    DAZN vs. ESPN vs. Pbc(early months)

    So we know the boxing schedule for the first two months...who has the best schedule of fights?

    I'm surprised DAZN has a pretty quiet first two months of the year as far as number of cards go. The same can be said about espn, n there's not a single espn plus card in the month of january. The pbc early schedule besides fury-wilder is rather weak.

    DAZN
    Munguia-O sullivan-IM TELLING YOU PEOPLE, if o Sullivan's chin holds up, this will be a shootout
    Farmer-Diaz-I think farmer narrowly escapes with a decision, good contrast of styles
    Roman-akbsfhjhhn-the European is very talented, n this is a 50/50 fight..should be exciting
    Andrade-keeler-terrible mismatch, n Andrade will likely box to a boring decision
    Brook-deluca-underrated matchup, brook coming off a long layoff n deluca impressed me in his last fight..several other competitive fights on the card
    Ryan Garcia fight(forgot his opponents name)-garcia likely destroys him, not a good matchup
    Linares-Morales-very interested in this fight due to the fact linares has declined
    Garcia-Vargas-id favor garcia 55/45. Garcias performance against Spence was a turn off..vargas size n own ability makes him a live dog, should be action packed
    Yafai-chocolotito??-great, evenly matched fight at this point in Gonzalez's career IF it makes made
    Martinez-Harris-Martinez is a buzzsaw, I expect Harris to box, great fight
    There's also an Italy card Feb. 28th n those are generally pretty fun.

    ESPN:
    Smith-hart-good fight between two established contenders, could go either way
    Alvarez-seals-no interest for me in this one, Alvarez by easy tko
    ESPN plus afternoon card feb. 1st
    Ramirez-postol-im anticipating this one, postol always gives a good account of himself, Ramirez is terrific
    Then we've got the golden contract semi finals feb. 21st which should be great fun
    Fury-wilder PPV-first blockbuster fight of 2020, doesn't need to be explained

    PBC:
    Williams-Rosario-ill admit I know nothing about Rosario, but he brings a good record in against a great fighter in William's
    Garcia-redehk-this is a mismatch, garcia by late tko in a one sided fight
    Jarret hurds return-should win easily
    Caleb plants defense-I know nothing about his opponent, but it's a hometown title defense
    Wilder-fury PPV-will be buying it, hope the card is loaded

    Showtime also has claressa shields this Friday in a card of mismatches along with Gary Russell in feb. As well as several shoebox cards

    I'd rate DAZNs schedule a solid B

    I'd rate espn a B-

    I'd rate pbc/showtime a C-

    Thoughts?

    I think your grades are pretty accurate. The DAZN schedule would be even better if Ryan Garcia were facing Jorge Linares instead of having them face seperate opponents. Perhaps that fight can be next if they both win.

    I could see Munguia having a tougher fight than expected because he employs the "face-first" defense.

    I expect Danny Garcia to knock Ivan Redkach into next week.

    I favor Wilder over Fury but only by a 55/45 margin. It should be a great fight.

      Why do you think Spike's chin is going to hold up when he just got one punch KO'd lol (And I'm not sticking up for Munguia. I think he's awful)

        GBP might regret not going with an even lighter touch than Morales for Linares. Any Mexican that fights at even a semi-fast pace troubles Linares.

        The fights I’m looking forward to are Ramirez vs. Postol, Roman vs. Ahdhdjdjdjsf, Garcia vs. Vargas and Martinez vs. Harris.

            Thing is on this forum, if anybody is to say DAZN seems to have the better run here its only cuz they are racist and have an agenda against the PBC. Even though it clearly seems that DAZN has the better run in here.

              Spike didn't see the left hook, n lemieux has devastating one punch power, while munguia is more of a volume puncher who breaks you down.

                I agree I think this matchmaking was done VERY carefully . Manguia is a train wreck waiting to happen. Could u imagine if I Sullivan wins .....good lord lol ....but honestly I wouldnt be that surprised lmao . I see munguia winning via tko by round 5

                  They'll eventually cash Munguia out against Canelo, but he's being protected very carefully.
