Even when you try to tie up Matias, he sticks his elbow in your throat. He's started quicker and throwing more punches, really making Puello work hard.
They have not stopped talking about Shakur throughout the whole fight, total bias. Wouldn't be surprised if they give Berlanga the same treatment.
Lampley is way off tonight if he thinks Shakur is walking though the fight.
Horrible human judges. Boxing needs AI and get rid of these horrible people.
Interesting point if they can get a realistic 360 view. It may turn out to be more controversial that human Judges if it sees more that what we see Live and on TV.
No way Zepeda will get the decision in New York. Shakur is getting outworked but everybody is talking about him like he's winning. Mannix has Shakur ahead.lol
A lot of the new American boxers are obnoxious loudmouths and that turns off a lot of people. Get rid of the staredowns and insults/fights at weigh ins.
A fighter like Shakur Stevenson has a lot of talent but is a creep, the recent Belanga fight is another example and boxers like Caleb Plant are painful to listen to.
Also the sport, with streaming media is international now more than ever and the concept of a Friday Night Fights and/or Tuesday Night Fights that were entertaining captured a lot of attention.
Will Dana White produce a feeder system into Boxing like his Ultimate Fighter series? Will it bring more money (incentive) to undercard boxers or will it turn into a dictatorship?
Boxing needs to have imports, ie: Cuban and Russian boxers to fatten the gene pool, look at Beterbiev,Usyk and Lomachenko, Promoters can build them up into stars, then think how many Crawfords there are in America.
PED's are another subject to sort out, can they wipe it out? is that possible? Correct me if I'm wrong but when the UFC cracked down on PED's wasn't that around the same time McGregor and Rousey's career drop off?
What is the American Amateur system like these days?
Traditionally a lot of Pro Champs have come through that system and a lot of those fighters fought in International competitions representing America, is that right?
Can that be improved? State or federal funding or private investing? What, in this day and age would be more likely?
As we have seen with the rise of Lomachenko and Usyk, there are many styles in Boxing and when you look at the Amateur career of Ray Leonard, Pernell Whitaker, Evander Holyfield, Mark Breland just to name a few, they were world class Amateur boxers before they turned Pro.
As we saw with the rise of Anthony Joshua in Great Britain and the way it lifted Pro Boxing over there to getting up to 90,000 people at the venue and millions watching all over the world, sometimes it just takes that one fighter with the right charisma to come along.
Shumenov is not a TV friendly fighter.
Salas is a great Trainer but Shumenov is not much to watch.
BJ has cement shoes on and his feet are way to wide to cut Shumenov down.
and the worst team of commentators on TV. ray Leonard is way off.
