I like how German media ponder that Sturm's only chance could be to secure a fight against Golovkin. Oh the irony!
I think he should retire (and I won't miss him). He is showing clear signs of age and obviously he is disliked by the judges (and perhaps other poeple in the background).
Johnson looks in tremendous shape. You can tell he's done a lot of road work. I can't wait until the American teaches the robotic German how to really box. Johnson is going to shock the world tomorrow night. Can't wait!
At least get your facts right - Vitali is Ukrainian.
You mean the round that shouldn’t have happened as Pulev showed his back twice?
He won every round even when taking a round or two off after the 3rd.
Who at heavy looks more impressive? Don’t say fury as he went to hell and back against Wallin not too long ago.
I get your argument, but the fact that Joshua almost punched himself out remains valid. I guess that is why he fights in spurts - and he will get in trouble everytime he fights someone with a high output and good stamina (someone like Joyce).
I pointed out that Fury´s performance against Wallin was bad. I would still favour him highly against Joshua.
Unpopular opinion: The Heavyweight division is weak right now and even if you think Joshua is the leader of the pack he remains (in my eyes) a poor mans Klitschko.
In other words: too much risk and not enough money.
Lebedev is very legit. He got robbed against Huck.
Exactly. Lebedev needs better opponents than once great but over the hill fighters though.
Look at the Pic, that shot was not in the clems, nowhere near, usyk was badly winded and could not get up before the count down of ten, dubois scored a ko there, total robbery. Usyk very beryl lucky man tonight, dubois has shown everyone the blueprint to beat the him tonight, smash his weak body in.
Find the rule that a lowblow has to be in the balls then.

I love how that idiot says Johnson is in tremendous shape and there aren't even any pictures. LOL.
There are plenty of pics

Im losing all the respect i have left for Haye now. This idiot was the man calling out the K'Bro's shouting they are ducking him! Haye is exposing himself. I genuinely think he doesn't want no part of Dr.Steelhammer.
This!

Why wouldn't Usyk be worried? He was getting caught with clean shots by Chisora. He also doesn't have the power to hurt Joshua. Joshua will destroy him. But at least he'd get paid well.
It´s possible, yes.
Still if I were Usyk I´d fancy my chances against Joshua. Fury is a different kind of beast.
But both Joshua (last 3 fights) and Fury (Wallin) have had their off nights too with substandard fights. One does wonder if Joshua left something in the ring in the first Ruiz fight.
That's interesting. Never even heard of Arthur using other methods of testing.
It ist true. Sauerland has very strict rules about testing and have had these long before Floyd made this a hot topic in the US.
Almost ironic, the one good thing Sauerland is doing ist having doping tests and then they don't hesitate to rob other fighters if they beat the sauerland guys.
Hopefully Chavez Jr. will get tested some day ;-D
If they fight Usyk will be flat on his back at the end. I guarantee it.
That´s a likely outcome.
If Usyk is willing to risk it they should just fight.
Might be a good scrap.
I could see Usyk winning by decision or via late stoppage, believe it or not.
Clearly it is all Klitschko's fault, that's why the IBF kicked him out of their top ten list ... oh wait.
You only have to read the news to see, that Teddy Atlas didn't want the fight and most likely Povetkin didn't want it as well. Sauerland didn't want to take the fight after he lost the purse bid. So Team Povetkin bitched out just like Haye did with a cheap excuse to make Kliscthko look bad.
I don't buy the slave contract crap, firstly, because David Haye willingly signed a worse contract against Valuev (to get more "bargaining" power) and secondly, because other boxers praised contracts (e.g. buddy mc girt - he praised the flight, hotel and food he got and didn't complain about the money either).
Povetkin could watch the Tua-Barrett fight but couldn't fly to the press conference or respond within 14 days?
If i was team Usyk i'd tell him to take a step aside fee and then cash out against Joshua. He's just not good enough to fight the top guys. Get that money instead of losing to a challenger for less.
After AJs performance against Pulev i guess Usyk is not too worried. He should worry a lot more about Fury.
Why not guys like Pulev, Price, Haye, Boytsov, or even a Povetkin???
Bold = Sauerland boxers.
Boytsov needs practice after his hand injury, while Haye is busy fighting Chisora. Vitali wants to become mayor of Kiev in October, so Haye and Chisora are out. Obese Solis ist out as well I guess.
That said, I'd like to see Vitali fighting someone worthy before his imminent retirement.

in case someone missed this.
You tried your best and came in second
I have to agree. Danny won this fight. He made GGG look old, slow, and on his downhill. Confused him, tagged him, and dominated the ring. He controlled action, and limited GGG's offense. Even the knockdown was not concussive, and Jacobs won the rest of the round.
To say GGG was exposed is an understatement, he was beaten by the younger fresher better fighter, his entire resume is up for debate now, because Jacobs is not an A class fighter.
Canelo is.....
Jacobs > Canelo
lebedev
lebedev deserves at least a rematch with huck or participation in a cruisertournament, as he clearly beat huck.
Sad that the promoters get away with these robberies, but who can honestly blame them, when there is no instance stopping them from doing so?
Hopefully, this will get stopped some day (but I guess this is just wishful thinking).
I had Valuev winning on points: so did Jim Watt on the British broadcast.
Haye is a joker. Maybe he is going to invent a cure for cancer next year while he's at it.
I had Haye winning, because although he was backpedaling all the time, he did land the cleaner punches. It was like Dirrell Froch all over again.
At least he showed that he can stick to a gameplan.
btw. what happened to his hand injury, was it real or not?
Lol, it just shows most of you idiots neither watch fights nor have interest in boxing, apart from sucking off whichever boxer has the biggest hype.
No, Josh never had no stamina problems in that fight. He just threw too many punches in the 3rd round and had to re-gather himself in the 4th and not punch himself out. And that's the smart thing to do since Pulev doesn't look out of it.
Stop it - Usyk doesn't have Pulev's power and he definitely doesn't come anywhere close to Pulev in terms of boxing IQ and guts. I'd actually pick Pulev to beat Usyk or win 5 rds against him if they were to fight.
Pulev has the best jab in the division and I don't care who you're - he'll outjab you (he outjabbed Wlad as well in their fight). The fact that AJ took that away shows how good he's. And against a southpaw - the jab is the most potent weapon an orthodox boxer can use to keep them offbalance and set-up the straight-right down the pipe.
Stop chatting shiiit - you don't know ***** about boxing and have NEVER boxed in your life.
And you expect a decent reply after all the **** you have amassed into that brainfart post of yours?
The 118-110 card is a disgrace. Worst card this year by a mile. 10 rounds to Chudinov? No way. It was a close fight. I had 115-113 Sturm.
Gazprom is happy that they got what they paid for I guess.
Sturm never won more than 3 round - never ever.
He stood stupidly right in front of Chudinov and got tagged and never mounted an offense of his own. Sturm's legs are gone - he looked old and he couldn't pull the trigger. He also did not work behind his jab - which once was his best weapon!
Chudinov is slow but he timed sturm well and outscored him by a wide margin, taking almost all of the rounds.
Du tager fejl!
