4k boxing, anyone?

I found this neat software that employes neural networks to upscale lower res video to a higher resolutions. It's pretty badass after some testing. There's lots of potential here to remaster older fights. Here's a 10 second clip of Martinez vs Williams I upscaled to 4k 60fps using the software. (the source is 720p 60fps) Here's the same clip but upscaled to 4k normally for comparison. Bonus clip for the Williams KO. I honestly can't find any boxing video on youtube that looks better than this. I've heard DAZN has 4k (not sure if native), but I haven't really looked at it so I'm curious. Reason I only have short clips is because it takes 1.5 minutes to just render 1 second of footage even on my $500 RTX 2070 Super video card. Would literally take 3 days to do one full 12 round fight. I would like to try sometime though.

Pro Boxer opinions on Canelo vs Golovkin decision

Just watched GGG/Canelo. I had it 115-113 GGG but could not argue with 115-113 Canelo - very close fight!
— matthew macklin (@mattmacklin) September 16, 2018

8-4 or 9-3 for the Mexican. Body shots were the difference #CaneloGGG2
— Sergio Mora (@TheLatinSnake_) September 16, 2018

I think they ****ed up by bothering Canelo about boxing aka running the 1st fight 2nd fight he stepped right to G pushed him back and made him be the boxer..than won the last rd after a late ggg rally...no robbery folks give Canelo his props
— JulianJrockWilliams (@Jrockboxing) September 16, 2018

Just woke up and even though I went with I still can't believe how he dominated GGG what a amazing performance by Cinnamon @HBOboxing

GREAT FIGHT!! I got GGG by 2rds. Great night of boxing. #CaneloGGG2

115-113 GGG

I actually thought it was close but still had GGG taking it by at least two rounds. Both fighters came to leave it all in the ring! #GGGvCanelo2

Artur Szpilka‏ I watch the second time the fight Canelo vs GGG and really hard to point in general unless you have gently won GGG, which does not change the fact that is GGGboxing getting old.. But the fight really beautiful Zobaczyłbym 3 fight

Ante todo, ha sido una grandísima pelea, pero la verdad, vi ganar bien a GGG // It was a great fight and I saw GGG as winner.

Idk I thought Canelo won but I’ll watch it again tho. Helluva fight!!! #CaneloGGG

@KadoHinson Sorry bro. The right guy won.
— Andre S.O.G. Ward (@andreward) September 16, 2018

Close fight
— Badou Jack (@BadouJack) September 16, 2018

An amazing fight. No one can call that a robbery imo! Canelo’s speed and sharpness was on another level last night! GGG allowed him to dictate too many of the early rounds.. GGG came strong down the stretch but wasn’t enough imo. Amazing fight but for me boxing lost last night ��
— Tony Bellew (@TonyBellew) September 16, 2018

Boxing lost cos he is a CHEAT!! Simple as that......
— Tony Bellew (@TonyBellew) September 16, 2018

Fue muy clara la victoria de lo vi ganar por 3 puntos
— #TeamLinares �� (@JorgeLinares) September 16, 2018

Translation: It was very clear the Victory Canelo I saw him win by 3 points

Ok that was a very very close fight! So evenly matched! I think Golovkin’s work in the last three rounds was the better and therefore could’ve edged it, but so many close rounds that could’ve gone either way. Trilogy?
— Darren Barker (@DarrenBarker82) September 16, 2018

Me and archiemuzzer scorecards for #GolovkinCanelo2. Another close fight but both gave it Canelo by 1 https://t.co/E24wRSbJF0

Canelo earned it. By a round or 2.... ggg just seemed off tonight. Too slow. But....... at least we got a winner!

You can’t get mad about Canelo Perrformance he was #animalstatus
— Peter Quillin (@KIDCHOCOLATE) September 16, 2018

What a fight #CaneloGGG2 I gave the fight to Canelo. It was toe to toe action, Very exciting. Canelo surprised us all with the come forward pressure game plan. Well done to both Canelo and GGG. Boxing needed this @HBOboxing @GoldenBoyBoxing

Robert Garcia: "Canelo won 8-4 or 7-5" Miguel Cotto : Canelo won

6-5-1 to Canelo. Great fight. Two top class fighters. Watched that many slow mo replays and rewound just to say “wow” watching Canelo feint the left hook to the body and turn it to something else. I feel for Golovkin. He’s had 24 great rounds & only 1 of the 6 judges gave him it
— Paul Smith Jnr (@PaulSmithJnr) September 16, 2018

Watched again GGG won Canelo Did very good Congrats To him Congrats to Mexico on the Victory but Real Boxing Knows Canelo Lost I thought this time draw won’t be bad God Bless Everyone
— Vanes Martirosyan (@VanesBoxing) September 16, 2018

Jacobs: I thought tripple G won.

I though the decision rendered was right felt like Canelo won both fights and this time it was more convincing
— Willie Monroe jr (@WILLIEMONROEJR) September 16, 2018

Another top close fight, can’t argue with the decision, gonna watch it again today.
— Liam Smith (@LiamBeefySmith) September 16, 2018

What a tremendous battle Canelo vs GGG! That was boxing of the highest quality i picked Alvarez to win but personally had GGG edging the fight. �� to both brilliant fighters.

Rnd 10 Kovalev vs Ward Gif highlights

Continuing from my last controversial round thread, here's Round 10 now. (note: Ward landed a decent upper right at the beginning of the round, but the camera was zoomed too far away)

If you think I missed anything notable (I tried not count love taps/grazes), let me know by giving me timestamp from this video.

Round 12 gif highlights (Easy round for Ward)

Posting this because this was one of the conterversial round that Ward was supposed gifted. I'm using the alternative angle from here, not the HBO broadcast.

Roy Jones: "Good hook by Kovalev!" Me: LMAO. Completely blocked

Jim Lampley: "Good body shots by Kovalev!' Roy Jones: "Yeah they were!" Me: LMAO

Here's the body shot Roy jones claimed "hurt" Ward and its aftereffect.

Roy Jones: "Good Jab by Kovalev!" Me: LMAO. Completely missed

If you think I'm being biased, and I missed something in this round. Go ahead and make your own gif using Imgurs Video to Gif tool, and post it. If you scored this round for Kovalev, please tell me how.

Should that first kd in Crawford-Postol have counted?

Philosophically speaking. It landed on the back of the head, which is an illegal punch. Should a KD caused by an illegal punch count?

Lara: "CANELO AND TRIPLE G ARE TWIN BROTHERS"

"Actions speak louder than words. Triple G will fight a 147-pound guy, but wouldn't fight me, who's 6 pounds away," stated jr. middleweight champion Erislandy Lara, who reacted to the breaking news that unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin will defend his titles against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook. Lara, who has made it clear on several occasions that he's more than willing to step up and face the hard-hitting Golovkin, was unimpressed with the fight announcement. "As far as I'm concerned, Canelo and Triple G are twin brothers," Lara explained during a brief conversation with FightHype.com. He added, "Typical business first and not old school throwback fighters." http://www.floydhype.com/news/article25370.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Duva willing to bid on Kovalev-Stevenson now?

http://ucnlive.com/russia-love/ It's been a really fruitful trip; it was a really good idea to come here. . The shame of this is that if the purse bid had happened when it was supposed to, we would be in a position to bid." "But sadly, they pushed it and that's too bad because I really needed to come here with Sergey, take the time to make the meetings we had, to talk to the people we have talked to," explained Duva, who took heat for pulling out of the purse bid to protect their relationship with the network that had invested so much into Kovalev. "We have met with some people who can buy and sell Al Haymon 15 times. We can certainly bring a fight to Russia now. I feel we could do it but we couldn't do it ." It's probably BS, but if she really feels that way, she should call the WBC to hold another purse bid. EDIT: Oops, didn't see see Weebler's thread.

Jacobs-Mora had the best adrenaline rushing moment of the year

There's been other better fights overall and better KOs (usually predictable KOs), but for that one short span in time where Jacobs and Mora traded KDs, I reached peak adrenaline, which is the main reason I watch boxing. Nothing else so far this year has matched it, which is sad. Am I alone in this? Did I miss anything else noteworthy this year?
