    pity we dont have complete cold hard facts thats something badly missing in a sport based on weight & noone has any real clue what the people weigh in the ring having given the sport a system that whoever sheds the most water can be heavier in the ring, go figure that
    knowing fight night weights would enhance the greatness of boxers like Floyd

      Floyd the iv user? Weight cutting doesn't matter when you can illegally pump yourself up with 10 times the amount normally used for severe dehydration. Its ok tue granted so it didnf happen or matter

        well then the rules need to be changed, how odd is it that you might have 5 pounds between a weight class and it would be frowned upon or deemed unfair if one guy fought the lower class guy yet you may have a guy or more who can put on up to 25 pounds after the weighin and thats deemed no problem, leading to 2 issues, a quite a lot heavier guy as an opponent and im sure the dangers of draining so much water and putting it back in so close to heavy exertion, doesnt make sense to me anyway

            hbo has the best production

            hbo would review the rules of scoring boxing round by round before every main and co-main

            Clean punching is king

            ring generalship effective aggression and defense all come after clean punching

            nowadays there are hardcore fans who don’t know the rules and think the other criterion are as valuable as clean punching

              that was a 57 pound weight cut. It'd be a bigger cut now

              That could be considered a duck if David does Saul rather than Bivol or Artur
              get real guys. Canelo didn`t want to fight Benavidez at 168, what makes you think he would fight him at 175?

                biggest money fight

                As much as it pains Saul

                no demand to see him rematch Bivol

                this prime Bivol 12-0 Saul

                    If TBud wins or Alvarez gets by on a close decision

                    they immediately rematch for big money
