A weekend of boxing that proved nothing...

[GhostofDempsey]

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.

Neither Crawford or Garcia had an opponent to test them enough that it sepeataged anyone from the pack at 147. I still have Spence and Crawford tied at top of the heap, but I’m not convinced Danny would do any better in rematches with Thurman or Porter, or that he could even beat a 40 year old PAC.

Commentary is getting worse too. Listening to Goosen and Lewis shining on the house fighters like good company men was cringe-worthy. Ward is too biased and inconsistent with his analysis.

Stop talking about those sh.itty fights

Next week is Sor vs Estrada II

Well said compa.

F.uck, compa, i can't wait, these little men always give us great fights with a lot of heart, skills and talent

They deserve more attention and money.

Andy Ruiz looks like a match for anyone not named Joshua, Wilder or Fury and I’m not totally sure of two of those.

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.

Your right , the guy was never knocked out
Just found he would be a bad matchup with Garcia
I just kept imagining Granados coming in and Garcia teeing off on him , figuring with his power he could do damage
I thought early ko or late , but always Garcia tagging him

too many mismatches because promoters and fighters know they can still make bank with these low risk fights for their stars, they'll milk it to the end if they can. Real boxing fans should be excited for this upcoming week, the rematch between Sor Rungvisai and Gallo Estrada should be another FOTY candidate!

I learned long time ago not to listen to the commentators. It is just professional cheerleading.

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?

Absolutely meaningless fights, just as I knew they would be. Crawford-Khan went exactly how I thought it would other than Khan not looking at stars at the end of the fight.

Another trash win for Crawford. It's becoming his signature.

And lol @ how many times the ESPN crew called Crawford P4P #1 when he is not even P4P#1 in the ESPN rankings!

[just the facts]

Once Gennady is gone, this sport will die. And I will retire from it and this forum along with gennady.

We both had great careers, shared our primes together pretty much, I have cemented my legacy in BoxingScene but I am nearing the end of my prime like Gennady. Once Im gone this forum dies too.

Only a total douche bag (like you) would consider time spent on an obscure boxing message board as a lifetime achievement. Is your life really this pathetic?
