A weekend of boxing that proved nothing...

This.
Allen stole the show this weekend. He's still pretty garbage, but he showed his less garbage than a ex-sorta kinda title holder in Browne.
And honestly I was surprised Danny stopped Adrian.
Bud & the rest did more or less as expected doe. But thats every week anyway so don't get the need to make a thread about this weekend like it wasn't just like the week before or the week before that & so on.
Biggest problem with boxing is still not enough evenly matched fights happen. Nothing new this week.Comment

Oh I get you, Sawing how it played out vs Garcia, Granados wasnt gonna win that fight no matter what, he had nothing to keep garcia off him.
Im saying just for future progression, granados should get a new trainer and polish up some bit.
A good point by lenox last night was, granados is still fresh he just cant take the power it shocks his system, granados pop'd up both time fresha nd ready like nothing it was just the punches he ate flush.Comment

No , you kind of stumped meOh I get you, Sawing how it played out vs Garcia, Granados wasnt gonna win that fight no matter what, he had nothing to keep garcia off him.

Bottom line though is Granados is what he is
Maybe coming down in weight could help a little but still needs to fight with that kind of rushing style he has
He’ll be able to take the power better at a lower weightComment

Dave Allen took out Browne with a quality left body hook on the short rib. Allen does some good things; he adds power to his right downward arcing hook punch with a setup. While walking forward in southpaw, he'll throw a left uppercut and rotate the hips to ortho - when he's set, his right hand is mid flight 50% of the distance to the target. smashes down with it hard.Crawford gets a TKO win over a shot Khan, who basically quit after a low blow. Bud was clearly on his way to a stoppage win at some point, but that was to be expected. What’s next for Bud? Maybe a career high payday across the pond to fight Brook, providing Brook doesn’t mind getting his eye socket broken again. Without a PBC opponent who is next?
Garcia did what he was supposed to do in this “tune up” fight. Stopped an out-gunned gatekeeper with six losses and two draws coming in. Insists “he’s baaaack”, but looking sharp against Granados told us nothing. What’s next for Danny? Possible rematches with either Thurman or Porter, both winnable fights for him given how close they were. Or another opportunity to fight PAC providing he doesn’t turn it down again.
López did what he was supposed to do as well, defeat another no-hoper to pad that record and bring him closer to what he hopes is a Loma payday. By the looks of it, he clearly isn’t ready, so for now it appears he is just using Loma’s name to elevate his social media presence and market himself.
Anyone see something different?Comment

Really Eff , you were surprised with Garcia taking out GranadosThis.

I thought Adrian was tailor made for him
I just thought that , Granados being pretty tough , would get taken out in the championship rounds
Or Danny would get him out real early which almost happenedComment

In my opinion, too. I don't see anything so compelling about Canelo-Jacobs. I already know who will win.Sor vs Estrada II is better than Canelo vs Jacobs, in my opinion.
Estrada and Sor are better fighter than Jacobs, that is a very good fighter but not better than Sor or Estrada.
Estrada looked in a very good shape this time, he thrown 1000 punches against Orucuta, people forgot that Estrada had multiple problems with surgeries in the last year.
Will be a great fight, but people is not putting attention on them.Comment

I buy a lot of ppvs. I didn't buy Crawford/Khan or Garcia/Spence, money grab fights that don't do anything for the sport. Either fight they were on a collision course, just two popular fighters facing each other.
Plus the undercards have been trash. More like a showcase than a decent match up. Now there are so many formats that you have to pay to watch that it is starting to add up.
This is the formula that can bring down the sport.Comment

Granados has never been stopped so yea I was surprised.
And ever mark against him on his record is some degree of disputable except the Porter L iirc. Don't get me wrong I didn't see Granados as being much of a live dog vs Danny or anything like that, but I thought he'd go the distance & give a decent account of himself.Comment
