Impressed with how well he speaks. Read he dropped out of high school.
Wonder if he ever went back to complete? Sounds like he could make quite a future for himself outside of the ring.
No real interest in US for Burns. I would think most here in the US rate Burns as lousy, with an uninteresting style.
Broner would get no credit in the US for beating Burns and it would not be a big fight.
Did you see how easily he tossed Ortiz down that one time during the fight?(I see you mentioned that, but yes, it was surprising to see).
He is much stronger than one would think, considering his weight, and lack of girth.
" Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has just confirmed to Rick Reeno of Boxingscene.com and Lem Satterfield of ******.com that Erik Morales did indeed test positive for a banned substance.
CHECK BACK SOON AS MORE DETAILS BECOME AVAILABLE"
Hype.
LOL!
Why would ko crazy America want to see a big, slow, feather fisted Ricky Burns?
Well, I would enjoy seeing Broner knock him the F out. Then he can just go on back over there with the rest of the euro bums.
This is disappointing. I hate that fighters are always trying to get an unfair advantage over their opponents. AND how come so many of us were unaware that this fight was contracted at a catchweight of 163 lbs ? Lemieux should have kept his mouth shut about Canelo. Obviously they're both abusing the system.
I imagine the final weight wasn't contracted until very late, possibly even just a few days ago.
Hope not.
Can't stand Porter's rough house style.
Hopefully, Thurman can dispense with this guy in a fashion that leaves no need of a rematch.
And even if it's close. Who wants to see another ugly fight.
These Russians/Russian Block/whatever! Yeah, I know they're probably Ukrainians or whatever, but they all spew such "Putinesque" nonsense.
Just what have they agreed to?
You don't just agree to fight. You have to agree to all the terms of a fight. So are they saying they have sent their terms for the fight to Crawford's "court"? Suppose Crawford's court don't agree to those terms?
Crawford is the camp in position to set the terms.
So there is no agreement, yet!
Honestly I have no idea where this Crawford hype is coming from and why people have him in their top 10 P4P. I mean he's a good fighter, but nothing more. Not from what he's shown so far anyway.
Postol beats Crawford no problem. Easier than he beat Matthysse.
So why doesn't Roach just say they'll take the fight whatever rather than already saying "they'll have to pay us extra money to fight in Crawford's hometown...yada, yada.
Just take the fight whatever and be the man at 140(on the TR-GB side). Then he can make all the demands he wants.
Why are you printing stories on this irrelevant Blackwell fuk!
Just tell him to go back to the convalescent home. Maybe he'll recover some grey matter, eventually.
It got cancelled. It was a TruTV/HBO/Top Rank venture. Probably because of the Time Warner budget cuts. One person is investing in boxing and he's convinced Showtime to invest in boxing but he's hated by the boxing community.
Thank you.
Imagine Chavez trying to make 168 coming off an injury. He's been really struggling to get close to that weight for 2 or 3 years, even when healthy.
Don't think he can do it. He's gonna waste a lot of people's time.
Gonna be a circus.
Shaw says he won't let Broner do it, but then says he can do exactly that. There were reports that Escobedo made at least double what he signed for. Possibly even more. lol
