Well this is disappointing, very exciting fight for a decent card in Itauma vs Whyte. The Heavyweight's card delivering top vs top fighters but Nick Ball is fighting a Super Bantamweight (again) and Hayato Tsutsumi is fighting a unknown British Super featherweight who is coming off two losses and a...

Have also heard Morrell's camp isn't going great exactly, as his physical conditioning trainer, who works as well with Shakur Stevenson, had left him and is fully focused on helping Stevenson for his fight. People around Morrell's camp note that he doesn't feel fully focused in training for the fight...

My post in the other thread of Reynoso's by eco1:...

[Malvado]

Chihuas always fought the way he did, so I think he still beat Yafai and dominantly so, feel bad for the guy since he finally had his career back in track and he was quite excited for it too. Too bad he joined Reynoso's unreliable team and now will be banned for a year or two, also his recent notable...

From what I seen in MJ's fight with Tapales, he seems to be a fighter that is easily discouraged when under pressure. He was dominantly beating Tapales until he got rocked a few times, then he started to throw low output punches with quite less precision. Then late in the fight he seemed to win rounds...

Hard fight, but more winnable for Devin Haney than folks think.

Two things to note:

1. Both fighters have the similiar height and reach dimensions. Haney is well rounded. Which will make less susceptible to being caught compared to Santillan and Sasaki.

2. Brian...

Would be comical if Berlanga had another celebration parade even if got starched by Sheeraz. Who I think will get him out of there in the middle rounds.

4 out of 4 then, should had checked Tapales's history properly. Solid run from what I am checking, he beat world champions like Pungluang Sor Singyu and Murodjon Akhmadaliev. Another notable win is over former ranked contender, Hiroaki Teshigawara.

Also agree that referees now do premature...

Another comparison I like to add, is that people thought Barrera was in downslide like People think Naoya Inoue is also in the downslide for his recent knockdowns, even with Barrera coming off 7 (6 KOs) wins before fighting Morales, Erik was the favorite. As he was the younger fighter with a dominant...

Joe Cordina is kind like Miguel Berchelt, technical textbook fighter that capitalize on his physical prowess at 130. But he likely won't translate well at Lightweight and above.

He isn't bad in term of skill at all, but it is quite reliant on his punch resistance and punching power.

[Malvado]

What a frigging run that would be, if he beat Cafu and Martinez, it is argueable that he is top 5 Super Flyweight historically, yet the guy would be 25 years old if he succeeded beating Cafu and Martinez consecutively.

Who else would be available at Super Flyweight though? Only think left...

Competitive good fight between Delgado and Paro, Paro is a granite chinned and awkward counter punching southpaw.

Delgado has the right skillset where he boxes patiently, not easily being countered and is the bigger puncher stat wise.

If takes place in Australia with No Limits...

There card is still scheduled, but from what I read Tank really wants to move on and not make the rematch happen.

He recently deleted his Instagram and X account to likely avoid reading backlash in case it is off....

You called it, Smith wanted a higher payday and wasn't willing to fight unless he got it, but Yarde immediately took the opportunity.

Hope it still is available fight in the future, along with Benavidez getting a opportunity against Canelo and Bivol/Beterbiev...

[Malvado]

Agree to disagree, if Benavidez doesn't fight Smith and waits for Bivol/Beterbiev, what fight would you want to see instead? Or do you think he should wait?

With the latter I think David would get bloated and have another excessive weight cut. Benavidez cut 220 to 175 inside a month and...

[Malvado]

I kind of understand, but I rather see the fight to get things going than no fight at all. Both considered top level fighters at 175 and they are stylistically compatible.

Don't think Callum Smith needs to manage his career like the young prospects do by maneuvering around risks, considering...

[Malvado]

Forgot about this guy, his brothers fight as often as he does too. Skipping a 1 or 2 just to fight once against a unknown fighter.

Also hoped to see Mark Magsayo vs Rocky Hernandez, not the guy Rocky KOd multiple years ago.
