Turki at work

[TintaBoricua]

even better for bud who was a 135 champ as well

Aw damn. I forgot his early bits. Dammit dammit dammit

Jesus…the balls on Crawford. I hope that Spence performance isn’t one of those occasions where a fighter looks so good that the media circuit, influx of fame, and all the accolades is such a big avalanche that the fighter’s perception gets skewed.

Crawford doesn’t look like the type of guy that reads his own press nor cares how much praise he gets about the media, but you never know.

Andy Ruiz had the biggest victory lap post-Joshua…and then got outboxed.

George Kambosos beat Teofimo Lopez…next fight got outboxed.

Devin Haney looked immaculate against Prograis before electing to press forward with an absolute mess of an entanglement with Ryan Garcia.

I wanna’ be wrong but I keep thinking Crawford-Madrimov will look like Cotto-Mosley/Cotto-Clottey.

Close, competitive. Not enthralling, not boring. Just somewhere in between…

Especially after what I saw in the Gvodzyk fight

Yeah, he couldn't really hurt Gvozdyk, and got quite winded mid-way.

I found this most odd

elite fighters aren’t supposed to gas especially the Mexican pressure brawler

I’ve shaken David’s hand irl. He’s slim offline and doesn’t have the muscle bound physique you’d expect to gas

Bud would get no credit. It'd be same as when Mayweather fought Canelo. Sure, the guy might be great one day, but at the moment, it means nill. Nevermind the fact you wasted all this time and money on a training camp to make maybe $5 million when 30 is just up the road WITH the belts, glory, and lifelong legacy to boot (pun intended)

Mayweather got credit...just no from the Canelo fans for obvious reasons

Crawford vs Boots and Canelo vs Benavidez is like Mayweather vs Canelo (the example you gave) and De La Hoya vs Vargas. The fact people still talk about those to fights until this day proves those fights mattered and were impactful because it was the seasoned vet destroying the dangerous young guy that was trying to take the crown.

[NC Uppercut]

Gotta love the fact he’s named Turki! No disrespect meant, but it is hilarious bc most of these fighters are turkeys

[GBBOXING12]

Right now, his goal is getting the top fighters (from HW down) to sign exclusively and co-promotionally with him. In the next 2-3 years, the major promotional outlets will be barren and he can successfully launch the league. If that happens, he's here to stay

The master plan huh?

We will see how it plays out.

[Roadblock]

If Bud beats Madrimov impressively, the Canelo fight will be a spectacle that will attract many casuals as well as those who enjoy boxing; it's a money fight that the media will be all over like a rash.

Lol they're nothing alike. Canelo already had a string of solid wins by the time he fought Mayweather (Baldomir, Hatton, Cintron, Mosley, Lopez, Trout) and a large enough following to make Mayweather-Canelo generate more revenue than even Mayweather's fight with Oscar. It's crazy to think, but Canelo was already a star at 23

Boots has nothing but the eye test. Barely. The fight never happens because it makes sense for no one but him

We're seeing it, GB!

How many wins Boots has strong together doesn't mean much. The situation is still basically the same....he is the young guy everyone is raving about. That is still a legacy builder, and Bus isn't getting any younger. He needs to strike while he can because its not like his has a lot of high profile names on his resume either.
