Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[Newzz]

I'm not in the business in discussing who did better in a L that's loser talk friend


The judges saw one fight closer then the other tho N that's what matters



We all saw Granados with his 46% ko rate Make Porter do the Kodak Bop

Swift got more then enough power

I disagree, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there


Until then, Swift can wait for his opportunity to face Porter after we beat Thurman

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Swift vs Porter is one of the most 50/50 style clash match ups you can make right now.

Swift can either get outworked and mauled to a decision loss or Porter can keep getting hit with accurate counters all night and made to retreat. Either can happen.

Granados did make Porter run, but lets not forget that Julio Diaz did too in the 2nd half of their first fight. Porter's chin is good, but he takes punches too clean imo. That will eventually catch up to him. He had Granados looking like Eric Morales out there with the one twos. Ditto for the other guy Shawn fought on Spike a couple years ago. Thurman was rocking him with shots, but he was cuffing with the left hook and thats the punch Porter is more open for. Thurman is more of a right hand power puncher. Swift is a left hook guy and he hits hard with that shyt. There's a reason Keith didn't try to bomb Swift out even though he knew he could hurt him. He caught some counters and decided that he could still win with just footwork and boxed. Porter is athletic and can move, but he's not an outside boxer type of guy, he's not effective that way and usually loses those rounds when he does that.

If Swift gets Porter to fight on the backfoot he wins a decision easy. Judges expect to see Porter coming forward, so if he's backing up and getting hit with stiff shots, he's gonna lose them rounds..If Porter decides to stay in Swift's grill all night smothering Danny's punches and pushing him backwards like PED did in the championship rds of their fight, Porter can win.

I think Swift wins a tough one if both bring their A game. He'll land all the clean eye catching blows and Porter will get those lil hustle punches in and land the random haymaker every now and then. Swift will have to move his hands in this one though. If he gets too defensive and allows Porter to get momentum he can get out hustled.

agreed..esp the bolded...ive said it for a min hes getting away with this because he cuts stupid weight and he has football strength..this wont happen when he goes back to 154 and faces the top 154 fighters..not the 3rd tier ones he was facing before that he was struggling with

If Brook had that boy befuddled in there, what happens when Swift is landing quick deadly combos on his bobble head


Not sure if Spence is ready for that elite level shyt quite yet, Brook wasnt elite that rhetoric needs to stop

WBC updates title status for all belts
1
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman outlines his organizations championship situations.
By Wil Esco@wil_esco Jan 3, 2018, 11:50am EST TWEET

With the new year officially underway, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman releases the sanctioning body’s first quarter report on mandatory status for all of its titles. Let’s have a quick rundown...

Heavyweight: Titleholder Deontay Wilder made a successful, and emphatic, mandatory of his title last November when he crushed Bermane Stiverne early. Wilder is now in his voluntary period but still targets a showdown with fellow heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua. The WBC says they fully support a unification.

Cruiserweight: Champion Maris Bredeis will be unifying titles with Oleksandr Usyk as part of the World Boxing Super Series. The WBC will take another look at the mandatory situation for this division following the WBSS’ conclusion in May.

Light Heavyweight: Titleholder Adonis Stevenson, who hasn’t made a mandatory title defense in forever, is going to take on Badou Jack. Meanwhile, mandatory challenger Eleider Alvarez will fight Oleksandr Gvozdyk for an interim title. The winner of Stevenson-Jack and Alvarez-Gvozdyk must face off immediately.

Super Middleweight: Titleholder David Benevidez is scheduled to take on Ronald Gavril next month. Then, diamond champion Callum Smith will continue his participation in the WBSS tournament. The WBC will take a look at the mandatory status for the belt at the end of the tourney.

Middleweight: Champion Gennady Golovkin has been ordered to rematch Canelo Alvarez, a fight he surely wants. Negotiations for that rematch appear to be a bit slow-going, so the WBC has ordered mandatory challenger Jermall Charlo to face Hugo Centeno for an interim title.

Junior Middleweight: Titleholder Jermell Charlo has made two mandatory defenses of the title. So in the meanwhile the WBC has ordered a final eliminator bout between Vanes Martyrosian and Maciej Sulecki.

Welterweight: Titleholder Keith Thurman, who has been out with an elbow injury, will be returning in a voluntary title defense. Shawn Porter remains his mandatory challenger and the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Brandon Rios will fill the second mandatory challenger slot — since Thurman has been so inactive.

Junior Welterweight: With Terence Crawford moving up a division, the WBC has ordered Amir Imam vs. Juan Carlos Ramirez and Regis Prograis vs Viktor Postol. The winner of those fight must face each other to fill the vacant belt.

Lightweight: Mikey Garcia has been granted special permission to fight over the lightweight limit next month in a ‘WBC special event.’ Diamond champion, Jorge Linares, will defend his strap this month. Both Linares and Garcia are expected to face one another right afterwards (assuming both win).

Junior Lightweight: Champion Miguel Berchelt will take on Cristian Mijarez next month and then make a mandatory title defense. The WBC is currently voting to put Miguel Roman in it’s mandatory challenger position.

Featherweight: Champion Gary Russell Jr. will make a voluntary defense next month, and will then need to make a mandatory title defense against JoJo Diaz.

Junior Featherweight: Titleholder Rey Vargas, who just defended his title last month, will be making a voluntary title defense and will then need to make a mandatory title defense.

Bantamweight: Champion Luis Nery has been ordered to rematch Shinsuke Yamanaka in March.

Junior Bantamweight: Titleholder Srisaket Sor Rungvisai will be making a mandatory title defense against Juan Estrada on HBO’s upcoming Superfly 2 card.

Flyweight: Champion Daigo Higa will be making a voluntary defense against Moises Fuentes. Meanwhile, the WBC will order a final eliminator match to determine the next mandatory challenger to Higa’s belt.

Junior Flyweight: Champion Ken Shiro defended his title just a few days ago in Japan. He’ll have to now fight Ganigan Lopez in a mandatory rematch ordered by the sanctioning body.

Strawweight: Titleholder Menayothin will be making a mandatory title defense against Panama’s Leroy Estrada in his next outing.

Lets keep it a buck...

GGG has no incentive to fight him..if he beats Canelo he looks for BJS to become undisputed...if Canelo wins he'll just drop it.

It's not looking good for him if he can only fight 160 PBC fighters also.

GGG has no incentive to fight Canelo, the world seen him thoroughly dominate Canelo; he can make the same bank being the A side vs a Charlo or Saunders who he been chasing whats the matter now

he needs to leave Espinoza's ass
sorry to say this cause Showtime also doing their job nicely but that division is just not their territory now and boxing is an individual business first and foremost.
For his brother it makes sense to stay where he is, for him not so much...

also writing out an interim belt in his situation is kind of a "keep all sides happy" political bullshyt cause I think interim titles are only warranted if the title holder has a long term injury which puts him out of line, Golovkin actually gonna defend his WBC belt in May so I don't get why the interim title, they should just decide if they really want to force a mandatory or not, if former then they should strip Golovkin, if latter they shouldn't make BS interim titles. But as I said there is no logic in it, they just want to keep everybody (HBO, GBP, Canelo, GGG, K2, Showtime, Haymon, Charlo, PBC) happy

I agree. I ain't on either side I'm just calling it now before it doesn't happen.

Yall gone realize its gone be a GGG-Canelo 2 & GGG-Canelo 3, for the rubber match. The draw = 3 fights.

Yup, GGG was starved of big fights for so long, you can't blame him if he does that. Canelo on the other hand will get used to GGG and what he brings. He won't have to adjust to even bigger middleweights such as Jacobs, Andrade, Charlo, etc.. for a while. It's a win win for both.

But 160 popping. Everybody else need to scrap and decide who's the clear number one contender for the GGG/Canelo saga winner. You got BJS, Jacobs, Andrade, Big Charlo. Somebody has to get knocked out of this lineup. They all can't stand as equals. They can get wins over lesser guys and build their name up, but somebody has to break outta that four as the clear guy.
