of the sports available for the $9.99 monthly. Completely agree with Corey Erdman, DAZN is good for boxing.

Again, Teddy is full of it! Again, Teddy is full of it! "According to Atlas, Stevenson nailed Gvozdyk with only one flush punch throughout a fight Gvozdyk won by 11th-round knockout December 1 at Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Canada." Watch that fight yourself and see that Atlas is always more impressed with exaggerations than the truth. Worst of all, when the he is working the corner, he love the camera and the microphone more than his boxer.

Geography? tiliheels, check your map dude! Monaco is not France, but it is a place where the billions of Euros are found. Money = crime and tough guys, especially at the port. Poor guy is done after Messing with the wrong crowd.

Stevenson running from the "Krusher" They say it's all about business, but I find it a funny coincidence. Adonis seems fearful of Sergey, and Haymon realizes that the profit risks are too great to allow the Stevenson vs Kovalev bout. I sure hope that the fight eventually get made.

Floyd's plan for Aug 26, 2017 Floyd's plan for Aug 26, 2017: Take no risks and make him miss, punish him for every mistake. Play with him like a neglected old toy that you throw around the ring for a few rounds, until you get bored with it. Then you finally break the boytoy for good by knocking that ragdoll through the ropes onto the floor. You do a little celebration dance, curse at the camera and take home $400,000,000 !
