[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sometimes we get good fights, other times strong performances. Often, it’s a little of both. Fight fans got one, the other, and the in-between on Saturday.

Rated #6 in a division where he just had his first fight against a guy who was also fighting in his first fight in the division? He should have to defeat a top welterweight to be ranked as one.

Also, he was ranked #1 or 2 (not sure) by the WBC long before Saturday's bout.

I ignore the WBC where possible. As to having to fight a top Welter...who? There are guys like Brook and Jones universally rated top ten without a win as good as Maidana yet. It's the nature of top tens in 17 weight classes where guys play for mandos often instead of single slots. he's a former unified titlist from one class down who just shut out a genuine top ten guy at 40. That's enough in a shallow pool to come in pretty well IMO.

excellent write up once again. cant find much i disagree with, but man i would love to see that uchiyama/broner fight. but u are probably correct in pointing out it probably wont happen.

ROLDIE! best writer on boxingscene! My boy Broner making STRAIGHT A's on the post-fight card! If Uchiyama don't want it, ANYBODY CAN GET IT. . . ANYBODY! EVEN YOU ROLDIE! I'm honestly hoping he go ahead and moves up to 135 next. . . One more fight tops at 130, then it's time to move up.

Alexander appears to have found new life at 147, definitely benefiting from the move up. . . number 6 seems about right. . . I'd like to see him against Khan after he beats Peterson (or if he loses by SLIM chance). Cause it was a fight that should have been made at 140, and it will be Khan's first fight at 147, and only Alexander's second. . Excellent fight for Khan to enter the division.

I had the Huck/Povetkin fight a draw. Huck is a legit contender at HW against anybody not named Klitschko. . .

watching broner beat the truck out of perez for the second time as we speak


goddamn that guy is fast
goddamn. he beat the brakes off of perez with combinations. he led with the hook a lot more than i remembered. he's a fast and powerful kid. cannot wait for his next fight


and he's a finisher. he gets a guy hurt and he lets his hands go.

There's a reason he reminds some of Floyd. Floyd looked a lot like this at this stage at 30.
