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

Though not all the fights we want are made, we did get a full ( ) unification title 6 months ago. And Nakatani/ Verdejo was lit as hell and if you want to Davis/LSC was a lightweight fight, that’s 3 really good fights in the 4th Q of 2020. IMO, 135 is the deepest and best Division in 2021.

AGAIN People are confused because they never seen a fighter not willing to fight another fighter unless he gets every other belt in the division 1st.. If you not some Errol Spence dikk puller then you would probably view it as p*ssy shyt

Convenient plan if the other belts are rotating amongst the PBC round robins . shyt still boil down to in house fukkery end of day. If he get that Ugas belt and doesn't start pushing for the Crawford fight aggressively will be interesting to see where the goal posts get moved.
As time goes on I wouldn't be shocked if he just moved up to another PBC dominant division at 154 blamed the lack of real Bud negotiations on Arum and just keep on trucking

147 is trash because Bud ain't fight nobody worth a damn and he supposed to be a p4p elite boxer. Dude stay looking for big fights, but somehow talks them down every time.
Ortiz then has a career best win right in front of him and calls him out and this nikka start deflecting.

Crawford is content being where he is. Big name fighter making big money without having big wins. Perfect scenario for a boxer that doesn't care about legacy like that.

How you keep going to Texas but don't wanna fight any Texans.
How you see your man's get boxed up and clapped quick and you don't want any get back.
nikka couldn't be from my gym.

How you let Andrade get a more interesting opponent for his next fight before you do.

I agree, it's a bad look for Crawford to basically shoot down a Spence and Ortiz fight on the same night. He remains noncommittal towards a Porter fight, too, like what fights does he actually want? Why is he at 147?

PBC marketing propped up that trash division

pretty much it was the biggest selling point of PBC when debuted..new era of 147 coming in

so much it tried to push robert guerrero as one of those stars on my TV screen lol

deal fell apart...for what? these are 50 years olds what could they possibly be negotiating like that?

Foreal tho, being dismissive of an Ortiz fight was weird. Bud favorite line is becoming "I'm working on bigger and better things"
Seems like he ain't interested in any fight where he ain't going get the lions share of the pot on some 90/10 split shyt (excluding manny and spence megafights)

I'll say this for bud, spence was on some bullshyt with the 70/30 shyt so I understand his frustration with that. But the Ortiz? Why not stop his spark and make your biggest payday

TBF a top fighter usually ain't fighting an up and coming prospect unless they have to. Porter basically said he ain't fighting Ortiz or Ennis either when he got asked. I don't like it but that's kind of normal in boxing. Charlo vs Lubin type of fights where a dude give a prospect a fight when they ain't got any major belts or big wins are outliers for the most part

that being said i thought Bud would jump at that opportunity really. Could have knocked his ass out in Dallas and called Spence out from his hometown afterward

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

If 4 nikkas are trying to fight you N you don’t fight not one of them ... you are the problem

The TRanon groupies can do all the fukking mental gymnastics they want


Boxing Fans are Sam Rothstein N we kno Ginger (Bud) is on some fukk shyt ... N we jus sitting here like

“i just hope it's not someone who i think it might be, I jus hope it’s not that”

Boxing hipsters are so predictable. So 147 is a trash division despite the fact we have seen

• Thurman vs Porter
• Thurman vs Danny
• Spence vs Brook
• Porter vs Danny
• Porter vs Ugas
• Thurman vs Pac
• Spence vs Porter
• Spence vs Danny
• and now possbly Spence vs Ugas

All of these matchups were between top welterweights. There is only 1 guy missing and that's Bud , which is because TR doesn't want to send any real offers to any top welterweight, doesn't want to let Bud fight on another network, and they believe bud deserves a 50/50 split vs Spence which is just delusional.

But since it's PBC these are trash matchups. We all know you hipsters wouldnt call 147 a trash division if these fights were on TR or on DAZN. Developing takes like that is what happens when you look up to the likes of Steve Kim and Dougie.

  Members of Evander Holyfield's team say Mike Tyson has rejected a $25 million guarantee to fight Holyfield on May 29 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
  
  The two sides had been in talks for months about getting Tyson and Holyfield in the ring, after Tyson fought an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr. last year that was considered a success.
