In retrospect, Tank might be responsible for all those Mexicans voting Trump in Texas.

According to sources close to the situation, Davis Pay-Per-View numbers checked in at roughly 200,000-225,000. By all accounts, those figures have excited several members behind the scenes.

Wilder may have went out like a hoe...

But he still looks 100x more graceful than Trump

You getting old mal lol

You gotta let fighters run that fade to prove they are right lol.

Nah for real there has to be a balance. Like a lot of these minimalist fights are not the wave. My patience with that wore very thin over the last decade. You can show skill but you have to hurt your opponent

Yep. For example, i loved the Caudras vs Estrada scrap cause while it wasn't a 100% phone booth scrap, they both did come with it but had some moments where they were boxing intelligently. On the other hand, i tried my hardest to get into Samir Ziani vs Alex Dilmaghani but i just couldn't.

I enjoy phone booth fights & they’re even more enjoyable when you have 2 skilled inside fighters like Corrales vs Castillo

Or even Emanuel Augustus vs Mickey Ward

Him vs Teo at 140 is a ppv fight. I'm with it

What's some fights that demonstrate different styles against each other?

Like for example Byrd vs Tua. Idk what style Byrd is but Tua was like a brawler right?

What's some other joints where the tactician beats the power aggressive guy?

Says brehs in yalls gym would this sparring be considered fair game or unethical

ive seen worse in person...i mean it all depends on the temperament of the person really unless a 3rd party stops it themselves

Alot of these gyms are trash. I've seen guys openly being talked about as "punching bags". Normal guys with blue collar jobs going into the gym sounding punch drunk and shyt and still being allowed to spar. Unfortunately ain't no rules in a privately owned gym, the ethics boil down to the guys in there and it's often on some machismo or clout shyt so no one going say anything

Tell folks all the time be careful what gym you go into, you need to go to the gym a few times and get a feel for the environment before you spar anybody, cause some gyms will allow sparring to be damn near a real fight, or they'll try to find somebody off the street to allow a young buck to get some work in on.

If two boxers are equally yoked and one gets the better of the other then fine, but what does an experience fighter get out bullying someone that doesnt even know a proper boxing stance or know how to keep there hands up?

jimmy young vs george foreman - the only foreman fight where you see foreman look struggle in his boxing and paid for it
