op
Everybody wants Andrade vs Charlo you moron, but of course, Andrade ducked Charlo
Andrade pulls out of Charlo fight over money, communication issues - The Ring
It's funny, Yildrim and Rocky Fielding are better names than most of Charlo's resume. If those guys are such trash, Charlo should move up to 168. But naw, he'll stay a weight bully at 160 lmao.

There ain't no damn market for Andrade vs Charlo...lol
Let's look outside the c00n bubble...Like I told you before R=Goofy.. repeating lies over and over dont make it become true no matter how much you wanna believe it
fight was an embarrassment to boxing. Before people say I’m hating I used to be a huge fan of this guy until I started paying attention to his tactics
Use steroids and fight your sparring partner in your prime all while taking a vow to face no more Mexican fighters (imagine if a black fighter said this about no more black fighters) and definitely staying away from black fighters on a European tour to face as much easy white boys as he can.....Refuse to gave Mexican mandatories or dodge champions until they belt is removed from them for being overweight and apply for the title by not fighting for it, but making a phone call to take the vacancy after you refused to fight the champion who had called you out for a whole year. none of the black fighters could ever do this type of hoe bullshyt and still get treated with this respect. It’s not about fighting anymore. It’s about his record
great fighter, but that is shameful.
so many boxers I’m a fan of, especially Mexican fighters, but I’m a boxing fan first. I want tank and Haney to both win, but when the day comes I want to see one of them beat eachother. I want Shakur to face nothing but the hardest most challenging fights and he is from my hometown. I just want to see good boxing. I like Spence and Crawford, but I want them both to have difficult next fights. Whether it be Terrance vs Porter or Spence vs whomever... back in the day Floyd and Zab or any Floyd fight I thought was scary at the time, I said I won’t like him unless he fights the best. Cotto fought the best, so I became a fan of his. This man in his prime taking retirement fights months apart. No one even knew who this fukking guy was. Canelo is a great fighter and has a good resume. But they held Floyd to the fire as he was a old ass man about to retire telling him that he was scared to face this young Mexican with more firepower than him. Said he was soft if he didn’t take the fight. A old man. shyt wasn’t close. Canelo picks and chooses. Not a real Mexican warrior like the others. I’m not a fan of no boxer who cheats and takes steroids. Stop with the contaminated meat bullshyt

Zhilei Zhang Hospitalized, Held For Observation Following 10-Round Draw With Jerry Forrest

Zhilei Zhang was unable to come away with a win on the biggest stage of his pro career to date.
At this point, he will simply settle for a clean bill of health.
The unbeaten heavyweight was hospitalized for precautionary measures following a 10-round majority draw with Jerry Forrest this past Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The bout took place on the undercard of boxing superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s 3rd round stoppage of Avni Yildirim, with Zhang jumping out to a strong start before fading down the stretch.
His post-fight reaction provided some insight as to a contributing cause.
“Zhilei Zhang started off better than we could have hoped with three knockdowns in the first three rounds. But credit and respect to the game Jerry Forrest who battled back for a ten-round draw,” Terry Lane, Zhang’s co-manager noted in a statement on Sunday. “It was apparent to us that Zhang was not himself in the second half of the fight. He had a good training camp that included high quality sparring sessions.
“But in the locker room afterward, we noticed some concerning symptoms and took Zhang to the hospital where he will spend a couple of nights. The good news is that all of his neurological scans are clear. However, he is suffering from anemia, high enzyme levels and low-level renal failure, which may have been caused by severe dehydration.”
Zhang (22-0-1, 17KOs) jumped out to as strong of a start as he and his team could have expected. The 37-year old, 6’6” southpaw from Zhoukou, China—who trains out Bloomfield, New Jersey under former light heavyweight contender Shaun George—knocked down Forrest (26-4-1, 20KOs) in each of the first three rounds of their heavyweight bout. What seemed like a clear path to a landslide victory instead took a near disastrous turn, as Zhang dramatically slowed down in the second half and was badly rocked in the final minute of the fight.
A point deduction for excessive holding in round nine proved costly for the exhausted Zhang, with the infraction proving to be the difference between a narrow points win and the majority draw verdict to have instead come of the night. His post-fight demeanor in the locker room provided cause for his team to seek expert medical attention, with Zhang expected to be released on Monday after receiving his official diagnosis.
From there will come a hard discussion on next steps in his career.
“We will address these issues and Zhilei Zhang will be back,” vows Lane. “We want to thank everyone for their concern and kind words of support that our team has received.
“We also want to send a special thank you to Matchroom [Boxing] for providing such wonderful support at this time.”
The bout marked Zhang’s third straight on a Matchroom Boxing-promoted show, which began with a 10-round unanimous decision win over Andriy Rudenko on a Nov. 2019 show in Monte Carlo. In his most recent performance prior to Saturday night, Zhang scored a 3rd round stoppage of Devin Vargas on a Nov. 7 DAZN show from Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

I can respect aspects of that opinion.
There's definitely a systematic, well orchestrated plan of attack from Canelo/Reynoso aka 'The A-Side' with each fight. They ensure they get the opposition at a preparation time that isn't desirable (Kovalev, Smith, Yildrim etc 4-6 week camps for B-Side).
He's racked up a myriad of mismatched fights now.
But at the same time to you gotta salute, Canelo is fish frying legitimate punchers, i seen Yildrim hurt people, and he can go toe to toe with anyone (before Alvarez that is.)
Same with Smith, GGG, Kovalev.
shyt Kovalev (yes desperate for cash re rape trial, bad preparation 5 weeks or whatever) had fought Yarde before him and knocked him out. Yarde is Bolo!
But i can understand the fake legacy sentiment, i don't entirely agree, but i can see that point of view.
