That’s not a bad point. But if you don’t get the win, you don’t get the win. I’m ranking like a sanctioning body — on official results, not personal opinion on who REALLY won a fight in my opinion. No org is legitimately ranking GGG above Canelo based on what shoulda happened with the scorecards. And “Beat him pillar to post” is a phrase usually reserved for boxers who haven’t been floored twice in a fight and lost consciousness once (and yes I know that shouldn’t have equaled victory for wilder on the final scorecards). My two cents. Thanks for the response.
1. Wilder (# of defenses, level of opponent > fury’s comeback fights)
2. Fury (skill level, lineal)
3. Ruiz Jr (based only on recent win and possession of belts)
4. Whyte (performances since AJ fight)
5. Anthony Joshua (recent chinning takes him from 1a/1b to 5)
At 4:45 of that video, Thurman (for some reason) becomes evasive when asked how late into camp he sparred for manny compared to Danny Garcia. You can see his demeanor change and his syntax changes as well. He completely sidesteps the question. He did the same thing on the previous question. Start watching around 3:30 or so through 5 mins.
I didn’t think Rivas looked good at all against Jennings (other than the ending of the fight). Jennings was up by 3 points on one judge’s card, down by only one point on another, and down by three on the third. Neither guy did much of anything. I think Whyte is going to bomb him out around round 6. That said, what’s up with the biceps of Rivas?? Good lord. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets popped by VADA in the future. If the wrestlers and boxers of the 80s and 90s taught us anything, it’s that you don’t look like an action figure by taking vitamins alone.
Time to retire. He looked gassed form the 7th round up. He dominated a close fight. He looked like he was ready to get KOd by Thurman but the liver shot saved Manny.
What you said. He barely threw any punches for a couple rounds there (though almost any other fighter his age after so many wars wouldn’t throw any for all 12 rounds). But yes it’s time to hang them up and go out on top.
Just another case of a fighter not TAKING the belt from the Champ.
Ugas did too much waiting and taunting. They basically were trading punch for punch. Porter lands and Ugas lands. No one really took control.
In most instances the Champ is going to keep the belt.
Absolutely. I agree. My stream was a little start-and-stop, but I didn’t feel like Porter was getting blown away like the commentators were making it out to be. I felt like it was a close fight, but that Porter deserved the nod.
Manny just moved up the p4p rankings what he did tonight was ridiculous
If manny was black he would already be proclaimed the GOAT but we know how the media works
Gross. You should be ashamed of yourself.
