Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[LauderdaleBoss]

Its a lot of trash talk and posturing by fighters nowadays considering they only fight twice a year and don't fight each other

and this is why hardly anybody in their prime now has hof potential. It be taking too long for nikkas to develop and make the right type of fights to truly evaluate them. shyt's annoying.

All things considered, a Teo Loma rematch would actually probably be fukking fire and I wouldn't even be mad.

Yeah but nah fukk Loma. I’m cool with Teo dropping the belts at 135 ,taking a “tune up” at 140 and getting a Title shot

Yeah do that, while the Ryan vs Tank fights happens then winners fight each other.

Yeah I kinda feel the same, Teo ain't obligated to give Loma shyt, but it was just close enough; Loma looked just good enough for me to want to watch em run it back.

Loma going out bad with the conspiracy theories, but I don't think Teo felt inclined to give him a rematch regardless.

Mikey out here looking like he's fixing to fight diabetes next, but I wonder how he fits into all the potential matchups at 140 I/e vs Haney Teo and etc.

I Know folks love Haney but to me (I'm a casual) breh look like he has pillow hands from what I've seen, so how is he going to fare well at higher weights? I know his discipline that he seems to stay in shape year around, but I just dont see "IT factor". I hope he proves me wrong.

Embarrassing, I've never seen a boxer as limited as Wilder have these kind of nutty ass stans

Pros

• quality of streams is good 9 times out of 10
• they have good program ideas and put a lot of energy into covering the sport
• RAW, Boxing with Mannix, Playback, shoulder programming for fights
• Good price/value
• Like their announced cards for January/February
• Archives even if they don't have that many, it's still quite good
• Covering the sport as a whole, not only concentrating on DAZN fighters

Now the cons:

• Jabs: I get the concept but there's no chemistry at all between Mannix and Mora, instead of friendly banter it comes off like if they really wouldn't like each other. Mannix knows the sport but also kind of a prick, his jokes come off as insults rather than friendly banter and Mora is just bad at this, he can seldom counter with something good, usually just gets shytted on, uncomfortable to listen.
• AK and Barak: Again I get the idea, and they seem like cool dudes but it's way too tabloid like to my taste. Best dressed fighter as a year end category? McGregor vs Jake Paul in your top 10 most wanted fights for 2021? Take that shyt to somewhere else please. That should be on TMZ not DAZN. I guess their subscribers who bother to watch their weekly/daily boxing shows are mostly hardcore fans so what's even the point?
• The embracing of celebrity culture and freak shows
• The commentary team... it got better than earlier but still... just yesterday on the Alvarado vs Kriel weigh in Grisham and Mora were joking about how rare a South-African boxer is and how they can't recall any of them from earlier besides fukking Botha (Tete? Mthalane? Lerena? Mchunu? Sanders? etc...). Do they even watch boxing or just skim through it? How about putting some expert there instead of people who can talk less about this sport than half of my twitter TL?

Overall I'm happy with the value I'm getting for my money which it the main point but still there are plenty to improve

i wouldnt say theres no chemistry between mannix and mora..there is but its how they interact with each other that makes me go more often than not..mannix talks too out of pocket to mora on screen for my liking...with grisham he is a whole idiot and mora gets caught up in his stupidity...mora when he is not around those 2 is pretty damn good but he has no one to bounce off of with the boxing analysis or insight so he has to be the dumb and dumber foil with those 2..i also like to think mora knows better regarding south african fighters but

ak and barak - ive been around both of them...barak especially and from the conversation ive had with him there are reasons why their show is like that..but their show is watchable..i can watch them with no problem

the only real problem i have with dazn now is that they removed all the WBSS fights from their archives...again

Mannix seems to know the sport but you’re right he’s talking out of pocket with Mora or he just thinks it’s all within the borders of friendly banter...
