Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.
- Thread starter Jesus Is Lord
- Start date
Alvarez is a PBC fighter, figured they would want to feature him since you got potential opponents in Adonis, Jack, and Browne but Showtime doesn't have any dates outside of Porter/Garcia & Fury/Wilder PPV
Alvarez literally knocked him off of the damn network.

Guess whoever pays the most gonna show it
So I guess DAZN or ESPN +
If it's out of these 2 then I'd rather have it on DAZN cause then it could set up a potential fight between the winner and (probably) Beterbiev.
If it's on ESPN it only sets up anything if Gvozdyk somehow beats Stevenson
Who Bivol gonna fight on HBO though...? Smith? Not that interested in that one. Nobody left there basically... he already beat Barrera
Guess that DAZN move is brewing for Bivol too. They were rumouring it before that Hearn wants him but so far he stayed on HBO, not long I guess.
HBO starting to lose everything, they really only have the majority of GBP fights now plus Superfly, Jacobs, Bivol (how long) and Golovkin
They have interest in 115 (Superfly) 122 (Vargas, Diego De La Hoya), 130 (Machado and Vargas, they had Berchelt and Roman too but they are fighting elsewhere next and Roman dot signed by TR), 160 (besides 115 this is where they are still pretty strong with them having Jacobs, Canelo and GGG) and 175 (only Bivol, Barrera and Smith now...)
Jacobs' DAZN move might be imminent too since all of Hearn's US fighters go there since the announcement, I guess he fights what's left from his HBO contract then leaves.
HBO really only gonna be the place where ppl have to go if they want to fight Canelo and the place which gives an outlet for Superfly fighters (as long as Loaffler doesn't start to work with someone else at least)

Jacobs Feels He'd Have Stopped Canelo If They Fought Next
By Keith Idec
NEW YORK – Daniel Jacobs is sure he would’ve knocked out Canelo Alvarez if he would’ve gotten the chance to fight Alvarez next.
“I think I stop Canelo,” Jacobs said following a press conference Thursday for his October 27 fight against Sergiy Derevyanchenko. “I’ve always said that.”
Oscar De La Hoya, Alvarez’s promoter, and Eddie Hearn, Jacobs’ promoter, engaged in negotiations for an Alvarez-Jacobs bout when it appeared early in June that Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin might not come to an agreement on a financial split for their middleweight championship rematch. Jacobs wanted more money than De La Hoya had offered for facing Alvarez, but he was more than willing to replace Golovkin as Alvarez’s next opponent.
“The fight was actually in negotiations,” Jacobs said. “Obviously, I was preparing for just the idea of it once I got the phone call. It was exciting and it was something that I would’ve took on the fly. But I don’t know, they might’ve just been using me as a pawn. You know how De La Hoya could be.”
The 31-year-old Jacobs believes his size and strength would be too much for Alvarez, who withstood Golovkin’s vaunted power when they battled to a controversial 12-round draw last September 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“I won’t say it’s his style,” Jacobs said of what makes him certain he would knock out Alvarez. “I would just say it’s just the size difference. It’s what I have. It’s my attributes. It’s everything that I possess. I don’t think it has anything to do with him. But he is a small, small middleweight, so I think just my boxing skills, my power and me truly visualizing it. Like I’ve always seen it in my head. I think if I was to ever step inside the ring with Canelo [I’d knock him out]. But I’ve got this guy [Derevyanchenko] in front of me, man. I can’t really think about nobody else other than this guy.”
Mexico’s Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) and Kazakhstan’s Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) reached an agreement June 13 on a 55-45 financial split for their rematch September 15 at T-Mobile Arena (HBO Pay-Per-View).
Brooklyn’s Jacobs (34-2, 29 KOs) and Ukraine’s Derevyanchenko (12-0, 10 KOs) will meet in The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York for the middleweight title the IBF stripped from Golovkin on June 6 for making his mandatory defense versus Derevyanchenko. HBO will televise the Derevyanchenko-Jacobs bout.

I've been thinking about it..I'm eating just normal stuff. Eggs, waffles, cheap microwave pancakes...havent even bought no strawberry syrup in awhile. I bought a deep fryer..got that foreman grill up. It's time to change stuff up. I worked like over 75 hours since last Friday. Best thing I ate was a #16 from Sonics.. the Toaster sandwich combo with orange juice. Nah...I need more options. Lol. I havent made steak and eggs in like half a year..that's sadwhat i eat for breakfast? gym days mon-thurs its usually oatmeal...friday - usually hit up one of the cafes at my workplace for an spinach and onion omelet and potatoes
weekends - my breakfasts are very carb filled
