    PICK EM CREW: next weekend, the lone fight I see worthy of inclusion is Joseph Diaz Jr vs Mercito Gesta... I would not include Ramirez vs Rosado, but... you decide

    Also, what's this new Thursday trend for fights in Canada?

    We could do without Pascal vs Eifert, but the subsequent Thursday there's Mbilli vs Gongora, which is a good fight.​

      surely no Ramirez vs Rosado - Gabe has no business at 168 let alone 175 - he's gonna have health issues if he keeps taking beatings

        In hindsight, knocking Melikuziev out was bad for Rosado. That illusion just delayed the inevitable descent towards humanpunchingbagness.

          More than not considering Tszyu's potential, power and, just in case of need, home advantage, I still wonder how so many people didn't take into account Harrison's well-proven fragility.
          I thought Harrison is shot to chits
          That’s just me though
          But I also believe that Tim has really good power which saves him for absorbing all those shots
          Harrison was jabbing him to death until Tim proved his power over the top with the overhand right
          Harrison began hesitating and overthinking if or when to throw because of the power coming back at him
          Charlo , imo , will also hesitate once he feels Tim’s power unless he can walk through it
          Tim would be wise to tighten up his defensive part of his game

            They barely did it. They were behind five points with a minute to go in the fourth. They tied it and sent it to OT and won by 9 point so the spread was covered.

              Tim's best asset is that he's strong-minded. That could be the deciding factor against Charlo, besides those right-hand kicks.

                  That's not mine, it's a variation on Mike Tyson post-Ruddock... "he kicks like a fùcking mule", remember that line?

                      Las Vegas is now UTC-7 and I am still UTC-5, so I will get my boxing on 1 hour earlier.
