Honestly to our Western sensibilities I think he is racist. I think you'd be hard pressed to find Russians as sensitive about race relations as most Americans. So they make racially charged comments, because nobody in Russia gives a **** about it.
It's kind of funny how this thread went silent immediately following the Garcia loss. Still, I am all aboard the train. I'm nervous for him though Provodnikov could definitely take this.
No. Sort of....
He thought he could buy some time. The ref stopped it because AJ wouldn't fight (told him let's box but he wouldn't leave the corner) but I think if AJ knew he wasn't going to get away with waiting around, he would have gone out of his shield. Remember, where he's from he would have been able to get away with that.
Exactly this. It wasn't a quit per say but he wasn't mad it was called either.
I hope al haymon stops the rematch from taking place in the UK. Ruiz is the champ he doesn't have to fight in aj backyard
I'd be willing to bet he's contractually obligated to fight the rematch in England.
If you look at the comments everyone associated with the sport has said, not one has said Wilder won the fight. Most had Fury by 2 or 3 rounds.
Everyone will criticise that judge who took the pay day but nothing will happen about it.
So sad, but so true.
Everybody knows that **** was corrupt, but not a damn thing will be done about it. Boxing is pathetic sometimes.
I do think he fights much better when he feels he has something to prove. I don't think it's a coincidence that his two best performances were in fights he was the underdog.
I could see him beating Gvozdyk in a tough fight, but not Beterbiev. Ward's style is all wrong for him. He wouldn't be able to keep him at bay on the outside because the man's a tank, and on the inside he would take Ward's shots to fire back much harder ones. If Ward tried to do his usual rough housing Beterbiev would **** him up.
Yeah I vomit on myself every time he appears in the ring. They need to stop him from boxing because his style causes many to convulse and foam at the mouth. He's a danger to society.
LMAO ate huge shots including the kill shot that made his body go limp

almost fell out the ring with ropes holding him up with his eyes closed.

Took a long time to get him up and he had to be taken to the hospital. Yeah he just acting SMH
It was a joke my man. No actor is that good.
Thurman for sure. I think Crawford destroys Mikey. Thurman would be a much better fight, but I still think Crawford wins convincingly. I suspect the only real challenge for Crawford at 147 would be Spence.
I would love it. I fully believe Crawford would win, but there is no reason for Floyd to take that fight. He should just hang them up for good after number 50.
I don't think so. He's good, but he doesn't seem special to me. I feel like a guy that would rough him up and show him no respect could really have their way with him.
porter beat broner
and :dunno:
and who did he ever destroy ?!?!?!
Malignagi :hail:
Seriously though, I take Garcia in this fight. I hope it happens, I think the style match up is favorable to Garcia.
No surprise that he stopped posting here. People can get pretty vitriolic round these parts. If I was a known boxer i would post anonymously, no need to draw the attention of mouthbreathers who live to bash people.
As much of a Matthysse fan as I am, I don't see but the slimmest of possibilities for him to win. He can't outbox Mayweather, and he can't use a size advantage like Maidana did. He would have a puncher's chance, but so have many others who failed. i do think Matthysse can take Pacquiao, and I hope that fight materializes before Pac retires.
