No reward for cheaters. If he cheated for pillow fisted Haney, he'd OD trying to cheat for Ortiz.
Lol. This one made me chuckle. I still would like to see it. Ortiz has had a run of bad luck. At least he'd get some exposure. Nothing ever seems to work out for ortiz .
Good Undercard, like this one. Cobbs is a quirky mfer, but he can punch. Hooker is more traditional but also on the decline which is weird cause they are both the same age, but there is more milage on hooker. Cobbs still acting all youthful and , so call me crazy, I'ma go with Cobbs inside 7 rounds.
This entire format is getting awkward. I'm not sure that this is a smart move by DAZN. Mexicans will not take to this ****ery. This entire thing is starting to feel cheesy.
It's easy to come forward when your reflexes are twice as fast as your opponent because you waited until they were 36 years old to fight him. GGG tried to come forward a few times but Canelo slipped his slow punches and then countered with bullets. It boggles my mind how all you idiots out there cannot see you are being manipulated based on when these fights take place. If they wait until a fighter 33 or older, that's a declining fighter. 36 isn't a declining fighter, it's a complete joke. You guys are being fed the performance of a 36 year old and being told that has something to do with how good he was when he was in his prime, but it has nothing to do with it.
Bhop, Pacquiao, foreman, marquez would dispute your argument.
Like I said before; Mikey can fight when he wants too. He simply laid down against Spence. He just refused to try. I know that Vargas is not the puncher that Spence is but damned; You have to take some risks. He just tapped out against Erroll, Spence; Perhaps it was to due to his not wanting to be knocked by him.
I partially agree. The problem with Mikey is not that he can't throw a good right hand with some pop and speed. The problem with Mikey is that he isn't aggresive enough. Vargas should have been out by the sixth.
Mikey has no killer instinct to create openings, he settles for what is given to him. That strategy will not play well with the elite, more polished, and hard to hit fighters. Mikey does not have the footwork for that style of fighting. He needs to be more aggressive to compensate for his lack of footwork and inability to dodge punches. His best defense is offense.
He is trying to play Mayweather's game with an inferior toolkit.
I'm glad Eddie Hearn feels like John Ryder "really deserves it", cause the rest of us don't. John Ryder poses zero threat and brings nothing notable to the table to bolster canelos "legacy". The man has been defeated by three opponents that canelo easily disposed of; Callum smith, rocky fielding, and billy Joe saunders. And that's not counting the questionable victory against Jacobs.
This is a sham fight that should be broadcast for free. Either way, not paying for this trash.
Watched this one live in AZ. it was a very even fight. Estrada definitely took the last round. I would have been okay with a draw. It was a good fight. Estrada fought well going backwards and chocos constant pressure was good. They were both missing a lot of punches. At the end of the day, it was highly competitive. a 4th bout would probably yield about the same result.
Cool story
I wont go on about who I thought won tonight but Ill say this. My best friend just happened to be staying with me tonight. He isnt a boxing fan and knows nothing about the sport. I told him, "Bro just watch the whole fight and dont listen to what the commentators say and tell me who think won after its over if it goes 12"
During the fight he would comment about how the commentators would say that Canelo landed a punch and he would say, didnt that go off the black guys glove? and i would be like yea, he blocked that, dont listen just watch the fight.
Long story short he was surprised Canelo won the fight, this is a guy who never watches fights. No bias, 100 percent shocked that Canelo could do next to nothing and win a fight.
Cool story bro.
I know this has nothing to do with canelo va Kovalev but Shawn is a huge welter... and this is what 21 pound difference looks like... I’m saying 147-168 equals 21... canelo going up 15! Let that sink in
That's great but can you please stop repeating that "let that sink in" idiom. It's been overused, over exaggerated, and frankly is downright annoying. It makes you sound like you're full of dog poop
BS…..I’m going with Tim for the win, Vergil has literally fought not one person worth mentioning!!
His two best opponent were Kavaliauskas and hooker at the lower weight divisions. Give Ortiz a little break, he went through some real shit with health problems that caused him to jump two weight classes. These last two fights were supposed to be tune-up fights and it's not his fault how they've turned out. Clearly he is stepping up in class with Tom tzyu. And come august we will know what's, what. Till then I'd reserve the harsh judgment. I'm sure Virgil is as frustrated on how his career has turned out.
Im Mexican but even I know Cruz is getting stopped, he ain’t winning the fight. Mayweather Promotions don’t believe in Tank that’s why they match him up with guys they know Tank is gonna beat . Cruz style is perfect for Tank, he has no head or waist movement and he opens up wide when he throws. That’s why Leonard Ellerbe turned down the Devin Haney fight as a replacement, they don’t believe in their guy
He is a sucker for that Davis uppercut. Leans in with the head too much. But as long as Cruz is standing, he has a small punchers chance.
The Dream has been fighting guys way smaller than him his whole career...check his record.
The hate, the hate is strong with this one. Get over it, Haney lost, they are the same size. Plus if Haney was that much better, he should have not gotten caught so many times by that hook. Everyone knew about Ryan's lethal left hook. Probably the best left hook in the business right now.
Fact of the matter is, is that Alvarez feels disrespected. So the only way to get this fight on the road is for David to apologize to Alvarez. Respect is a good thing
Disrespected? That's the reason to not fight someone now? You can't make this stuff up. When someone disrespects you, that's the more reason to fight someone. Let's not pretend like canelo hasn't gotten heated with fighters. Remember Caleb plants pre fight beef? Canelos excuses of not fighting after being disrespected is only used when it's convenient for him. Dude is a little diva. Jotolon.
Why would a promotion company stop talking to the press? The entire point of promoting is to use all channels of media, which includes the press. For better or worse, this publicity only actually helps Ryan Garcia. No body would be talking about Ryan Garcia, had it not for this little locker room drama. My pessimistic nature thinks this is all made up to get people talking about Ryan garcia and gbp.
I, for one, cannot understand the purpose of promoter if he relies on the fighter to promote himself and his fights. :boxing:
Well that's probably because you've never managed or coordinated an event. It isn't something Crawford can just pick up and do himself. I'd imagine you'd have to have the right connections too. There likely lawyers involved, contracts with venues, television, social media, etc... There is lots that goes on before Crawford enters that ring.
