Wow, look at all the great upcoming fights we're discussing.....

[DuckAdonis]

Have you noticed fighters have to threaten to sue to get there WBSS to do the right thing? Donaire just had to do it then suddenly the WBSS gets off their ass and do what they were supposed to do. Taylor vs. Prograis doesn't have a date or venue. If this fight doesn't happen the blame needs to be put squarely on the shoulders of the WBSS. This tournament was supposed to be finished by the end of July. You can't not pay fighters then string them along holding their careers hostage.

I hope the fight happens but calling Regis a duck because the WBSS isn't holding up their end of the deal is outrageous. No fighter should fight for free. Would you work for free?

We don't hear no complaints from Josh Taylor and Inoue tho...

You know why? Because they are confident they can win the whole thing. Donaire and Prograis apparently are not.

Or are you saying they are only not paying Prograis, you don't think he is getting any money? Yeah I'm not buying that man...that man is not working for free. The WBSS overpays these guys or they wouldn't even enter the tournament. Thats why they are having money problems. He will get his money, just needs to be patient. Pulling out of a final is diva stuff, sorry. That's my opinion. Why sue before the fight and not after? Will cost him the same amount of money anyway. Bigger chance he already gets paid before that tho. I'm fine with him threatening to sue, but pulling out of the final is a no-go

It’s really bad right now. Showcases and mismatches due to having three separate networks and one wants to be almost a separate sport.

This is the lowest point talent wise and action wise of the gloved era. I’ve personally cancelled Showtime, wont watch Fox and even the ESPN/DAZN stuff is dull. It’s a shame that all people want to talk about is “who’s ducking who” and Mayweather and Pacquaio.

It’s a sad indictment of the fan base of the sport and the situation within the sport.

That's some very good points that I've been saying for a while. The Main events of most of these cards don't even feature TWO top 10 contenders. I agree 100% its as bad as its been with mismatches in last 35+years I been watching sport and its NOT CLOSE. Just think if Dana White's new boxing program gets going it will be 4 different "leagues" that really might be enough to get me to give up the only sport I REALLY love.I like Football,Basketball, but NOTHING like boxing its been a real big part of my life.Its depressing………...

Good point and true, but its sad as sh it if we don't get that fight. Not sure what WBSS is doing because this go's back to the 1st one, but if they're so tight with money why did they try and do 3 this time esp the cruiser one. Now its been good and I'm glad to see the fights, but it was unnecessary esp if money was tight. Not sure they have thought this out very well.

[E-Thug]

The fall schedule for boxing looks absolutely grim, not much to look forward to at all plus a lot of dead weeks where there are no fights tabbed

[Chrismart]

There's a few I'm interested in but i think there's a clear winner in each of those.

Off the top of my head, Gvozdyk Vs Beterbiev is probably the only fight I'm really looking forward to.

[tophat1]

it hasnt been too bad. aj vs ruiz, pac vs Thurman, hooker vs ramirez, hurd vs Williams. fair few upsets aswell

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Prograis avoiding Taylor- one of the best matchups of the year goes down the drain

Beterbiev- Gvozdyk is still good tho

I like the Lomachenko-Campbell card, Spence Vs Porter is solid.

I always love watching Kovalev fight and that entire card is filled with Russian prospects.

Inoue vs Donaire


But yeah that's about it isn't it...

You think Prograis is really avoiding him? Seemed like 50/50 fight or maybe 60/40. That's sad if he is.

They're riding on the good years boxing had in 2018 & 2017

He had to threaten a lawsuit against the WBSS to get his money. He's gotten his money now he's ready to fight. Duckadonis is a idiot for saying that man should fight for free then sue to get his money after the fight. Dumbest **** I ever read on here
