Someone's gonna say "why don't he go up and fight Tank?"

It doesn't fail. It's sad because that suggestion rarely comes from a non biased view or educated view

Has he been reading this website?

I think it's fair to say he's the fighter of the year. Bud vs Spence was my favorite fight but I gotta give this guy his props. Hopefully bud fights at least twice next year

I used to hate on the kid but now i'm a fan. Greatness can't be denied, he is the #1 PFP GOAT

Fukk the Gervonta fight, him simply moving up yet another weight class to try and unify would be dope to see.

That right that KO'd was partially blocked

The wild shyt is that dude is tough as fukk. He had a fractured orbital bone and was still slugging it out with a thunderous launcher in Donaire. shyt, we follow the sport, right? Ugas was wincing and literally covering up his eye with his glove mid match against Spence with that injury. shyt, Kell Brook was too. On top of that, he has a chin, chin.

Dude’s a problem.

Inoue is my guy, but he tucked that right hand over that sagging eyeball something vicious for the rest of that fight. Difference being that he somehow found a way to fight (and fukking win) with double vision and broken socket.

Nuts!

Side note - To this day Inoue’s right eye is still asymmetrical and a little off. Reminds me of the puppet Krusty gets to compete with Gabo.

Tsutsumi/Anaguchi was a barnburner. Both fighters showed that fighting spirit
