[Blue54]

1 Fury got his 2nd Rnd tko like he was suppost to

2 Sullivan Barrera is no longer elite got beat tf up by Jesse Hart

3 Warrington retained his title in a fight which i scored a draw but Galahad did fight very dirty

4 Glowski Bredis was very entertaining lol but Byrd should suspendid or something

5 Dorticis just won ko of the year so far in imo and giveing Tabiti his first L.

When did sullivan become elite i musta missed that?

Fights weren't bad nothing serious.

Fury looked elite and beat someone who is nowhere near elite.

Barrera is a name on a resume now. Hart showed that he isn’t good to enough to do what the best at 175 have been doing to Barrera. He was in a fight and if he was really going to compete for a title, he would have won every round.

I think the warrington-Galad fight showed that entire division is full of pretenders. I remember a time where I thought Carl Frampton was possibly a top 10 p4p guy. Then I thought highly of Santa Cruz for winning that rematch. Then I thought highly of Warrington for beating Frampton. Now I’m supposed to think highly of Galad for fighting an even fight? Nope, I’m done. None of them are as good as I thought. I also don’t believe in Valdez at all would only believe in Gary Russell if he fought more.

I thought the cruiserweight fights highlighted how bad the division is. You have an undefeated contender fighting for a title in Tabiti and he’s ducking and grabbing the whole fight because he can’t exchange. And that’s against with a guy who isn’t even that good of a boxer.

Then you have Glowacki who has this impressive record and is supposed to be highly regarded he gets devastated in the first exchange of the fight.

It’s unfortunate but it seems like the cruiserweights are just crappy heavyweights who can make a 200 pound weight limit.

Tell you what I did learn this weekend, I'm not that keen on cheese and onion crisps anymore.

[REDEEMER]

Glad they are out of the way but any boxing is better then no boxing. Cant wait for the Dubois vs Gorman fight and November cant come soon enough to see a rematch worth watching with Joshua vs Ruiz ,Wilder vs Ortiz could be a nail biter to if Ortiz at a very old age still has it .

[DuckAdonis]

1 Fury impressed me that he got the stoppage so quickly. I'm glad he didn't stink the place out.

2. Barrera Vs Hart kind of went like I thought it would but both looked worse somehow. Hart hurt Barrera a little more than I expected, but I still think Barrera won quite a few rounds with his educated pressure. Barrera is slowing down and he lost a bit wider than I thought he would

3 Warrington Vs Galahad went about exactly as I thought it would. I thought maybe a MD victory for Warrington because of his workrate and it turned out to be a SD victory. Galahad did great early on imo, had him ahead after 8 rounds, he was making Warrington miss alot and landing some nice potshots. But from the 9th onwards he was just too inactive and gave almost all the rounds away to Warrington who outworked him. Galahad didn't show urge or desire to take that belt and I had Warrington winning 7-5. Good decision

4. Briedis Vs Glowacki....man i didn't expect this to turn into a fkn slugfest lol. I thought a close points win for either fighter was the most obvious outcome. I thought Briedis was probably washed up after seeing his last 2 fights after Usyk. He couldn't even throw a right hand properly in those fights. But the surgery turned out to be a success. Yes that elbow was very dirty and probably had some impact on Glowacki being KOd so soon. Still Briedis looked very sharp from the opening bell, like the old Briedis. Now the referee is the only one to blame imo. He did an awful job. He looked senile and deaf. We gotta keep in mind that although Briedis hit Glowacki with that elbow, that it was retaliation for that blatant rabbit punch. Briedis just showed that he isn't taking that kind of stuff. But that elbow was unnecessary ofc. Referee did a horrible job and Briedis managed to hurt Glowacki again and again. They both fought after the bell so I think in that case only the ref was to blame. Glowacki didn't stop fighting. They were both swinging so protect yourself at all times

5. Dorticos delivered. I didn't think he had it in him to deliver a 1 shot KO like that Late in the fight. I knew he could do it early...
Tabiti is just not championship material imo. He wasn't winning the fight, he used too many spoiling tactics. Was way too inactive and looked like he just wanted to survive. When he did start to engage he got KO'd cold. He got ability but it's not the whole package. Dorticos is simply a better fighter. Great fight from Dorticos. I'm very happy for him! Looking forward to the finals

That is absolutely ridiculous. Alot of people looked at Tabiti as the heir to Usyk's throne, but he hadn't even beat any top cruiserweights. It actually shows how underrated and good the cruiserweight division is. You got the highly touted American prospect with fast hands from the Mayweather gym getting KOd by the first top cruiserweight he fights. And Glowacki KOd Huck, who had a fight with Povetkin that could've gone either way. He ain't no pushover

[ShaneMosleySr]

In my opinion, Tabiti and Glowacki getting beat badly doesn’t help the case for the division being deep or good. It makes me feel like the guys at the top, who aren’t among the best of the best in all of boxing, are a level above the guys right below them in the rankings.

Breidis is the only guy who could be considered an elite talent at the weight because he basically fought even with Usyk. Everyone else at the top either got outclassed by Usyk or was beaten by someone else. And it’s hard to be high on Breidis as that kind of talent after the Noel Gevor fight. That fight made me question him and Usyk even.

I just watch cruiserweight and think that no one is really that good at the top. I think if they were they would have given Usyk a tough fight like Breidis did or be fighting as a small heavyweight already.

Agree with you 💯 .
Good breakdown of Breidis / Glowacki and Dorticos / Tabiti .
I skipped the ESPN fights .

Whats your prediction for Breidis / Dorticos ?
