What are your biggest takeaways from "Day of Reckoning"?

[Eff Pandas]

I believe you are another Canelo casual, still mad Bivol beat your boy. take it easy.

Respect on the Parker prediction yesterday, but usually you miss more than you hit like this time.

Bivol is just boring, nothing personal against him beyond that. He def fooked up Alvarez, but he was boring doing that too. He's the modern day Winky Wright (who did beat a guy I was a big fan of in Tito Trinidad), but I didn't dislike him for that W either, I disliked him for being boring.

Ok if you dislike him, but he still beats that old Canadian.

You are a strange boxing fan, I enjoy watching Bivol more that all heavyweights.

*Fa is shot.
*Sanchez needs to step up and face someone legit like Ruiz.
*Opetaia is a baaad mofo no one wants a piece of.
*Dubois doesnt have a chance against a decent boxer unless he low blows.
*Miller can take big shot after big shot.
*Makhmudov is a fraud.
*Kabayel is underrated.
*Bivol has no flaws except lacking power.
*Wilder needs to stay off the drugs and get the hell away from Malik.
*Parker is in the shape and form of his life.
*Wallin is pooh.
*Joshua is still a massive unknown who doesnt know who he is and scared to find out. Ayahuasca might give him an insight.

The proof once again you guys go fight from fight on a fighter not a career .

Joshua sucks , Wilders the best , Fury is the greatest of all time….

The next day , Joshua is a top 2 guy Fury was always Overatted ,and Wilder was a bum the entire time etc ……


Joshua in reality never went anywhere, Fury and Wilder needed each other to boost their profiles and this is the only constant the past 5 years .

Usyk was thrown in the mix and stands at the best position here with 2 Joshua wins while Fury gets embarrassed by a novice MMA brute and Wilder gets mocked yesterday .


That’s what I got out of it just a reminder how demented this forum is really . Lol

thats why i try to look at overall resume and not eye test nonsense. overall resume...wilder kinda sucks. overall resume...joshuas pretty good. wilder losing to fury didnt mean wilder was the 2nd best fighter and the only one that could beat wilder was fury. that was re-tardo logic. he still had a weak as hell resume. joshua losing to ruiz and usyk? he still had a very good resume and those guys are both really good fighters and he avenged his ruiz loss. i think its a floyd thing where because floyd cherry picked so strategically and never lost some people think well to be great you cant lose...its just not how it works. you are going to lose when you face the best. its inevitable. its about how many good fighters you beat in the process and wilder didnt beat very many at all. people are doing the same thing with tank. it never ends

We'll see. Beterbiev IS old as fook, but Bivol isn't immune to getting hit & Beterbiev is one of these types that can end a fight with one shot or melt you over several rds. If Beterbiev tags Bivol like The Nail did it'll be over.

Bivol gots skills obv & its impressive he's taken an amateur style & transitioned it into a more pro style so well, but I don't see what you or anyone would find enjoyable about his fights. And most ppl are riding with me on that. Bivol was getting roasted all yesterday on twitter for that Arthur performance.

[Spray_resistant]

Absolutely nothing new when you have some even odds matches 1. a prospect got exposed 2. a shop worn fighter with declining ability showed he has no business boxing anymore 3. top fighters have bad nights 4. don't be so fat

[chaosisme]

If Beterbiev vs Bivol happens & Beterbiev doesn't KO Bivol I'mma be rooting for the judges to rob Bivol on principle for his crimes against boxing fans with his boring ass fights.

It's never good for boxing when a fighter is robbed. Bivol isn't must-see TV for me but at least he doesn't clinch the entire fight. Bivol versus a random Euro guy type fights are usually going the distance, so it's a good time to run out and grab food/drinks before the main event.

Apparently Arslanbek broke his arm in that fight.

Bivol fights are a good time to run out and pick up a pizza.

13 months inactivity, but I was impressed that he still pitched a shutout against Arthur.

Business
Saudi Arabia is the face of boxing.
Promoters either cooperate or see ya later, go back to your echo chambers.
The best will be fighting the best again (and if you don't then you are just trying to follow a particular business model).
The American boxing folk will either have to join it or I wouldn't be surprised if they ignore it (and continue the bull**** A side B side, fight bums and pad records and then rob victories when they lose).
This is why the cherry pick + control judging guys like Canelo and PBC mob don't get invites..because the Saudis are boxing fans and basically say I wanna see You fight Him ..when it's a No, the Saudis say fk off, next .

Boxing

Opetaia is one serious mofo on a mission. He arrived at the first press conference not even knowing the opponent- he said he didn't care and wants to fight and anybody and not trying to play the games of cherry picking opponents

Frank Sanchez time to step up after a solid win

Filip Hrgovic biding his time as mandatory and fought a guy who just came for payday.

Kabayel- smart operator great showing of ring IQ. Makhmudov was very static and a little but bewilder at times. Great to see Kabayel using body punches and go hard on it. I did learn today that Makhmudov broke his hand in round 2 (it went downhill for him in 3 and 4).

Daniel Dubois: chin up to this guy showed real heart and grit in there against a guy 100lbs heavier... hopefully that can propel him to learn from that and how he could make it easier and less mistakes (leaning in with his head). Apparently his Dad gave him a yelling at end of round 6 and that it was gave him the second wind- so perhaps bring on Dad more often. Fight of the night.

Jarrell Miller - drug free he tried and gave his best so kudos for battling it out for 9.99 rounds.. he will be a challenge for everybody and just need to work out how to get his old stamina back without the drugs. Fight of the night.

Dimitry Bivol- is so good, such a special talent, but, turns out there are 1. **** commentators that think you need a KO to be good and 2. A lot of fans (maybe canelo nut huggers) speaking negative against him.

Joseph Parker - excellent focus and preparation and great team strategy..... though...

Wilder : just didn't look good from a stature perspective.. from the first second his movement and leg movement, coordination.. he kinda seemed mentally, just happy to be there.. and no push to win.. just weird and maybe he is just not there anymore, slightly delusional inclusing his corner. Reminds me a bit like Tony Ferguson in the UFC who even when losing thinks he's a winner and says hes back. . I love Wilder so much but I would love to see him retire before potentially getting seriously hurt.. only other chance would be to put him against bums so he can get a KO but once he goes near anybody in the top 5 or so, he could get seriously beat up (again).

Joshua: outstanding performance all round very focused and elements of feint, pull back, throw... effective in body punches from the get go and I started feeling sorry for Wallin after a while so a good corner stoppage. If Joshua can stay at that laser level focus of last night he would be a challenge for anyone.
