Props to two great warriors in the ring last night. One did what they said they would, which is rare, the other, not so Much. Both, however, showed tremendous heart and courage. With that being said there is only one real loser last night ...the jab. Why isn't it being counted?!?! Is there some conspiracy against the jab? Do they find it worthless and Are trying to get rid of the jab like the American penny or the field goal extra point in American football?... Remember guys it is a scoring punch
Or it use to be. RIP jab. You won't be forgotten
This casual is referring to the Olympics. He must have just picked up a boxing for dummies book. This was a world title fight, a pro fight with no headgear. This was not an Olympic fight good sir.
I can't recall another athlete in any sport screwing something up so bad for himself. The idiot deserves it, now go make another commercial you POS. I can't remember a time I rooted for a fight not to happen. This
Is the beginning of the end for the fake fighter, with no fan base, who spent his entire career in one division refusing to take on numerous challengers. Since he lost the IBF my new offer would be 70/30 and they can fawq off to caca-Kastan if they don't like it.
Bunch of rookies! Let me tell you guys what's really going on.
They can't agree and are publicly trying to make it appear as if Wilder is all set and ready to go. In reality, he's agreed to the deal that makes most sense to him and letting everyone know that he's accepted his deal without letting anyone know that they've tried to skew things in their favor.
I guess that's what happens when you fight a 20th ranked fighter as a world champion. Next dead body will be announced. His manager said they're looking at September which means another underwhelming fighter.
Ramirez won the title from Imam who is a harder puncher and has better defense than Taylor. If Ramirez landed the punches on Taylor that Postol did it would have been over. Ramirez quicker, stronger and tougher than Postol and Taylor barely won.
Taylor has been built up quickly because he in the UK and it offers another audience for TV more money if you can see fight in multiple countries...Taylor is good he will get better, but doenst have the power of defense to March up with Ramirez who is best body puncher in boxing today
Best body puncher in boxing? Better than Spence and Canelo? Ok you're officially a clown and officially someone from Ramirez's team or a groupie from Fresno. This is a site for knowledgeable boxing fans, not groupies
What a joke GGG'S team is!! Asking for a 50/50 split is pathetic. Canelo has 200% cleared his name and they're trying to extort him. They chased canelo like an obsessive teenager and now biting the hand that feeds them. I hope that canelo never fights GGG again and GGG goes on to fight the usual nobody for a very small fraction he would of got from fighting canelo. I hope canelo crushes this diva on the negotiation table! Mr 75k ppv buys asking for more money 😂😂
Correct. Pretty soon there will be no reason for Canelo to stay with GBP, which means pretty soon, there won't be a GBP. Good riddance.
You actually make an interesting point. GBP has no TV deal.
Lol was almost a sell out...and no free tickets every single ticket is paid for not to mention the high dollar amount charged for floor sets, VIP boxes ect....get some facts man.
There's a reason why Top Rank calls Savemart center their favorite venue, they make more on a Ramirez fight then just about any other. Ramirez has more endorsements and sponsors then any fighter in the world.
Oh gosh, you again! It's obvious you're a Fresno Homer. The fight was no where near sold out. There was TONS of seats available in every section leading up to the day off the fight. What "facts" are you referring to? Your imagination?
Floor seats where in the $100 range, that's "high dollar" for you? You've been called out numerous times in her for being a Homer. Just stop with your make-believe fairy tales
Damage control for what? Prograis didn't want to wait one more fight for his title **** so he entered the tournament instead...since Prograis doesn't that that much of a fan base the fight needed to be built, but he will make more money in tournament. If he really wanted the title **** he could of had it before end of the year.
He's the mandatory why would he wait one more fight? That tournament has more to offer than a fight with Ramirez. And you sound silly talking about fan bases. Since when did that matter? Floyd has everyone thinking they can do what Floyd did. Ramirez doesn't have much of a fan base either. I guess you missed when he got put on the undercard for his title shot and less than 5,000 people showed up and most of them where there for the Irish kid. GTFOH acting like Ramirez is this Superstar. He's yet to headline a major show, yet to headline on HBO or showtime. Please get lost, stop believing the crap his manager spills on Instagram
Broner and victim do not belong in the same sentence.
He is who he is...probably his own worse enemy.
I am just not one to judge another man.
I cannot but think out aloud about the coincidence of all of these events with a BIG check around the corner.
If you had any brains and experience you would know it's not a coincidence. The idiot stiffs people and they're doing what they can to get from broner, what is legally owed to them. I hope they garnish all good wages. I hope more people come out and Sue him, so they get the money broner promised them. Her literally stole a million dollars worth of jewellery and your upset the jeweler is taking legal action against him? Were you raised by idiots?
Ticket sales show that no one cares about this fight. You can pick your seat in the arena for this fight. Ramirez seems like a good guy, but it's obvious TR doesn't have a lot of faith in the guy.
This is great! GGG has pinned himself in a corner with his stupid mouth. That's what he gets for making idiotic accusations, then bring proved wrong! Now open your mouth and take this pile of crap and eat it. Personally, canelo should NEVER give GGG a rematch. All that does is give GGG an opportunity to make the type of money he could only dream of without canelo.
You're bringing up numbers from a fight Golovkin had 4 years ago, that is pathetic, GGG does 500k against anyone these days and you know it. Canelo can't sell s*** without GGG in the other corner.
Idiot, if so then why didn't GGG keep the ppv on May 5th??
Why did they move if from Vegas to a small outdoor arena in so. Cal?
Why did they have to comp tickets just to get the stadium filled to 5k attendees?
You are the definition of a clown
Translation= Please slug and not show movement, so we can win. Sanchez sounds like he cant coach. I've never heard a trainer beg the opposition to not box. This is pathetic. Just stick to the insults about him cheating!
I was going to say the same thing, but so many people have already started something similar I'll just quote you.
Now we know why GGG is a one demensional fighter, his coach can't teach him anything else.
You are an idiot if you think so...
how is he an idiot for Thinking Ramirez can't stop Imam? Imam struggles with pressure and has already been stopped by someone with less power and less pressure skill than Ramirez. Ramirez completely annihilated Mike Reed who is a good slick fighter. If a slick boxer like Reed couldn't handle Ramirez's pressure how will Imam? Imam's only real shot is to catch ramirez flush with a hard shot that puts Ramirez out.
for a rookie of the forum don't go around calling people idiots or clowns you're a nobody on here son show some respect.
I've been here before you even one this site existed, believe that!
More importantly, what kind of loser cares about his "status" on an online boxing forum with a bunch of strangers? GTFOH and go outside and meet people
Honest Abel, there's nothing wrong with what he said here. Canelo's trainers ARE butchers, that's why the whole "Mexican beef" excuse just sounds like total BS. As a neutral observer here, from dubious scorecards to "Mexican beef", the whole Canelo team seems tainted.
Except all you idiots conveniently leave out that the levels of corn very miniscule and would do nothing to add a fighter. Levels consistent with meat contamination.
You idiots also conveniently avoid about talking about the hair follicle test that confirmed the meat contamination.
You idiots avoid the vada enrollment.
Yet all people see on this board are a bunch of users name calling like elementary kids. 10-12 years ago this board was filled with real boxing talk from knowledgable boxing heads. Looks this those guys matured away from online message boards and now it's filled with a bunch of trash millennials attempting to discuss boxing
Im getting sick of reading these articles telling the same thing over and over again like we all dont know what the situation between the two are.
If were lucky we might get one sentance of new information.
I was thinking the exact same thing! It's pretty pathetic, they must be slow for content. They explain everything as if the people in these boards don't already know what happened.
Article also claims people were behind GGG during the negotiations which means the author doesn't bother to read the boards. Very few people thought GGG deserved 50/50.
Might be one of the worst boxing articles of my time
Prograis team chose not to participate in purse bid...Prograis would have gotten the fight before end of the year but chose tournament instead, so now he has to wait
That's false. Arum admitted and is on record stating they didn't want the fight. Regis made the right move and everything a tournament that does a lot more for his career than a fight with Ramirez
The boxing world is shunning GGG for his disgusting tirade of false accusations towards canelo which resulted in the biggest fight of the year in the summer being cancelled. He deserves it, screw him, if he never fights again no one would even notice. In fact, based on ratings, no one noticed when he fights now anyways. Bye Felicia
Like the first fight he ran and lost 8 rounds to 4? Literally no one had Canelo legitimately even getting a draw in that fight.
I like how these idiots always reference to Canelo "running" claiming Triple G won but yet they can never give examples of the rounds he won and why he won them. Triple G Hardly threw any punches and hardly landed anything of significance. The fight was an embarrassment for Triple G the Almighty -monster who looked like an amateur who couldn't cut off the ring and was punching air all fight.
Here we go again with biased commentators, I thought we got rid of them when HBO was closed for business, now they run over to ESPN, TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!
You can’t avoid them! They missed so many good moments for Zepeda, it really takes away from the fight
What!! This kid just drew almost 14,000 in his hometown of Fresno, CA. Why the hell wouldn't he fight for the title there? Imam is from NY. It's a home fight for him. This makes no sense for Ramirez.
It's pretty known and has been said from people in that area that very few people actually pay to go to the Ramirez fight. The tickets are handed out by the thousands and you can find them all over town at grocery stores and restaurants. So it's hard to really tell how much of a real draw he is since no one is really paying to go watch him.
with that being said, there's a lot of free things to do on a saturday night and 13k people dont flock somewhere even if it's free unless it's of interest to people.
I see this as a very good fight. Imam is long and lanky and much bigger than Ramirez. Ramirez rely's on pressure so it'll be interesting to see if he can get inside on Imam and do some damage and it will be interesting to see if Imam can keep Jose away with his reach. Both fighters come forward and fight. Imam has real power where ramirez is mostly a volume puncher. It's a pick em fight for me.
It seems Prograis doesn't understand how mandatories work. He had no choice but to fight you next the WBC even came out after his fight and said so. Just keep it real and say you joined the tournament for better paydays. This is why I never took this guy serious about wanting to fight Crawford. Had a title fight next and willingly chose not to take it.
You need to do some more research! Go look up who cancelled the purse bid on the fight. Ramirez team wanted nothing to do with this fight. How is that hard to believe?
Ramirez fought guys with much better records coming up then most these other guys. Top Rank has tried to make several fights with guys with multi world titles and they didn't want to fight Ramirez. You have to get some info before making these statements.
Crawford still hasn't fought a true elite fighter since moving up to 140 and he's called P4P
Here we go again. Someone from Fresno or Jose's can trying to do some damage control. Boxing fans aren't stupid, we know a great fighter when we see one. JCCJR all over again!
Let's just call it what it is. Ramirez is a fighter on the wrong side of 25 and in his physical peak. He'd been a pro for 6/7 years and this is where he is at. He's an average fighter who they manipulated to become a champion. They don't want him exposed by putting in the ring with as real that. Just call it for what it is and move on from the guy
