I agree. I think grabbing and hugging takes strength that Haney lacks at 147. Norman will out muscle him in close. I look for Haney's legs to go too.
And Norman has the power to shake him up badly
two posts in, mostly about canelo
sounds about right for a large group of benavidez "fans" ( really just a bunch of canelo haters)
Lmfao
Now ,you funny too
My beliefs are Norman has the ring iq to catch Haney
From the fights I saw Norman in , he doesn’t seem to have heavy feet and he is rather young
Haney only knows to run once he feels Norman’s power
Jolene ain’t wrong and has the right mindset , let’s hope it trickles to Norman
Zuffa or the orgs are just a bunch of different thieves with different threads on
The grass is not greener on the other side
And Turki ain’t any better
Boots is a self-employed boxer. He doesn’t work for no one; Including Ortiz or Turki. They are not his boss.
He is his own boss and he fights whomever he pleases whenever he wants to and not before as he is demonstrating now.
Since Ennis says he is ready and DAZN has said they are ready. Then there is nothing there left to do but fight.
Unfortunately, for Ortiz; He wrote a check his ass can’t cash. Now DAZN is adamant about making that matchup ASAP.
So that Errol Spence Dream fight of his has sailed and there’s not a damn thing that Vergil could do about it. Not a damn thing!
Sounds like you’ve gone off your meds lol
Boots this Boots that and still hasn’t fought a live body after 30 fights but now he gets to say when and where ???
You are dreaming in technicolor
Lmfao at some of these posters who probably got their info into coc@ine off some f@ckin right wing publicity pamphlet
Let Peruvian flake fall where it may
SMFH
-----------------
I didn't know Spence was in that fight, that makes sense now. Spence is looking for a fight I suppose but Ortiz is going to DESTROY whatever is left of his eye. Spence can have a farewell fight with Thurman, I'd give him a shot. Or even Fundora.
Bu T there is no bigger fight than the two from Texas and I mean that financially
I don’t give Spence much chance but I would assume he’d forget quite easily about the defeat while counting his money
Look, here’s the deal. If Ortiz’ Isn’t interested in fighting Ennis then he should have kept his name out of his mouth.
Until switching to DAZN; Jaron has never called out Ortiz but on the other hand, Vergil has been calling out “Boots” for years.
So now since Ortiz’ hour has come he wants to stand down but he cannot do that. It’s time for him to either put up or shut up.
After Ennis has stepped to challenge him to his face. Then he will look like a coward to the boxing world if he doesn’t accept Jaron’s challenge now.
So you clearly you have forgotten , for wtv reason , that Boots has already refused a fight va Ortiz made by Turki
Ok got it
The alcoholic hasn't fought since Bud destroyed him and has never fought at 154. Going after Spence when Boots is in your face would be a very bad look for Ortiz.
I saw a video , five years ago , Ortiz saying how his dream fight is him and Spence , both being from Texas and guaranteed to sell out AT&T stadium and putting a sh/t load of money in his pockets
If he doesn’t fight Boots right afte4 and let’s not forget that Boots is the one who had stated that he wanted four bouts before facing someone of acceptable standards
So let Ortiz have his money fight and then face Boots
I think they were already negotiating with Spence hence why he was at the fight
Do I like it , no I don’t but been watching the sport for a long time and this sh/t seems to be the norm
——-
Which is why this fight has to happen next. I would have preferred if both of them had trinkets first. Unification carries weight despite boxing being down the doldrums.
I think the Spence fight was already in the works hence why Spence was at the fight
There would be to much money left on the table for these two not to fight
Both being from Texas, they will fill up AT@T stadium and their pockets
Remember Boots already refused a fight with Ortiz and that was a big bag of money from Turki
Fate Winslow: Winslow was sentenced to life in prison in 2008 for selling $20 worth of marijuana (two "dime bags") to an undercover officer while he was homeless. Due to three prior nonviolent convictions, he was subject to the state's stringent "four strikes" law. With the help of the Innocence Project New Orleans, his sentence was vacated, and he was released in December 2020 after serving 12 years.
Kevin O'Brien Allen: Allen was sentenced to life in prison in 2014 for selling $20 worth of marijuana to a confidential informant. This sentence was imposed because of his history of prior drug convictions. In 2022, the Louisiana Supreme Court vacated his life sentence as unconstitutionally excessive, but it was replaced by an appeals court with a 35-year sentence, which he is currently serving.
Bernard Noble: Noble was arrested in 2010 for possession of about two joints' worth of marijuana (2.8 grams) and sentenced to 13 ⅓ years of hard labor without parole under the habitual offender law. His case also drew national attention, and his sentence was later reduced, leading to his release on parole in April 2018 after serving seven years.
Derek Harris: An Army veteran who received a life sentence without parole for selling $30 worth of marijuana. His life sentence was reduced in August 2020, leading to his release.
Wow that’s f@ckin’ insane laws
And I used to get mad when cops would tell to drop my hash joint and step on it
What a swing that is
Turki Alalshikh gives the fighter what they want. Independently. So no more drama with this A-side B-side nonsense.
If the fighters want to fight and are ready for the challenge, they fight. If not, they get nothing and let their promoters work it out.
Simple.
As a result, we get to see REAL fighters fight. The fighters who just want the hype, make a lot less money fighting lesser opponents.
Ok then
Boots already refused a bag of money from Turki the real boxing fan
So far Team Ortiz are reluctant in giving him some booty and the question is why?
Tell you what
Boots took a fight before this vs the great Lima
Ortiz wants hid big money fight vs Spence , ( it’s his dream fight ) and one that will fill up the Arlington stadium and his pockets , both being from the Loan Star State
If Ortiz doesn’t fight him , I’ll call him out
I still don’t believe SlowEddie and Boots want this fight and they’ve pulled sh/t like this before
I’ll wait it out
Vergil has never once even attempted to fight for a real title. At least Boots has fought for a real title.
That’s the only knock on Ortiz
But he has fought the better opposition no matter how you look at it
Unless you really rank Stanionis that high
It’s a documentary on my life and career that was filmed by “NE Videos” in Hartford, Connecticut (Alonzo Beckett)
as far as Artur goes, my own personal preference is the third fight with Dmitriy. Nothing else makes sense in my mind.
Bivol owes it to Artur to say the least
How do live scoring and overtime rounds destroy boxing?
It sounds like you haven't thought it through.
Ok here we go !
You say bring the live scoring and ‘overtime’ rounds
Call me old school or whatever the fugh you want but I find it takes away from what the sport or what it was supposed to be
Just like soccer , with the reviews ; first it slows the fughin game up ( we all know soccer does not need that )
Their not going to Toronto like the NHL ( still pretty fast imo ) but it kills the game, players walking around talking to each other etc etc
Plus four human refs on the field ,imo they make that call and everyone ‘s gotta fughin live with it even if it’s a human error , it is what it is
Let’s get back on track , Boxing
Ok , fughnut Broner decides to wave his head for seven rounds , his fat fugh old man now gets wind of the scores
Tells retardo he needs at least a knockdown to secure all the head knodding , so as like the Emmanuel Taylor fight he goes and earns his money for two minutes and gets the knockdown thus securing or purchasing that W
Hold on , now to top it off , Mrs Adelaide Baird hands in another masterful Picasso and now securing the W
This open scoring is taking the ref slowly but surly out of the game
Next will be to review if a fighter’s glove glazed the floor oh fugh yeah it did
Oh wow let’s stop the fight , give the ten count plus judges gotta change the scoring 10/8 and it goes on and on and on
Boxing won’t be boxing anymore , just like soccer won’t be soccer anymore
Ok so the human eye got us a draw , live with it brother , you’ll get over it
They fughin get over it , they wipe their eyes with millions
Keep it real , what else are posters on this site gonna fughin do if theirs no controversy
Darkseid not sure if I got my point across but that’s it , I’m fughin done like toast , plus no one else rolling over here
A guy who keeps talking like an arsehole is a man who has nothing left
Nada anybody gonna watch him is just very ignorant
He is freakin done like yesterday's toast
