That's a pretty good assessment. Can definitely see Dirrell being dusted off for Plant....

[PBR Streetgang]

True. That makes sense. Its probably just as simple as that: Coppinger calling Plant and Plant giving his side of the story. I (probably incorrectly) assume that when someone speaks about the financial details, it's going to be the one helping finance it or with the consent of those financing it....

PBR Streetgang:
CBS, KO, Mid
Benn, Decision, Clear
Xu, Decision, Close
On a side note, I'm really looking forward to this card....

[PBR Streetgang]

I do think it's odd that Plant is the one coming out and speaking about where the breakdown in negotiations happened, especially since it's a sticking point that doesn't involve him directly (compensation to Canelo in the event of a replacement). Shouldn't it be Tim Smith or whomever is the spokesperson...

[PBR Streetgang]

I've seen the laughable content of your posts clown, you're a fraud through and through. Just because you have a poster of AJ on your ceiling and you shadowbox in your parent's garage doesn't make you an authority....

[PBR Streetgang]

I think some just understand the realities of the sport and the attitudes of those at the apex level when it comes to ability and money making.

Canelo is one of the few fighters in the sport who's leverage exceeds that of promotional companies....

[PBR Streetgang]

I enjoyed it and it taught me self discipline. I definitely learned about cutting weight and making limits running around in rubber track suits. It could be grueling but at least I wasn't getting punched in the face....

[PBR Streetgang]

Alot of good posts already but I will add my take.

Canelo wants complete control over any possible contingency. He's seen the Teofimo, Fury/Wilder, Fury/AJ sagas where fights and fighters get left in limbo. I don't think PBC would do some bait and switch shenanigans but Canelo's team may...

Didn't get into any organized boxing even tho I loved it since a kid. Wrestling was my sport both in school and travel teams. Finally got into Muay Thai in my 20s. There were pro kickboxers training at my gym but I never did amateur let alone pro. After getting punched in the face many times (and KO'd...

[PBR Streetgang]

I could see this occuring. Chances are the next time we see him it's against a PBC fighter. Maybe they get Ortiz in against Trevor Bryan and get him that prestigious WBA regular trinket. He's #3 in their rankings.

Barring these, how about Wallin? He's a PBC fighter, I realize he's not a...

[PBR Streetgang]

Interesting that he was close to getting a big fight and then disappeared from the sport for over a decade. Not many notable names on his record but good luck to his comeback.

[PBR Streetgang]

Fingers crossed that everything can be resolved and we can have a unification fight for September. I don't care what network or provider has the broadcast/streaming rights.

Until we have more information, blame and finger pointing will wait (for me at least)....

[PBR Streetgang]

I can already hear the FOX broadcast crew making not so funny zings about the food/drink-oriented names.

Rice is durable but he also tends not to put out any legitimate offense whatsoever (at least the handful of times I've watched him). Rice fought very uninspired against an equally uninspired...

[PBR Streetgang]

I gotta be honest, I enjoy your insight even if I disagree with you but you have an ability to come off incredibly condescending.

You're getting defensive and being overly sensitive to people raising their eyebrows that a kid who has yet to step into the professional ranks is comparing...

[PBR Streetgang]

I know who he is. I don't think anyone is knocking Odiase (who seems to be a nice kid from the interviews I've seen) so much as they are knocking the fact he's casually referencing his movement akin to Ali.

I generally take all sparring stories with a grain of salt, but was interested...

[PBR Streetgang]

Haha, he lost me with his Ali take as well. His supposed defensive prowess allowed him to not actually say who he thought hit harder (in sparring). Basically, his take is: AJ more technically sound with more punches in his arsenal and Wilder more explosive. Nothing groundbreaking there....

[PBR Streetgang]

Yup, I'm one of those guys. I thought Commey would give Teo difficult times and make him question his resolve. I was wrong. I thought the size difference would be a factor in Lopez's fight against Loma but I favored Lomachenko.

With the above bad takes on my resume, I still feel pretty...

[PBR Streetgang]

It's a good question and alot of good posts. I don't really have an answer. Both were who they were. Khan had speed, athleticism and power but his boxing IQ was subpar and never really improved. That poor IQ and a suspect chin meant that Khan's ceiling would always be limited.

Brook was...

[PBR Streetgang]

From a business standpoint, does it make sense for Bivol? Canelo likes titles and he's about to clear out the Super Middleweight division (provided he fights and beats Plant). Bivol has the WBA "super" title at LHW which he can pretty much sit on so long as they allow him. He's a Matchroom...

[PBR Streetgang]

That's probably the worst take I've ever seen on this site. You got the prediction wrong. It's that simple. Nobody counts rounds won in a stoppage halfway through a fight as some kind of moral victory. You hear people talking up Botha winning rounds before Tyson stopped him? No. Stop embarrassing y...
