The Martin fight won't be big money but he's a top 10 guy but not a big puncher, so ideal choice for Haney. After that he should target Teo, who seems to have issues with guys who use a lot of movement. Maybe Haney gets knocked out there but that would be the risk vs any elite puncher.

It's like Al Haymon was having a garage sale of all the shit he didn't want anymore, and the guy organising this undercard walked by and said "I'll take everything".

It will either look like Canelo-Kirkland or Canelo-Angulo depending on how aggressive Munguia is and how well he can take Canelo's punches.

WBO wanting their slice of the Saudi pie.

So if Crawford wins, Fundora has to face him next or be stripped of a belt. But also if Crawford wins, he has to defend against Charlo next or be stripped of a different belt. Happy this fight is happening but imagine having to explain all of this...

Would like to see Ball with somebody like Robert Garcia. He has a lot of the right qualities but could do with being that 10% smarter in there, more lateral movement and picking his punches a bit differently.

I understand why people keep bringing this fight up, as it was such a natural one to make and the way Canelo ducked was so blatant and has lasted for years. But really it's done now. Benavidez has moved to a different division, fight won't happen.

I concede there's a small chance the fight...

Him and Teo are both inconsistent hotheads, best they fight now before one of them takes an L or goes on a fake retirement....

Credit to Derrick James. Had to deal with a lot of critics after Spence and Charlo lost. Had to deal with a lot of BS during this promotion. But just got on with it and helped his fighter get the W.

Credit to Garcia for proving so many of us wrong. Coming in overweight does take something away from it though. A lot of fights might have turned out differently if one guy was allowed an extra 3lbs.

You can win a fight and still be crazy.

This reminded me of Will Ferrell dying in Austin Powers, keep thinking he's dead but then he cries out and has to be shot some more.

There were rumours that Jalolov was facing Luis Ortiz in Saudi a few months back but it was never official, and then instead it was announced that he was fighting in Uzbekistan. But then he withdrew from that fight to focus on the Paris Olympics which is disappointing.

I'm really impressed...

Reading comprehension not your strong point is it? Read the post you are quoting where I said "Just because one person watches boxing on his phone, doesn't mean the rest of us have to". Maybe it would help you to sober up and trying reading it again. Might take a few days as the intelligence...

Every Biden press conference is like a deleted scene from a Naked Gun movie....

I think Israel firing that missile will be the end of this back and forth for now. Probably flares up again before long but the Israeli response was a lot softer than it could've been, basically a de-escalation while also showing that they will land the final punch of the fight on their own terms regardless...

[Clegg]

Could be wrong but first instinct is it's a political move. PBC will offer a low purse, Madrimov will turn it down, so they go to purse bid, Hearn/Saudi will win the purse bid, but then Charlo pulls out. Wastes months of time and hurts the sport. But would be happy to be wrong.

20 years ago was a low point for HW boxing. The current guys are better overall.

[Clegg]

Of course I read the article, your comments were dumb just the same. Just because one person watches boxing on his phone, doesn't mean the rest of us have to. You didn't answer my one simple question but you asked me 4 questions. Nice attempt at deflection but you still seem stupid and confused. Perhaps...

[Clegg]

Could it be Vergil Ortiz vs a legit opponent as chief support, with the idea being that the winners fight? Ortiz is no.1 in the WBA rankings so next in line for a mandatory shot anyway. That would help sell tickets. GBP might not want to have Ortiz as undercard on a Hearn show, but Saudi money goes...

It's especially stupid for them to use the phrase right now because there isn't a face of the sport. Boxing has always been tribal, most boxers appeal to their own demographic primarily. The 'face of the sport' is the guy who goes beyond that, which nobody has done since Floyd/Pac. Canelo is a big star...
