Maidana should really stay retired. He had a decent career. I guess he blew his money.
I can't see him being anything like he use to be. He was a beast in his prime but he's been looking like a hw for a while now losing the weight will take some serious training..
Canelo deserves more credit. I think he edges out most of the fights that have been close. I am no fan of Canelo but he has fought everyone. He isn't scared of a challenge, he always shows up to fight.
Broner is a very good fighter. He just never shines. Maybe he will not be taking to seriously from now. He would need to at least build up some good wins until another blockbuster fight.
The decision stunk the place out. It was similar to the Bradley decision. Horn never really landed anything big, he was using his size to bully Pac and rough him up.
Feel bad for Pac. He's had a host of ****ty decisions against him.
Pac defiantly isn't the same fighter he once was..
Same here. I have always followed the UFC but I am a huge boxing fan, however since lockdown I have really enjoyed the fights put on display.
It is a shame Boxing takes so long to put on the best match ups out there. I hope one day things will change for the good.
If anyone has followed the career of povetkin you would not write him off.
Some of his KOs are absolutely ruthless through the years. Povetkin has real raw power.
Yeah when you look at his resume its stacked with names. Probably one of the best resumes win or lose of all time. His record is similar De La Hoya. He beat some seriously dangerous opponents in style and was never afraid to take on the best.
Top 5 HW of all time in my opinion. Let's not forget he was a monster at CW and beat the snot out of the division.
that list is ridiculous . Holy fought everyone !!!!
Fighting tough opposition for so long and remaining at the top for so long is incredible thinking about it. Holyfield was competitive throughout his whole career and fighting machines. Probably one of the most durable boxers to ever do it. Holyfield is probably the toughest to ever compete in the ring.
Floyd is one the best in the game when it comes to dirty tactics, but its part of the sport. Some are just better than others and use these skills to their advantage. Its about fighting smart and clever.
He was probably one of the most exciting fighters you would see. He had it all and he would always push for the knockout. He had insane reflexes and power. He was a fantastic fighter but I wouldn't say he was PAC level. Barrera really taught him lesson and the sweet science of boxing. Was a shame he gave it up after that.
Haney took a beating. Garcia hasn't barely a mark on him. Haney didn't really land anything remotely significant.
This fight was fairly one sided after the 7'th round. Garcia dominated him and Haney had no answers for the speed and power.
Styles makes fights'
But Fury also the type of guy to show up for his big fights. When has he not?
He may show up but he's been dossing around fighting average opposition. This is his first real fight since Wilder or maybe Whyte, well over two years ago now.
Moving up to stiff competition like Usyk is quite a big step for Fury. I think he'll be in for a shock when he realizes he is in an actual fight again after so long, I do wonder how he'll react when fighting somebody like Usyk that can really box. He hasn't fought anybody like it in years mate.
It's true.
I think Usyk will win and I'm not best pleased with Fury for his behaviour in the last few years.
But the support for Usyk is becoming sycophantic, I've never heard such an amount of superstitious mumbo jumbo than when people talk about him.
I hope fury wins at this stage just to put an end to the nonsense all these Johnny come lately Usyk fans are spouting.
Usyk's got the full support of the casuals I think that's why it's so annoying.
An end to what nonsense? All the talk and insults has been pretty much from the Fury's from day one.. Many Fury fans flocked after growing tired of all the bollocks over the years and turning boxing into a circus hence why Usyk has grow tremendously in popularity.
Usyk is quiet man for most part and a seasoned pro, very likeable. Not giving it the big I am, fans are TIRED of it.
Maybe the civil unrest in the Ukraine clouded your judgment? Nash out
These are the exact excuses everybody expected from fans and Fury's. but but robbery bro' lol
im 27 years old, I have been watching boxing since I was 14. I’ve been to numerous live events and I bet if I said my name and how I look, some of you would recognize me!
robberies happen in boxing all the time, I witnessed the Ward/Kovalev 1 fight in person and I saw Kovalev get robbed in person. I saw Tim Bradley rob Pac-Man. Im going to continue to watch boxing and go to live events, despite its numerous flaws.
However, today was a massive disgrace. Outside of the knockdown, I had fury winning this fight. Usyk lost, nothing will change my mind. Similar to how Wilder lost to Fury in there first fight, but a knockdown in round 12 somehow gave Wilder a draw. Unfortunately, that’s boxing for you. Just like life it’s full of bull****.
With the situation in Ukraine and an American judge scoring, this makes sense. I am American and this country is essentially at this point a Ukrainian satellite state. Disgraceful day in boxing, but I will hold my head up high and still say Fury won, regardless of the fake outcome.
Usyk dominated the latter half, you've got to be joking surely. I'm 35 and been watching boxing for twenty years.
It was a clinic by Usyk late on in the fight and Fury was fighting on the backfoot, Usyk controlled most of the ring leadership and landed the bigger, crisp shots. I believe the tactics of Fury were all wrong, he was boxing like it was a chess match and didn't use his physical attributes to his advantage.
Great fight but you sound sour mate.
Usyk is seasoned pro and takes no short cuts.
Fury is a part time athlete/boxer.
It'll probably be the difference on the night.
Don't be surprised of a clinic by Usyk. Fury will gas in the latter half.
