shyts nuts besides 147/154 pbc don't have much I care about :dahell:[/QUOTE]
They are pretty solid at 168 and HW though but they doN't control them as much as 147 or 154.

In 126 they are alright too, other than that they have some standout fighters but all over the place.

Not saying that they have a markedly worse stable than the other two big providers but it ain't better either
All of them are at a similar level right now in my opinion, none of them is even close to pull off a takeover

One thing scares me about pbc though, they want to take belts and do whatever it takes to keep them in house.they way worse at it than espn and dazn

I think my favorite platform right now is DAZN
And it's not really close honestly
  • Big fights for a fraction of the cost of the other PPVs
  • Competitive fights with their fighters taking risks (granted this might be up to the fighters themselves)
  • Not only do they mention fighters on other platforms they even show highlights and speak positively about them. Contrast that with Ellberbe not even mentioning DAZN by name
  • Minor, but I like the catalog of fights and the built in DVR set up.
Hopefully they get GRJ and other black fighters on the platform

They've given us some stone cold fights of the year candidate in the last couple of weeks

Honestly they're the best by far, I can take the trash commentary and presentation given the fight quality they have consistently

Dazn fighters ( might be promoters) don't seem afraid to fight anyone on any other network.

Yup they're actually pretty trash presentation wise but I haven't ended my subscription because of the things you listed.

What yall think about the place of strength and conditionists and nutritionists in boxing? It's a trend nowadays, it seems but many are skeptical about it.

I think nutritionist can have a place especially with fighters who are less disciplined and find harder to make weight cause nutrition is a knowledge that trainers don't always have.

Strength and conditioning on the other hand... every trainer should know that, they didn't need SC coaches when they fought 15 rounds fights (with good stamina, not falling apart even in the 15th round) so why would they need them now? Boxing trainers only focus on the technique, strategy part now but forgot how to make fighters sweat in the gym? I doubt it.

Btw it came up to me because I saw Ortiz looking lean now and he said it's because he ate healthy now.
