Bobfoc Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Callum Smith fights Canelo tomorrow. Smith will have a big size advantage, but Canelo is very much the betting favourite and will become a four-weight champion if he wins. It's a bit strange that this has fallen under a radar a bit.

Meacon Keaton Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Tyson Fury/Anthony Joshua to happen in "May or June 2021" according to Fury's people. Sounds like they're finalizing details with Joshua's side and figuring out a location. Most likely Saudi Arabia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 It's such a shame that the shady business of boxing, couple with a global pandemic, mean that it's taking place in Saudi Arabia. Having it at Wembley Stadium would have made for one of the biggest sporting occasions in British history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 One would assume this won't be their only meeting though, so the Wembley bout can still happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 It all depends on the money, you'd think. Even before the pandemic, a lot of the talk was of a Saudi fight. If they get enough money, promoters like Frank Warren and Eddie Hearn won't care about crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 It also depends on the involvement of Daniel Kinahan, the Irish gangster who is Tyson Fury's 'advisor'. Not surprised that scum would gravitate towards scum, tbh. But Kinahan's involvement is bad for boxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Boxing is a sleazy business, so I wouldn't be surprised if it all got swept under the rug. It's a sport that took a convicted rapist in Mike Tyson, branded him the "baddest man on the planet" and made even more millions out of him. More recently, large sections of the media were happy to dismiss Floyd Mayweather's domestic abuse charges as "scuffles" because he was the sport's biggest cash cow. Daniel Kinahan should be nowhere near a sport that wants a clean image, but combat sports so often get off the hook for involving criminals that resistance will probably be meekly defeated.

Meacon Keaton Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Did anyone else watch the PBC on Fox tonight? Fairly even, if maybe a little boring main event between Anthony Dirrell and Kyrone Davis. Some really exciting undercard bouts though. But Jesus, whoever the color commentator was was friggin' terrible. Brian Kenny would ask a question to him or just try to get his opinion on a potential fight and he'd either not be listening and go on about something else entirely or he'd be a smart-ass dickwad back to Kenny, who clearly was just trying to get a discussion going. Poor Lennox Lewis would pipe up and try to steer the conversations back to the fight, because the asshole color guy was being a major prick anytime Kenny spoke to him. It was so uncomfortable and unprofessional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Buscher Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 Jake Paul vs Ben Askren went about as expected Spoiler Blatantly rigged with Askren going down to one single punch. Cameras then showed him and his wife leaving and they had the biggest smiles. Congrats on the payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted April 18, 2021 Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 The entire gimmick is having Paul rack up enough wins against guys taking dives, etc and then cashing out with a massive PPV against a real boxer who just punches his face in. I suppose this is exactly what Jake Paul is planning as well. He's gotta be in on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lusophone Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 It didn't seem rigged from where I was sitting tbh. It also apparently did 1.45 million buys, and may even top 2 million. That's an insane number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Canelo vs. Saunders starts in a few hours. There's expected to be an indoor crowd of 70,000, which seriously reckless. I'd like to back the British fighter, but Saunders is an incorrigible bumbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 A US judge has ruled that Wilder and Fury must fight before September which could place doubt on Fury/Joshua. But more likely scenario is Wilder will be offered a fuck ton of money in order to allow Fury/Joshua to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Can't wait for this fight. Joshua should win, though, right? Based on Wilders' benching form, I'm gonna' say he gets knocked out earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
