    This was the single biggest thing really for me. Really enjoyed the matchroom card (gashi running a-side)

      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.

        Good point but not sure he can be polished
        His game plan is to overwhelm his opponent, not sure he can really change that aspect of his game so leaning towards all the brushing up going out the window
        Not sure if I’m making myself understood
        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.

          No , you kind of stumped me
          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 weight

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?
            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.

              Really Eff , you were surprised with Garcia taking out Granados
              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 happened

                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.
                In my opinion, too. I don't see anything so compelling about Canelo-Jacobs. I already know who will win.

                  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.

                    Yep, kind of a weekend when the outcomes were predictable.
                    Allen/Browne was probably the one that seemed the most in the balance before hand.

                    I'm looking forward to Donaire/Tete and Estrada/Rungvisai next weekend though.

                      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.
