Ford won that fight and got robbed and since then Ball has fought three consecutive guys coming up from 122, one of whom was coming off a KO loss. He has very clearly been cherry picking while he waits on a potential Inoue fight.
The Ford fight was close and could have gone either way. You have to give it to Ball though, he's fought some really good fighters. Most fighters don't dare take on the challenges he's taken. I wouldn't necessarily say he's cherry picking. Look and Inoue, he's fought the best and beaten them easily, so he's taken a couple of easy fights lately and he's entitled.
Only thing I can say is that if this is real, then Jake Paul has a lot of balls, because he's gonna get killed! There are levels to this game and not only is there a huge size difference, but the skill level is far beyond Jake Paul's!
Zurdo is no walk in the park. He is big and has a motor. He won't back down and is going to set a fast pace. Dangerous fight for pepperoni nipples! He should definitely stay away from Jai O!
The first fighter that fought Mason back! Noaks is a basic, but tough fighter and hit Mason all night long. Mason needs to improve a lot before fighting a fighter with true talent. He's good, but wont be undefeated long if he doesn't work on his defense.
Gonna be a really good scrap! Ramirez isn't gonna lie down. He's the bigger fighter and has a motor. I don't think Benavidez can hurt many cruiserweights. He definitely better stay away from Opetaia! That's one bad dude! I think he stops Benavidez.
Haney is the man! He’s back haters! What happened to his PTSD? I didn’t see any of it. Congratulations to both him and Brian Norman on their spirited efforts.
What ever made you guys believe that a novice opponent like Brian Norman Jr could ever defeat a seasoned veteran like Devin Haney? He looked sensational last night.
I know why ya’ll pick Norman to win. It was because of you guys’ racial animus and bigotry towards Devin Haney. You wanted him to lose but he didn’t.
Now take that to the bank. My man is back on the P4P list You guys could say whatever you want but you can’t say that Haney is not a winner. That goes to all his haters.
Huh? They are both black!! Why are you throwing the race card? I don't get it,
It is a little early in his career to make meaningful comparisons at this early stage in his career. I will say that he seems to have huge upside potential, but so did a lot of other guys who fell short. Let's see how he does in the next 2 or three years against Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Lomachenko, of course.
Yeah, all those guys that you mention are a bit better than Teofimo
I saw Corrales, who was a super puncher bounce shots of Castillo and he just kept coming. Lopez, who hasn't fought anyone would get beaten up and ruined. He would take a severe beating! Not saying he wouldn't have a moment here and there, but Castillo is a much better fighter and fought all time greats.
Parker is right to not want to fight Joyce. Styles make fights, and Parker is tailor-made for Joyce. Parker is a come-forward fighter, which plays into Joyce's hands, as Joyce won't have to chase him. Add to that the fact that Joyce is bigger, stronger, tougher and has better stamina than Parker, and you've got a sure win for Joyce.
I like talking boxing and analyzing fights with other boxing fans. You are absolutely right, if Parker were a come forward type fighter. Parker's a boxer/puncher. Watch his fights against Dillian Whyte, Andy Ruiz and most of his early fights. He has a lot more intangibles than the Juggernaut. IMO Juggernaut is taylor-made for Parker if he can keep him off of him and hurt him early. Joyce's cardio is very impressive. A big man that has that punch volume is crazy, but he is slow and clumsy. I think it's a unanimous decision for Parker with Joyce making it close at the end of the fight.
From what I've seen last Saturday, Jose Ramirez would probably be enough to end Lopez's hopes to take over at 140.
Yeah, I think you're right and he better stay away from Josh Taylor. He looked kind of small at 140. The punches that he hit this guy with would knock 135 pounders out, but this guy walked through a lot of them. I don't think he's gonna do anything at 140 just like Taylor better stay away from the monsters at 147!
So true, the best part is if you look at that fight round for round Cotto beat him also, BUT as you know Cotto was the old lion on the way out and in with the new. Canelo is a good fighter but he's NOT great. We all have seen several fights where he has lost BUT he was given the decision. Real boxing fans know the truth!!
Lara. That was robbery!
It would draw more viewers then what they’ve been drawing against easy opponents. But ok Charlo/ Benavidez is better, do it. I doubt that too though.
The only way Charlo gets into the ring with Benavidez is if you put a gun to his head. He knows better. He will continue to starve himself to make 160 and fight nobodies thank to face that smoke!!
Kambosos is a hard-working C class fighter that people made a mistake of overlooking. He's managed to get under the skin of his opponents, like Lopez, and pulled off some upsets. If Loma is half of himself he'll win easy.
Lmao what? Did you not see the fight? He busted carnela good. He went from everyone expecting a ko highlight to marking carnela up pretty good
What?? I did see the fight! What were you looking at?
There's a possibility that Canelo may not be the same after the Bivol fight. It could be for a variety of reasons. Maybe he's comfortable after winning multi million paydays. Maybe the loss messed with his ego. One thing is for sure, other opponents including sparring partners, will be more bold when confronting Canelo. They no longer fear him the way they used to. The mystique has been shattered. Canelo is no longer seen as invincible. He's beatable.
Yeah, that's too bad. I wanted his arrogant ass to take on Usyk. He said he could beat him at 190. Not even the judges could've saved him from that severe ass whoopin he would've received. He wouldn't have been the same after that beat down!
The self professed GWOAT. There has been nobody that has called her the greatest woman fighter of all time, but her. You have to fight other greats for others to consider you that. Her problem is that she is so gigantic that there is no one worth a damn in those high weight classes to challenge her. They all suck! Amanda Serrano knocks her out. Katie Taylor outboxes her. Would love to see her lose!
All the "captain save a hoe" keep harping on this. I guess you think all fighters are saints. grow the f--- up
Nah man, I'm a real man that doesn't believe men should be hitting or abusing women or children no matter what! I don't believe in bullying people that can't defend themselves however I've kicked out plenty of ass whippins to those who deserved it! It sounds that you condone that type of behavior. If you do then you are also a cowardly little bitch!
Shakur has tried to fight Lomachenko multiple times to be turned down each time. How do you think Shakur ended up fighting Edwin? Loma turned him down! Didn't Shakur activate his WBC mandatory status at 135lbs just for Devin to go to 140lbs and beat Regis?
You must be the only person in the world who ever wants to see Shakur fight again! Have him fight Richardson Hitchins so they can run around each other and flick jabs in the air. I need a good night of sleep.
The only way Clenelo gets in the ring with Benavidez is if you put a gun to his head! Reminds me of when he wouldn't step in the ring with a prime GGG!
Canelo is great in his weight bracket, and he should stay in his lane and not switch up. He is a midget compared to the big boys, he would get smashed.
Weight classes exist for a reason.
You are absolutely right, but styles make fights and Bivol will always beat him at whatever weight. In the end, people are going to find out just how good Bivol is. Canelo is great, but arrogant. Hopefully he learned a little lesson. Beating an over the hill and shop warn Kovalev didn't prove anything. The younger title holding Kovalev that was knocking everyone out would have probably knocked out Canelo. Challenging Usyk showed how full of himself he was.
The saddest part of this trilogy is that neither of these femmes can knock the other out.
I wouldn't be so sure. A 40 year old probably can't take a punch as good as he use to. I'm sure Clenelo is banking on that
