The general boxing thread

[Va-Va-Voom]

Takes longer than 5 mins to recover from a low blow. If he continued he'd have done so in pain and left himself open to being knocked the f**k out.

Done the right thing and is criticised lol

But low blow Crawford as he is now known is let off

In all my years of watching combat sports I can't recall a single time a fighter used the full 5 minutes to recover from a low blow.

Khan was blessed with a way out and took it.

Is Errol Spence ducking Crawford?

I watched his post fight and I'm hearing nothing but excuses, all talking about other people to fight but doesn't want Crawford.

Sounds like he and Haymon want to protect his record.

[Va-Va-Voom]

I think Haymon wants to avoid Crawford but Spence will fight anyone.

That's the best fight in boxing, I think Crawford wins.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Spence vs Porter is official

[Va-Va-Voom]

Canelo vs Jacobs on Saturday can't wait

I think Canelo stops him with a body shot.

[DiamondGooner]

Joshua vs Andy Ruiz is also official.

Apparently he's better than Miller but its a shame because all the hype was done for Miller, but unfortunately this is the best American we could get.

I mean for real, you guys have millions of people in your country and this is your current crop of HW's??

Breazeale, Miller, Ruiz, Wilder, Ortiz .......... who both the latter also ducked and run.

Did you hear Ortiz's manager actually admitted their agent was talking sh*t about Hearn trying to low ball them?

His manager fair play to him said that its their agents fault as he tried to get too greedy, Hearn offered $7m, way more than Ortiz got for fighting Wilder.

I knew they were blagging because the first thing their camp said when asked if they wanted the fight was "Ortiz wouldn't be ready for June" not very convincing is it?

First of all

Joshua vs Ruiz Jr is very embarrassing and the Hearns + Sky are taking the f*cking pi*s.

I hope you guys actually think twice about buying the fight.

Second

Barry Hearn made slave trade owner comments recently, he's made this type of comment before in a Sunday Telegraph 2015 article.

I hope you boycott Matchroom fights starting with AJ's donut fight on the 1st June.

p.s Fearon is a sell out

[Jedi]

Can't they at least get a replacement that looks fit/intimidating? Andy Ruiz looks like Michelin Man.

[UFGN]

What the f**k is this?

I'm in better shape than this bloke and I don't even try nowadays!

Sell your agenda elsewhere.

This is a replacement fight, Ortiz turned it down and there is no one else decent available.

UFGN - Ruiz may look fat but he has a better record than Miller ......... who's also fat.

This is the state of the American HW div unfortunately and they needed an American fighter.

Everyone else is ducking and running from AJ, that is a fact, Ortiz turned down a career high pay day for this.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Canelo wins but the fight was mostly boring.

It's still a let down and plays into the PR coming from Wilder. Joshua wins - he beat a fat dude. He looks anything but excellent - he struggled against a fat dude. He loses - he's a bum who couldn't beat a fat dude.

Yeah if your an idiot.

The "PR" from Wilder has been trashed, all boxing fans know that now.

Shelly Finkel just said on a radio show the other day that Wilder has no plans to fight Joshua before 2020 and they turned down one of the highest pay days in boxing history to the tune of $110m with the two way rematch he said was his sticking point.

That PR game has been lost on all those bar the people who don't keep up properly quite frankly.

Its not Joshua's fault Wilder cut and run, so did Ortiz and Miller got busted.

[DiamondGooner]

Well at least he looks like he can bang, only ever lost once, better fight than Miller.
