What the is bloke said ^^^^...

[Oldskoolg]

Lampley isn’t wrong. Garcia gets shots based on being a social media sensation. He was wiped out mid rounds by davis and will get soundly beaten by Haney. His social media fans will not translate to being fans of boxing or other fighters just as the teenage girls who used to follow DLH didn’t...

[Oldskoolg]

For some reason he’s not been marketed as PR or to the PR fanbase....

[Oldskoolg]

This is the truth. The promoter wars after 2018 when you had pbc, top rank, and matchroom all on the American boxing scene drove the prices up and made it so the fighters had to be overpriced for promotions to stay afloat oddly. The “if the money is right” (ie I can’t risk fighting...

Nah, atmosphere matters. That’s why Americans loved seeing big fights at Wembley to see 90,000 pyss head brits signing boisterously. Or all the American celebs at the fights in Vegas or NYC. Did any of us really like seeing the covid era fights with no fans? I personally don’t remember any...

[Oldskoolg]

And wasn’t he universally panned for his performance to the point virtually no one would ants to see him fight again?...

[Oldskoolg]

We need more Netflix in boxing, what an excellent piece of news and since it’s on Netflix and not dazn I’ll be watching...

[Oldskoolg]

Oh I volunteer to answer. I still don’t like Hearn nor do I have dazn. So does that answer your ultranationalist type question there Yaxley-Lenin?...

Hello

Would you be interested in joining a boxing group on discord.

Hmu for info

Wilder is getting brutally knocked out AND I would add tht he really tries to sound eloquent and it fails each and every time because is forced and fake

[Oldskoolg]

His biggest problem in his career is that he is an apparent antisocial ho does t think the law pertains to him. If he doesn’t dominate himself then he’s only going to go so far

[Oldskoolg]

This….to the nth degree...

[Oldskoolg]

Exactly, boxing moves on in a positive direction in every possible way when this kid moves on...

[Oldskoolg]

Agree with Spence’s abhorrent lack of discipline as a fighter. His career marred by substance abuse, gluttony, and antisocial bad choices led him to the one sided beating he got from Crawford. Spence has seen his best days...

[Oldskoolg]

Just out of curiosity what are we basing his suggested greatness on? Are we giving him all time great status because of his fights with Wilder? Does that mean when he fought him that Wilder was an all time great or at least on the threshold? If so isn’t that inconsistent with what toxic fandom...

[Oldskoolg]

I like this lad, he is solid and always comes to fight. I would love to see this Brazilian win a world title and inspire young lads in the favelas to take up the Sweet Science...

[Oldskoolg]

That so called “champions for a day” era came
out of a result of the three belt era taken hold over the old one champion era. All of those guys were solid and would beat the guys today…Witherspoon, Weaver, Holmes, Spinks, Dokes, even guys like Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, John...

[Oldskoolg]

I’m not confident now that boots will have the career that will make him remembered. His signing with matchroom doesn’t exactly fill me with excitement. His better options would have been TR or PBC with exposure to sports fans on ESPN or Amazon. But matchroom and dazn is where we are so...

[Oldskoolg]

So many antisocials in boxing, it gets a bit tiring over the decades. One can only wonder what guys like spadafora and ibeabuchi could have become...

[Oldskoolg]

There are actually fights for him on dazn but I just don’t see them coming to fruition. Eddie will have him fight a couple of domestic level British fighters that won’t last 5 rounds combined and then he will have him fight benn in the Saudi on an undercard. All the while going totally unnoticed...
