Canelo vs Kovalev tomorrow night! Should be interesting as Canelo goes up two weight classes.

[Ajmboy]

Boxing has been difficult with COVID, so anyone with some pent up desire to watch a good fight, tonight on ESPN is a real good one not to miss. No PPV fees!

Here is the series to help you get pumped up:

 

Presser

I think Loma wins by decision...

Well I didn't see that coming, Loma should have done more in the first half. New champ now.

[Ajmboy]

Anyone watch Tyson and Jones last night?

 

[pacton10]

Possibly my favourite moment: When Tyson Fury gets up after Wilder makes the throat slashing sign as he walks away thinking he knocked him out...

And then THIS:

 

[pacton10]

Fury has to come through Wilder again (III) in order to fight AJ.  This pushes it back to Dec 2021 at least.

Quote

An undisputed unification was close until a US judge ordered Fury to give Wilder his contracted third fight.

Fury has to come through Wilder again to seal another round of talks with Joshua. If successful, a December date is brewing for the bout.

Yeah that’s what makes Fury so popular.

Yeah, I was disappointed to see that happen. I would have preferred fury vs Joshua. I’m waiting for Joshua vs Usyk now unless he vacates the belt. I got DAZN, and it’s been worth it for now. Wondering if the matchroom move from sky sports to DAZN will make it even better.

Do yall think Canelos last presser scuffle was planned?

I think its possible to raise the drama, but they didn't plan on the glasses cutting Plant. I'd like to see Golovkin in there again with Canelo.

I'm not going to watch Canelo on PPV, I'll catch the round by round online. I am however going to watch Joshua vs Usyk on Saturday since its on DAZN and I have that. 

[Autismdad956]

Watching the scuffle in slow motion i saw that neither fighter had their fists closed. All were slaps. That tells me it was either planned or they really have control of themselves. Cuz in a situation like that your normal instinct is to clinch fists.

What a fight, my favorite fight this year. Usyk did an amazing job. He dominated a majority of the rounds and it was very technical. He deserved the win and along with Loma in that stable of fighters, the technical fakes and such are impressive. Joshua has 30 days to exercise his rematch, but the more I watch him, I think he's slipping for whatever reason and his hesitancy to mix it up and be more aggressive is apparent. The Andy Ruiz fight messed him up and he probably had flashbacks! Now he's lost the titles for the 2nd time and this time it wasn't a fluke, he got outboxed.

I started watching boxing after the Deontay Wilder /Gypsy king saga

[Ajmboy]

Anyone planning on watching the Canelo/Bivol fight tonight? I subscribe to DAZN but this one is an additional PPV which is a new model on DAZN. 

Bivol is bigger and if does the same as he did with Kovalev, it'll be Canelo.

[Ajmboy]

I bit the bullet and ended up watching this. Glad I did, great fight. Only Canelo's second loss in his career, first was 9 years ago to Mayweather. Bivol got his # and was a very technical fighter, jab, jab, jab. Too much for Canelo. He looked tired. I think the weight class may be too much as well. He was confident after he beet Kovalev in this weight class. He has a rematch clause.

Watching the re-match today, its on now with pre-fights on DAZN! Early fight becaus in Saudi Arabia

 

[Ajmboy]

Anyone watch Loma get a title back? Looked like vintage Loma. Great fight although I figured it would be easy for him.

 

Usyk vs Fury this Saturday! That's a big one. Gonna buy the PPV.
